Hi, don't worry, I WILL call my midwife if this keeps up. Just curious to know if anyone else has experienced a low tightness, almost like a cramping or a bruised feeling below belly button and above your pelvis? My baby has dropped...or officially engaged as far as I know. But I haven't...

Hey Marsha, still negotiating but things are looking up. Thanks for asking! :-) I started the first assignment the other night and I thought it was pretty good, haven't gotten to releasing the fear yet -- too busy still. I actually wept with the "safe place" cd...I chose my safe place as my...

Hey there ladies, I saw my midwife today and she did an exam and informed me that my baby is in THE position, head down feet up. Lovely. I'm so happy!! Yes, I know the baby can squirm back out of position any time, but...I'm trying to be conscious of sitting up straight and not lying back on...

Hi Manmohini, Good timing! I just sent the links I've been using to my friend who's 1 week ahead of me. Her baby was in position but has done a flip turn. Here are my favorite resources: http://pregnancyandbaby.com/pregnancy/baby/How-can-I-tell-your-babys-position-in-utero-175.htm...

Thanks Chrissy!! I tried a bunch of things today and tonight my little one definitely shifted into a southerly direction. My bump has taken on a slightly different shape from this afternoon -- so cool that this stuff works!! Your positions sound great and a lot more comfy than some of the...

Hi Marsha, I just got my books and CDs last week. I haven't had time to go through the program yet b/c we're knee deep in mortgage negotiations on a new house. I did listen to the one CD that you can use while driving and walking, it's positive affirmations. I've found that these things...

Hi Maria, Congrats! I'm 33 weeks now, with my first too. I felt great at 20 weeks and began increasing my workouts. I took it pretty easy the first trimester so it was nice to get back into it. I used Cathe's Gym styles a lot, I loved the GS shoulders and the GS legs. I've tapered off doing...

Hi Moms and Mommies to be, I'm just 33 weeks tomorow and I'm looking for any tips on how to get my baby (1st child) into position so I'm not dealing with a breech baby. I don't have confirmation of my baby's current position (transverse diagonal? I suspect), but I should have a better sense...

I had a similar thing happen back in March, a bunch of faint positives and I was sure I couldn't be pregnant due to timing circumstances similar to yours. But...lo and behold, I'm now 8 mos pregnant. So...you never know. I make immaculate conception jokes all the time :-) ...though my guess is...

Thanks Ladies!!! I made it official and ordered the one I wanted online, we need the risers and a few other things so we ordered it directly from the manufacturer even though it's not the lowest price. It seemed easier than saving a few bucks to get sheets here, risers there and the crib...

RE: Lamaz Method vs. Bradley Method for Natural Childbi... Tonilah, Thanks so much for posting this! I've been looking for a positive affirmations CD about a smooth delivery, I'm a big believer in positive visualization and its power and they have a new CD available that looks great (just...

Hey Diana, Thanks so much for all the comments and details about the sleeper, this is exactly the kind of info that I was looking for to seal the deal. Great to hear that you LOVE it and are still using it for your 2nd. Plus, a thumbs up on the design from an engineer hubby is good news for...

Hi Moms, We're expecting in 2 months and are living in a small house with a tiny bedroom while we search for our new home. Just in case the baby comes before we've bought our new home I'd like to get a mini co-sleeper bassinet. It's smaller than a pack n' play and will allow me to attach it...

Chrissy that's awesome!! Welcome little Ella!! Beautiful name, and she sounds so precious -- you can hear the love and joy in your writing, so cool. I'm happy she's here and your birth story is a relatively short one. Just 40 minutes of pushing - yer a champ! Enjoy your time with Ella and...

Hey Mommies, I hope everyone is feeling well. Chrissy, good luck to you, I'm praying that you go soon and have a super smooth delivery! Hang tough. Arancini, Congrats on the move!!! I'm so jealous, we've been spending every extra free moment seeing homes in person or online. I can't wait...

The tests sound like a great idea. I know my mom clotted in pregnancy and with birth control pills so I've never been on them -- I'm sort of anti-drug at the core anyway, so that was an easy decision. You do sound like you're doing everything right, I hope you find a solution that's simple...

Hi Manmohini, sorry you're going through this, it sounds awful. I've recently had some disturbing swelling in my ankles, feet, legs, and hands too, and I'm just a week ahead of you (29) -- it's oddly reassuring that I'm not the only one. :-( I was worried about toxemia but my face and...

Hey all, Sounds like you guys are doing well. Not much time to workout here, we're looking at homes and trying to get it all wrapped up by the time we deliver in early November...it's been a very stressful few weeks! I've been feeling HUGE, I'm 28 weeks, just had an appt today and found...

Manmohini, That is a late m/c...I'm so sorry. Mine was just 8 weeks. I'm sure it's so hard when you've passed the supposed "danger zone" and then it happens anyway. My heart goes out to you and everyone who experiences such a thing. A friend of mine and his wife lost their first at 5 months...

Manmohini, I'm so glad to hear that you're in the same boat. Makes me feel less weird about it. I do feel funny about stocking up for all kinds of reasons, practical and personal. I want to keep the gear to a minimum as well. I think the miscarriage taught me a big lesson about not taking...
