Today I had a sonogram, as part of a screening for birth defects -- I'm at 11 weeks. Everything looked fine EXCEPT for, possibly, maybe, "some fluid around the heart." Of course the doctor doing the sonogram wouldn't tell me what that means -- it's something I have to ask my regular doctor about,...

Hi all, In the birth prep class, they said the lochia would go from red to pink to yellow to white. Mine went from red to brown, more like a period. Is this normal? I have my postpartum checkup next week, but I'm too curious for that. I have no idea how to google this, either. Thanks, in...

I want my 8 yr old daughter present for the birth of her little sister. I think this will be a very special time for me, her, and my husband. My husband is my 8 yr old's step dad, and there have been some feelings of anxiety from her feeling left out or worried that she wouldn't be...

My daughter - 9 months old still doesnot have a lot of hair on her head. The hair amount is almost same as she was born with and its quite thin and sparse. Can parents let us know any remedy for this? When do most kids get dense hair growth in their head? Thansk in advance.

Someone gave us a very small child's pillow with a pretty embroidered pillow case when Taylor was born. It's the size of an airline pillow, and pretty flat. I put it in her crib around 15 months. At that age, they are strong enough to move themselves out of the way, and I don't think suffocation...

I have had not so good experiences when giving birth. This is our last baby now, due in 5 weeks. Have you tried HypnoBirthing? I am wondering if that is something good, or have you any other suggestions? I cope well during labour then lose it when dilated. Afterwards I have no interest in holding...

My OB wants me to have this done before I go in for my next exam. I am worried about how my body will react, because I have spent the last 3 years eating a relatively low carb diet. I just don't eat simple carbs very much anymore. Not atkins or anything drastic, but I don't drink sodas or...

Hi, My dw was advised by the midwife that our baby is currently in posterior position. From what she said and from what I have read, posterior birth tends to be a more painful experience. The midwife advised that dw should rock from side to side, I have read some websites, the following is...

Well, it's 9/12, and I haven't gone into labor on my own. So this morning the instructions were to wait for the hospital to call to say when to come in. They did, at 6:20am. We're to be there at 8! It seems strange to me to labor during the day, I have to say, but having a full (more or less)...
