Just wondering How old were you all when your babies were born? ME #1 - 16 #2 - 18 #3 - 19 #4 - 20 #5 - 22

Today is not my day. For a few nights in a row my morningsickness has been clearly less, which freaks me out. During the day I generally feel miserable, but at this point it is hard to tell whether that is due to nerves or pregnancy. The only clue I had with the last m/c was the disappearing of...

My OB used a little paper wheel contraption and the first day of my last period (5/21/04) to determine my due date of 2/25/05. But that wheel is based on the "average" 28 day menstrual cycle. MY personal average cycle length is 33 days so wouldn't I have ovulated later and my due...

I had my 20 week u/s this morning and everything went well. I had to drink 2 pints of water an hour before my appt. By the time I got to the hospital I thought I was going to burst. My DH came with me and was amazed that I could last so long without rushing to the WC. I'm the type that has a...

Does anyone else have this problem. Strangers trying to touch your belly in public. It is driving me crazy. -- Thank You, Kellie http://www.castingmiracles.com

I know that I am *suposed* to want to breast feed. I know it is natural and healthier and cheaper and all the benifits. I know that most women CAN successfully breastfeed no problem and some problems are to be expected.. but what if you dont want to but feel you MUST at least try? I am not good...

I have a few miscellaneous questions about delivery in a hospital with ob's (in the u.s....) 1- Does everyone have an IV or is one only given in certain circumstances? 2- Do they hook you up to a catheter, or only in certain circumstances (such as c-section)..this is a paranoia of mine ever since...

Morgan just won't let me put her down. She wants to be on me all the time. She eats and falls asleep. Then, when I put her down she wails. I've tried just about everything. I'm at my wits end. Please help!! -- ~Carol Ann Mom to Morgan born 3.24.04

Dear all, Let me thank you first for all your prayers and good vibes, I have put them to good use and am sticking to my chair with gluevibes, fruit juice vibes and loads of other sticky vibes. Unfortunately, things have definitely taken a turn for the worse: yesterday I started cramping when I...

Any advice on or experiences with amniocentesis? My blood tests came back with an elevated risk for Down's Syndrome (I'm 30, my risk was what they would have expected for a 34 yr. old). I am scheduled for an ultrasound tomorrow and depending on what that tells us, my husband and I are now trying...

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...
