I was reading the very long thread regarding unassisted childbirth and pain and it got me thinking.... When people say that the pain becomes unbearable, what do they mean exactly? At what point do you know the pain is unbearable? Does the pain become unbearable for the mother (ie. you pass...

What are your opinions? ~Carol Ann www.bestinatlanta.com/mybaby.html

Hi. As a first-time mom of an extremely intense high-needs baby, I am in need of advice from some more experienced moms. I like the sound of attachment parenting, and it makes sense to me, I just haven't been able to apply it totally in my daily routine. DH is adamant about not co-sleeping and I...

I am so frustrated. I posted a little bit about this on MKB but this is a call for help to both groups. MKP. We had Rachel checked for pyloric stenosis- she is ok and doesn't have that. So WHY, why, why is she projectile spitting-up- I can't call it a vomit- it just flies out of her mouth and...

Hello, this is a really embarrasing question, but here it goes. Im 37 weeks and for about 4 weeks now I have had a really foul odor discharge from my vaginal area. Its sticky and clear and I do wear a pad. It almost smells of urine but not exactly. I know that I could be leaking urine but its...

Well every birth and every delivery is going to be different. But for me, yes the second and third deliveries were much quicker and much easier. With my first, it was 19 hours from start to finish. With my second, it was three hours from start to finish with only about 15 minutes of pushing. With...

I saw the doc yesterday and she said that I was 80% effaced and fingertip dilated. I gather that its not exactly predictive of any certain time for delivery except that I've had lots of cervical discomfort and strong cramps on and off for the last two days. I'd say its getting closer...

So following Carol Ann's story over the last six weeks has had me reliving the early days with my daughter; the shellshock, the exhaustion, the inability to stop her crying at times, the six weeks sitting on the couch nursing, the 30 second showers, the mess.... I'm remembering all the stuff I'd...

This is geared toward Mom's who have experienced both Natural childbirth and childbirth after having an epidural. I've recently taken a preparation for childbirth and I think that I'd like to try to go all natural without the pain medication from an epidural, simply because the epidural itself...

I wanted to know if anyone has had a baby around October. I'm due October 23 and i wanted to know about taking the baby out in winter. My husband and I typically go out for walks with our dogs frequently in the winter. Our average temp is between 30-40. Has anyone had experience with taking...

Hello Everyone-- Yesterday I had my regular appointment with my OB (I am at about 38 weeks plus 3 days). As we were going about the appointment, she told me that she would induce once I am 10 days past my EDD. This didn't bother me TOO much, as 10 days is better than I expected from her...I...

OK, I already said in my posts recently that we're trying to shorten the baby names' list. A short background: we decided not to find out the baby's sex before its birth, so we are choosing both a name for a boy and a name for a girl. We live in Italy, so we chose the names that could be spelled...
