Hello Ladies! Congratulations to everybody - especially those who have suffered losses . I am almost 16 weeks (Manmohini is a few days ahead of me) but haven't been doing the check-in before this b/c I didn't really believe my little bean was going to stick until now. I have had 2 losses...

Manmohini- I am the same way - I am popping out at 14 weeks, too! and if it makes you feel any better, I have been exercising the whole time. I gained about 5 lbs over the first 2 months, then nothing the 3rd ... but during this past week, I gained 4 lbs suddenly. I think your baby is...

If it's not a UTI or a kidney problem, she may be stressed out. There is a spray called Feliway (it also comes in a wall outlet dispenser) that helps with this. It contains feline "happy" pheromones and if you spray it on your couch will keep her from peeing on it. Your vet can also...

Welcome :) I tend to lurk more than post, but I am also about 3 months along (11 w, 2 days). During the past year and a half I've had 2 miscarriages; I also had an injured right foot before this pregnancy, so I have a fair idea of where you're coming from. Cathe has been my dvd diva for...

Manmohini, I'm glad you were able to make an u/s appointment - I think it will ease your mind to see how things are progressing. It's so funny that I am only a day behind you :) There are places you can rent dopplers from for either $25 or $45/month (reg. vs. digital). I think the site...

I will be 7 weeks tomorrow and know exactly how you feel. I have had 2 miscarriages in the past year and a half - one at 6 weeks, another at 9 weeks. My best advice to you would be, as pp suggested, to see another doctor right away. With my second pregnancy (that miscarried) and my current...

Hi there, It sounds like you have already gotten some wonderful advice. I just wanted to add another tale of caution regarding an amnio ... a friend who is 38 got pregnant on her first attempt - and was offered an amnio due to her age. Well, the baby's other tests had all been perfectly...

bumping one more time :) arancini

Poor kitty! I don't allow my kitties outside, but I do manage a feral colony in my neighborhood - so I've trapped and medicated many wild kitties. If the antibiotics are pills, you can use Pill Pockets, which are treats that have hollows in them for pills. You just pinch them shut and usually...

bump! arancini

Hi Cathe & Educated Crowd, I've noticed over the past 6 months that my right wrist is not as flexible as it used to be. When I hold my arms out straight and bend my hands up and back (to make and L shape), my left makes and L and my right now comes short by over an inch. It doesn't hurt...

Hah! Yep, I do indeed remember exercising to this in the gym/cafeteria of my elementary school - and this would have been in the 80's ... I wonder if little kids are doing this somewhere still ... I can only remember as much as you've posted, but it still pops into my head now and then...

Fellow TMJers, The new ones (like my splint) are kind of like the clear braces that are around now. It's small and just covers my teeth (and it's only for nighttime). You wouldn't even know somebody was wearing it unless you were to kiss them - or asked them to sing a song, maybe (that last...

Thanks, Sparrow! You just reminded me to set my TVR for this (I'll be out of town) - it would've slipped my mind. BTW, do you have a favorite bit torrent site? DH and I are trying to figure out where we want to start streaming from and what kind of machine you need to have devoted to...

Hi Lea - When you're at the dentist, see if they make splints - they're like a clear retainer you wear on the bottom set of teeth. I LOVE mine - it keeps my jaw in allignment and I never have any pain now. What they do is make a mold of your teeth out of some cool acrylic-like material ...

Although I love HC Extreme, I think that Terminator is more intense - so if I were you I wouldn't be afraid to try any of them :) Imax 3 is much easier in segments - have fun! arancini

I ordered mine online - they came with a dvd tutorial about how to use them correctly. IMO, it is not that hard to pick up and you don't really need a "professional" to show you the ropes. I can't remember which site I got mine from - I just did a search for the mbt site and went from there...

I love my MBT sneakers! I originally got them b/c my right foot kept cramping after swimming, and it helped my foot/feet a lot. They are very comfortable and are great to wear on the elliptical. I sometimes wear them on hikes (not super rocky terrain). they have given me great definition in...

Carrie, Well, the weather in NC is impossible to beat - but it culturally ummm ... "lacking" would be the polite term. So, I would choose OR over NC for all around happiness and quality of life. I have no clue about Boeing or your husband's job prospects (Janie seems to know a lot about...
