Hi ladies, I am currently TTC, and I have a bladder infection! I'm on cycle day 7, with 5 days of the antibiotic left to go which means I'll be BDing while still taking this medication and possibly (hopefully!?) conceiving with the drug still in my system. My regular OB/GYN is out of town and I...

Thank you all for your help with my VBAC,bh,cavity etc questions. I had the baby 3 weeks early on Sunday, John weighed in at 6 lbs 5 oz. - 19 inches. I had a VBAC. I had demarol and epidural (wimp). It took 7-8hrs of painful contractions to go from 0 cm to 10, then about 1.5 hours of pushing. ...

Well, we had a very exciting first visit with the doctor. DH went with me, we did the usual weigh in, blood pressure check and then she did a pap which she says she does with every first prenatal visit. Because she thought we were further along than the LMP would inidicate, she ordered a...

....GIRL! So saith the ultrasound technicians, anyway, and this time they sounded quite sure. I am thrilled. I would've been thrilled if they had announced a boy too, it just makes her so much more real to me to know which she is. All looked fine and healthy, which is the really important...

we got a little peanut with a heartbeat!!!!! Everything looked great, right on schedule 8wk4ds, and apparently I have developed a tilted uterus since my last birth. Dh's face when he saw the lil one with the heart just beating away was priceless :-) Neat how it just feels so VERY real now,...

Has anyone else had this? I'm wondering, since I stopped bleeding last week, does that mean that the clot is gone, or do I still have it and its just not bleeding anymore? (Obviously, I'm going to ask my midwife but I'm not going to bother her with a special phonecall because regardless, I'm...

Hi all, just some quick questions for all those who have given birth at home: - did you regret it? There must be some people out there who didn't have a good time of it. - what did you do about pain relief? Was your method/s effective? - Assuming you didn't have drugs for pain relief, how bad...

I'm supplementing my baby with formula while bfing at nights. I was wondering if there's any difference between the branded (Enfamil,similac etc) and the store brand (Kirkland @ Costco). DH and I compared the ingredients listed on the tin. The quantities are exactly the same. Anyways, there's a 30%...

For all I know it could...

I thought I heard someone mention this is bad for you while pregnant? I am in the u.s., and am wondering if it is ok to eat a greek salad from the grocery store deli which has feta cheese on it. It doesn't have much, but it has maybe an ounce....

I just had to share how thrilled I am (AGAIN) that I am actually having a baby. Being a first-time mom at 40 is a surprise. I hope it isn't bad luck to be dreaming and buying baby clothes. I'm just so overwhelmed by hope and delight. I have received my first package of baby stuff purchased on...
