I think knowing your choices and what you want-epidural, natural, breastfeeding-important. Also being willing to be flexible is helpful. You may change your mind during labor or medical complications might come up. Good luck!
-
You can ask about c-section rates for your dr's practice or the hospital. My dr and hospital has a low c section rate, which made me really happy.

Hope you are ok. I had some contractions but no bleeding around 20 wks. It turned out I needed to drink more water. It felt like I was drinking a lot but my dr wanted me to get even more and drink 100 oz a day.

I have a hot sling that was wondefull when my daughter was small. She is 9 months and she can sit in it on my hip. If I don't put it on carefully it does pull on my neck.
-
It really depends on your situation but I had an epi. I was in early labor having regular contractions but my blood pressure was high. I was augmented with pitocin to speed up my labor. After I got the epi I went from 4 cm to 9 cm dilated in about a…

My daughter hated it for a long time. We would do a few min at a time through out the day. Sometimes putting a boppy under her chest so she could see better would help.
-
My cycles would vary in length, 25 to 35 days, so when I ovulated would vary. The month I got pregnant I ovulated 5 days later than I thought I would.
-
You want to wait to workout but usually walking is fine. I took the baby out in her stroller after a week. It was only a block the first time before I got tired.
-
Don't let anyone make you feel bad. You have to find what works for both of you.
-
Sometimes my husband will bring the baby to me while I am showering. I will clean her and my husband will take her back so I can finish. Its faster.
-
We started laying her on our chests right away.
-
My baby is like that a lot. I just put her in the sling so I can have my hands free.
-
Swaddling would help a lot for our baby. My daughter is 3 months and some days she doesn't like the swing, the bouncer, or anything but being held. Don't feel bad about complaining. Being a mom can be hard. If you have tried everything, you can alw…

Once I got to my third trimester, my dr told me to drink 100 oz of water, which is almost twice as much as I thought I needed...I feel much better when I get close to that amount.
-
Are you drinking enough water? Feeling faint and seeing bright lights can be symptoms of dehydration. I've had that happen. Can you call your dr?
-
My dr has told me that they like the top number under 140 and pay extra attention over that. They will check for protein in urine as that's a symptom of preeclampsia. My BP bounces around a bit usually related to my stress level.
-
I got a lot of clothes. Even if someone bought something off the registry they also bought a little outfit. Luckily I got a range from newborn to 12 month old sizes. I think baby clothes are too cute for people to resist.
-
I don't blame you for not liking it. Its weird how its suddenly ok for people to comment on your size when you're pregnant. She probably is just excited that the baby is growing and getting bigger and didn't think about how it sounded.
-
8 days but it feels so far away!
-
My dr told me to expect most of the swelling to go away a few wks after the baby is born. I am so looking forward to my shoes fitting again.
-
My dr asked me about a 6 lb gain in 2 wks because sudden weight gain can be due to water retention and is a symptom of preclampsia. It ended up not being anything but I know its one reason to look at jumps in weight. Some drs need to work on their…

I tracked ovulation with one of the urine tests. My ovulation and period would vary by a couple days every month so I think it helped. It was usually day 15. The month I got pregnant I ovulated about 4 days late.
-
Brown eyes are dominant so your husband contributes a blue eye gene. You could contribute a brown eye gene-your baby would have brown eyes or you may have a recessive blue gene and if you contribute that, your baby will have blue eyes.
-
Your baby could have brown or blue eyes.
-
Good luck. I didn't test positive until I was 5 days late with one of those early detection tests that are supposed to tell you 4 days before you miss your period. I was testing every day and it was so disappointing.
-
I was experiencing soreness around my belly button and my dr told me it was my uterus and ab muscles growing and stretching.
-
He's adorable!
-
I am so tired. I took 2 naps yesterday-and I hate naps! Its crazy how much energy the baby takes up.
-
I've gone up a couple cup and band sizes and have almost given up finding comfortable bras. I developed stretch marks in first trimester and put mederma on them. They look much better now-I am 38 wks.
-
I also lay tilted, a pillow wedged under one hip. It makes my upper back feel better. I think laying on your back can cause dizziness and lightheadedness. If you feel fine and the baby is moving alright, its probably ok. You can check with your dr.
