Most circumcisions are still done without any pain relief! Why would women allow their children to be circumcised? How would you feel as a woman if some person cut off parts of your genitalia when you were a baby? Then why do this to your sons? It is a fact that during development the foreskin...

I had an ultrasound and checkup this week. One baby, with a heartbeat! That was such a relief. I was incredibly nervous about it. Baby measured 6 weeks 6 days with a 130bpm heartbeat. I'll be considered high risk once again due to previous unexplained stillbirth, hypertension, preterm labor and...

I went to the doctor yesterday. He told me that my first test (Dec 28) came back with a blood platelet count of 132. The second test (Feb 4)came back at 94. He was a bit concerned that it had dropped that much in a month and so sent me for more bloodwork yesterday (Feb 17) and it came back at...

last night I had a strange dream, I had mental health issues, but the setting was back at school when I didn't have mental health issues (other than postnatally, I think I may have had mild depressions about 6 years ago, whilst I was at university, I had flu badly and it left me unable to...

I was having a conversation with myself the other day (hey, I'm a good listener) and I was pondering all those principles I have sent down the drain since my pregnancy... I just thought I'd make a list. Feel free to add yours! 1. Medicalised birth. I was totally against the very idea of it. And I...

Baby Andrew arrived at 11:39 at home this morning, Feb. 13. I was way off on when he was going to arrive, but I was right about him being big. He is 9 lbs., 10 oz. (and that's after passing a *ton* of meconium, so they figure I could add at least 2 oz. to it), 21", 14 1/2" head, 14" chest, light...

My wife is seven months pregnant and is basically out of commission. I need advice. I will have to do the cooking and cleaning and don't really know how to do either. I want to show my wife that I can do this for her without hiring help. Rich

I haven't gained any weight for the last two weeks, and my last checkup my belly measurement was .5 cm less than the one before - he said that was fine, it was likely from her "dropping" a bit.
