They never really bothered me when I was pregnant with DS. If I had them, I must have missed most of them. But since a few days I have quite a lot, and I'm getting slowly worried. I will call my OB/GYN later today (when I have some privacy in the office), but in the mean time I was curious: did any...

Has anyone had an early scan around 7 weeks and not been able to see anything and then gone on to have a healthy pregnancy? Thanks R

I had the midwife interview today and it went fabulously. :-D I am now going to be giving birth in the birth center with the wonderful (SO NICE!) midwife instead of in a hospital with the doctor. The birth center was very nice and comfortable feeling. She went over the cord clamping & cutting -...

Does anyone know what the maximum temperature for a bath should be while you're pregnant and at what stage of pregnancy you should start being concerned about it? I know some people have said if you start feeling faint it's too hot but at what temperature does a bath stop being classified as warm...

Hi, my wife has been breastfeeding our little one for about five months with no problems with her supply, but today her milk stopped flowing (actually, it's just a trickle). We don't see any major changes that would have caused this. Might the milk start flowing again? Is there anything we...

During my first pregnancy (8 years ago) I wore all my same clothes until about 4 months. I just found out I was pregnant a couple days ago, so I'm only about 4 weeks. I haven't really gained any weight, but my belly/abdomen are so much bigger, there's no way I can fit into my pants already. This...

Had a doctors appointment today and it went pretty good, except for the exceptionally long wiating period. I am 3 cm dialated and pretty thinned out (not sure of the number she said). She also said baby is down pretty far and is ready to come out. My platelets were down to 61 which is the lowest...

For all that I was frustrated by the way my preliminary labor signs vanished last Sunday, it does seem like there's been good progress: at today's visit I was 3cm dilated (!!!) and 60% effaced, and the baby has moved down to -1 station. (No wonder I'm feeling so much pelvic pressure when she...

I'm not subbed to mkb, and a poster at alt.mothers is asking if Buscopan is safe for breastfeeding... Thanks! Nan

tongue in cheek, and no offense intended Breastmilk: It's got IMMUNIZATIONS! Ladies: get off your sacrums to deliver! Roll on your side, squat, get on all fours to allow your pelvis to open up to 30% more. Do not lie flat on your backs or in a 'partial sitting position'. It's dangerous for...

Middle of last night, turned over, and whammo! Cramps in both calves! My left leg was so bad I had to call to DH for help -- I just couldn't straighten it at all! I've had so few cramps this pregnancy I thought I'd miss out altogether... Anyone got any remedies (apart from stretching with the...

i gather that lying on your back isn't so great for the baby, but is lying on your stomach also a bad thing for the kid?

CHIROPRACTIC FOR BABIES... After a traumatic birth, GENTLE spinal manipulation has been reported (by both medical and chiropractic doctors) to have a beneficial effect. The German physician Beidermann used spinal adjusting to treat 135 babies referred to him by a pediatric...

I'm an avid fitness person, :). I love to excercise. I weight lift which consists of the following: Day 1: Train chest, triceps and shoulders Day 2: Train biceps, back and neck Day 3: Train Legs (includes all) and abs Repeat so I hit body parts twice a week. On top of that I do cardio at least...

I have read a lot of posts stating the risks of anti-depressants, how anti-depressants are the cause of tragedies like school shootings, how anti-depressants taken by nursing mothers cause withdrawl symptoms in babies, and I feel like I need to put in my 2cents. I have struggled with depression my...

Today DS and I were driving to see my grandmother. DS was quiet for a while in the back seat, and then said: "Mommy, if this baby dies, can we get another one and can it be a girl?" When we found out that Scheherazade wasn't going to make it, DH and I came home to DS and MIL. DS greeted me at the...
