history of it, after all, it's the same uterus.  For those who've ...

I need help. DD is 7-week-old. She coughs and stuffy nose these two days. I
thought baby under 3 months won't be sick; however, I suspect her has got a  
cold. Should I bring her to the family Dr.? Or should I give her any over
counter medicine? How can I tell if she is sick since ...

I had my ultrasound near the end of my 18th week.  All's well (as far as I
know, the tech didn't say a lot).  The placenta is very low, she said

ARHGHGHGHGHGHHG!! I am already tired of being pregnant. I'm hot, the kids
are home and I'm bored. Today by 11 am I was so sleepy I had to take a 3
hour nap. I've got 3 more months of this, and I can't imagine getting even
bigger and more uncomfortable. It doesn't help that I am here ...

just as I did with all of the other babies ... but I didn't think it would be
quite like this.
I lost my plug on Monday, and really didn't think much of it.  MW seemed a bit

If my first child is a female is it probbable that my second one will be?

Any recommended Indian baby name websites? (I've done a ...
