Hey guys, My wife delivered a 8lb 2oz baby boy on 11/1. This is after 14hrs of drug free labour. The only issue is it ended up in a C-section that I didn't quite agree with but that's for another thread. Mom and baby are doing well. He's keeping us up and nights and all but only to feed, so...

So last I left off we had to decide wether to induce yesterday because of IUGR concerns. Well, baby would have none of that so he decided to show up on his own. He is a little small at 5 ounds 11 ounces but hes also 10 days early. he is perfectly healthy and came out screaming his head off :...

How old are the kids? What's the latest developmental stage? What's your child's passion? What's your kid's favorite thing (book or possession)? Favorite thing about being a parent?

Yes, I really mean it. I've had a fever and chills and diarrhea for about 24 hours now. And body aches. AUGH. The runs are making me cramp, too. UGH. Cervix isn't changing and baby isn't anywhere near engaged, but UGH. And this just adds one more way in which I cannot get comfortable, not in any...

I think recently moses baskets were discussed, but of course I do not recollect all the discussion. We are still deciding an alternate sleeping arrangement in our room for the baby (aside from our bed) and think a moses basket would be handy. For those that used one, did your baby like it...

Hi, I am 28 weeks pregnant, had a BP reading of 120/96 at the Dr's office and was sent to the hospital for tests (blood test, bp every 10 minutes). While at the hospital the blood pressure dropped a little but still remained a little high. My Dr scheduled a 24 hour urine sample and had me come...

I'm considering using this as birth control due to the fact that it is non-hormonal. I know IUD's have been discussed here before and I did google a bit, but I was hoping to get some fresh opinions. Anyone use it? JennP.

is there a correlation with the size of the baby and the length of the labour, I'm thinking stage 1, rather than stage 2 as I guess the correlation in pushing is a bit clearer I ask because often people say "gosh that was quick for such a big baby" or similar, which doesn't make much sense to me....

Despite eating loads of fruit and beg daily, I only eat brown bread and = regular meals, I'm still constipated. I was up at 3am with terrible stomach cramps due to it. Any advice appreciated. --=20 Karen DS 10th Aug 1986 - VB - 9lb 13oz
