Has anyone had this? What were your symptoms like? Emotionally? Physically? I am probably just being paranoid... Does anyone know if my mom having it with my brother and I (wasn't as bad with me for some reason) makes it more probable for me to develop it as well? Is it a definite inevitable...

Well, I'm back! I used to be more active here when I was pregnant with my daughter, who's 20 months. I'm just about 15 weeks along now with #2 (due 5/13/03). I've been much more reservd about announcing this pregnancy because I have a subchorionic hemorrhage and have been spotting for 4...

I have heard that you should just think about feeding your baby but that doesnt work for me because I...

This looks like the same blocked-tear-duct mucus in her eye that she got when she was 1 week old. The problem is - this time she has just enough co-ordination to rub the eye sometimes, and that's just making it worse (and making her cheek red, too). Any suggestions - either for treatment or just...

Well I had another bit of spotting last Thursday so after an impromptu visit to my MWs I got an u/s scheduled for late tomorrow. I have to admit I am half nervous and half excited :-\ I do hope all is well but the other half of me just *needs* to know if it isn't! I ended up having to tell my...

Dear sir madam I would like to know if you can be so kind and answer a few questions about pregnant women 1. How many times and when a pregnant woman has to visit her dentist. 2. what kind of damages can cause oral infections to the fetus. 3. What are the methods of local anesthesia for pregnant...

Looking for advice from those of you who cosleep - DH and I want to try co-sleeping, at least initially. We have more-or-less settled on using a side-car arrangement, rather than having baby right in the bed with us. I have tons of questions about this, though, and would love to hear from parents...

Hi, all! Well, at 20 weeks I was thrilled to have my first ultrasound and see our not-so-modest *boy* in all his glory. The technician seemed to think everything was fine, as did my doctor, but a radiologist found an "echogenic focus" on one the ventricles in the heart. Sooo ... I just went in...
