Ugh! I just found out a friend from out of town who is pregnant with twin boys and due in April, was put in the hospital recently and will have to stay there until she gives birth! All I know is, she was having contractions now. Her twins weight 2 pounds each currently. Anyway I...

So at my appointment today, I asked my doctor what my options for medicinal pain relief during labour were. He told me: 1. Epidural (which I've had) 2. Demerol (which he didn't recommend) 3. Fentanyl (which he said is pretty good but I'd need an intervenous for) Any thoughts about the third...

Well, Lann is going to be 2 months old on Friday (I can't believe it!) and I've decided it is time for me to "retire" into lurkerdom. I still really enjoy reading this group, but I can't quite manage to keep up with it lately. Lann keeps me quite busy and what energy remains I'm focusing on...

Okay, the questions from me are going to start coming in more and more now that the baby is nearly there (due in mid-February)! I am interested in using a baby carrier like the Baby Bjorn as much as possible, and was wondering realistically how much I'll need a stroller and how soon. I find the...

Are they accurate? I know people who swear by them, and say they are virtually 100% accurate in predicting the gender of their baby. I looked at it for fun, but get confused when it has me figuring "lunar age". If I did it right then it would be correct for my first child. What do you all...

another question for ya's.......... since i went off bcp when my husband and i started ttc-ing, my complexion started to get pimply. so i've been using a medicated facial soap with 2% salicylic acid, which really helps. i've been surfing a little and it seems like its ok (although obviously never...

I am planning on breastfeeding DD when she is born in Nov. and I need some help figuring out how to do it! I bf DS for about two months and I really wish I could have kept it up a little longer. I weaned him because at the time it was really what I felt was best for me and him. Bfing (for the most...

I read the other day that when your child is able to eat solids, they should also drink from a cup. Morgan is going to be ready soon for solids, but has never used a bottle. Can you go directly to a sippy cup? Is that possible?? ~Carol Ann http://tinyurl.com/33uk7 ---Recent Pictures of Morgan...

Hello everyone, I am 38 weeks!!! and started having contractions but still very irregular ones, 20- 25 min apart. What I want to know from your experience is that how to tell if you are dilating or not. I had my weekly check-up yesterday but she didn't check me internally. But tonight I am...

Yesterday it became full-blown bleeding so I pretty much knew what today's u/s would show and indeed it did. I miscarried. If there is any good news out of this, I am passing everything out and won't need a D&C. Thanks for all of the kind words and in a couple of weeks we're back to...

EFFORTLESS SQUATTING: For most adult humans on the planet effortless squatting is an activity of daily living/ADL. For most Westerners (except children) it's not. Is it possible to rehabilitate effortless squatting once lost? PREGNANT WOMEN: See the squatting-related BIRTH EMERGENCY in PS1...

How dangerous would it really be for me to cover up the grey in my hair right now? I'm 31 weeks pregnant and what I use is the Clairol Natural Instincts (it's Level 2 and supposedly washes out in about 24 shampoos.). It's bad enough being pregnant and swollen without having yucky roots too (not...

I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow and we're having our ultrasound. I know deep down that everything is fine, but I am sooo nervous. Hopefully I get a good report and even the gender as a bonus! -- JennP. mom to Matthew 10/11/00 EDD #2 10/24/04 remove "no........spam" to reply

Morgan is nearly 7 months old. I swear I try to read to her every day (2 times). We have a few Dr. Seuss books and a few Nursery Rhyme books and the Einstein plastic book about Mimi. What is the proper procedure for reading? Morgan wants to grab the book and eat it. I keep telling her, "Books...

About 40 percent of infants watch TV About 40 percent of infants watch TV, DVDs or videos before they are 3 months old, according to new research. Frederick Zimmerman, the lead author of the study, said watching the tube takes time away from playing with an adult or imaginative toys such as...
