Everyone in my family is named after someone, I love this tradition and want to continue it... My late maternal grandmother was Mary Catherine Bradeen, she was called Kaye. My sister and my late mother both have Kaye as a middle name. If we have a girl, we like Bradeen Kaye (three syllable last...

Anybody know whether its safe or not if we colour and highlight our hair during pregnancy... Thanks

Xander is now 2 mos old and we've recently introduced him to a bottle (of EBM) and he refuses to take it. We tried a few times right after he was born so the kids could feed him (about 1/2 ounce each time) and he was fine with it. I decided it was time to try again and forget it. We've tried Avent...

By placing your hand on your abdomen and feeling around? I keep hearing people say doctors can tell if all is normal by feeling etc......all I can feel on my stomach is unidentifiable. It feels like a hard, protruding stomach. Of course I think I may be showing small? I have no idea since this is...

Well, I had my first ultrasound this morning at 20 weeks, and it was a fantastic experience! The technician was so enthusiastic and informative and she was having a great time showing us all around our little beanie! We saw the heart and kidneys and the spine and 5 toes on each foot and 5 fingers...

After a month of being offline, being homeless and unbeliveably stressed for a few weeks, and finally settling into our new home, I'm finally back online, with a brand new computer, new name, the works. Everyone is doing great..........we're settling into life in the country. The first few...

I've heard that sperm can live up to 3-4 days before the egg pops out and is fertilized, but what's the story with sex after ovulation? How long does the egg stick around until it's too late to be fertilized? Let's say, for example, you BD at 2dpo. Too late? What about 4dpo? Mary S. mom to...

We all agree with this, and no offense, but this is old news and has been posted in this newsgroup multiple times. You must be a newcomer! :-) Larry, a bf advocate who has posted some of this research himself. :-) writes:

Had my check up today. The girl's heartbeat is nice and strong. My BP is 120 over 70 and the doctor said I had gained too much weight. ARGH! Her scale says 182 lbs. Mine says 173 lbs. So, I'm right and she's wrong. Still, that IS an 18 lb gain since July 28th. YIKES! That's nearly 5 lbs...

Does anyone know any DIY pressure points I could use for turning a posterior baby or a breech baby? I think I am going to end up with a posterior one as I have an anterior placenta, although I am doing all the excercises. I have heard of good results for natural treatments for breech but not...

Hi All! Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about the baby still being breech at 35 weeks. I had lost my connection to the Internet for quite some time, so I couldn't respond any sooner. I had another check by the midwife last Tuesday. She thinks the baby has turned into the right...

Well how funny I should ask you all if offering my friend those herbs would be insensitive. She just posted an update on the group we both read and asked for them. Apparently she's been upset enough to have gone to the Dr for help. Her husband checked out fine, and so did she. She had her...

Greetings, all :) I really just wanted to post a quick thank you note to all of you -- I'm really late finding this group (36w 2d) and have spent the last couple of weeks "cramming" to get caught up. Reading everyone's stories has gone a long way to help me feel a little less bizarre as I...

I had a baby a few weeks ago and he came out quite blue. He cried right away and turned a nice pink but still was scary to me. I had a vaginal birth and pushed for about an hour. Is this normal or are babies supposed to pop out nice and pink.

We have not talked in a long time. Seems like yesterday that you and I were swapping web site updates and advice about how our partners were doing and how we as the non-birth parents where coping with our own thought and feelings. I distinctly remember the wonderful 1st picture of you and your new...
