Hi all, I am a mom of 5 with a question... After the first 4 babies, once breastfeeding had ceased my periods returned like clockwork from around 14 days after the last breastfeed. But now it's been 6 or 7 weeks and still nothing. I find this weird as this is not normal for me. I am a little bit...

We seem to have acquired a ton of all of these things at our showers this weekend and I'm thinking it's over kill. Everyone says "you need so much" , but *how* much? AT least without having to do laundry every day?

Has anyone had an irritable uterus? My doctor told me that my uterus was irritable, not sure if that's the same thing. What was it like for you? My contractions were coming every two minutes, and Procardia has brought them to a hault for now. They felt like my uterus was getting very...

I'm so tickled by this... it's 18 inches wide by 48 inches long, with 1 foot of that being shelf/bedside table space. It will sit flush with the bed, and the firm foam mattress with baby vinyl cover (Mom *made* the mattress)fits the space so snugly that it doesn't move even when the unit is tipped,...

I woke up this morning and said to myself "I feel warm". With that I took my temp and sure enough it was high (for me). Yesterday's temp was 97.2 and today's is 97.7. Usually a .5 jump is ovulation - but today is only Day 9. With kids 1, 2, and 3 ovulation wasn't till Day 21-23. Is this...

Dunno if I've left this too late, I'm 28 weeks now, but I'm wondering whether I should be thinking about hiring a doula after all. Or a birthing pool. Any ideas where I should start looking, please, to find either of these? I live in London. That's in the UK. -- Mogget

In the light of recent events, I've been doing some reading on progesterone deficiency and its relation to miscarriages. My findings so far seem to suggest that I've been having the wrong idea. I am wondering if there are any experts here that could point me to some additional literature or...

Hey all. If you have any advice or experience, I'd appreciate it if you shared. Last Saturday, when Hale was a day old, the ped noticed he made a funny sound when breathing in while he was crying. I can't remember the word the doctor used, but to me, the sound is like a "snort." He mentioned it...

I am looking to buy another vehicle for our family - and we can only afford a used one - probably 2002 - 2004. The car needs to fit a baby seat and two full-back booster seats in the rear. My current compact SUV doesn't quite do the job (my DD's Britax takes up half the back seat!). I'll be...

Hi everyone. I have been gone for a while. I came back and wrote a birth story a few weeks ago but in the middle my computer crashed and I lost it and I just didn't have the heart to redo it yet. I will post the long version soon but the short version is that Charlotte Amelia arrived on 5/20,...

DS (10 months) has started refusing to eat solids from a spoon, even his old favorites. I thought it was because he was not feeling well, but he seems to be feeling better and still is giving DH trouble while eating. I quit breastfeeding him early (4 months), so he drinks formula now. He doesn't...

Something just didn't sit right with me about the way Rachel's former pediatrician's office has done during this situation- not specifically that thwy refuse to allowe her back in for her flu shot (they also refuse to see her at all, NOT that I have tried to get her to go back- I mean, that's...

Last night is the first time I have ever seen something like this especially my own body. Lol! It was a bit startling. It even got my husband's attention, and he was unnerved too. Lol again. I was lying on the bed, and I rolled over flat on my back as I was getting up, and then I sat up from that...

Hi Guys well we've got reconnected to BT after trying the pay as you go broadband. That is a good way to go if you don't want monthly bills but it's slower and generally a pain in the butt and I couldnt get my faithful newsgroups so we decided to go back to BT. Well don't know where I was at...
