I want to use cloth diapers when my baby arrives in April and I want to start comparing prices of different suppliers. Does anyone have any suggestions? places that you are happy with? places that are more economical than others? I'm interested in US and UK sites since I'll be going home (new...

What does that mean, and what affect does it have on the pregnancy/labor? I was told that I have it... so Im just curious. Im trying to do a google on it, but cant find anything that will help me. Thanks! Sara 38 wks

I've finally finished writing Aamon's full birth story. Sorry for the length. I was scheduled to be "induced" at 6:00 am on October 1st. My doctor was very confident that we would not have to use any chemical form of induction and that breaking my water should be enough to get me going. It felt...

Hi All, Tomorrow, I'll be 34 weeks pregnant, and the baby is still lying with the head pointing upwards. I'm sure there is an English word for that position, but I don't know it, sorry! Has any of you ever had the experience that the baby still turned in the right position after 34 weeks, or does...

I'm just wondering if this is "normal". I don't think it's bad - just wierd. Yesterday I didn't really show at all. This morning I woke up with a sore belly, and I've been popping out all day long. However - it feels like my baby has come pre-equipped witha crowbar to make more room in there. All...

I posted before in a panic because one night I woke up at 2am with my left foot in severe pain and I was unable to walk on it. 3 days later it gradually went away though it still feels sore sometimes. It was weird and never happened before until this pregnancy. Well, last night I suddenly- within...

You stupid mother ****er, hope your pecker rots and falls off then you die a horrable ****ing death you dirty son of a bitch! Do the world a favor now by cutting of your dick, shoving it up your ass, and hang yourself you stupid ****. LOL......Very well said!

Well, I'm still unable to stomach my old prenatal vitamins (nausea associations), so I'm going back to Flintstones. I know the important one is folic acid, and 800 mcg is the correct dose, which is two Flintstones' worth. Is there anything I can overdose on by taking two regular (albeit...

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...

Hello All, This is my first post here, and this is my first (hopefully) pregnancy. My period was due on the 7th. I am very regular so when I was late, I used the EPT and it came out positive. On 10th I went to clinic to get urine test done. It came out inconclusive :( So I am still hoping that I...

Not sure if you remember me but i was here 2 yrs ago:) My name is Cindy SAHM. DH is Jay and we have 2 daughters 10 & 12 and a 15 month old son.

Hi, I understand that during pregnant its better if we dont go for x-ray at the dentist, and avoid the filling as well. But, today my dentist told me that I can have the teeth filling. Is there anyone know what type of filling safe for us? I really worry if this will affect my baby. The dentist...

While this is an interesting question, I think you are asking in the wrong places. First of all, the pregnancy newsgroup is primarily frequented by those who are pregnant, and therefore not yet (or no longer) feeding an infant. And the breastfeeding newsgroup has very, very few readers who are...

I'm having more little aches and pains- will have my 4 month appointment the first week in December. Today, though, the pain is a little more than nagging, it's annoying. I am hurting *exactly* where I hurt before pregnancy from endometriosis...I have some endometriosis on my lower left side above...

Well, I may as well jump in with my own naming uncertainty here... We already have a girl name picked out, but since we have a shy baby this time around, we don't know if we also need a boy name. And, that's the one we're having problems with. We have a few ideas, but can't decide. (I suspect...

Would you say that there is a trendy or cultural naming pattern in your part of the world? In Sweden people normally give their children two or three names. The first one would be any name really, and then the seccond and third would be inherited names like you'd be named after your grandparent...

Ok here is my issue. Over four years ago my husband and I decided on Nicholas James for a boy's name. Now I recently changed jobs and there is a man in my group who's wife is due 5 months before me and they have also selected the name Nicholas. Is there any reason for me to not use the name?

Last night, a friend of mine told me that Catholic hospitals have the highest c-section rates. I have never heard this before and wondered if it was true, and if so, why. Anyone else heard this? I cannot imagine why a Catholic hospital would have a higher c-section rates than municipal ones. She...

I did the dreaded GTT first, and since there wasn't a policy stating I had to sit for the hour, I went for a walk. I got to meet a different midwife and we talked over some issues, like I didn't know Kaiser policy on cord clamping. I turns out they are willing to wait until it stops pulsing, or...
