(With many thanks to Mary S., original author!) How are you feeling this month, three-monthers? You're almost out of the first trimester (depending on how you count) -- still feeling sick and tired, or are you starting to pick up? Do you look pregnant? Heard the heartbeat yet, or still...

Heu... I am not certain, but I think I've lost my mucus plug this morning. Can someone tell me what that is supposed to look like, so I can make an educated guess? I have books which say it should be coloured, others transparent or clear... none seem to agree!

Hi all. I haven't posted here in a long time. My DD is 17 months old. I know I'm pregnant (yay!) but I'm having the devil of a time figuring out how far along I am. I don't know why, but I coincidentally missed my last two periods before conceiving which makes it tricky. I know I wasn't pregnant...

(With many thanks to Mary S., original author!) Halfway there! How's everyone doing? Making the switch into "wow, I really look pregnant now" or have you been there for a while? Kicks and tumbles? Dealing with the glucose test, a possible amnio, results from the triple screen, ultrasounds? ...

Has anyone else noticed that her sex drive is on overtime even through week 34? I had NO drive for the first trimester (probably due to sore boobs, fatigue, and some nausea) but since late second trimester, I've been....ummm....almost insatiable. DH says he's thinking we should have at least one or...

What on Earth possessed me to buy a Jenny Lind-style crib and then start to *paint* it? All those spools and spindles! Oh yeah, it was a *bargain* (eyeroll) OK, back to work painting: -Rebecca

I am just unable to keep up anymore. Does anyone want to do it? I use Excel (spreadsheet). Brigitte

I am 36 weeks pregnant and so utterly exhausted I am beginning to wonder if something is physically wrong with me. It seems like the smallest chores have become almost impossible. I was picking up Nolan's toys the other day and I literally had to pick up a few at a time and then rest. Thankfully DH...

I have just found out that my SIL is seriously ill. We are hoping for the best, but at this stage, we are not sure just what that is. Anyway, whatever the outcome, we may need to make a trip in the next few weeks. Trouble is, they are either 6-8 hours away by car, or a 1 1/2 hour flight. The...

Hi everyone, I just thought I would say hi and introduce myself. I used to hang around here over 6 months ago. About 7 months ago DH and I decided that we were going to TTC. Well it has definitely been a learning experience for me. I thought I would stop taking the pill, I would give it a...

I would love to have my baby boy! Watch my husband with him. I have always wanted a boy.

Just wondering if you all are planning to do the whole Santa clause thing?...or do you think it's wrong to lie? ( or plain stupid? ....etc. I think I will for a while My Nephew, now 17 was really mad at my sister for lying to him all those years, but he is now over it, he's not mad anymore..;)

As far as crying it out goes, it may sound like a dumb question, but what consititutes 'crying it out' where sleeping is concerned? I said I'd never do 'crying it out' (I know now never to say never!) but I'm not sure if that's what we do or not. Usually I put DD down around 6pm when she is...

QUESTION FOR DR. SARAH VAUGHAN See below... On Oct. 21, Dr. Sarah Vaughan said she said to a midwife: "I've been reading that if you lie or sit down in the second stage, it closes off quite a lot of the space in your birth canal because of the pressure on your tailbone. What I've read is that...
