I nurse on demand and everything has been going ok- I just have a couple questions.. First, I alternate sides and keep her on each breast equally (I try to!), but it still seems my left breast produces significantly less than my right. Is this normal and what can I do? I am trying to pump the left...

Recently came across this newsgroup and Iam really glad that it exists and has wonderful information. Iam ttc my #1 for about 7 cycles now. My cycle usually lasts for 32-35 days. Iam using the OPKs. Past few cycles we timed it perfectly around ovulation and notice that the period only got delayed...

Hello Shena! I've been meaning to check in with you since you had little Logan but haven't gotten around to it. I know I don't post much in here any more but I've really been following your story and thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers because I know you were going through some...

I've been at home for 9 month with my incredible baby girl--I had planned to go back to work, but I took one look at her and quit a very good position on the fast track to bigger and better things. I certainly couldn't afford it financially, but the plastic card does the job. But ever since her...

I ended up calling the midwives at the hospital hoping they would just say "just see the Ob on Thursday unless there is any trouble" ... but they asked me to come in. They put the heartbeat / contraction monitor on and all seemed OK with no major deviations on the chart (no contrax and HB between...

Hi Jamie, I am not sure if you read misc.kids or not, but there is a post about a mom interested in getting her baby into modeling. I had thought of you and wondered if you minded going over there and telling her of your experience. :o) -- Sue (mom to three girls)

This is my first time writing to any group online. But now I am really desperate to find answers to my questions. Me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for 4 months now. I m observing some changes in my cycle which scares me. I have had 28 day cycle entire my life ( I am 24yrs old)...

Does anybody know if any pain relieve medication can cause any problems = with fertility or early pregnancy. I've woken with a headache and sore = neck but don't want to take pain killers like ibuprofen if it will cause = any problem. Any Ideas ? Kazh

I've been looking at all the darling personalized I'm a Big Sister t-shirts and noted that some have iron ons and others are embroidered. The embroidered ones are appealing, but appear to be rather puckered in the photos. Have any of you rec'd an embroidered one and is this the case? Have any of...

Hi all- I never knew how complicated pregnancy would be! I just found out at my last appt about Strep B screening. I found some literature so I know basically what Strep B is and the (rare) effects it can have on a newborn...so what I am looking for is people's opinions about the screening. -Did...

I honestly feel like myself at my worst few days premenstural-except that there's no signs of lifting. And I know my husband is feeling it. (His sister chastised him for calling me "irritable"-although he's 100% correct). Is there anything I can do to minimize these mood swings? I don't...

From time to time, my 1-1/2 mo old is really fidgety when I'm feeding her. She will squirm and arch her back almost during the whole feeding. I bring her up several times to burp and that doesn't seem to remedy the problem. Could it be her bowels causing her the distress?

Happy 33rd Birthday, Sandi! I hope you have a wonderful day! :-) -- Brigitte aa #2145 http://ca.geocities.com/bironmonger/ Please excuse the quality. It is under construction and I am still learning. :-)

Hi All, Sorry this is so long but I really need to talk to someone with some experience! I broke up with my girlfriend about a month ago. Infact in the two years we spent together we broke up about every two weeks! Yesterday she phoned me to tell me she is pregnant,

Hi, I have a busy 23 month-old toddler, so I roll around/crawl/run/rough house with him quite a bit. For the last day or so I've gotten some sharp pain (feels like a pinched nerve) in the lower back & shooting pains down what feels like the back of my right leg/bum. Also noticing it late at night...

I was talking to a friend who just had a baby, where they induced at 42 weeks, and after 16 hours, the doctor did a C-section. And it seems that this is pretty typical of people here, too. If it usually fails, why put women through the pain of induced labor, followed by a C-section? It just seems...

What foods have you found that affect your baby the most? At times, my baby has alot of gas and is stopped up (won't poo) for several days at a time. It's very difficult for me to pinpoint what foods could be causing this as I normally eat healthy foods which have a high fiber content which would...

FLUORIDA DENTISTS UNSCIENTIFIC? RAED AL KASEM, DDS reportedly says that fluoridation is opposed by "uneducated people using illegitimate data." A number of towns are reportedly ignoring such dentists and listening to scientists and getting RID of fluoridation... "Over 80 cities have rejected...

Mini-vent coming on - As a person who did not/does not breastfeed, why does it bother me when people say breastfeeding in public is "inappropriate" - and particularly it's inappropriate in a **restaurant**?? Ugh! I can't imagine how it makes breastfeeders feel. It's absolutely insane. First of...
