Pregnancy-poll poll Okay this is probably one of those DUH dumb questions but here goes anyway: Last night I woke from a dream I was in labor. Realized I was panting hard like I was really in labor. I also realized the bed was a bit wet, my legs, and the sheet. Not a huge amount like if I had peed just like 6 inch spot. I was shaking from head to toe when I woke. Took me 20 minutes to stop shaking. My husband who is a nurse checked me and said my cervex is closed (he is not an mat nurse though so not much experience with cervex checks). I have been crampy like preterm labor my midwife thinks. I had a bit of cramps yesterday but me and my husband did the deed (wasn`t wet from that though not the same kind of wet LOL) You think I should call my midwife or am I stressing for nothing?? Yes I know I hate questions like this too! But I feel stupid if it was just that i peed ugg.. hate pregnancy!!

Baby-poll poll Has anyone else had this problem? I have always been a diehard pampers baby dry fan and the other day they had huggies supreme on clearance for 6.99 for 30 so I thought I would try them. First one he had on before a 3 hour nap and woke up soaked, bedding soaked, everywhere soaked. So figured okay would give it one more try. Put him in one now and realized it was leaking, not only that it left a huge puddle on my couch when I took the diaper off it seemed perfectly dry like its not absorbing at all?!

Baby-poll poll What parenting style best describes you?
(Baby-poll poll by pooka, 895 days ago)
high level of control, expect obedience without question, a high level of structure and clearly stated rules, often use punishment as a deterrent to disoedience4

Pregnancy-poll poll I wondered peoples thoughts on this article - http://www.pregnancy.org/print/8401 - Its basically saying that forming a childs brain starts in utereo and they can sense the thoughts their mother has and it effects their develpment `Everything the pregnant mother feels and thinks is communicated through neurohormones to her unborn child, just as surely as are alcohol and nicotine. Just as a computer virus gradually corrupts the software of any system it infects, so, too, maternal anxiety, depression or stress alters intelligence and personality by gradually rewiring the brain.`
