Yes! Exactly the same here. I'll be looking at the clock like wow, I can't WAIT for it to be 8:00 (son's bedtime) so I can lay down after! And them I'm laying awake at 1030, still on Pregly lol..

I'm an RN in medical imaging (radiology) and I never heard of an US causing blindness. I used to work in pediatrics and was taught that congenital blindness is caused by genetics and/or infection. That all being said, it is still not wise to do unne…

I know! It's addictive!

I had a bf in college who was one of 7 and it was always so much fun to hang out with that big family! I'm one of 4 and I never felt like that was a lot but it seems like a bunch of people now think more than 2 is crazy. But kids love having lots of…

It's this little container kinda looks like a tiny teapot, you mix lukewarm water with a saline solution and use it to flush your nasal passages. You use one potfull for each nostril. You tilt your head while pouring the pot contents in one nostril,…

Try the Neti pot if you can. It's kind of awkward at first but I swear you are able to breathe so well ~30 mins later.

Ha ha that is too funny! Was just telling my friends at work this week that I think my hubby must be getting his period soon because he was a moody b**ch all weekend! I'm like, shouldn't the pregnant chick be the one with the mood swings? Whatever!!

Dollar tree for a positive then got a digital so I could see the word "pregnant" and take a picture of it lol!

Agree, any pain is the body's way of trying to tell you something. And heaven forbid if there is anything wrong with your SIL she should find out ASAP. Better to be safe then sorry.

I hear you!! Hope you didn't get the blueberry-sized hail like we did today! I thought if my electricity was going out I would lose it but it didn't. Ugh hurry up spring!!

I'm from Peters Township its ~15mi south of Pittsburgh. I'm 12w3d with #2. Wishing we were having more weather days like this past Monday!!

oh and they had very healthy pregnancies after the miscarriages too. hth

I've known several women who've gotten pregnant within a month or 2 after a miscarriage, its actually pretty common.

It's a good idea to wait until at least 5cm to get an epidural because you will be confined to bed afterwards and being bed-bound will slow your progression of labor, and increase your chances of having a c-section. I held out until 9cm and then cav…

Yes I live in Peters Twp.

They will also order another u/s if your belly is not measuring correctly. I was considered 2wks SGA (small for gestational age) my whole 3rd trimester and had one at 35wks as well as weekly fetal nonstress tests. All was fine at it was great to see…

I am due Oct.3. First appointment is in 3 days but my office doesn't order ultrasound until the 18-20wk anatomy one. It is killer waiting that long!

Not during pregnancy but did start taking a small dose soon after delivery. It can cross the placenta to the fetus but its not excreted through breastmilk. Continued to take it while EBFing for months. It is considered one of the safest meds in this…

My first was 30 hours in total but was only in the hospital for the final 7 hours of it (think I was in denial!). Hoping this one goes a bit faster...

Due with our 2nd on Oct.3rd! Best wishes to all of us for healthy and happy pregnancies!

I did not find out with my first, and it was the best moment of mine and my husband's life when we were told as the baby was born. I can't explain it but it was just so wonderful for us to do it that way. We're not finding out with this one either. …

From Pittsburgh, expecting #2. Huge Steelers fan family. Billye910 my husband desperately wants another Superbowl victory this year so both kids will be born in winning years (1st baby in '09)! Tell your hubby good luck, the true fans love ya no mat…

My best friend had a 15cm fibroid on her uterus with her first pregnancy. She had to be monitored a bit closely but all was fine and baby was perfectly healthy. She also had no problems with her second pregnancy.

I meant Cheerios!

I had hyperemesis gravidum with my first pregnancy and lost almost 10 pounds in a few weeks, even had to get IV fluids at one point. Couldn't handle anything to eat or smell. I would sip a glass of half juice, half water and try to eat some dry Chee…

The most important thing is to not delay getting help if you need. There is normal postpartum anxiety and baby blues, and then there is the serious stuff. It is NOT normal to cry every day for weeks on end or have bad thoughts about your baby. There…

Yes, the brighter the blood, the closer to the outside of your body it is coming from. It still absolutely needs discussed with a doctor, any source of open skin is a potential for infection. Take care of yourself and follow up as soon as you can.

Please don't let haters get to you, as has been said there are many other preggys out here for you. Stay strong, be positive, and nurture that little life inside of you. An incredible blessing under any circumstance.
