PREGNANT WOMEN: Help protect your VAGINA by helping to protect your BABY'S BRAIN at birth... Sounds crazy but...

Hello, My wife and I (and the one on its way) need your help. The first child for my wife and I was born under the care of midwives. And the cost was covered by insurance. And it was simple and direct and efficient and cheap. Since then, our insurance company dropped UCSD Health Care...

Hope Matthew's had, and Theo has a lovely day :) -- Rob "Carpe Chocolate"

I am an extremely impatient person, so the fact that DH and I have not come up with more than one possible name for our little DD is getting to be a big frustration for me. DD#2 is due in about six weeks, so I know we still have time, but again, I am very impatient. So I am hoping to get a few...

Oh Stephanie, what a terrible situation. I'm so sorry for your dilemma. My only advice is that you need to do whats best for you and your unborn baby right now.

Before becoming pregnant, I was able to take any sort of horse pills, without even needing any liquid. Well, that's changed in a big way. It's not just the prenatal vitamins that won't go down. I can't even swallow the folic acid, which is a small, odorless tablet. This seems to be separate from...

Hey all. I am still fairly new here but am hoping to become a regular soon. AF is supposed to arrive is 6 days. I wrote before about irregular bowl movements but they seem to have gone. What I have been noticing more more today besides being constantly hungry and fatigues is my breast are...

I have a questoin that is embarassing but I am curious as to if it this is a possiblility. A little over a week after DH and I began trying this cycle I got sick. Since that week (it has been about a week 1/2), I have felt sick to my stomach every time I eat or don't actually. My bowls have...

Well, according to my ob/gyn's calculations, I entered the 3rd trimester yesterday :-) I had my regular (4 weeks) appt with my ob/gyn today, and things are continuing to go smoothly - it was rather uneventful :-) - urine analysis - sterile (which is a big yay for me!) - blood pressure - 100/70...
