I really want to use henna hair dye, but I read somewhere that once it's on you can't get rid of it unless you grow it out. On another site it says it last 4-6 weeks! I am confused. I really like the idea of using a plant extract on my hair. Also is it safe to use when breastfeeding? Thanks for...

Today i'm 26 and am housebound with chicken pox! Kamron is such a lovely baby, now his CP has cleared he is sleeping back in his crib yippee! -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David 5 months 20lbs

I gave up breastfeeding my others when they were 7-12 months old. It was given up when they kept biting me. I vowed to try my best to get through this this time around, and even had a glimmer of hope when someone here mentioned their baby didn't bite. Not so lucky, Kamrons biting is getting...

I kept on putting Kam down as soon as he bit me, and it worked! I am so happy! Nursing is so wonderful right now, the way he breaks into a big beaming smile part way through a feed - so cute! -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David 5 months 20lbs

Kami is over the CP, but his face has some nasty loking scars. Will they fade? I am hoping so because he looks terrible. -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David 5 months 20lbs

Kamron is almost 9 months old now, and the urge to get pregnant again is strong! I think it's because my kids are all 18-22 months apart, so my fertile time has started. Anyone else got the bug yet? ;o) I often wonder if my biological clock ticks a little faster with early menopause running in...

I had a wisdom tooth removed under a local anaesthetic along with the tooth next to it. The wisdom tooth was really tough to pull out, the dentist said the roots were very long. I had it done on Thursday, and on Friday I felt much better, but today (Saturday) I feel awful. I have pain at the...

I have been on Zoloft a few months now. It worked right away and I felt great. But it has lost it's effectiveness. I am on 50mg, do I need a higher dose? Also for a few nights now after taking my Zoloft tablet, I have been in agony with waves of heartburn type pain, but no acid came up. The pain...

Monday at 8 pm ITV1 (In the UK), apparently every woman to be should watch this. They were saying that toxins in breastmilk can make your baby grow slowly. I will be watching out of interest. Andrea mom of 5.

After 9 or more positive pregnancy tests, followed by negative tests with no bleeding but pain, my dr sent me for my u/s, but when I got there I was told as my tests were negative that they wouldn't scan me unless their test was positive! That's why I was there! I was so angry, as they had done a...

Poor Kami came out in spots on Wednesday, and Thursday he was covered. He had been happy as anything, but last night was awful. He cried all night and had a fever, the paracetamol and flannels didn't cool him. He is now fast asleep on his daddy, and is cool. I wasn't worried about chicken pox...

Kamron broke out in lots of tiny red/purple spot on his leg. A couple of the looked like bigger bruises. I did the tumbler test (pressed a glass against the spots) and they did not disappear. I rushed up to my doctors surgery, and saw the worst Dr they have, who is well know for misdiagnosis. He...

Turns out despite my efforts the dreaded postnatal depression is back. I really though I wasn't going to get it this time. My health visitor asked lots of questions and I do have it again. I knew deep down inside, but I was ignoring it. I have never treated PND with meds before, and I won't, just...

Oh Anita it must be hard. My munchie man is 11 weeks old, and leaving him would be hard for me if I had to. I think you are very brave, but it's great that you are doing this for you and your baby. If you think about the situation you have an advantage, the time that you do spend will be very high...

That has got to be the biggest waste of time in my life! I asked my Dr for meds and he was writing me a prescription for Fluoxatine, when I told him I was breastfeeding. After looking in his book the manufacturers note says that babies can suffer respiritory distress when taking this...

I found an article with the names of the participating UK hospitals. http://tinyurl.com/ry7o I am going to contact them myself. It mentions women being put off by the HIV screening, but they test for that during pregnancy anyway, so moms would already know. -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition...

Today my son age 7 was finally diagnosed with autism, it was thought to be tourettes at first but it's autism. I feel mixed up inside, on one hand we are glad we finally know, but I worry about the future. Has anyone here any experiences to share? -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David.

Kam has his first tooth peeking out now! This is strange as the other kids didnt get teeth till much later. Ok now we need to learn how to get through breastfeeding with teeth! -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David.

Hi all, I have been rather busy, Kami has got Chicken-pox! Also yesterday I did a clear blue pregnancy test and got a positive result. It's one of those tests with the cross. The pregnancy line was lighter, and the leaflet says that's ok. However, I have no idea how far I would be now, I know i'm...
