Being kind of nauseous, I don't feel like cooking a lot of smelly things, and in particular, all my 3 year old wants to eat is chicken. We've had this issue for a while, she eats lots of fresh fruits and will eat some cooked veggies like green beans, but for "main" dishes she only eats chicken...

I don't care what you read as to how you can help with the pain of childbirth there is nothing that you can do when your wife or girlfriend is in labour with the pain....I just found that out!

Hello everyone. Happy New Year. EDD 3/22/06 It's been a kinda stressful first day. My husband and I came to New York City to visit a friend and see a play on New Years.

"If your baby does not fall asleep on their backs you HAVE to put them that way anyway because you are the mom and they have to learn to sleep that way." The conversation ended with me saying "Xavier is fine on his tummy and I am not worried" Tori

I have been on such a rollercoaster and am now waiting for the Dr's office to open. I had a positive preg test on March 22. I have had some spotting, but what is interesting is that it only occurs when I have a BM. Of course that has been messed up because of the prenatel vitamins and I am...

Okay, I know that Emily Post looks down on baby registries - but this is the first grandchild on both sides of the family so I am pretty much being asked to register somewhere because the grandmothers are really excited and want to shop (I know we are very lucky) - we also have a ton of cousins...

I have a call in to my OB, but they often take hours to respond. I'm hoping someone out here can help me. I do not feel quite right today. I'm quite dizzy and light-headed, kind of like I've had way too much to drink (have to concentrate really hard on just one thing, "fuzzy" hearing, in addition...

No matter how much time I spend with my DD she is very jealous of DS. Her temper tantrums have increased and I'm not sure what to do anymore. I have tried time outs and other methods to get her to listen to me. This only happens with me. If my DH tells her to do something she does it right...

Well, where to start here... I guess I'll just say that my fiance and I have been together now for 3 years. During this time, her father has proven time and again that he doesn't really care for me. For the most part, he's tolorated me, in his defense... But every chance he gets, he tries to...

Hi guys, My girlfriend and I had a very strange day today. We are very anxious about her pregnancy as she was having some stomach cramps and mild discharge. We were referred by her doctor for an ultrasound where we were told the baby appeared to be only 3.2mm and around 5 1/2 to 6 weeks even...

well, I'm officially 39wks now. We all here understand that while I *could* have the baby today, chances are it'll be after my due date. I'm actually pretty calm about the whole thing so far (for me) and am being almost-patient. Problem is, my family is literally frothing at the mouth for me to...

Hi Guys Remember me telling you a little while ago that I was having irregular spotting whilst on the depo injection, well they were actually regular because it lasted most of the 12 weeks daily. Well my doctor then took me off that and tried me on the pill which was magic in one aspect that...

I just vomited twice, and rather violently. I do have a cold (although normally I don't throw up when I have one), but I am also quite close to my due date (Monday - October 6th). I was just wondering if the vomiting could be the sign the labour is approaching? My last meal has been around 4 pm; I...

I have a suspicion that I might be pregnant but I first wanted some advice on whether I am reading my cycle wrong. I have a mostly regular 28 day cycle where my period starts on a Sunday. In the last year or so, I have only been late twice (by 2 days max), and the next month my cycle would start...

I stopped taking the pill after 19 years and amazingly my cycle returned and has been regular for several months. We are trying for a baby but yesterday it was 8 days since my last period, I got stomach cramp and had bleeding for about an hour. This has now just become brownish and very...
