Anyone else out there? I just found out this week that we are have a surprise! We orginally thought we were 9 week based on last period, but u/s showed us at 7 weeks; so we are due about 4/11...still in shock from it all!

Do you have a birth plan, or did you have one for a previous birth? Did the doctor get bent out of shape because of it? I'm working on our birth plan now. Do you have strong preferences for any parts of the birth? Examples: Who do you want to be there? Do you want a doula? Will there be...

Bouncing baby boy! The intelligender test was wrong ;0) DS is VERY excited to have a lil brother.

Ladies, I could use some reassurance. I'm 16 weeks pregnant and for the past 4 weeks I've been experiencing minor, but consistant cramping in the center of my uterus. I've had a couple good ultrasounds but I just don't feel like this particular kind of pain is normal. It's just like the pain...

Had my anatomy scan today. Baby is for sure a girl :) I have 1 possibly 2 markers for down syndrome and will be following up with the perinatologist in 2 weeks. I will have a more in depth ultrasound, but regardless will not have an amnio as a + result for DS will not impact my pregnancy or this...

Believe it or not I actually already have mine. I cashed in all of my Delta miles for Bed Bath and Beyond Gift cards and then used them at Buy Buy Baby. I now have my second crib. It's one of the few brands made in North America. If you're going to order a custom crib I would suggest placing the...

boy!! According to the at home gender test anyways :) I figured it was only $30 and it would be fun so we took one and will see if the 80% accuracy includes me! Doctors appointment on Wednesday, and I have my ultrasound for my nuchal scan. They did the first trimester bloodwork 2 weeks ago at...

Alright...I know some people really don't like to share before baby gets here. I am going to be one of these people as with my son, my Mom shot down every name SHE didn't like!! And since my ex and I could hardly agree on anything that made it even harder. I will however share here :) Anybody...

Well I am 18 weeks today and have my anatomy scan on Tuesday, which makes me realize WOW I'm almost halfway cooked!! I am back at my old OB and very happy with the choice, I really do adore him and respect his expertise. At my appointment last week we discussed a VBAC and initially he said I...

Anybody have one or know somebody who has? I have kind of been debating...my doctor is all for it if I do want to attempt.

This causes me so much anxiety already!! My story is not meant to discourage...I really would love any advice from seasoned vets!! I never thought I would be comfortable breastfeeding. When my son was born, it wasn't even a question, of course I would breasteed. I was induced 2 weeks early,...

Hi ladies, I have never had a flu shot and when I was at the doc they told me they just got them in, and tried to encourage me to get one. I personally don't know that I feel comfortable as they are combined with the H1N1 this year - and was wondering if you got it, or are going to get it? I...

Is anybody else who has done this before really showing already?? I know they say you show earlier after your first pregnancy...but this is ridiculous!! I am in maternity jeans, I went to the store to buy bigger jeans and get a belly band, but they just weren't comfortable.

I know this is all early, but since we are footing the bill for all baby stuff, I'm starting early :) Thanks for the bottle input btw, looks like Born Free are worth giving a try. With my son I had a Graco Quatro tour stroller with a Snugride carseat. Carseat lasted to 1 since he was skinny...

Is anyone going to do this? My doctor doesn't have the high-end US machine (which pisses me off). But I found a place about 10 miles away that will give you photos and a movie for $89. They say they can determine gender as early as 16 weeks, but by 19 weeks no problem (as long as baby...

So I figured since I'm starting my lists of what baby needs I would look for some insight...starting with bottles. I plan to attempt breastfeeding, but with school and well life in general I know I will be pumping as well. With my son we went through every bottle known to mankind!! He had reflux...

Glad to see some action on the other threads!! Let's get this place moving :) I've had a couple of days now of actually feeling, dare I say it...good, hmmm here's to hoping this is a new trend. OB appointment tomorrow, my first OB appointment, funny considering I've been going since early...

Just thought I would throw out another getting to know you questionare to help us know a little about each other since we'll be spending the next 6 or 7 months together!! How far along are you? What/when is your next big appointment? Will you find out the gender? Do you think you might...

... do you go about selecting a pediatrician? :confused:

I am a firm believer that you can never have too many books on a subject...this is why Barnes and Noble loves me!! So what have you read or are you reading that you would recommend?? My List: Pregnancy... What to Expect When You're Expecting What to Eat When You're Expecting You...

Okay everyone, now that there are a few of us here I figured we should get to know each other :) After all we WILL be spending the next 7-8 months together!! And I'm going to be that "teacher that makes you participate"...everybody please add a question when you post your answers. And of course...
