Is this normal when your prego????

red

I am almost 23 weeks prego and i sometimes feel the baby and then i can go for a day or so with out feeling it. I stay paranoid about the baby for some reason. I did with my first alson. Anyways i was wondering if that was normal. I feel like my docotr doesn't listen to me about it si i've already asked him. i was just wondering if anyone else feels this way and only sometimes feels the baby.

Also, i was wonder about still birth. What symtoms do you have if the baby has died??

Answer
this is normal, you get so used to the baby moving you dont pay attention to every single movement like you did when you first felt it move. in the uk though if you dont feel the baby move for 24 hrs you are supposed to see the midwife immediately for a check up, this is just precautionary. good luck, dont worry about still birth, worry about how to decorate the nursery instead, this type of worry is bad for both of you! if you are still worried you can buy foetal heart monitors (doppler is another term) for £30 i guess about $60 -$70, you can rent them also at a cheaper price. that will put your mind at ease, you wont have to keep going to the doctor, i included ebay links for a supplier in uk and 1 in us, postage rates aplly to shipping to uk, but it gives you something to go on! good luck

What are the cons of running Wi-Fi in a home setting?

Viktor-Ron

I want to set my new lap top up to my wireless router. If I used Wi-Fi the signal would run through the kitchen. I've previously tried sending a signal to a desktop computer in the back of my home but it failed to receive it. What kind of distractions could I experience? Does the phone effect a signal? A friend told me my giant speakers also effect the signal? Is this true? What do I need to watch out for to have wireless signal in my house?

Answer
Wi-Fi is simply data being transmitted over the air in the same way that analogue TV or Radio is.

There are LOTS of things that will interfere with the signal - here are some of the more common ones at home:

Walls (Brick, plaster, most anything!)
Floors (as walls)
DECT telephones
Analogue wireless telephones
Baby monitors (not necessarily yours)
Overhead power cables
Water pipes
Microwave ovens
Televisions
Radios
CB radios
Walkie Talkies (kids often the culprit on these!)
Other wireless networks
HiFi speakers

and so on

There are lots of ways to measure the signal - but my preferred route at home is to use the Homeplug system - it always works and I have the version that is almost the same speed as my broadband - in fact it is my 100mb LAN card that is the bottle neck.

Homeplug sends the data over your existing AC (electrical) cabling and the units can be bought freely on line or eBay.
