Re: Help me PS Moms!! PLEASE!
Miracles, I really hope that everything's okay with your granddaughter. How stressful. Here's another high chair picture, of the top of Mr Edward's head. He's 10.5 months now. (Where has the time gone?) Thinking of you guys. |

Re: The Official TTC for 6 Months or More Thread
Fishie, I'm praying for you guys. Are you familar with the BetaBase? (Betabase.info) EB told me about it when we had some uncertainty about my betas when I was newly pregnant with Edward. There's a wide range of numbers that have led to successful pregnancies, and increasing is definitely good! I'm ... |

Re: When did you get your BFP???
A big congrats to you and your husband!! I've gotten positives at 10 dpo, 11 dpo, and 10 dpo, and all of them were super faint like those first ones that you posted. The later, darker ones are great for convincing you that you're not imagining things, aren't they?

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Sorry I've been MIA! I did have the baby, as some people guessed. He was born last Sunday. I was having contractions on and off all day on Saturday, and they finally settled into a good pattern around 10 PM. We were a little lackadaisical about getting to the hospital, as it took so long last time (... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Hi there! Pancake, you're looking great! I bet you'll pop more in the next couple of weeks, Elle, what a cute belly! The whale feeling only gets worse, unfortunately. Charbie, I'm really sorry to hear about the recent turn of events. Yeah, those are big red flags and not something to mess with, and ... |

IHA - Congrats on Liam's arrival! He is a cutie. I love little red-headed babies. I'm sorry that things didn't go as you had hoped. Charbie - Ugh, isn't the final stretch just brutal? I hate all of the anticipation and waiting. I hope that it happens soon for you. NEL, you look great and I love your... |

Re: Tips and advice for epidural-free childbirth
MP, agreed that both certainly have their place. I may not have explained my position well, but there's a lot of gray area when it comes to "medically indicated" and there are multiple approaches for dealing with labor when it deviates from the normal, and I think that it's helpful to be o... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Hi, ladies! I'm alive and doing well. Still baking the baby (34w4d), still working, wrangling a crazy toddler (he's now potty trained!), trying my best to stay active which also means that I need to sleep a lot and haven't had that much free time. I was getting frustrated with my midwives and switch... |

Re: Tips and advice for epidural-free childbirth
Hi, Charbie! I had a med-free birth last time and plan to do the same this time.

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Hi ladies! I'm still alive and doing well. :)) We went on our baby moon last week and it was wonderful. Saw lots of great sites, did some shopping (and finally bought something for the baby!) and ate a ton of yummy food. We've spent this week trying to get George back into his normal schedule. We're... |

Re: Advice on second birth after a traumatic first one.
I would also look into a doula. I think they're more often used for natural birth, but their ultimate purpose is to be the advocate of the laboring woman and to help her have the experience that she's looking for. Labor is a vulnerable time when you're easily suggestible, and it can be so helpful to... |

Re: How long did it take you to lose pregnancy weight...
I gained about 40 lbs overall, and I think the first time I weighed myself several weeks post-partum I was still up about 15-20.

Re: Breastfeeding beyond 12 months and working outside the h
My experience -- I worked when G was 6 weeks old to 6 months old, took 6 months off, and then went back to work full-time at 12 months. At that point he was only really playing with solids, and I was pumping 2-3 times a day at work plus nursing while I was home. I can't remember how often I was nurs... |
