update on Max by
Vicky Bilaniuk
Well, the poor little guy has a bladder infection! He's on his first
antibiotic. :-( Poor kid. So now, along with an ultra sound for his
hip, he's going to get an ultra sound to see if anything is up with his
bladder and attachments, since it's rather odd for an infant this young
to have a...

IUD Update 2(Sort of -- pretty OT) by
Naomi Pardue
I posted a few weeks back about the problems I was having with my Mirena IUD,
that I seemed to be allergic to it. After talking to an allergist and my gyn we
weighed my options and I decided to have it out. To deal with the
constant/irregular bleeding that was sure to follow (the main reason I had...

Anne Rogers
I had my first appointment with the midwife yesterday, she came to our
house, which was helpful for me as ds slept part of the time and we were
able to be relaxed and take our time over things.
It was mainly form filling, which included some exchange of information, for
example I needed to update...

Heavier periods after giving birth? (gross) by
Carlye
Hey, I have a question: Is it your experience that after giving
birth, your periods are heavier than they were before?
I ask because I am having my first period following the birth of my
daughter. It was "forced" by birth control pills (which I stopped
taking after only 6 days since they seemed...

37 week by
Zaz
Good news!
The contractions I *thought* I'd been having over the past week are indeed
contractions, not just Braxton-Hicks. They have been acting up on my cervix,
which has thinned and softened - no dilatation as of yesterday, though.
The appointment was with my backup midwife and her student, so...

Larger than average babies by
Wendy
Anyone know the reason babies grow to the size they do in utero? If the
baby's size at birth has nothing to do with the size they will be as an
adult and nothing to do (apparently) with the size of the parents, or
their size at birth, then what determines size? Whew, that's quite a
mouthful...LOL....

Antibiotics in baby's eyes? by
Zaz
I have to make that decision, and frankly, I am not certain what to do.
While our healthcare minister recommends lowering down the administration of
antibiotics, it is still law to rub every newborn's eyes with an antibiotic
cream. I am given the option to refuse, if I sign an official...

My daily visit to Kroger by
Leslie
My BP was all in the 150s on top this time, highest 159, lowest 150. The
bottom number was 90 one time, the 80s the other three. Of course, I was
actively shopping (l just spent $400--ACK!!) trying to stock up on things the
helpless people in my house can cook for themselves. Yes, I AM going to...

Pain on lower left side? by
Donna Metler
I'm really starting to feel pain on the lower left side of my abdomen-I KNOW
that HELLP pain is upper right quadrant, or more generalized, so I'm not too
worried about this being HELLP again, but I don't know what it is, and it
bothers me. It's to the point that it really hurts if the baby kicks...

Quickie update (m/c ment) by
Ilse Witch
I had my fourth m/c last thursday, to the day exactly a year after my
first. It was painful, and I'm still very tired, but I'm also very glad
my body coped by itself and I didn't need a D&C. It feels good it is over
now and I can move on with my life. We'll probably jump onto the TTC
bandwagon soon...

Baby Bjorn question by
Amber
At what age is is safe to use the Baby Bjorn front carrier? DD is 2 weeks and
9 pounds 7 ounces as of yesterday. I used the Bjorn with DS2, but not until
later on. DD is wanting to be held a lot, which I don't mind. But, it would
come in handy if I could use the Bjorn. So, what age is too...

Addie's Adoption Story by
Jamie Clark
Part 1
October 27, 2004
Okay, seeing as Addie turns one month old today (4 weeks exactly), I figured
I'd better get her birth/adoption story down before my self-inflicted
deadline. Just like me to get it in, just under the wire! The majority of
names have been changed for privacy.
Of course,...

I must be the worst mother on MKP by
Mum of Two
Everyone here is so perfect! It seems you all wear your babies constantly,
co-sleep with them when you aren't wearing them, rock them for hours on end
while they scream, and manage all this even with a dozen other children
besides and a successful career. Those of you who don't have a career...

Yes, that's right.
She was 8lbs. 3oz and born sometime around 7:00 on Friday 10/29.
Let's just say that I'm living proof that a first babies experience has
*nothing* to do with second babies. Matthew was a very...
