  1. You should pm luvursmile.. she works in PR. and besides.. she is just fun to talk to.
  2. I suffered for years with IBS, and then had my gallbladder removed and the symptoms changed. First she needs to get her gallbladder checked, and then if that is all fine, she needs to visit a colo/rectal specialist. They will evaluate many different markers for determining if her IBS is due to some kind of medical condition that can be treated with the drug Zelnorm (tegaserod maleate) or other inhibitors. If not, he can do Pelvic Floor testing, biofeedback, a sitz marker test, etc to see if she has some musculature problem. There are surgical last choice options like a colectomy, but first conditions like ulcerative collitis or Crohns need to be ruled out.
  3. Two weeks to say it, two days to feel it, two months to lose it....... *sigh*
  4. I am sorry you are having to endure any kind of added stress during these months when you should be able to treasure every moment, however Even in the case of the evil stepmother, and the aunt that just dosen't understand, and Ash's sister who has no children.... advice is usually given out of some kind of love. Even in a know-it-all, there is a modicum of good intent there underlying, and sometimes I know you just want to burst and scream "SHUT UP!" at them, but remember that you don't want your baby to grow up and feel that its appearance was the cause that Daddy and Mommy don't speak to Grandma so and so anymore... Things NEVER EVER go as planned... but alot of times they go BETTER. Keep in mind that these people may not understand you, or feel that you are competent yet, but they do love you in their misguided ways. Buena Suerte, BD...
  5. Motherhood is the most natural state a woman can be in, and is the culmination of all the puberty, growth, and hormonal weirdness that your body has ever done to you. This is what you were born to do, and what you are feeling are the fears of a mother. We all are terrified that we will screw things up somehow, we all create hundreds of scenarios in our minds on how we will somehow hurt/neglect/damage the baby. This dosen't make you a bad mother, it makes you a GOOD, cautious mother. It shows that even before your baby is born you are protective and worrisome over it. You can do this. You will be a great mother. Just remember that this is what you were born for, to love this baby, and that thousands of other women a day fulfill their roles as mothers and you are no less than any of these women. You will be fine.
  6. If you live in a rural area, (and I do , too) the only way to get to know everyone is to either just pay a social call to introduce yourself or to get outside and be visible. Ride your bike along the road and stop to say hello to everyone outside, work in the lawn, wave at people alot. Those that are receptive will talk and you can exchange info. Host a neighbor party when it gets warmer and invite everyone for a few miles around....
  7. Ovary transplant? I don't know how that should be better than implantation? I mean, in the end the eggs are not your own anyway, so what is the purpose? Do some women just feel the need to ovulate?
  8. It sounds like you did just fine to me. You have established consistency with her, and made an inroad. You know a detail of her life, that she is going to visit family this weekend. Next time you see her, you conversational in is to beat her there and ask her how her visit went. You don't know if she orders the same thing every time? It would be sweet to order it before she got there and give it to her as she walks in, and say "Now, that saved you 5 whole minutes ... I want to hear about how your visit went" or something. And maybe next time, ask for the number, too.... Be brave! lol
  9. Oh, I forgot! One more thing. I got peppermint oil from the Whole Foods store and dabbed a little on my wrists and neck. The smell combined with the effect that the essential oil has always calmed my turbulent tum.
  10. Oh! Sea-Bands were my miracle all 3 times! You can order them online or sometimes at drug stores. They are little braclets that press on the acupressure points on the inner wrist and dispel nausea. They are called sea-bands because they were made for sailors... I worked with an acupuncturist the last go-round and wore press needles (mini versions of acupuncture needles on a strip of band-aid for long wear) on the same points and it was even more effective, but Sea-Bands are GREAT! link removed
  11. Hey girl... Congrats first of all! With all of my pregnancys I had hyper-amnieosis ( sp?) where my body did this thing where from the first sign of pregnancy I retained all 9 months of amnieotic fluid straight away. My OB said it is quite common for some women to retain more amniotic fluid than necessary up front, it is just the bodys way of making ready. Just picture a tiny fish in a BIG ocean. I gained all my weight the first 3 and a half months and then actually lost after that point a little bit.
  12. I don't know. I know I don't have any friends locally that would do that, but I think there are people who care enough about me that they would go to bat for me if I REALLY needed it.
  13. No harm, no foul... And I always respect a guy more who can take criticism and then actually admit if he was wrong or not....
  14. Oh.. good. Well, I have to say that I give you credit for asking your questions instead of doing the trial and error method with your lives. It isn't always easy to ask, but it is ALWAYS smart.
  15. I would have to agree with ^. I have never heard of someone with a personal voice service that puts the callers on hold and plays muzak. She gave you a fake number, and it probably will only be more awkward when she has to lie to you again to explain why that isn't her number... I'm sorry. I would say the best bet is to cut your losses and give up on that one.
