It has been a while since I posted, I've been so busy with work, my 15 month old and fighting a cold that brought me to my knees... Fortunately, I'm on the mend from that. I had my 31 week appointment last week. All is well with the little one. I did make the mistake of asking my midwife where...

it might seem like a dumb question but i am gonna ask anyways!! Every now and again my son ( 1 month old) shakes his legs uncontrollably when i am changing him ( i hope i am describing this right) when he stretches leg out he just shakes it for no apparent reason. it just shakes he doesn't cry but...

Well, I'm back after a great week and a half on and by the ocean. We sailed to the rental cottage and did not stop for the night - a mistake! Sailing by full moon *was* romantic, but not sleeping at all wasn't. DD slept but woke up cranky and seasick, and soon the crew was in full mutiny. I...

The major reason children should be involved in sports is to watch dad beat up other dads and to watch mom in a cat fight.

Another Sept Mom checking in.... I had my 33 week appt this afternoon, which was rescheduled from last week (doc had a delivery last week and it had to be rescheduled). I was supposed to go in the week before but I was on vacation. So it's been a while since I had a check up. I got there today...

So who's birthdays are in August? -- Rob "Carpe Chocolate"

I've been away for a little while, just busy with summer and kids being home, swimming, etc. I hope all is well with everyone and congrats to all the new mommies!! So Im about 30-31 weeks now so I've got some "3rd trimester" questions for all you mom experts out there.. Red raspberry leaf tea....

I had a failed induction with my first child and ended up with a c-section. I went in on a Friday morning and they started the pitocin and nothing happened all day, except what was barely detectable by the fetal monitor. Around 9pm that night, the doctor put in the gel and then I was in back labor...

Hi all! Well I've made it! I'll be 27 w tomorrow. 7 w on bedrest! It hasn't been so bad.....but I'm getting really huge. The twins are very active which is probably the worse part of this pregnancy. Other discomforts seem lesseed due to the fact that I spend most of my days horizontal. Only...

Well, gang, I am feeling a little silly right now. I woke up around 2 a.m. this morning with an awful backache that wouldn't go away no matter how I positioned myself and some rather uncomfortable abdominal cramping (not too bad, just worrisome). I was so uncomfortable, I didn't fall back...

Another uneventful appointment yesterday. Everything is going well. My only complaint is my feet. They haven't been swelling too much, but the little bit of swelling I have had is making them very stiff and sore that it often hurts to walk even when they aren't swollen. Unfortunately, my doc said...

Ok, just to forewarn you....this post is going to discuss things that could go wrong in a pregnancy, so if you don't want to read about such things, you should read no further. First of all, my insurance doesn't include a lot of doctors. The nearest midwives are over 2 hours away. My favorite OB...

I really want to use henna hair dye, but I read somewhere that once it's on you can't get rid of it unless you grow it out. On another site it says it last 4-6 weeks! I am confused. I really like the idea of using a plant extract on my hair. Also is it safe to use when breastfeeding? Thanks for...

I'm at 31.5 weeks in my second pregnancy, and I believe the baby dropped sometime in the last few days, although I'm not noticeably "lower" to others' eyes. My first never dropped - she was induced at 38 weeks - so this is new to me. I can certainly breathe more deeply, especially when sitting,...

wrote in message snip I took my second HCG test and the hospital doctor told me it was bad because my hormones had not doubled.. they had gone from 63,000 to 70,000 in two days.. so he told me to come back for a scan... the scan showed a "normal pregnancy" and I got to see...
