I had the low hCG of 2, it just turned out more than likely to be a lab error, as I am not surprisingly not pregnant. I had sore, swollen boobs, and some vomiting and my period was 2 weeks late so I don't know what the heck happened....I was starting to be SURE I was pregnant, physically,...

OBSTETRIC CONTROL VIA CRIME... Larry McMahan indicates that the obstetric crimes I protest (which include actual baby asphyxiation) are mere standard "substandard care." See below. Are there any persons (besides law enforcement cowards^^^) who agree with Larry McMahan that actual baby...

I've been having some musings, both of my births were booked as homebirths and both happened in hospital, as Ada grows older my mind turns to next time, if there is one, which does require some analysis of past events. Intellectually I am all for homebirths and strongly believe women should...

Owen Jeffrey April 2, 2005 12:38pm 9lbs 6oz On Friday April 1, I woke up feeling some slight twinges in my groin area and couldn=E2=80=99t decide if they were contractions or not. I think= I even posted about them on the group at that time. I had a doctors appointment at 11:30 that morning at...

From a public health point of view, this could be very helpful because it will allow us to target scarce resources to where they are really needed http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7234922.stm "How testing saved my life" -------------- http://www.savesecret.com (my utube version)

Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

(Also posted at mkb) Hi Stephanie I know that you're a doula in Mesa and was wondering if you knew the answers to some questions I have? You are always so knowledgeable about these things I thought I would ask! I am not pregnant yet, but we may be starting to TTC pretty soon. Now that I have...

this seems to be good place as any to ask about this. is C-section good or bad? I'm reading news stories that there have been increases in this type of operation. one common theme is that this op gives women control of when to have a pregnancy instead of the baby deciding the when.

I have been around, just have been sleeping a lot lately and so haven't been online much. the "anon" was me, I forgot about it, I was playing around with my reply-to and other settings trying to figure out a way to do something. I get so much spam from newsgroups when I have a valid email address...

Into the second half of pregnancy! So it's all swiftly downhill from here, eh? :) How's everyone feeling? Is your body telling you to start slowing down, taking it a little easier? How is sleeping going -- lots of pillows stuck into every nook? Bellybutton flattening out yet, linea nigra,...

What does "DH" mean? So far my guesses are Divorced Husband or Designated Husband. Thanks, WEB

I think my son is teething - he's 3mos 5 days old is that too early? He has been fussy more the last few days and drooling a lot - I call him my drool monster! He gets copious quantities on everything. He chews on his hands and fingers constantly and eats until he pukes if I don't pace him. He...

This story comes from New Mexico and hits hard on the heels of another CPS attempted removal from a home in Florida. Both children, one 3, and one 7 (NM and FL, respectively) were chubby. Because of CPS' relative unaccountability, both stories made international headlines. A follow-up (long) to...

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night. It was a pain that woke me up. It was sharp, burning, kinda like something tearing on the inside (abdomen.) I laid in bed for a couple minutes, then got up to check for blood, nothing. I got back in bed, and a few minutes later, it happened again but...

Hello, I know, from what I've read, that you're supposed to sleep mostly on your left side, especially in the last weeks (I'm on week 33 or 37 - to be disclosed tomorrow I hope). I don't think the baby is settled yet, which won't worry me if I'm at week 33, but which will give me food for thought...

We have been ttc for the past two months and now I don't know if I am pregnant or not. I did and early HPT two days before AF was due and it was negative, then when AF was late I did another one and it was also negative. AF is now two days late and it has only ever been late once in 21 years and...
