I find out my babys sex next week!!!!!! I have found a private clinic that will do either a 2D or 3D/4D scan to determine gender. With the 2D you get pics and a video, with the 3D/4D you get a DVD and pics! It's booked for 12pm on Thursday 3rd of May! I have been told if I choose the 3D/4D scan...

Hi folks, Had a follow-up u/s today, and an OB visit. Amniotic fluid fine (AFI 13.8), baby's growth is fine, marginal previa is still there (follow up u/s for that at ~30 weeks), mild club foot still there (not surprising) and still isolated.. no other extremeties are affected. And still a boy :-)

Well, my office was moving yesterday and today. No one was helping the office manager, so I felt that I needed to do so. We had moving guys for the heavy stuff, but I still ended up carrying a lot of boxes and dragging desks, etc into place. I'm only 9 wks, and my understanding was that I didn't...

well my own midwife couldn't be sure of the babies position on Friday, today another midwife had a poke and was about to tell me the baby was breech when she realised she could also feel a head at the pelvis! Obviously at 33 weeks there is no need for concern, so we just laughed at the idea of a 2...

Well, there you go - I'm at term!! Everything hunky dory healthwise, and I checked with doc that the hospital rooms have birthing balls (they do), so I don't have to bring my own. Also, GBS neg, hurray! Baby's head is further down than two weeks ago - last time it was "still floating a bit - I can...

Carl, Do you have a threaded newsreader? What i mean is one that shows an original post, and all it's responses together is one string of articles seperated from the other articles. 1. I suggest that you get one, if you don't have one now. This is NOT the suggestion in the title of my post,...

I really appreciate everyone's comments on my nanny issues. I am learning that most of them are non-issues and I should back off because it can be stressful for her that I'm now home for the next 4 weeks! And, I have had friends in real life tell me that a nanny isn't necessarily an infant...

I'm shopping around for a nursing pillow for #2 - #1's pillow is old and flattened, and I sort of think it's something they should each have their own special one of . . . #1's pillow is a "Baby Sitter" made by Jolly Jumper. It's okay, but flatter and floppier than the Boppy pillows I've had the...

ok had my 32 week update with not my regular doc because he was out of town but one of the associate docs and everything is fine and he did all the routine stuff I gained 3 more pounds and heart rate is fine. fluid update: tuesday which was the 19th my fluids were at 8.0 a bit low, friday the 22nd...

Or am I the only one who feels like this? I know we all talk about the "miracle of life", but for me lately, it seems to be more of a trial by fire. I am moody, constantly nauseous, feel fat and ugly, can't sleep, my boobs hurt, etc. This is my second child, and I think that for me, ignorance...

Hello, moms and moms to be! I'm researching options for a newborn now, and my choices a carriage/basinette, stroller that folds down flat and has a boot, and car seat/carrier as stroller. Basinette definitely looks more comfortable and warm (my baby is due in very late summer, so he/she will...

about half an hour ago I got this sharp pain under my ribs on my right hand side, first thought was baby kicking, or just not sat in a comfortable position, so I got up and moved around, but the pain has not faded at all, and the kicks I've felt haven't been in that area. As far as my knowledge...

I'm not some old slob who goes around ogling at female butts all the time, however, I have noticed what I believe to be a real phenomenon of our times: post- puberty girls, and young women don't have asses anymore; at least nothing worth looking at. I know that that style of pants they wear now...
