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...

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...

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...

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...

Warning: if you are anxious about spotting or weird feelings during
pregnancy, you may want to skip this post. It will definitely not
make you feel any better. Sorry.

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.

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...

Naming baby? by

This is going to be the first one where I am going to name it. I had, I
guess, very little say with the other ones...
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...

Ultrasound! by

I have my first u/s for this one on Tuesday.
I've found out what it was each and every other time, and this time around,
part of me wants to know but part of me doesn't want to know what it is.
I already have had 2 of each, so either way doesn't really matter to me. I
have tons of girl clothes...
