Oh, Joanna, I'm so happy to hear you are doing OK but so sad to hear Daniel is struggling. I hope he improves quickly and that you get to be with him full time soon. What a beautiful name, too.

<t>PT was the only thing that helped me -- I did strengthening exercises until about 22 weeks, and yoga. I had horrible back pain early in this pregnancy and bad pubic bone pain and groin pain from loose pelvic joints at about 28-35 weeks. The latter didn't improve with anything!<br/> <br/> Hope it ...

<t>You guys are too sweet! Nothing's happened yet. In fact, I don't feel like anything's progressing at all, but I guess it could still happen naturally. <br/> <br/> However, my BP readings have been all over the map -- last Mon. it was 130/86, then 142/86 on Thurs., then 110/70 on Fri. So my OB ran...

<t>Just thought I'd update. Had an appt. this a.m. and BP was 130/86, then 122/82 at the end of the appt. Doc isn't worried but said I should come back for another BP check on Thurs. afternoon. If it's up then, she's on at the hospital, so she'll just have me come over to be induced.<br/> <br/> Howe...

Thanks for sharing!

<t>OK, I always hear about the "nesting" urge and the burst of energy you're supposed to get when you are getting close to going into labor. I still have a week to go, but I am getting more and more fatigued every day. Has anyone else who went into labor on their own not gotten the energy burst? Jus...

Joanna,

Glad to hear the PE is staying away and BP is manageable. I'm right here with you -- due the 21st. I never thought I'd make it this long!

<t>Glad to hear things are going well, and that's a beautiful name.<br/> <br/> BTW, I also got rear-ended when I was pregnant last time. I was 37 weeks and had just left an acupunture treatment because my daughter was breech, and I wanted to try to turn her without having an external version. Either...

Thanks, Paige! That's helpful.

<t>Kara,<br/> <br/> Personally, I don't think Avery absolutely HAS to have a form of milk, from what I've experienced with kids I know. I watched a little boy for a year who wouldn't drink any milk -- soy, dairy or otherwise. He was not a preemie, but fairly thin to begin with, and he still gained j...
