Every morning I wake up and think, "Ok, today's the day Lily's going to come." Then I get really excited, then really scared and realize that maybe it's not today and that I can use the extra time to emotionally prepare for her arrival. Then about 10 minutes later I want her out again! I'm...

Hi Everybody, I am just back from my first ever trip to a Stone Cold creamery. MMMMMMMM. The Ice Cream was fantastic. The portions are huge . I could hardly finish my "like it" cone. It's going to be a very dangerous place once I am going to be able to drive again!!! Wish I could have shared it...

I have a question about foetal growth. My sister is currently 27 weeks pregnant, however just had her latest check-up and the OB/GYN said that the baby is about 22 weeks size... She was sent for an ultra sound and this confirmed that the baby was small, however the blood flow, oxygen flow...

The very top of my stomach has been feeling numb. When I sneeze or laugh, I get a painful pinching sensation in that area. Anyone else experience this?

The tenth month and beyond! 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...
