Sorry to hear about your situation. I know it's hard, but don't loose hope, sometimes everything happens all at once..even for first time moms. It was like that for my mom with her first.

I actually didn't even have to take the tylenol PM. I think I was just so tired from not getting any sleep really. But I got the tylenol Pm last night and have it for when I can't sleep. which will probably be tonight.

Oh at least you can keep yourself busy decorating and setting up the nursery then. Do you have any names planned for your son yet?

Congrats on ur pregnancy. Hope ur well and bump is doing well. Not too long for you to go now. Bet your excited. Take care Sarah xx

Hi, have you tried stroking your tummy where the baby is to get it to move, it often works for me if not try going on to all fours as it takes the pressure off your stomach and allows baby to move more freely. Good luck xx

Hillary - Friday, 20 Jul
Hi! The only tip I have for moving baby (mine absolutely refuses ANY attempts at making it move, super-stubborn baby) is to have sex, possibly was doggy-style position. That did the trick! Sorry I can't be much more help. I tried everything with mine, dancing, caffeine, fruit juice, laying down, poking, prodding, rubbing.... nothing else worked.

Hi! I read about your m/c. I had two these past months..one at 7wks (no D&C) and one at 18wks that required a D&C. My last m/c was this past March and I got pg in May. I'm so scared now, especially since I spotted this Saturday. Well, good luck to you. Boys are fun..I have one already!! (thank God)

Amy jo - Monday, 2 Jul
