I'm only 50 pages in, but I have to recommend "What No One Tells the Mom" by Marg Stark. Her other book, "What No One Tells the Bride" basically saved the first year of my marriage, and this one is every bit as good. I wish I'd had it months ago. I've just had a very personal, and yet very HUGE...

Hello, I had my 20 weeks apointment with my midwife (well, more like 21, it's 20+6). I only gained 4 pounds since mid-December, urine sample is good. The baby wiggles like crazy, the heartbeat is loud, clear and regular, and my uterus is positionned at the "standard" height. Whatever that means, I...
