This is my fifth migraine since getting pregnant. It started on Saturday, I controlled it with laying in the dark in silence, and the help of two Motrin IB and an ice pack on my forehead. I cold move about almost normally on Sunday, but It didn't really leave me, and the headache is still very...

I just had a phone call from one of my swimming class buddies: she gave birth to a healthy boy in the morning of Oct. 13. I will not relate her whole birth story, as she did not get in too much details, but one thing stuck to my mind, and to hers: she was in the hospital for 23 hours. During all...

I know I scared the living daylights out of some of you a while ago, but this time it's for real. I am facing a fourth m/c. All was very well in the first 7 weeks.

If so, I was wondering if it hurt during labor and delivery? A friend delivered Thursday (12:03) a beautiful baby girl (8lbs, 20"). She said it was extremely painful. I had an emergency cesarean and my epidural had a leak which caused me to feel quite a bit. I thought the epidural took away the...

I followed the Jury Duty thread with a great deal of interest. I've been called for Jury Duty many times so far, and have never served due to hardship reasons. I was called once in NJ during the 5 years I lived there, and my daughter was an infant at the time, and refused the bottle - so I...

We just moved to Minnesota, and Kivi needs a new winter coat. I'm trying to figure out if I should buy the matching snow pants/bibs or not. My experience living in Missouri and New Jersey, is that snowpants get used 2 or 3 times per year, and are mostly a waste of money. Your thoughts? Cathy...
