Just remember that back in the day, doctors used to tell pregnant women to have a glass of wine when they felt stressed. I know my mom did! True, we know better now and most of us abstain completely, but if alcohol consumption were harmful in small amounts then none of us over 30 would be able...

Running while pregnant?! I bow to you! (I can't do it when I'm not pregnant. ;) ) Welcome to the group, Becca!

Great news! The more moms to be, the merrier!!!

I haven't bought any kids clothes yet, but I've found some great deals on maternity clothes at the consignment store in town. And in January, they'll get a whole bunch of new inventory when I take mine in!

And they're on the dresses too! YUK!!! My belly is not yet big enough for me to understand why it would be a benefit to have my clothes tied in the back. Maybe I'll be glad for them later, but for now they just remind me of the Holly Hobbie dress I had in 4th grade.

CONGRATULATIONS, and welcome! How many weeks along are you?

I turned 40 at the beginning of my second trimester, and had the full amnio. I also had the screening to see if I was a carrier for cystic fibrosis, but opted out of the trisomy test. My rationale was that there is such a great incidence of false positives on that test, and I'd already decided...

Aw, Leighann, would it make you feel better to know that you weigh less than I do and I'm only 21 weeks? I started out a *bit* higher than 120, though. I have lots of friends and co-workers tell me "you don't even look pregnant," but someone I see regularly just said to me "I just learned...

Congratulations! You (almost) make birthing a 9 pound baby sound easy. ;)

Hope that the next three months fly by for you! Think of using condoms as a new adventure in your relationship -- once you start TTC, you will have many, many more. :)

"The question comes up though if we want to wait a couple months before ttc, how are you going to schedule NOT getting pregnant?" I'll tell you what the nurse-midwife very matter-of-factly told me: condoms. ;) (Now you can say "EEK! I haven't needed those in forever!" I think that's...

Hi Yolanda, I read a great book called The Girlfriends' Guide To Pregnancy. Though not written by a doctor, it has a lot of common sense and practical ideas about what getting through those 9 months is like. The author wrote something to the effect that during pregnancy, every system in...

My ob/gyn also mentioned the thinning of the uterus as a reason to be off the pill for three full cycles before TTC.

I dutifully took the day off on Tuesday so that I could lie down and rest post-amnio. The ultrasound technician started off by determining the baby's age based on head size and thigh bone length. It came out a 16 weeks, 3 days -- just two days older than the actual age. Then the doctor did...

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!! What a wonderful coincidence that the two of you share the same birth weight! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

How great! Congratulations!!!

Big pink congratulations to you!!! Oooh, you are going to have so much fun shopping. :) :) :)

RE: I've got Crossing my fingers that yours works on the first try like mine did!

Well, because my dh was telling EVERYONE at the country club where my boss is also a member, I had to tell my boss just before 8 weeks so he wouldn't find out "through the grapevine." I swore him to secrecy, and told a few others I'm close to at 12 weeks just before a business trip. When I...
