Some of you may remember that since dd was due on 4/10/04, I was thinking 4/4/04 would be a really cool date to be born. Well, I recently met a mom of twins born on 4/4/04! I commented that being twins on such a cool date, they must be pre-destined for something... Irene mom to Gwendolyn...

What types of boy names do you like? What do you think of Dalton vs Ashton? My wife and I are trying to name out son that will be born in December. I like family names of some kind and she is more "trendy". She named our daughter so I am prety much getting to name our son. Dalton was my...

I guess I'll just have to start posting a heck of a lot more so that Sophie can "get to know me" and make a prediction :) Elana Mom to Timmy 1/5/01 and Sam 8/28/02 EDD May 15, 2005

I was looking out eagerly for this month's installment of the Due Dates questions, but finally remembered that, of course, Mary S. normally posts them, and since she had her daughter last month she's probably had other things on her mind. ;-) Would anyone mind if I posted them (with credit to...

Hi everyone, I've been reading here for awhile and have posted a couple times. It is official - I'm pregnant! I'm about 7 weeks along and hoping for all the best. So far, I'm clear of morning sickness (all day) and am only experiencing the extreme fatigue you all told me to expect. I'll have...

My partner has been off Depo for 4 months and we are trying for #2. She was on the Depo for 6 Years, does anybody know how long it takes to conceive after Depo? Her normal cycle has not returned yet should she expect that to return before falling pregnant?

I was reading my chart at the doctor's office the other day while I waited for the timer to go off so that they could draw blood for my gestational diabetes test. (I was negative for gestational diabetes). One of the notes I ran across said that the placenta is anterior. Having heard that term...

Hi all, My wife and I are expecting our first baby. We don't know if it's going to be a boy or a girl but I guess it'll be one of the two ;-) At week 31 she thought her water broke and so we went into the hospital and got checked out and it was a false alarm. At the time they did an ultrasound...

At least, not on my side of the family. It feels so weird! One of my cousins just made her announcement. But it feels so weird (did I mention that yet?)! My baby is getting older! Waaaaah! ;-)

CHIROS AND FLU (AND MD BIRTH FELONIES)... Some doctors of chiropractic DO care about shortage of flu vaccines. Some doctors of chiropractic TAKE the flu vaccine. One chiropractor - Dr. Donald E. Harte - seems to suggest otherwise in a SF Chronicle article reproduced below.) Oddly, doctors of...

I was wondering exactly when you should start taking raspberry leaf tea ? I have seen different bits of information which recommend starting it anywhere from 30-36 weeks. Does anyone have any experience of this? Also are the raspberry leaf tablets any better/worse than the tea and should I take...

So, can anyone point me to some good resources with info about this? Max's newborn exam turned up nothing (sort of to my surprise because he clicked a lot before birth), but his 6 week exam turned up a clicky left side. We've been told to keep two diapers on him until our regular doc has a closer...

So, after those nine long months of waiting, your baby is finally here! Feeling shellshocked? How bad is the sleep deprivation? How amazing is it to get to know your little one at last after those months of carrying him or her? For those of you who are brand new moms, is the experience of...

Hi... I'm a business school student who's starting a new website that will help people trying to find local doctors. I'm trying to get feedback about the idea for my Feasibility class. Please, if you've got 5 minutes, take the survey...

Has anyone here tried this for colic? Is it safe for an infant? Any other suggestions?

I am 36w4d along. Went to the doc yesterday. He said during a "typical" appointment at this point, he would find some progression of the baby down into the pelvis, as well as some effacement, and I have neither (she is head down, though). He said it could mean a C section if she doesn't make...

fruit is always good, bananas especially and also some lucozade sport drinks are good for giving you energy. Helen the Midwife Madeline 17/5/04 one little angel 18/10/04 "sleepy67" wrote in message news:bGbdd.152330$a41.96908@pd7tw2no... Hello all,

Does anyone know where I can find a pattern to make ballet slippers? My husband is a vegetarian and we both try and avoid leather when possible. I just cannot find ballet slippers that are fully non-leather. I've found some that are canvas, but still have leather soles. However, I can't seem to...
