I am just about 15 weeks pregnant and was told that I have two fibroids - the same as when I was pg. with DS. Just like the first time, they are on top of the uterus - near belly button area - or so I thought. The past couple of nights I have felt what I think are the fibroids much lower - one...

When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, "Mommy, you are getting fat!"

OK, I seem to have waited out the blizzard (although the roads are still somewhat treacherous, at least there aren't too many idiots on them, and the visibility is fine now that the snow has tapered to light blowing powder instead of full-on heavy 2 inches an hour stuff). I am now 40 wks 5 days...

I am being a big baby, I know. I came down with a cold on Saturday evening. Still going strong today. (No fever, or at least none to speak of; so I'm pretty sure it's viral.) I haven't taken anything for it except some Tylenol, which hasn't done much. My nose is running like a faucet. I'm not...

Hello guys, Well, Catherine and I are doing well, and breastfeeding appears to be going better and better (although I do feel like a slave and/or a lunch box most of the time). I was wondering if any of you experienced this: I have developed a constant rash on my skin, in the areas of the upper...
