I go for a non-stress test every week, as well as a BBP (biophysical profile). No need to worry, they just want to make sure baby is OK. Although the NSTs are boring, they reassure me that all is well inside. Best of luck!

The test sounds worse than it is. They take a Q-tip like swab, dab it on the outside of your (pardon me) vagina, and a separate swab is dabbed on the outside of your (pardon me again!) anus. It was over in less than 10 seconds, and I didn't feel a thing! I was bracing myself from jumping off the table, when the doc pulled back. I was like, "that's it?!" He laughed and said most women expected it to be worse, and he apologized for not letting me know it was so easy. Trust me, after all the poking, prodding, needles, etc. this is by far the easiest procedure!!! :)

I feel you, I kept thinking this year would skip June just so I have to be preggo for another year, lol. I never thought I'd be this close though!!! It's such a mixture of emotions!!! I can't wait to meet her but I'm scared I'll break her. I miss sleeping but I know it won't get any better once I have a little one who needs me. I am so happy we are this close!!

It's not really like a pap. All it is is a long Q-tip and they barely stick it in your vagina for a few seconds and then they put it in your butt. LOL.. It doesn't sound to pleasant but it's really not that bad. It's quick and painless.

yep, really simple. just a swab

Both bottle brands seem popular. I personally chose Dr. Brown as they have glass bottles without BPA. Breast cancer rates have multiplied exponentially in the past decades, so I am trying to avoid these hormones in these plastics as much as possible.

I wouldn't worry so much about the mattress...I too received a used crib/mattress and it is in perfect shape. I will definately clean it and use my own sheets/bedding but I am very confident in that when my Mom went to go pick it up she told me that the people she bought it from have a SPOTLESS home and she knows it was taken care of.....
it should really be fine and I am one who gets so aggravated when it comes to some of the things people say are OK on here.

I"ve had pain in my pelvic region too. The doc told me that it can be any number of things with a pregnant woman. Sometiems women can have too much Relaxin in their body and their pelvis loosens up too much so it just constantly is banging together when you walk, which causes a bruised type feeling. Anyway all though it relieved the pain for me he told me to NEVER cross my legs or my ankles because that can make matters worse, or even cause internal vericose veins. Due to the increase pressure down there while you are this far along. Hope this helps.

I have a used crib for this little one. It really depends on the age and condition of the crib. Check for recalls on the crib and be sure of the manufacture date. Your friend could have bought it new two years ago but when was it manufactured??? Make sure there are no loose or missing pieces. Also, make sure the slats are not too far apart... google for the exact measurement that is okay.

anr - Sunday, 11 May
there is nothing wrong with using a used crib! just make sure all the pieces are there and make sure you clean it.

jenjen74 - Sunday, 11 May
I say take the crib!! Especially if it's free!! I got mine 5 years ago at the goodwill and this will be my third time using it!! Like Rookie said, just make sure everything is there and it's sturdy with no recalls!!

rookie - Sunday, 11 May
I'm sure a used crib would be fine, but for safety reasons I think it would be good to get the manufacturer and style name of the crib then make sure there's no recall on it. You could check on consumerreports.com (I think).
Also, make sure it has all the original parts (nuts, bolts, etc) so that you know it's sturdy.
Once you get it, just thoroughly clean and sanitize it and you have saved yourself money to use on other much needed items.
Good luck!

You know, I always try that for family and friends and it never works lol I also noticed that he stops moving anytime my belly is exposed to light. It must startle him or something.

loveatfirstbump - Tuesday, 29 April
Me too! And it never gets boring lol. The funny thing is that whenever he knows I'm watching, he stops moving, and then as soon as I look away he starts moving again. I think there's some king of telapathy thing going on between us at times.

take care and hope it works..x.x.x

ukdutypaid - Tuesday, 22 April
sweetie, the baby needs lots of iron, and will take all of urs, the doctor said when were pregnant, the baby comes first even inside our bodies, thats why we get low iron, cus the baby will take everything we need, the only thing is does is makes us constapted. lol, so try taking a stool softener or a fibre drink with them, do not take iron on an empty tummy, and if they do give u tummy ache take less or try a differant type, but most these days dont give u tummy ache. has the doctor advised u to take them, if so we only have 10 weeks left honey, i was extremely tired and kept having crazy dizzy/blackout spells from lack of iron, good luck

I take over the counter Slow Fe twice a day (even though directions say once a day, my dr said twice). It doesn't make me sick, it actually gives me alot of energy that I have been lacking. Good Luck!!

Is your husband leaving teaching to go into the army? I can't imagine it pays that much better than teaching (I am a teacher too). Or is it the reserves? I bet he is worried about another mouth to feed. Maybe he could teach classes at the local community college or coach. I got my Masters and teach summer school for extra cash- not many choices for making more money as a teacher. I hope it all works out for you- at the very least, you'll have a hot, buff husband!

topazbecky - Thursday, 17 April
My boyfriend was in the Navy for 4 years and talks constantly about going into the reserves. He tells me that it will give us extra money, but I don't think the couple hundred dollars a month are worth the heartache. I have entertained the idea, but very unsure of it. I told him that he can't make any decisions until after the baby is born. He asked me last night how I would feel if he got deployed and I was honest in telling him that I would just die. I reminded him that it's not just me he would be missing, but also really important time with Addy. I asked him how he would feel if he was gone for 8 months and missed a birthday, or first steps, etc. I told him that if he TRULY thought that his joining the Reserves was the best decision for our family that I would support him, but that I want him to think long and hard and not do anything until after Addy is born. I know how you're feeling right now and I'm sorry.

I have braxton hicks ALL the time! This is my second child though... I NEVER felt them with my first child but that may be because I didn't know what to look for... you see, you don't really feel them. Your stomach just gets tight... like the baby is balling up and getting hard. I think during my first pregnancy I thought it was the baby turning and balling up but now that I've been through real labor and I know what real contractions feel like I can tell that I'm actually having Braxton Hicks.

Radhika - Wednesday, 16 April
Hey jaxwaqu,I also haven't felt brax.hicks.I asked my doc about it on my last visit she said,"it's ok I haven't felt them either when I was pregnant with my first baby" so don't feel left out ,there r lots of people like us who haven't felt them. Take care
