Vaccination is NOT immunization/Breastfeeding *is* immunization! by
Todd Gastaldo
PREFATORY NOTES:
1. Vaccination is NOT immunization. Breastfeeding *is* immunization.
Breastfeedings are free daily immunizations that reportedly make MD-needle
vaccinations work better (see PS2 below).
2. I am NOT opposed to vaccination. I am ADAMANTLY IN FAVOR of
vaccination - ***as long as...

Valium During 2nd Trimester of Pregnancy? by
MD
Does anyone know of any studies that have been done on the safety of
valium use during the second trimester of pregnancy? We will be going on
vacation, flying, which I am a little nervous about and the doctor has
told me he can prescribe for me some valium. All I can find about it is
that it is a...

More than one child by
Shelley
OK, give me the truth. How much different is two kids than one. I
know many people do it and seem to survive but I'd love to hear the
lowdown from you experienced moms of what to really expect. Some of
my concerns/questions may seem a bit trivial but I wonder anyway.
- Does the new baby crying...

Em
My baby is presently 3 weeks old and since I'm spending a lot of time in the

Midwives & Home birth vs. an OB & hospital ? by
LSU Grad of '89
OK, this really bothered me so I will share it in hopes that I am just too
used to the "modern" way. A woman at work is having hr first child, she's
~5months and has had no visits to an OB or Doctor. She is completely relying
on a midwife. She will have a natural birth at home with the midwife...

succenturiate placenta (accessory lobe) by
V.
I mentioned this in an earlier post but got no answers (maybe b/c no one has
any to give) :) but thought I'd give it another try with it's own subject
line.
I have an anterior placenta with a posterior accessory lobe. My midwife
looked concerned at the report and asked what I had been told at the...

Feeling umbilical cord... WEIRD! by
Zaz
Has anyone ever felt that?
This is the second morning I can feel the umbilical cord of my baby, right
by my rib, on the left side. The first time, I thought I'd imagined it in a
semi-comatose sleep I didn't want to get out of... This morning, as I rolled
on my back from right to left (holding my...

Implantation Bleeding or Period? High Temps? by
WintrSsnrstrm
Hi all. We have been TTC and I have been charting a while. I got a very light
"period" (red in color, but 1/4 as heavy as usual, and over in a day and a
half, nothing on pad, just see it on toilet tissue) five days before AF was
due. That was two days ago, and I still have cramps (not bad, just...

alternatives to 100% breastfeeding by
Vicky Bilaniuk
OK, I hate to say this, but practically everything I read on this ng
about breastfeeding is actually turning me away from it. (perhaps it's
good that I read all of this *before* diving into the situation, so I
thank everyone, even though this is probably not the reaction that some
of you would...

Boiling latex and silicone nipples by
Jody Pellerin
There's been a bit of a debate between myself and somebody in the family
over boiling and microwaving nipples. From what I was told, by boiling latex
nipples, it dries them out and they flake in the babies mouth. And I guess
microwaves do the same thing to them. I use the microwave to warm...

How old is too old? by
Christine
its just hard to sit back and see other people my
age going shopping with their moms, getting
their hair done with them and everything that
mothers should do with their daughters.
Some people who lost their mom (at a young) age would envy you!
My
mother loves me very much as I do her....
