i saw that too, pretty unreal!

what exactly is a sitz bath?

hope everyone had a good day, I did some mopping, more laundry, made carrot cake, pizza crust for tomorrow, and pizza buns. Yum! I am getting lonely. My husband is still seeding (farming) right now, so the days he works he goes strait to the farm after, and the days he doesn't he is there pretty much all day. This is the…

Oh my gosh that sounds terrible! I cannot believe the dr did not even give you an option or consult you. Hopefully this time around you can specify ahead what you would prefer.

How did you like Victoria mel/what time of year were you there? I grew up very close to there.

I love to travel too! I spent a year in Australia, 3 months in Ireland (thought I was in love with and Irish guy met in Oz... I guess not!), have been to Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, England, Hong Kong and Hawaii. I love to hear where people have been and what their favorite places were. For me... Australia…

experienced mamas- do i really need a breast pump? they are sooo darn expensive around here! It would be nice to have "extra" milk around, but I can hand express can't I? Or a necessity?

Ok this is freaking me out! Did anybody not tear or get cut??? I am really hoping I end up being one of those women!

I am doing the exact same thing... I feel bad about it but I probably haven't logged my food for about 16 weeks!

I love this!!!! Thank you for inviting me. I have not been around a lot for the last few days but will be catching up/replying to all in greater detail soon. How exactly does a closed group work? You need the link to access it? Name: Rachel Age: 26 Children: Pregnant with first, due August 12th- I think it's a boy! We will…

pmaria- i am certain that is totally normal. My hoo ha is a little darker too, but not underarms. I have a few patches however on my face that have darkened (quite small though) that are about the size of a pencil eraser. Not to worry!

The dr did not seem too concerned about it... and it did feel like she started the tape lower than before (it was not the same dr) so maybe that could account for the huge difference from last time. I don't FEEL that much bigger!! ron- don't think an error in due date is possible because my ultrasounds have been right on.

Drs appt was ok, everything seems fine except I seem to have gained 7lbs in 4 weeks. Not good!!! My gest. diabetes test was fine though. Also, I am only 26w 5d... and I am measuring at 34 weeks :-( she said that is big, and it could mean I will need a c-section. I know they are often wrong with guessing sizes but still…

I was hoping my belly button would pop, but has not yet. It was always very deep, and it has gotten shallower, but I had quite a bit of "depth" to it as well so it probably won't Off to the Dr's now, hopefully I get to the bottom of this urinary tract infection that won't go away! (no pain, just showing blood in my urine…

Perhaps Mariah reminds him of the singer too much? hubby and i cannot agree on girl names either. I really like Nikki - and I think if you like the name Nikki, may as well just name her Nikki! I agree I don't like Nicole either, too over-done and 80's. (no offence to anyone named nicole!)

OMG. I just realized my ticker only has 2 more boxes to the end!!!

Does anyone else have the linea nigra or whatever? I have had it for about 3-4 weeks now, it seems to be getting darker. I thought it was more common in dark skinner women, I am quite fair. I kind of like it though!

that sucks... people can be so rude.

Regina- Yay!!! So happy you got the girl you were hoping for! :-) that is great news! Try not to over-do it, it sounds like you are getting lots done! now go and take advantage of that energy! Rachael- Glad your appt was good, you must be getting excited! Too bad she would not let you see her face. Boopa- I too started…

How rude!! The previous pregnancy should not matter, its about where you were when you started this one.

Welcome! You have come to the right place. the ladies here rock!

So interesting! Aftering meeting all you ladies on this board I realized how lucky I am. (though I likely pay for it through higher income taxes or something) Some european countries sure have it good, I bet their taxes are outrageous!

Brittony- your back pain sounds very similar to something I am having. When I am in certain positions, there is one spot on my back that just kills. You might remember I am having problems with numbness /pain on one side in my thigh and hip area. So I went to the massage therapist for it, and she said that it is likely…

lynn- That is sooo terrible!!! do you have a central booking system that would show the room is booked? can you show them the booking and say "sorry, we have a catered party with 15 people attending at x time"? i hope it all works out!! Anne- I am having a lot of swelling too. I am going to the natural health food store…

Thanks all for you comments re: my bump! It makes me feel better to think you guys think I look preggo.

I don't think 6 months is too long at all- I am taking 1 year. (and possibly not going back after that). That is also because that is what we get up here so everyone takes that. I have a similar situation with my own mom regarding my parents. She called and wants to know when she should book her flight to come. She has 5…

ok here i go trying it! Still dont like this one too much but perhaps now that I am showing a bit more of a rounded belly I will like taking more. Don't mind the awful slicked back hair...

I also failed the excercise challenge- I only worked out once last week- 30 minutes in the pool! Better than nothing though. I spent a lot of time this weekend cleaning and on my feet so hopefully that counts for something. Having some pain/discomfort *down there* lately, it's just kind of aching on one side right near the…

Happy mothers day!! Yesterday my mother in law, her mother, and my sister in law all went to the ballet in the city. It was set to the music of Sarah Mclaughlin and it was a really good, modern ballet! A nice thing to do for mothers day. The only hard part is that my sister in law is not herself at all… and that was…

hkystar- Don't be upset! you have done sooo well! 6lbs in one week is probably just water, perhaps a response to the stone. What happens with that now then? Will it just go away? But seriously, chin up girl. Your dr sounds outrageous... 5 more pounds in 9 weeks...like really? You are at the end of your pregnany when the…
