I'm not sure, but.....I think I heard that swelling makes the BD'ing better for you
BD = "baby dance"!I don't know if it's common outside of the infertility world.... but does that help?
I kept thinking "bedding down", but that just didn't sound right!
Ah, now I got ya!
Your doctor should tell you the same thing, but hopefully you can stop worrying a bit. Like several other diseases, etc, chicken pox are only harmful to a pregnant woman and/or fetus when she is exposed for the FIRST time while pregnant.
ETA: Your doctor likely checked for immunity to that and other concerning illnesses early in your pregnancy.... but if you remember clearly having confirmed chicken pox, you're set
This may be one of my favorite parts of pregnancy! I don't remember getting them this early though!!!
How many of you have "the dreams"? You know, the very detailed, VERY GOOD dreams that are almost better than real life?

Especially when you are going to have 3 kids within 37 months!
Hopefully I'm just here a few hours, but I am at the hospital again nevertheless. They don't really intend to deliver just yet, so the goal is to still send me home after a few labs come back. I wanted to pop on though and say mostly that I'll check in later. The last few days I have had increasing concerns that I'm glad they are taking seriously, and that's why I'm here now -- just to rule out a few things that are suspicious. I'll update in a much less vague fashion as soon as I can, but I'm sitting in the stupid hallway because they're too full to get me in a room. All I need is labs supposedly, so hopefully they'll stick me in a closet somewhere or something to get started, so I can go home if I'm going to! Just so you are sure, the babies are fine, and I'm fine. They just want to make sure things stay that way
)... there is a poor girl here who came with contractions about 4 minutes apart (over an hour ago) and they haven't gotten her a room yet. 
I'm obviously in better shape than her, but I think equally as frustrated because I'm only here for STAT labs! If I end up waiting forever for results (they haven't even found a nurse to draw them yet, and won't take me up on my offer to have DH or I do it ourselves, which we are more than willing to do ) then I could have just gotten them drawn in the office and called tomorrow. That's really the only reason I'm frustrated.

Ok Tink, waiting for an update! Hope all is well with you and the babes!
Here's my topic for today (sorry, but with only a 2 and 1 year old to talk to, I need somewhere to get adult conversation!!
Tell me about your morning sickness experiences, or lack thereof.
When I was pregnant with DD (angel 8/24/97-8/30/97), I only got sick now and then, mainly when I didn't eat something fast enough or if I saw somebody else throwing up.
With both of my boys, I was literally sick from conception. It was great to know I was pregnant a week and a half before my period was due, but it felt like I was sick forever. It was all day long until about 14 weeks. Fried foods always made me feel better for a little while, so I gained 11 pounds in my first trimester with both of them.
This time, I felt some nausea early on, enough to know I was pregnant. Then it went away for a week. Now it is coming back on, but not like with the boys. I'm praying that this means a girl.
There's another question for you all. If you have one of each, how different were your pregnancies?
They will continue to draw labs (I'll go twice a week now, which actually just equals 3 more visits until my scheduled date) and monitor liver function, but nothing was alarming enough to deliver. Everything else they drew just for fun looked good as well! This is my first pregnancy, so I have no comparisons. I was extremely nauseated for about 7 weeks, but didn't really throw up (just a bit gaggy, etc). From 8-18 weeks, I threw up about 10 times each day, unless I took Zofran regularly, when it went down to about 4-6 times per day. Every day. No matter what I did. At about 18 or so weeks, it tapered off a bit to where I'd be sick a handful of times without Zofran, and only once or twice daily with. During those first several months, I had lots of IV hydration! In weeks .... I don't know, mid-20's (weeks), I thought the vomiting stopped (with the nausea back in full force.... somehow I never seemed to really have both simultaneously). It was only for a number of days, then I was sick probably 3 days per week, 1-2 times per day. The other days I was fine. For about 2 weeks now I'd say, I have thrown up at all! 
I'm nauseous when I eat now (which before, it was ALL unrelated to food -- nothing helped, nothing made it worse), but I think just because nothing is processesing like it should.
