Elevated AFP in maternal serum and amniotic fluid by
Una
(Crossposted, I hope.)
Oh boy. This gets really complicated. The MS AFP is 5MoM and the
AF AFP is 16MoM, but on ultrasounds the baby appears to be healthy.
The simple answer is that MS AFP and AF AFP are *screening* tests.
Some authorities even suggest dropping them, if ultrasound exams
are...

Sippy Cups... by
Jamie Clark
Okay ladies, I need your input and expertise. I need to buy new sippy cups,
and I want to know what kind you and your toddlers like, and why.
We've been using Avent bottles with handles and the sippy cup nipples, which
I like in theory. It sure made the transition from bottle to sippy...

Questions about induction by
Maggie
I've been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and find out on Wednesday
if I need to go on insulin. According to the obstetrician (sp?), if I
go on insulin (which she thinks is highly likely), they will want to
induce me at 37 weeks. (I'm now coming up to 34 weeks)
I wanted to have as natural a...

Good news and bad news by
Ilse Witch
Good news first: I got my period this weekend, in spite of taking 2x 100mg
prometrium (progesterone) as a vaginal suppository. So I guess my body
knows what it's at, in spite of the additional hormones.
Bad news: I'm not preggers this round, but I knew that. Weird enough, I
felt pregnant for 5...

Not so good news (m/c ment) by
Ilse Witch

pregnancy, you may want to skip this post. It will definitely not
make you feel any better. Sorry.

anyone got any good jokes? Feeling a bit bitter today... by
Vicky Bilaniuk
I could check out RHF, but I'm wondering if anyone here has any good
jokes to share. I just got robbed and I'm feeling rather bitchy,
bitter, and plain ****ed off. I could use a little cheering up. Don't
worry, the damage is minimal, but *emotionally*... I'm very very very
****ed off. This has...

diaper disposal system???? by
zolw
Hi;
Does anyone have a good diaper disposal system? The diaper genie seems
like a money eater, cause one has to buy the refills. Diaper champ seems
like a better idea, cause it seems like one can just use regular garbage
bags for it. Safety 1st, if the same as the diaper champ, but cheaper.
I...

Sharing the news of your pregnancy: when? by
Jill
I know alot of people feel you want to wait until you are far enough along
before you announce your pregnancy. My husband and I felt this way- we knew
at 5 weeks but thought that was too early to tell. We felt VERY strongly
about it- we wanted things to progress healthfully before we had...

It appears as though I'm pregnant. About a year or so earlier then planned
but I'm thrilled none the less. :-) Very newly pregnant. I've never known
this early so I'm sure time will drag! We aren't telling anyone for a long
time yet IRL but I can't keep it totally secret, lol. It was a very...

Naming baby? by

This is going to be the first one where I am going to name it. I had, I

I named DS1 Jonathan, his parents decided on Zachary Jonathan. I didn't
mind since I had originally wanted to name him together, since we're very,
very close... DS2 I had a few...

BTDT parents: best baby book? by

Open for opinions: The best baby-care book for new parents. Assuming, of
course, that you feel that new parents even need a baby-care book, but
I'm a book person and my husband is a librarian, so we're probably going
to end up with something, in any case.
Anyone have any suggestions? Books you've...

Bad day at our house... by

All,
Well, yesterday sucked. Taylor had a seizure around 7:30am. Luckily she
was laying in my bed, in my arms when it happened. Addie was in her crib.
Scared the crap out of me. It lasted about 10-15 seconds, then afterwards
she was out of it and basically catatonic. I waited until the main...
