We're happy to announce the launch of a new tool here at WebMD that we think our members will enjoy -- WebMD Answers .
While community is a place to get to know your fellow members and experts on a deep and supportive level, sometimes folks just want to ask a question and receive an answer. That's what WebMD Answers is all about.

Thanks!View Thread
What exactly is it?
If it's the condition where the intestines formed outside of the baby's body, the baby can make it. I've had 2 friends with babies born where their intestines were outside the body and they did surgery to put them back inside. It's tough in the beginning, but both babies made it and are now perfectly fine. One is 8 the other is 5.View Thread

I just can't wait to meet this lil man. I love being pregnant and never wish these 9 months away, but I really want to see his face and cuddle. I want to see how the big brothers will be around him. I'm just so excited and so in love!

How are you doing? And your lil bundle??

With this pregnancy, I "knew" I was pregnant about a week for my expected period. I would cry easily, nothing tasted good, and would get an upset stomach whenever I would eat. The further along I got, the more evident the symptoms got.View Thread
My Hubby and I fought for weeks about our baby girls name, we finally decided that her name is going to be MaKennah Ann!
It seems like things get soooo much easier after you agree on a name lol. (;View Thread

They're normal and actually start happening between 6-8 weeks of pregnancy. It's just you can't feel them yet. If you have any pain or spotting/bleeding with them, call your doctor. If they are pretty frequent and bother you, sit/lay down, relax, and drink lots of water.View Thread
She said it could be a number of things. 1-This is my 3rd pregnancy, and a lot of women tend to get bigger sooner after each baby. 2-Baby could have had a growth spurt. Not enough to measure a whole 6 weeks ahead, but it could contribute a little bit. 3-Baby is WAY high. She could feel baby right at the top of my uterus, and that was where LO's HB was.
She wasn't too worried, though. I have the anatomy scan tomorrow, so she marked in my records that I was measuring ahead and to make sure to check that out at the ultrasound too. She didn't seem too worried about it. They won't be changing my due date, even if baby is measuring bigger, because the most accurate dating was done at 9w6d. If baby is really big, I'll just have to be going in frequently for ultrasounds to track baby's growth and just take it ultrasound by ultrasound. We'll see how everything is tomorrow at the ultrasound!

Measuring at 25 weeks explains a lot, though. My belly has shifted dramatically since 17 weeks and this week I noticed I get out of breath easier.
Anyone else gone through this?View Thread
We have figured out what we're going to do. Hubby has decided that we're going to find out the gender. As the date of the ultrasound got closer, he's been thinking more and more about it and decided we'll find out. If it is a boy, I do want to use the masculine name of her middle name as either first or middle name of baby, but hubby doesn't like it. We put trying to find boy names of her names on hold until we find out, because hubby thinks 1 million % that it's a girl, and he's not going along with ANY boy name right now! Lol.
Our ultrasound is tomorrow, so hopefully we have a cooperative baby!
