There's another called "Harmony" and I've heard of Verify (or something like that), too. I found out today that the maternit21 plus gives sex determination results, and I guess Harmony doesn't. We haven't found out the sex of the baby,...

I just found out that sex determination results are part of the materniT21 plus test I did. So if we wanted to, we could find out ASAP. Wow. I'm kind of stunned. Sorry for the silly post, but I don't know who else to tell!  

I used hypnobabies for my other birth and for the most part it was good for me. I love using hypnosis in general. During my birthing time, I was very militant about following all the directions and "doing hypnobabies" and feel that...

I had a really difficult pregnancy last time, due to emotional factors and little (2-3 hours) of sleep each day for the last couple of months prior to birth. I used hypnobabies very diligently, except that due to severe restless legs,...

I had a nice hypnobabies birth with my first child. I even use self hypnosis quite a bit for a range of physical and emotional issues. But I am also meditate regularly as a person of faith (not in a Buddhist framework anymore, but in...

I had this the other day. It was so horrible that I was afraid at first there was something really wrong. What helped me was to get in the floor in a pseudo child pose position (couldn't get totally in the position even though I could...
