4. How many u/s have you had so far? What about for any previous pregnancies? ?jennlin I've had 2 for this pregnancy and will have at least 1 more. The first was for dating due to irregular cycles since I was still BFing and the last was the A/S. I had more with my other two.

If it were my first time, and I didn't feel confident in my support plan, then I would consider it. My mom is a L&D nurse and was a wonderful support to me for my first two. DH has got the hang of it enough now that I trust he could support me on his own if she can't make it this time. 6. Is anyone else having some crazy mood swings? -IkesHawaiian Yep, I can totally relate. I am amazed at how one day/hour/minute I am so happy and the next, completely negative.
