Any comments/thoughts on the usefulness of the jogger style strollers vs. a more typical traditional one? I'm not a huge runner, but we do take walks a lot. We don't have many sidewalks and what's there is broken up - basically, it's kind of rough terrain, even on the streets where everyone...

ok, so I've seen all the data (well a lot anyway!) on VBAC in general, so I'd have no hesitation in encouraging a women to go for it. However, I had a brief conversation yesterday with someone I've only met once before, she told me she was pregnant, but that she'd been told she'd have to have...

Hi everyone. My name is Amanda. I have a wonderful 9 month old girl named Chaeli. Becoming a mother has been the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me. I have a question and maybe one of you can give me some advice or an idea of what may be going on with me. I had to stop breastfeeding my...

My apologies about the lengthy post... My DS is now 10 months old and insists on waking at 4am. This is not just because of daylight saving (I'm in Australia) but he's been doing it for about three months now. I go to bed at 9:45 pm, lights out at 10pm, asleep fairly quickly after that. All I ever...

Hi all Well everything is still going well and today I finally got left alone with her for a short period of time when I took her to the clinic for 2nd jabs ect. I met up with the foster carer and she pointed out that when Joanna has not got her trousers and socks on ect she turns a blue/purple...

My bad... I had a corrupted file saved for my Outlook, and when I went to restore OE after reinstalling Windows yesterday, to my shock, the corrupted file did NOT work! Apparently the news server didn't keep the list on here for me when I put the groups all back on, so does anyone, by any chance,...

Hi all, apologies for the forthcoming whinge... I haven't been about lately, because after my two bouts of flu, I had a lovely cold -joy of joys (apologies too to xkatx, I will email you back!). This, coupled with the fact that my morning sickness returned when I hit 6 months was yukky enough, but...

We have a 4.5 month old baby boy - lovely in every way except that he won't nap for any longer than 45 minutes. He wakes around 7am and is ready for his first nap around 1.5 hours later. After the first nap he's in a pretty good mood still, but as the day goes on (awake 1.5 hrs each time, 45 min...

With the move coming about, I almost forgot to go to my appointment. DH did not come this time around again, as he's taking the next two weeks off for the big move, plus all the time we had to spend with the notary last week... Anyway. All is fine. No more leucocyte, baby's head is WAY down, but...

I am pretty sure this is normal. I have a 5 1/2 month old and I'm enjoying everything about her. I feel so fullfilled everyday with her. Although, the past few weeks I've come to realize how I really don't have many friends and I began to feel lonely. A part of me feels guilty for feeling this...

I am 36 weeks 2 days with baby #5, and I just woke up from a nap with my back killing me. I was not sleeping in a funny position that could hav caused this pain. Its a constant dull throb in my lower back. Any tips on how to relieve it? I don't remember this much back pain with any of my other...

Hi, saw on one of the local TV news programmes this morning that the Assisted Conception Taskforce is launching their website today. www.assistedconception.net Thought this might be of interest or help to those here trying to conceive or looking for doctors or clinics in their area. It's an...

Hi I started a peroid yesterday which is unusual for me as I am on the depo provera injection and that usually stops all periods and pains, I am getting what I would call normal cramping pains and I am also passing clots, the last one I passed looked about the size of a worm, is this normal,...

Yea, yea... I know... Sounds like a great subject line... I'm wondering, though, if there's any concerns about dog poop while pregnant. Is there the same concern about dogs that there is for cats? I don't clean the cat's box - DH does that and has since before DD was born, but only after I had...
