No Im not, I dont think. I dont even want to go there just yet. But, has this happened to anyone here? I just dont know how to tell aside from taking a test, which I dont want to yet (dont have the nerve, lol) Are the symptoms the same if you're nursing? I have not had AF return so I have no idea...

I am in my 8th month :-) with our first child and am constantly getting pains in my thigh (whichever side I'm sleeping on (which wakes me up :-) ). Is that the baby lying on a nerve? If not, is there any way to prevent it, put something underneath me? I've also considered sleeping sitting up,...

How are all the almost-almost-theres? :) Knee-deep in childbirth classes? Waking up a zillion times at night, have to pee more often? Take some video of those alien-baby-earthquake kicks and tumbles, if you can catch them. Any belly hiccups? Those are the best. How's life generally treating...

Last Wednesday I decided to take a HPT because I was 4 days late. My cycles are very regular. I took an EPT test on Wednesday and it should a faint positive line. I knew that any line was good news, so I started to become excited at the thought of being pregnant. I waited to get home to tell my...

A local grocery store is selling great big HUGE bags of those little candy-covered Cadbury milk chocolate eggs. I'm not talking about those bags that are like one size up from the really small ones (equivalent to maybe about two small bags). I'm talking a gigantic bag that is equivalent to, like,...

Hello all... Well, Leo and I are doing well. Leo is growing and just being an adorable baby. I am still being monitored by my doctor for my infection, but it should clear up soon, I hope. Leo has been given his middle names, finally. His full name is Leopold Sebastian Elijah H. Since I had a...

This is something that is starting to worry me...how realistic is it for me to be able to lift my approx 38lb toddler in the first few weeks post-partum? I know this is a definite YMMV thing, but I will say that currently I do carry him a fair amount, like up and down stairs or from the parking...

Does anyone have any favorite pregnancy exercise videos? I would like some suggestions! -kim

I'm supposedly "borderline" gestational diabetic, which means to just watch my diet. Has anyone ever heard of still being a diabetic "after" the baby is born? Thanks, Kim

In my last pregnancy, my feet were swollen up like a pair of boxing gloves. I wound up wearing a pair of slip-on (open backed) sneakers with the laces removed for the last 2 months of pregnancy. Those went in the trash after I had normal feet again. Now, at 27 weeks, my feet are starting to...

Well I had my MW appointment today. All is well. BP fine, babies hb was 140, uterus is measuring a week and a bit ahead. According to my u/s 2 weeks ago the baby is right on target for my due date although the MW first quoted it as July 25! Needless to say I was quite assertive when I asked...

Well, I just tested positive for group B strep. I'm 30 weeks along right now. I've done some poking around the internet and am trying not to get too worried about it, but this is what I've found so far that I should do/pay attention to: * Avoid getting my membranes stripped (which my midwives do...

I am 23 to 24 weeks pregnant and I just got the results of my anatomical sonogram from two weeks ago. My doctor told me that they want me to have it done again in 7 to 10 days because the femur length was showing relatively shorter then all the other measurements (minus 1 1/2 to 2 weeks shorter). ...

I had a blood test / u/s for Down's Syndrome this week. Its quite a relief to know that the chances of having a DS baby are slim for this pg. Apparently the risk for my age group at 12 weeks is 1:331, but the combined age, blood test and NT scan have now put the odds at 1:3300. Hopefully , the...
