Hi all - I am back from my baby shower. (And the exhausted coma I lapsed into after I got home...) I drove down with my MIL. She was appalled that DH wasn't planning on going with me, she said I had no right going alone, being pregnant and all! She brought my mom a nice gift to thank her for the...

How are you feeling, seven-monthers? Enjoying your beautiful belly? Any braxton hicks? Aches and pains, or are you carrying on with life as usual? Everything lined up for the birth, maternity leave, found a doula, taken a breastfeeding class, toured the birth center/hospital, happy with the care...

I took epidural in my first delivery. I read a lot about the disadvantages of having an epidural on this board when I was pregnant first time. But I also spoke to my family and friends and they didn't have any negative things to say about it. In fact they talked as if that's a good thing they did....

where do they go? the head of the crib? the food end of the crib? or on the side of the crib? the directions are not very clear about it... I had it where i thought it should go and that was the side that is against the wall on the SIDE of the crib, BUT it didnt screw on right at

I was just wanting some feedback from some people who have used Gripe Water. My DS seems to be incredibly gassy (he hiccups all the time, is a lazy nurser and swallows alot of air when he cries). Did the stuff actually work? HOw did you give it to the baby? ARe there any side effects that...

I was recently asked the question if I knew where (soon to have a baby woman) could get cloth diapers. I couldn't tell here where to go other than to the wally worlds and the target's. She said that she has checked there and they don't carry them. Only disposable one. When my wife and I raised our...

Everyone told me I was nesting Sunday the 22nd. I didn't think I was; for one thing, I didn't have the energy everyone said goes with nesting. I was just resigned to getting some overdue stuff done already. So we did stuff -- set up crib and stroller and a few other things. After he was done with...

Scheherazade's birth story March 2nd, 2004 - * - In which we already know the sad ending The story begins with a high AFP reading at 16 weeks and a diagnosis of moderately decreased amniotic fluid at our 17 week ultrasound. The OB said it wasn't good, but it might resolve with rest. By 19...

....and I didn't even hear the program.... Monika did and told me about it. One of our local NPR stations (KALW, SF Unified School Dist) had an interview with a Doula. What a crock. She kept going on and on about how good the OBs and hospitals she worked with were. Her epidural rate was...

Okay, so we go into labor. We feel contractions. I'm not sure what these will feel like. At this point, I get major tightness in my tummy which feels like the baby is pulling on all sides of my front. Then, it goes away. Then, it comes back. But, then stops completely. Questions: Do we lose...

Welcome and congratulations, if you're just found out! Do you feel pregnant yet, or is it still new and stunning? Have you started telling people? Started to look around at the hospitals and birth centers near you, taking prenatals? Any food cravings, any morning queasiness? Peeing a million...

My DH, bless his heart, is about to begin making a cradle for this little bug. I've been on his case to begin building it and now I cannot pin point what I want! Having used a Moses basket then crib with my other two I am not too sure how I want it designed. I've noticed the ones online either are...

Hi ladies, I'm currently in the two week wait of an IVF cycle. Quick background - transfer was wednesday 25th Feb, I have to test on Wednesday 10th March. I had two fairly good embryos transferred back. Now, my logic would suggest it's possibly too early to feel anything yet, but I feel...

What would you recommend out of the available diaper disposal systems? There is the diaper genie - I've heard this one isn't very good with smelly diapers as the baby gets older. There's the "diaper champ" which I've heard has a greater capacity and is better with smell, and you can use regular...

Tonight as I was leaving the mall, I KNOW I had BH. If it wasn't BH I was going to worry!! This is the first time I felt anything like this. It felt like contractions- with tightening and all, and it HURT though, like cramps! It (the pain)was mostly going down below my belly button, I didn't...

If you have made a belly cast, what have you done with it? Where do you keep it? Someone once said it'd make a heck of a chip & dip bowl.... Nancy
