Well, I truly believe that becoming a WOH mother has finally taken its toll. Having DH stay at home with DS is stressing me out!! I am not around DS but for 3 hours a day. We just had his 9 month appointment. There were several things wrong. 1) He is anemic so we have to give him vitamins. 2) He...

Just wondering when you can begin to dilate? I have heard you can be dilating ( or be partly-dilated and not progressing ) for weeks before the birth. -- Baby, I can't wait to meet you ! EDD: 10-Apr-2004

Hello there We had our first antenatal class last night and it was a lot of fun although I didn't learn much as this group has taught me soooo much. It was really good to talk to expectant mothers and fathers IRL. It was kinda weird but cute to see so many tummies. The guys seemed to enjoy...

Hi Jenn, I just saw in a old post of yours that you were about to take up aikido. How is it going? I did aikido for 5 or so years -- it got me through grad school, and turned out to be very useful for labor & delivery, too. -- Emily mom to Toby 5/1/02

I've been extremely busy over the last weeks and will be so over the next couple as well. I was quite happy to be at a conference last week. Exhausting as it was, it was also a big relief to be able to put my mind on other things but my own problems. I did notice that physically I wasn't quite up...

My wifes feet starts swelling in evening and by morning its back to normal. Is there any massage I can do to fix the sweeling in evening? I know its hot in the Los Angeles region and maybe thats one of the reasons ( I live in Hollywood / BUrbank locality ). I am in my 6 month of pregnancy..

I'm due next week Yay! Just got my bassinet this weekend but I'm pretty sure the little guy won't be put down long enough to use it :) Got my car seat/stroller combo, swing, and bouncy chair. I'm not going to worry too much about decorating the nursery until a couple weeks after he arrives since...

I guess nesting took over. My room is finally cleaned and organized!! Earl's stuff is boxed up and ready to go! Woo-hoo! Waking up today to a clean, organized room gave me a very good feeling (until I stood up and felt my back ache..oye vey). I will now move the baby's bassinet and a few...

"Todd...I would be very interested in obtaining more information from you regarding the closed birth canal theory. In order to present this theory to a jury, I would need a credible OB/Gyn who subscribes to the theory. The OB/Gyn would be the expert witness. I welcome any information that you...

DR. NATH, YOU THERE? YOU MENTION "LARGE SIZE" BABIES AS BEING A RISK FOR DIFFICULT DELIVERY AND BPI... YET THERE IS NOTHING ON YOUR WEB SITE ABOUT OBs KNOWINGLY CLOSING BIRTH CANALS UP TO 30%! THEY DON'T CALL IT cephaloPELVIC disproportion for nothing!

Well, first of all i'm happy that i passed the 1 hour sugar test...;-) But now they say that my blood count is down and ant me to take iron.... i'm on my way to the pharmacy now to get it.... can someone tell me if this number is WAY low or border line or what? 10.3 is what she said it was, i...

Hi all! I know I don't post here much, and nobody probably even noticed I hadn't been around :), but I sure missed you guys! First, our computer majorly crashed about a month ago, and we had to reinstall *everything* on it! Then I couldn't find the news server information anywhere, so there was...

Hi, I wanted to share with you a program that may be helpful to parents who are expecting a baby. There is a program called Heybaby ( The link is http://www.wagware.com ) that is made for the palm pilot (and Pocketpc too) that lets you keep track of how far along the baby is developing. It...

is it really ok to just take 1 or two vicodin during pregnancy... I'm 34 weeks and I have TMJ disorder and all day yesterday and today I am having the most severe jaw pain. I called my ob yesterday and she called back today saying I could take vicodin. I don't want my baby to get sick from it, but...

Just checking out your site. I *love* Jayan's month at a glance ensemble. Boy, when she learned to smile, she didn't stop, did she ? :) ( and Leo's page is cute too ... just somewhat shorter, as you would expect :) --

Did any of your bfed babies sleep in a crib/away from you at nights? How did you manage that? Thanks.

Argh! Why does everyone think all little girls and girls baby clothes have to be pink! There is at least yellow and other colors. All the clothes people are getting for me and an awful lot of what is in the stores is pink pink pink. A lot of them are cute, granted. But if you don't want your...
