Sticky Post- DUE DATES

You asked for it so here it is! MedHelp has asked me to be the community leader in this forum as I am the community leader (CL) in the main pregnancy forum (found here:
http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/152?camp=msc). I'm very, very glad to be here! Just ecstatic!!! So let's get the ball rolling...

Let's get a sticky post up. A sticky post is basically a post that will stay at the top of the forum all the time: it will not move. I took this from the August 2009 community and tweaked it a little. Just copy & paste with your own answers!
