I had my 6 week checkup yesterday. No problems at all, yay! Everything looked back to normal, my weight is great. I lost all 31 lbs already. That is SO awesome :) Im so happy about that. Of course I'll gain a lot back with the holidays upon us I'm sure! On another note, Im absolutely exhausted....

For the past few weeks I have been having terrible backpain. My midwife said its because the back of my baby's head is rubbing up against the whole tailbone area (or something among those lines) my baby is also posterior. A few weeks ago I started getting these pains once in a while, in my back....

I"m just curious as to wether or not anyone in here has ever changed their OB closer to the end of their pregnancy?? Mainly cause it seems the further along I get the more mistakes mine keeps makeing and I really don't feel comfortable there any longer. It's getting to the point to where I...

Over the last few weeks I have been to some antenatal excercise classes and also had a hynotherapy session to help in labour. Everything I have heard so far from practitioners and other mothers is throwing into doubt the ability of midwives and the NHS hospital system to be able to deal with the...

Hi all. Any ideas for a middle name for Caroline? There has already been a thread on this, but a lot of suggestions were for Rose, Grace, Ann, Marie, etc. These are OK but I am hoping to find something else. Anyone care to throw a name or two out? Thanks, Lee

Taking the idea to post from an earlier post for Indian boy names... We are looking for names that work well in Arabic and English and, while we had no problem coming up with several names we liked for girls, we can't for the life of us agree on a name for a boy. The names he has suggested...

(I am 29 weeks) First off I wanted to say that my stomach has been hurting uncomfortably (not unbearable) and really feels like the stomach muscles and not the uterus. This may be gross but I have also been having loose BMs. Do you think this is normal and OK? (I am going to go see my doctor...

Hiya I have been gone for amonth or so but now I am back. The reason I disappeared is that the MW discovered I have diabetes and it has been a very tough time for me. I am however physically fine as long as I keep my bloodsugare levels under control. I am now 14+1 and have lost a bit of weight due...

this is a bit odd, since Iv'e had nausea I've lost some weight and now my clothes feel tightish around the middle and I'm only 10 weeks...that's way too soon don't you think? My muscles must be really slack is all I can think.. Alissa

Hi, all! Well, at 20 weeks I was thrilled to have my first ultrasound and see our not-so-modest *boy* in all his glory. The technician seemed to think everything was fine, as did my doctor, but a radiologist found an "echogenic focus" on one the ventricles in the heart. Sooo ... I just went in...

Looking for advice from those of you who cosleep - DH and I want to try co-sleeping, at least initially. We have more-or-less settled on using a side-car arrangement, rather than having baby right in the bed with us. I have tons of questions about this, though, and would love to hear from parents...

Hi, We are running out of time to find a name for our impending baby boy and was wondering if we could get some help. My wife is Indian and I am not. We are looking for a Indian boy's name that would be easy for people like me but at the same time that has a good meaning (e.g., miracle,...

(Crossposted to misc.kids.breastfeeding and misc.kids.pregnancy) Is it allowed to eat Feta cheese while you're breastfeeding? (I didn't have any during pregnancy to avoid listeria) Elly Mom to Erin - 1m4d old today!

Dear sir madam I would like to know if you can be so kind and answer a few questions about pregnant women 1. How many times and when a pregnant woman has to visit her dentist. 2. what kind of damages can cause oral infections to the fetus. 3. What are the methods of local anesthesia for pregnant...

Well I had another bit of spotting last Thursday so after an impromptu visit to my MWs I got an u/s scheduled for late tomorrow. I have to admit I am half nervous and half excited :-\ I do hope all is well but the other half of me just *needs* to know if it isn't! I ended up having to tell my...
