Hello everyone, I looked for a proper group to put this, but this is the closest I could find. FIrst, thank you for reading and any advice is great. I am 33 years old and miscarried at 10 weeks in early June. I didn't have a D&C because I miscarried in the ER and the attending said everything...

I was reading through my hospital's pregnancy manual where they tell you exactly what to expect out of their care etc. It says they give you a self-administered medication kit to take home with you and in it is a stool softener they recommend taking to help with bowel movements the first week or...

Glad I took my flu shot before they ran out AND before I got sick! Well, I still have another week before I'm out of the woods completely. But, still glad I took it! ~Carol Ann

We seem to have acquired a ton of all of these things at our showers this weekend and I'm thinking it's over kill. Everyone says "you need so much" , but *how* much? AT least without having to do laundry every day?

First let me apologise for not posting any earlier - it's been a traumatic few weeks but now we're sort of back on track, so for those of you interested., DW was due on the 4th July, problem was nobody had told our unborn baby this and apparently their diary was full the next week and a half. So...

Being a foreigner, I don't know which stores sell maternity or nursing stuff, particularly at the cheaper to middle end of the market, we live in a relatively up market place and other than motherhood maternity (and even then it had mimi maternity with triple the prices in the front of the...

Well, Lann is going to be 2 months old on Friday (I can't believe it!) and I've decided it is time for me to "retire" into lurkerdom. I still really enjoy reading this group, but I can't quite manage to keep up with it lately. Lann keeps me quite busy and what energy remains I'm focusing on...

Hi Peeps I know you'll remember me because it's not been donkeys years since I've been gone but I have been away for a while but I need some good advice please. Joanna is doing really well although testing my paitents at the moment as she trying to find out what her boundaries are ect. Anyway...

The tenth month! Postpartum is definitely a part of pregnancy, so here you go: All our new moms, if you're still reading here and haven't migrated over to misc.kids.breastfeeding or misc.kids yet, how are you doing? Lochia tapering off, or telling you to take it a little easier? Are you getting...

Has anyone had an irritable uterus? My doctor told me that my uterus was irritable, not sure if that's the same thing. What was it like for you? My contractions were coming every two minutes, and Procardia has brought them to a hault for now. They felt like my uterus was getting very...

a friend just had her 4th child, she suffered a placental abruption during labour, the same happened with her 3rd child, usually when I've heard about placental abruption it's not been in labour, plus I've not heard of people having more than one placental abruption, it usually seems to be a one...

I had a dr appointment Friday, the start of my 2 week visits. I called them 3 hours before the appointment and let them know I was sick on my stomach (morning sickness comes back sometimes) and was throwing up. I explained to them that I could make the appointment but if they would agree to it...

DS (10 months) has started refusing to eat solids from a spoon, even his old favorites. I thought it was because he was not feeling well, but he seems to be feeling better and still is giving DH trouble while eating. I quit breastfeeding him early (4 months), so he drinks formula now. He doesn't...

Dunno if I've left this too late, I'm 28 weeks now, but I'm wondering whether I should be thinking about hiring a doula after all. Or a birthing pool. Any ideas where I should start looking, please, to find either of these? I live in London. That's in the UK. -- Mogget

I woke up this morning and said to myself "I feel warm". With that I took my temp and sure enough it was high (for me). Yesterday's temp was 97.2 and today's is 97.7. Usually a .5 jump is ovulation - but today is only Day 9. With kids 1, 2, and 3 ovulation wasn't till Day 21-23. Is this...

Hey all. If you have any advice or experience, I'd appreciate it if you shared. Last Saturday, when Hale was a day old, the ped noticed he made a funny sound when breathing in while he was crying. I can't remember the word the doctor used, but to me, the sound is like a "snort." He mentioned it...

Hi. I was wondering, how often can you feel the baby move in a day? I started to feel movement around week 17 I think, but now, at 23 weeks, I feel so little and week movements, I thought they´d be stronger by now. I can feel a little something usually in the mornings, one or two kicks (well not...
