Hi, has anyone experienced the baby with jaundice after 3 weeks of life? My little Rachael was born 3 weeks ago and still looks jaundiced (with total bilirubin 278 and direct one 11). Our pedestrian has ruled out all severe problems that might be the cause and told us not to worry too much about...

I just got back from my 16 week appointment and everything looks great! My BP was 100/60 (normal for me), and I had only gained 2 pounds since last time. I decided to decline both the AFP and the CF tests. I decided they would just cause too much added stress for me. The doctor measured my...

Hello everyone! First, I would like to say that I have lurked here off and on for a little while, but have never posted since it, uh, wasn't *time* yet, if you know what I mean. ;-) Anyway, I think that the time has finally come to join the club. Two Clear Blue Easy tests (in Canada) have said...

Why would someone ask for *honest* opinions about a name then get offended when people say they don't like it??? Why ask? Lol. Didn't happen here, it's my lovely only reply if you're going to say "OMG meee tooo" July due date group - ugh! Sorry, just had to get that out. Sophie #4 due 7/18/04

Hello all... Well, yesterday, I had my 36 week appointment at the hospital. I had to wait over 1.5 hours for them to see due to the incompetence of one of the receptionists, and another had to page a doctor to see me. But, anyway... My appointment went fine. My BP was normal. My urine was...

I am having sons circumcision tomorrow. I had one other question. They do not use pain killer because of swelling, is there something that the doc can use that will not swell. I heard of a cream that they can put on to minimize pain. Also, why is it best practice to NOT do circumcision. I...

Mom and I had made good time on our drive from Silicon Valley to the Sierra, and had arrived at the secluded campground just on the California side of Lake Tahoe with plenty of daylight left. Our tent was up and our sleeping bags were rolled out, our cooking gear and our food supplies were squared...

Does anyone know if having a stomach bug could prevent implantation or harm embryo? I'm thinking that because implantation stage is down to hormones it shouldn't be affected Thanks Ruth

I had my monthly appointment today at 14w2d, and the heartbeat was around 160. I have heard people talking about what various rates mean in terms of boy/girl, but I guess I missed the main information. Is the rate higher for a boy or for a girl? Personally, I don't feel I have a preference for...

I have thought of a few more questions of things to come in pregnancy that I am wondering about. First, people complain of having to urinate more frequently and therefore not sleeping well- having to get up so often during the night. When does frequency of urination start to become a bother/side...

This is posted to misc kids and mkp. Hello, I am new here. I am 30 weeks pregnant and in need of some opinions/support. I am VERY happy to be pregnant, but many terrible things have happened in my life (death in family, loss of hubby's job, etc) since I have been pregnant. I got very depressed...
