OK, I know the obvious answer to this is: Birth A Baby! But I'm actually looking out for my best friend, who is due to deliver her first baby in just about a week (she's hoping to be late but that's another story!) So, me trying to be the dutiful friend and thinking of stuff that I could bring to...

Hi & de lurking I have had good advice from mkb in the past and lurked here for a while so here goes - sorry for the TMI My DS is now approx 3months old and during my labour I was catherterised and also got a 2nd degree tear which was stitched. I am still experiencing some discomfort when I...

(With many thanks to Mary S., original author!) Into the second half of pregnancy! So it's all swiftly downhill from here, eh? :) How's everyone feeling? Is your body telling you to start slowing down, taking it a little easier? How is sleeping going -- lots of pillows stuck into every nook? ...

Hey all, Matthew seems all congested. You can hear him breathing and he doesn't seem to want to feed as much. There's nothing visibly blocking his nostrils but he just sounds really congested. We are trying the "steam treatment" in the shower right now, hopefully it helps. Any advice will be...

to see gets elected,,,, anyone with me? Chloe is sound asleep...;-) I'll pay for it in the morning when she wants to play, she discovered that she can play her (play school) piano with her feet,,,,Oh is it cute..;-)) she's not playing now though...she just kicks and kicks and makes music...LOL....

Ok, after Matthew the non-sleeper I guess I earned my stripes and now my time is due. Jessica has slept for stretches of *6.5* hours at a time *in the bassinet* for the past two nights. She's never had a night time stretch less than 3 hours! I'm knocking on wood as I type this and will enjoy...

Just trying to figure out if Jessica is going to be a power puker or if it's related to her cold. Yes, it's a cold and not just newborn congestion. Her nose is actually dripping and it's going around the house. Since she started with the cold Friday, she has spit up *volumes* of her milk a few...

I am posting for the first time so I hope this is right. anyway my son will be one year old to the day when my daughter will be born. This was totally unexpected and I am not sure how to prepare him if I can at all. He is currently nine months old. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

This may sound odd, and probably no-one will know what I am talking = about, but why do I feel like it's not real ? With my DS I felt like I'd won the lottery and was over the moon and = smiling the full 9 months, with DD it was slightly different but I felt = content and happy. With this PG I...

newbie here; just testing! (BTW: just found out we are prenant this morning!!!)

as I've been letting you all know/complaining about I've been suffering quite a bit of cramping, well yesterday afternoon it got a lot worse, not quite sure how to describe it, but rather than being annoying it was all consuming, ds was really good, I put CBeebies on an curled up on the sofa and...

Almost 34, based on the U/S due date (which everyone BUT the perinatal center is using). Everything looks good. The blood pressure is slowly climbing, but there's no signs that its affecting the baby or the placenta, so we should be able to hang on a bit longer-hopefully, another 4 weeks or so....

Hi Everyone. I'm new to the area and need an OB/GYN recommendation. One Mom told me that she was really pleased with Advocates for Women's Health, but they don't take my insurance (United Healthcare.) Thank you so much in advance. Mig

My appointment yesterday was with my 2nd midwife, who I met for the first time. She was surprised at how low the baby is (her comment was that one good sneeze will let it out!). I hastened to reassure her that DD was carried low too, and didn't arrive early. I'm intrigued by what she wrote in my...

(With many thanks to Mary S., original author!) Congratulations to any early birds who know they're pregnant already! Is it a shock, or a much-awaited blessing? How many pregnancy tests did you have to take before you believed it? :) Any symptoms yet? For our TTC members, how is the journey...

Ok I have Xavier on Simalac with DHA/ARA for the most part but I am using up some Good Start Samples I recieved with DHA/ARA. He seems constipated on the Simalac but does ok on the Good Start.. By constipated i mean poops that are the consistancy of silly putty/ clay with Simalac.. I can tell...

Hi Everyone, I'm only 6 weeks pregnant, and already have a concern. Today I started feeling very light-headed, so I went and took my blood pressure (we have a machine at work). It read 90/56. Isn't it more common to have high blood pressure during pregnancy? Has anyone else experienced the...

I am having vivid ones just like when I was pregnant, weird ones.... I have been having the same type of dream VERY frequently about a male friend from my past who I haven't even SEEN since 1997. We were very good friends for a few years in my late teens/early 20's. We never dated and never...
