Hello, Anyone know if this could be a problem during birth? I went to a chiropractor last summer for pain in my lower back and he told me I had a 6th lumbar vertebrae, (I guess meaning 2 tailbones) and he said it could cause more pain during pregnancy for some and my doctor tells me not to worry....

I'm planning on starting to take evening primrose oil at the end of this week when I hit 36 weeks. I just noticed that my bottle from last pregnancy expired in August. For those who know about such things -- does that mean they *really* expired, or that they'll expire six months after that, or...

I thought this one and the other links on mothering were good. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6959880/site/newsweek/?GT1=6190 -- Sue (mom to three girls)

A woman who lives just outside of my town recently had a home birth and lost her baby. I feel so sad for her but unfortunately she made some really bad decisions. She had a c-section with her first pregnancy and her Doc informed her that this second baby was breech. For some reason she was...

Does such a thing as a recommendation engine for baby names exist? I'm trawling for baby name websites, and not finding such a thing (although I now know that the technique I'm looking for is called a "recommendation engine" ;-). I'm imagining a website along the lines of many movie and...

The mind boggles. I understand choosing not to breastfeed if you don't have proper supply and can't get it, if your baby isn't thriving, or you have to take medications to live which would go through the breastmilk and harm the baby, etc... but some of the reasons I've heard lately just floor...

Ok, DH wants to plan a small vacation with his 2 daughters,,,7 and 14,,,,, he wants to take them to a huge ( FUN ) water park in Erie, then to Canada....to see the falls, and to the beach...etc. from what I understand you should'nt take a baby out of the country till they have x amount of...

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and recently have had 2 ultrasounds. During the first US, the radiologist noticed that the baby's stomach was full and asked me to come back to check it in a week. I went back a week later and the stomach was still full of amniotic fluid. She booked me in for another US...

I have had a weird soap-like taste in my mouth all day. At first I thought there was something wrong with the water at work but it hasn't gone away since I left work 5 hours ago. Eating dinner (chicken and veges), drinking orange juice and pigging out on gummy bears have not helped. I'm fine to...

Wifes now 36 weeks but baby is measuring up to 40 weeks already so it looks very large. Consultant has given us the choice :- 1. Elective C-section at 39 weeks. 2. Induce at 40 weeks. Option 1 seems OK but consultant highlighted the risks involved with any C-section.

Currently, Americas MDs are NOT behaving as physicians. Americas MDs are behaving as CRIMINALS, senselessly closing birth canals and gruesomely manipulating most babies' spines - among other obvious crimes... See Johns Hopkins breast/vagina/penis power! (How America can INSTANTLY save $200...

In case you were circumcised and don't agree with your parents' decision to have a go at you with sharp instruments (talk about social blind spots--think of all the milder forms of diddling with a boy's penis that would get someone locked away for a lloooong time), you may be interested to know...

to see gets elected,,,, anyone with me? Chloe is sound asleep...;-) I'll pay for it in the morning when she wants to play, she discovered that she can play her (play school) piano with her feet,,,,Oh is it cute..;-)) she's not playing now though...she just kicks and kicks and makes music...LOL....

Add this to another reason to try to limit unnecessary primary c-sections--apparently, a previous c-section increases the risk of stillbirth in subsequent pregnancies. Fortunately, while the increase is statistically significant, it is not huge (this study found an increase from 0.5 per 1000...

Don't know if there is anyone out there, but this is just a quick note to say we're scheduled for a c-section at 9am tomorrow morning. Eventually we consulted with an ob, who talked to many other people, pretty much all recommended c-section, our own thoughts were also drifting in that...

Last July, my son had Roseola - at least that's what the doctor diagnosed over the phone without ever seeing him. It looks like he has it again. The symptoms have been the same - high fever and irritibility for a day, then a red spotty rash that pops out after the fever breaks. The rash is...

Hi all, I am curious to see what sort of comments you all with more experience have. This isn't my question, this is stolen from another chat group for weddings. Thanks! "so here is the story! we are having a married couple in our wedding....a BM & GM ---we met at their wedding --I was a BM and...

I am 35 wks pregnant and planning to breastfeed and have told this only to people who have asked about it. Why do some people insist on making negative comments about it? I have had only a few people say "that's great" and more people go on and on about what an inconvenience it is for the...
