I had blood drawn this evening because I've been cramping and spotted a little today. I'm only 5 weeks, and my quantitative hcg came back at over 8500. The nurse was VERY surprised and they want me in to the clinic ASAP. I don't know anything about hcg levels. Does anyone know what this...

We've had almost a month of traveling so we've been using disposables, and now I've gotten spoiled. Already today, Micah's soaked through a diaper + wrap with ONE pee, and this is after just upgrading to super size diapers. I double diapered all day yesterday, which means I'll have to get...

No, it's not me. But one of my best friends is currently 7 weeks pregnant and has been bleeding off and on since implantation. She had an ultrasound last week and a subchorionic hematoma (blood clot in the uterus) was detected. She was told it measures 2.8 x 3.1 x 1.4 cm and is located on...

I'll be in Seattle next week and I'm considering getting fitted and purchasing new bras, my current bras seem to fit ok, but are seriously worn out. If I want to do this job in the US it has to be next week, I don't think it will wait 'til October. So, which stores have good fitters and a good...

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and have only had 2 ultrasounds. The first was at 10 weeks and the second at 18 weeks. I've been asking my OB about another, but she won't request one unless she feels it medically necessary. My question is, how many ultrasounds have you had, and when (# of weeks) did you...

I have a crazy question that I haven't found an answer to elsewhere on the web. (Maybe it's in this group's archives and I just haven't found it.) Yesterday I went in for amniocentesis, during which an ultrasound was done and my approximate due date was calculated. (Looks like the fetus is about...

This is something that is starting to worry me...how realistic is it for me to be able to lift my approx 38lb toddler in the first few weeks post-partum? I know this is a definite YMMV thing, but I will say that currently I do carry him a fair amount, like up and down stairs or from the parking...

Argh! Why does everyone think all little girls and girls baby clothes have to be pink! There is at least yellow and other colors. All the clothes people are getting for me and an awful lot of what is in the stores is pink pink pink. A lot of them are cute, granted. But if you don't want your...

I guess that counts as an announcement! Much to our surprise we seem to be expecting number 3. Over the last few months I finally got to the point where I was content with not having another child, regardless of happenings in pregnancy we'd planned to have a gap between 2 and 3 anyway. With a...

A few quick juice questions, Since pregnancy: I cut out caffeine and no longer am drinking any kind of soda/carbonated drinks. Also am wondering since in a couple months Rachel will be ready for juice. I know 100% juice is much better than "concentrate" and "cocktails" that are 15% juice and...

How did you pick out the name to give your baby? Was the name picked out before you got pregnant, after you found out you were pregnant, after you found out the baby's gender or after the baby was born? EDD #1 October 18, 2003...my husband and I had narrowed our list to about 3 names each before...

Has anyone here done any research on subchorionic hemorrhage in the first trimester? Apparently, I have one. It's clinically silent (there were no suspicious symptoms like vaginal bleeding or whatever) and was detected incidentally during the nuchal translucency scan. The perinatologist said it was...

Does your child drink juice? If so, how much? How do you get your child to consume milk? Diet soda with Splenda and no caffeine, a no-no? Sorry to bombard you with so many questions. ~Carol Ann
