Pregnancy & Parenting - 26 October 2006

I wanted to hear some stories about your trips to the hospital to deliver a baby. With my first kid, my water had broken and my hubbys dad was driving me and alex, my husband, to the hospital. He was so nervous that he accidetally ran 3 red lights. I was in loads of pain and right in the middle of a contraction, I see flashing lights and a siren behind us. The police officer thought I was joking. My husband told him " She is having a baby and nude flu let to there jopliyter" He was so worried he couldn't even talk. I started cracking up, so he thought I was faking it. Then he believed me when a huge gush of fluid came out. He was going to let us go, but the car didn't start. The only way to get to the hospital was in the police car. By the time we got there, I could feel the head coming down.
alex's dad and the officer caried the front of me and alex was walking backwards holding up my legs. When we got into the hospital, the baby was halfway out. I delivered in the waiting room!

My 2 month old has been crying most of the day, and most of last night.I have given her the"Little Tummys" gas releif med to no avail..I have tried to do the dryer thing, to soothe her with the sound.Her swing has the nature sounds and water sounds, but it has had no effect either.I have tried to bounce her, pat and rub her back, what seems like everything and nothing seems to work.Does anyone think this sounds like colic, and if so, do you have any suggestions as to what may help?
Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated!

I finally met the man of my dreams. We are both divorced we both have two children a piece. His daughters, however, live with his ex and there's not a problem seeing them every weekend. We were talking about adopting to make our family officially one but I cannot conceive due to emergency hysterectomy in '98. This sucks!!! Does anyone know of any adoption agencies in VA?

I am expecting my first child in February... Considering going the natural route... What are your thoughts on this? Is the pain extreme? Is an epidural going to be my best bet?

I think I may be feeling baby move, very infrequently, which is making me feel as though my dates are off, i am going to tthe doctor on tuesday for a dating ultrasound. Anyways, i just had an orgasm an hour ago, and right afterwards i felt just a flurry of movement, did that happen to you when you orgasm, does baby move more, or am i going insane?

Hello to all moms and moms to be, I just have a question, I have an appointment tomorrow but I can't wait until tomorrow to ask the doctor this question so I was wondering if any of you have experienced this, Is it normal to feel the baby on just one side of my belly? I feel lots of movement on my lower abdomen and on the right side of my belly just above my belly button. This is my first pregnancy and I was just wondering if it is normal for baby to stay on one side of my body. I am 25 weeks and 2 days. Thank you all!!

I think they are funny. Someone I know bought them for a baby shower. Should I only get them for people who are not too conservative? www.cafepress.com/fastsperm

Okay So here I am 39 weeks and due on monday. I want to know how many of you moms waited the full 6 weeks before having sex? Personally I know Im not gonna want it a little bit after the baby but a full 6 weeks? That is gonna be very tough. Not to mention for me but my husband as well. If you didnt wait, did you regret it and would you wait next time? and if you did wait, seriously was it hard for you? I know there's other things but its not the real thing..that is..lol. Anyway, just wanted to know how many of you actually waited the full 6 weeks?

Hello everyone. I am 14 weeks pregnant and still cannot shake this morning sickness. Its to the point where im really starting to believe that I do not like food AT All and can't see myself eating without throwing up. I have lost 9 lbs since the start of my pregnancy. My doctor said the next time he sees me I should have gained about 4 lbs, which is a lb and week and I really can't see that happening with the way things have been going for me. I drink alot of milk and water to try and keep myself hydrated, but find myself throwing up sometimes up to 3 times a day. I cant see how this wont hurt the baby.When i am able to eat, its a very small amount. I feel like im starving him/her...Any solutions? Ive tried the dry toast and crackers...and nothing =( This has made me more depressed than anything and everyone just keeps telling me to enjoy my pregnancy, but its really hard to when i feel this way.

I am pregnant with my second child, and only 8 weeks along. I've heard the belly gets bigger faster after the first but this is crazy! I really don't think I'm further along than 8 weeks because I was taking prego tests like crazy for months before. Do you have any thoughts?

I found a neat idea on the internet where some women had ordered a personalized fortune cookie and then took their husbands' to their favorite Chinese restaurant and had the waiter bring out the personalized cookie at the end. I thought this was a cute idea! Now I just need a creative message to have them put in my husbands cookie! Thanks in advance for your ideas :)

I was supposed to start my period Oct. 17 and I spotted once that morning and now its Oct. 26 and I still have not got my period. Its very possible I could be pregnant but I dont know how long I should wait to test. I dont really know what the symptoms should be that I should look for, currently I have a lot of back pain, slightly tender breasts and of course the missed period (excluding the spotting). I figured two weeks would do it but maybe its something more serious and I should find out if its negative and go see a doc? I'm not sure.
