pmaria- so glad baby has flipped around for you! Such a relief I bet. My family/community is the same re: showers- they believe a shower is to show off the baby so they always happen after the baby comes around here. I am not sure if anyone will plan me a shower- I don't have too much close close friends around here (this…

o and danielle- I meant to say about swim suits. I bought one quite a while ago, before I was pregnant. Only a couple months though. It is a 1 piece, and so far it is still fitting ok (just a little tight now). I would buy one that feels ok now but that is just a little bit bigger/stretchy, and you should be ok. Just my 2…

Victoria I really like your names. so cute! My favorite is Emma. Elodie is interesting as well! The only thing to think about with Elodie is that she may not be able to find things with her name no them when she is an older child. Julie- that is kind of freaky about the contractions! It is definately not braxton hicks?…

I am hungry all the time!! I would be interested in hearing some kind of stat about how much your metabolism actually increases in pregnancy. Also, (TMI ALBERT) I am still going #2 like 4x per day. Please someone tell me I am not alone here? It has been like this for ages! It's not diarrhea either, just normal (perhaps…

Congratulations lynn, he is beautiful! Cannot wait to hear your birth story. Hope you heal well!

Meokk- Congratulations on the little baby girl! I agree with anne that we need a new photo update! Ron- That daycare sounds wonderful!! And sooo reasonably priced!! It must feel good that you have that sorted out! Anne- I would not worry about the moment thing- especially with an anterior placenta. I have been feeling a…

So would you guys say that near where you live that drs "compete" for your business kind of thing? They do things that make their practice more attractive? That is the one thing about the public health system in Canada- it is difficult to get a regular family dr for your family- all of the drs are so oversubscribed- there…

At my last appt they told me at my ultrasound that the baby is more developed than my dates. Yay! But only by about 4 days. So my new due date is August 8th instead of August 12th. They did not bother officially changing my due date and I didn't change my ticker, but I am happy!

Good luck lynn! I will be thinking of you! Meokk- soooo exciting! Cannot wait to hear. Do you have a feeling what it might be? Julie- That is a very sticky situation with your mom. I feel the same way. My mom lives 1200kms away though... I was just up front and told her that I want to have a lot of alone time as a new…

Sheri you look wonderful!! Keep up the good work! Bethe- I wanted to ask you about your epidurals- I know you had one for 2 of your children but not for the other 2. Was it your first two you had them for... or a different way? i am just curious how it all worked and what made you decide to get/not get epidurals. Also did…

is anyone else finding mfp really slow?? Whenever I am trying to reply it takes forever to load, sometimes I press reply again and there is a double post! So annoying! My husband is going nuts, apparently i am snoring like a lawnmower these days. I have never snored before! I am hoping this is all pregnancy related and it…

congratulations mel!!

So crafty julie! It's inspiring.

Cross post between boards... I came across a beautiful quote tonight and I just had to share A baby Will make love stronger, Days shorter, Nights longer, Bankroll smaller, Home happier, Clothes shabbier, The past forgotten, and the future Worth living for.

Ok this might go down in history as being the silliest question ever asked here. I seem to remember my friend telling me that a newborn babies bum is too sensitive for wipes. What do you guys use to clean their bums? She told me that she just used face cloths, but wouldn't you need like a tonnnnnn of them?

Yayyy!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you got a huge smile on my face reading your post!!

good luck mel, I cannot wait to hear!

Meokk- I meant to say- we got one of those snap and go car seat things. (the base that stays in the car is what you mean, right?). That is all the Babies R Us around where we live had, so we got one, and really it seems to convenient! I am not sure what you are looking for in a stroller- but i got the Luvbuggy by Graco and…

Hi ginger! Welcome! I found out I was pregnant in december and weighed 255lbs. I was up 30lbs since July!!! I am currently 286... so I know how you feel. I am feeling quite desperate to get this baby born so I can focus on getting some of this weight off. The hardest part for me is that I feel as though I have not been…

ron- I am soooo sorry about your friend. I think it is natural to feel a little bit angry after you tried to help her. I guess this just shows us how important what we came to MFP to do really is!

double post

Grrr lost my whole post! So no problems getting drs note yesterday because my BP was 150/90. (up from 120/70), Dr thinks it is from the stress I was under at work, as there is no protein in my urine and I was been very stressed! So I am off work with orders to just "relax" for the next week or two until they can check my…

Did all of you ladies do kegels before labour? I know it is recommended but I have such a hard time making myself do them!

I felt them for the first time last Sunday! I thought they were kind of annoying too. I didn't realize it meant a healthy baby- yay! I have not felt them since then though

well.... I made today my last day at work. I feel bad because I still have 10 weeks until I am due, but it was just getting to be too much for me. I still have to get my drs note tomorrow... I am really hoping my dr will do one for me since I already told work I am done, but I need a sick note to get paid out my sick…

Ok, a question for those of you who are already mamas: 1. What do you wish you had known before you had your baby? (or babies in some of your cases!). 2. What is the thing you miss most about before your children (other than sleep of course)? (ie what should I savor for the next 10 weeks?)

That sucks! I am not a mama yet so I am not sure what to recommend, but I hope it gets better! What about baby massage? i heard it can do wonders for stomach problems and stuff in babies.

My LO does not really have a schedule for movement. It is all over the place! I can go hours without feeling anything. And then the movement is kind of random too. (a few soft movements, a HUGE kick, and then quiet again). Sometimes I do just feel the baby "shifting" if that makes sense. I wish I could feel it more!

Meokk- where did you go? Welcome back!!!
