Hey everyone, I just wanted to share with you that after trying to find maternity insurance coverage for my wife, I found a great plan that anybody trying to plan a pregnancy should look at. Its a plan where my wife can get money for both maternity leave, hospitalization, doctors visits and...

I have been married for 8 months. We had intercourse from first day after marriage itself. For first 5 months we used condoms so that we didn't want to concieve. But for the past 3 months we do with out any protectives. We are thinking to concieve. As we know the chances to concieve are more if we...

Ok, DH wants to plan a small vacation with his 2 daughters,,,7 and 14,,,,, he wants to take them to a huge ( FUN ) water park in Erie, then to Canada....to see the falls, and to the beach...etc. from what I understand you should'nt take a baby out of the country till they have x amount of...

Not sure what to do. My 6 week post-partum check-up involves a pap but I'm still "bleeding". I'm really not sure what to call what is going on. I'm thinking of calling and canceling the appointment cos I don't think a pap is accurate if you're still "bleeding". Is that right? I also am on my...

Hello all, Let me start by saying that this is a great newsgroup. Now, my question. I'm 16 weeks pregnant. I spend all night drinking and peeing. I probably get up to go to the bathroom about 6-8 times a night. Consequently I'm exhusted all day long. I know that frequent urination is a...

I've never felt one of those before. How cool! It was just like people describe -- a tightening. It felt like a balloon was expanding inside my uterus (I know it was the uterus contracting, but it felt like the baby was pushing outward in all directions at once). Not painful at all, just...

This isn't exactly easy for me to say, but I feel like I have to. I'm 16 and I just found out what really happened to me. I was circumcised, and yeah, my parents never bothered to tell me that or tell me why they had it done, and I don't feel comfortable asking them. Thanks to the internet I got...

Hi all, We are on our second baby and never took the pre-natal birthing classes. We got the tapes (don't recommend them), only because we couldn't afford the classes. We want to take them with this one, well I want to take them.. I was wondering when we should sign up for the classes. This...

while watching what you are writing here i tried to find something interesting, bat instead i got bored to tears. wake up people, tou are not in the dark ages anymore, time to think!!! 99%of all the posts i read were of lame stupidity ( I hope the ladies aren't offended, nobody expects any better...

Will have another baby? If so, when would you like to TTC? I would LOVE to have just one more...but my husband went and had a vasectomy 5 weeks after she was born,,he made the appointment, with-in days of her birth,,,,lol.....i'd say he does not want anymore kids..lol..lol...hhahahaha,,,really...

I think trying to be the emotionally strong one for my family has taken its toll on me. I've suffered from depression before, and I've noticed the change in me - extreme tiredness, lack of appetite - not helpful when breastfeeding, anxiety, suspicious of everyone and their intent,...

I actually got mildly attacked by one today (just two scratches and I got stepped on lots and lots). For some reason, where I live, people keep behaving as though they live in the country, so they let their dogs run loose. Well, very often, we have to fight off these other dogs because they come...

Announcing Micaela Paige Born 20th August 2004 at 3:51pm weighing 6lbs 12 1/4oz Birth story sometime later, FAR too involved with my new sweet angel :-) Wow, forgot how a new baby makes your heart swell, I am absolutely beside myself with love for her. Also forgot the sheer panic with the 24/7...

I just finished reading Healthy Sleep Habits, Healthy Child. It states to never wake a sleeping baby. I could understand not doing that during the night, but what about arousing them during the day from their naps? I usually wake mine up from her naps so I could feed her and keep her on a good...

Don't automatically go for the tall handsome type. Remember, the baby follows the size of the father to some extent. If you're a twiggy and he's King Kong, it won't be easy. Don't rule out the small guys when looking for love. Once you think you might be serious for a guy, offer to buy him a hat...

Help (again) please: At the risk of just getting a string of replies from Todd, and admitting that I did NOT understand Larry's post about the rhombus of Michaelis very well (I guess that means I indeed have a problem understanding English, according to the post), what birthing position should I...

A Jordanian woman gave birth on a flight from Amsterdam to Chicago yesterday. When it became apparent that she was going to have the baby, they diverted the flight to St. John's, Newfoundland, which is why the story is on CBC. I guess this is why they don't like you to fly late in the...

Hi, Can someone tell me the risks associated with taking a short haul flight (2-3 hours) during the second trimester (at 24 weeks)? Any advice would be appreciated :-) Regards, sqm89805.
