Pregnancy 39 weeks : SIL had a baby 2 weeks ago. Was induced at 39 weeks, baby born weighing 5 pounds, 9 ounces and 19 inches long. There is reason to believe that her mother was watching her diet to avoid gaining weight (only gained 7 pounds according to her). She was up to 5 pounds, 5 ounces at 6 days. Now, at 15 days, she hasn't gained or lost anything more. Mother was breastfeeding and has refused to supplement although may soon start at the doctor's demands. My questions: 1) Could the baby's low weight be

Pregnancy 39 weeks : Hello, Everyone. I had an ultrasound examination two days ago, and the doctor confirmed me I had a miscarriage. Even typing this word brings me tears now. I was 13 weeks pregnant but it was most likely that my pregnancy was discontinued around week 9. I have to say that the past 3 months was one of the happiest times in my life. I miss the baby that was going to be born. I may be able to get pregnant again. But I am 39, going to be 40 soon, and I am not sure if I can ever get pregnant again,

Pregnancy 39 weeks : I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions for the last four weeks of my pregnancy.

Pregnancy 39 weeks : I'm currently trying to get pregnant with baby number 3. My husband and I have been trying for 2 years and still nothing. We had his sperm count checked and all was well, so we know it isn't that. Also, he isn't the biological father to my children. This is really getting to us emotionally when every month you take a pregnancy test to get a negative. I have an appointment 2 weeks from now to see a gynecologist to make sure all is well with me, but are there any suggestions? Also, has anyone el
