Ok, so I've had an interesting development. I am currently 7 weeks pregnant and am getting married in 9 days. But my problem is that I've noticed that I have either poison ivy or oak in the corners of my lips and on my eyelids. I've had this several times before on my face and I seem to be...

The first ultrasound they do, at 8-10 weeks, is this an abdominal or a vaginal ultrasound? I am just wondering since they didn't specify but I am guessing they would have to do a vaginal one first? Then the remaining ones they do if all is normal, those are abdominal, right? Jill

We're planning to have the baby at a hospital, attended by midwives. Normal stay would be two nights for a vaginal delivery, four for a C-section. 100% covered by insurance if we have the standard double room. But I just found out I have the option of requesting, and paying extra ($228 US) per...

Well, looks like my ob is back at work. The receptionist called me to make an appointment for Oct 2nd at 3:15. The receptionist said that I would have to make a different appointment for an exam and that this was just a follow up. She asked if I was still bleeding and if I passed any tissue...

Hi all, I've looked through old postings on the site and didn't find a whole lot of information. I'm looking for good online sites or catalogs for petite (short lengths) maternity clothes. I'm mostly looking for pants in shorter inseams. I'm 5'3 and most regular jeans or pants are WAY too long on...

Hi everyone, I'm about four weeks along, and everything has been going normally...except twice now I've experienced a VERY sharp (but quite brief - one instant and it's gone) pain on the left side of my abdomen. The first time it happened was about a week ago, when I stood up very quickly - just...

Okay, I've just got to ask: what's the big deal about "natural childbirth?" I really don't understand why completely doing without pain medication is such a beautiful, wonderful, spiritual, *superior* experience or why other women look at me like I've just killed their pet when I answer that I do,...

I'm looking for another newsgroup now that I've had my baby. (Baby will be 5 weeks old on Sunday.) Where do we go now?? Kelly

EDZARD ERNST, MD.... THE POOR FELLOW IS SUFFERING A **NON-SPINAL** CONDITION - pathologic selective criticism: Edzard criticizes chiropractic spinal manipulators but ignores medical (MD-obstetrician) spinal manipulators! It may be that the only way to correct Edzard's non-spinal condition is...

Sounds like ppd to me and another medication will probably make all the difference. I had depression for years (not pg related however) and I tried about 6 different meds before I found one that did the trick for me. You might also try to get a referrral to a psychiatrist who specializes in...

Does anyone know what the numbers for normal should be for the one hour glucose test? I am having my test tomorrow morning and want to knwo since they never would tell me with my last pregnancy...I failed both tests 1 and 3 hour last pregnancy but my sugar numbers were always well within the range...

My boyfriend ****ed me into my asshole for weeks and now I´m pregnant ! Isn´t this great ???

Well, I guess no news is good news, lol ;-) Blood pressure = 120/60 Urine = leucocytes were positive on the urinanalysis stick, so I had the full urine analysis done - everything fine; ob/gyn said it is common for leucocytes to show up slightly above the normal level at the end of the pregnancy so...
