I'm right at 8 weeks now, and MS is starting to really kick in, I think :(. I haven't actually thrown up that often (2 times in the last week I think), but I just feel ill most days. Lately I've noticed that one of the things that makes me feel ill is water(!). I used to drink a lot of water all...

First let me apologise for not posting any earlier - it's been a traumatic few weeks but now we're sort of back on track, so for those of you interested., DW was due on the 4th July, problem was nobody had told our unborn baby this and apparently their diary was full the next week and a half. So...

X-No-Archive: yes Birthstory of Oscar Henry 11-05-05 9lb 4oz I’m what you call one of those 10th moon mamas. I always go to term and then some, always. I even carried twins to over 40 weeks. I just don’t do early. You can imagine my surprise then when at just after 38 weeks my waters

Argh- pet peeve! When it takes me forever to get the baby to sleep for a nap and then the doorbell rings, and it is someone uninvited who doesn't call before they come etc. And I'm like "Oh, this is not a good time..it took me FOREVER to get the baby to nap and she just fell asleep..." And they...

Amir and Henry, see below.... Attention: Dr. Uwe Reuter and the German vertebral artery dissection group: OBGYNs PERFORM "CHIROPRACTIC" ROUTINELY - BADLY... OBGYNs are closing birth canals up to 30% then pulling/wrenching babies' spines - sometimes pulling so hard they rip spinal nerves out of...

Hi guys, Did any of you feel the need to stop driving towards the end of your pregnancies? I'm 32 weeks now and feeling fine. My husband *hates* driving but does not want to pressure me into doing all the driving (no long distance necessary, all local driving) - I'm telling him that as long as I...

Well, Lann is going to be 2 months old on Friday (I can't believe it!) and I've decided it is time for me to "retire" into lurkerdom. I still really enjoy reading this group, but I can't quite manage to keep up with it lately. Lann keeps me quite busy and what energy remains I'm focusing on...

recently I've met several women who have had scheduled c-sections for their first babies, for fairly intangible reasons, such as not fancying an induction, or the baby might be too big, etc. if it were at a different hospital in a different place I wouldn't exactly feel thrilled, but at least it...

After reading a thread called "Rude questions" I thought it might be funny to list the funniest/rudest/most outrageous comments or advice we have gotten while pg. Since it seems like everyone from family to the checkout woman at the store has something to say :) Today I got a comment that I...

hi, My wife is due... well, any day now... and while I feel perfectly confident to time her contractions with my wris****ch, I wonder if there isn't something better out there. I had an idea for a timer that would log the length of, say, 10 contractions in a row, so that I could measure progress....

I KNOW some of these top babies have been born. Please send me the name (if you want) and date and I'll be glad to move you to the proud mama and papas category... Future Mamas (and Papas): Please help me to get these to the proper name/deliver date status September 28, 2004 Andrea NOW...

I am planning on breastfeeding DD when she is born in Nov. and I need some help figuring out how to do it! I bf DS for about two months and I really wish I could have kept it up a little longer. I weaned him because at the time it was really what I felt was best for me and him. Bfing (for the most...

another question for ya's.......... since i went off bcp when my husband and i started ttc-ing, my complexion started to get pimply. so i've been using a medicated facial soap with 2% salicylic acid, which really helps. i've been surfing a little and it seems like its ok (although obviously never...

The tenth month! Postpartum is definitely a part of pregnancy, so here you go: All our new moms, if you're still reading here and haven't migrated over to misc.kids.breastfeeding or misc.kids yet, how are you doing? Lochia tapering off, or telling you to take it a little easier? Are you getting...

I read the other day that when your child is able to eat solids, they should also drink from a cup. Morgan is going to be ready soon for solids, but has never used a bottle. Can you go directly to a sippy cup? Is that possible?? ~Carol Ann http://tinyurl.com/33uk7 ---Recent Pictures of Morgan...

Yesterday it became full-blown bleeding so I pretty much knew what today's u/s would show and indeed it did. I miscarried. If there is any good news out of this, I am passing everything out and won't need a D&C. Thanks for all of the kind words and in a couple of weeks we're back to...

Are they accurate? I know people who swear by them, and say they are virtually 100% accurate in predicting the gender of their baby. I looked at it for fun, but get confused when it has me figuring "lunar age". If I did it right then it would be correct for my first child. What do you all...

Hi all, I am a mom of 5 with a question... After the first 4 babies, once breastfeeding had ceased my periods returned like clockwork from around 14 days after the last breastfeed. But now it's been 6 or 7 weeks and still nothing. I find this weird as this is not normal for me. I am a little bit...
