My sister just had a baby girl and got her ears pierced at the hospital?? I think it is cute to put little pink bows in their hair and stuff like that. But isn't getting their ears pierced right out of the womb a bit out there. What do you all think?? randy

Well, I guess I have been disappointed of late at the lack of compassionate, honest replies to my postings. I've learned a lot over the past several months from this newsgroup, but have seen amazing cliqueism (if such a word exists). Guess I don't really need to be a part of that anymore. To...

Hi i just wanted to thank people for their help with my "getting pregnant" problem. Your advice was much helpful and now i am taking folic acid and am doing everything u told me to. Another question for you though... Does everyone have morning sickness or do some people just feel nauseous in the...

That is sick!!! If child services were to find out the kid would be taken and she could possibly be charged for sexual assault because that is pretty much what it is. The age you are suppose to have stopped by is 2 years and no later. What a sick person!!! Shannon due sept 12

Men have ticking of 'biological clock' too Researchers at Bristol and Brunel Universities have found that the older a man is, the longer it may take his partner to conceive, irrespective of her age. The study shows that the odds on conceiving in up to six months of trying decrease by 2% for every...

I was prescribed iron tablets at last week's appt and took them everyday until Sunday. I had to stop as I was getting constipated (sorry tmi) and starting to get piles (even more tmi!!). I had another appt and told my dr that I don't want to take them anymore so she told me that I will get very...

I am curious. I was just looking at the belly pix from Em, and I noticed she is/was a lot bigger than me at 19 weeks. I am just that now and I can still hide my belly. The sono doc didnt think I was pregnant and was shocked to see the baby was the correct size, he said the size was right...

I haven't seen this in any of the other posts on the 1-hour glucose test, but it's possible that I've missed it - I've been reading this group obsessively, but I guess that doesn't translate to thoroughly :^). Anyway....I went in for my 1-hr glucose test this morning, prepared for the awful syrupy...

Hi all, I am TTC my first, and want to get info on the miscarriage rate by week of pregnancy. I'm visual, so would prefer a graph with miscarriage rate on the vertical, time of preg on horizontal. For example, I know that very early pregnancies have a high rate of miscarriage and then it...

I am expecting my first child and my mother and two sisters are making a group effort to organize a baby shower for me that will be held at my home. I am sure that my mother-in-law will also want to contribute to the effort of the shower. I am wondering what is the best way to acknowledge (or...

Hi all, Awhile back I posted a question about how likely it was for a 22-week placenta that was 1.2 cm from the cervical os to move up before delivery. People mostly seemed to think I had a good shot of it moving, and I decided that barring any sudden bleeding, I would go about my normal business...

Hello all... DH are in the very early stages of coming up with names. We have a small list that we both like. I was wondering if people could tell me what you think of the names. Also are there any assocaitions that come to mind with the name. Boys: Emerson Magnus

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,...

Cheryl S. Mom to Julie, 2 yr., 3 mo. And a boy, EDD 4.Sept Wow Cheryl, I can't believe you had the energy to type all of that :) Too bad the doc was not as great as your midwife, not helping an 8 month preg woman up from the table is certainly not going to get any points with me!

I am going through the questions myself. I am having triplets and have had to decide how we wanted to do the stroller bit. The triplet strollers all start around $5-600 and they are big, heavy and unwieldy. It was suggested to us to use a single and a double stroller, because the majority of...
