I got my yoga/birthing ball. We inflated it and I've been bouncing around on it for the last couple of hours. I'm sitting on it as I type. It's great! I love it. Recently the baby has been very active in the evenings, and just sitting on the couch has been torture because he tends to scrape his...

Has anyone heard of a device called the "Epi-no"? It is supposed to stretch the perineum so one is less likely to need an episiotomy or to tear. My sister's OB is trying to convince her she needs one, but it kinds of sounds suspicious to me. I had always thought that it's more important to...

We had to take my son to the emergency room about a week and a half ago because he was complaining that his stomach hurt and he was moaning, groaning, and almost screaming. They did x-rays and bloodwork but didnt find anything. He has repeated this 3 or 4 times since then (the latest being...
