Hey all - sorry for the huge delay. I posted back on March 8th or 9th that I was in labor and shortly thereafter forgot about the rest of the world! After my water broke, I had two nights of laboring (labor stopped during the day). On...

Well, my labor pretty much stopped at 11am and hasn't gotten going since then. I'm having like 2 contractions an hour. My midwife says it's likely to pick up again once night falls. My water broke at 11pm last night but she doesn't...

I haven't been on here long, but I thought I'd let y'all know that I'm in labor, too! My water broke at about 11pm last night and I was able to sleep off and on between contractions throughout the night. They got to be about 4.5...

I haven't been in this forum for a while, but thought I'd chime in here. Before I was pregnant, I was taking a calcium/magnesium supplement called Natural Calm and have found that it helps me stay regular. I've increased the amount I...

I am 10w5d today and just saw my midwife for the first time! We were also able to hear the baby's heart on the doppler, which was really exciting. 

Can I make a suggestion about the constipation? You ladies should try a product called Natural Calm. It's basically a magnesium supplement (which is good for you anyways) and will provide a more gentle solution for getting things...
