Excuse me for being ignorant, but do small women have more
complications during pregnancy than large women? I don't mean

small for my stage of pregnancy...I am 33 weeks along (34 on Monday) and
measuring at 31 cm.  

Hey, just one last question.   How early is too early to take a pregnancy
test?  I know they say wait til the day your missed AF but what about 3-4
days prior?  Could it result in false negatives because it was to soon?
Still anxiously waiting.

I am 33 weeks pregnant. I dremt last night that ,y 2.5 yo, who has not
breastfed in a long, long time, wanted to breastfeed again. We tried and he

Ugh, I have to go back and do this test now. Like I dont have ENOUGH

I noticed some posts about toddlers at the age of 1 being able to read and
such.  I am concerned about my toddler who is 2.  He really cannot speak
that well, and speaks in fragments such as "go out", or "go bath" etc etc.

Asking for opinions on this for a friend...she is pregnant with baby
number 2 and is trying for a VBAC.  While reading "The VBAC Companion"
she came across a statement that women who are college educated or
higher are more likely to have C-sections.  This statement surprised us

I would love to know!

I have had two kids and don't plan to have any others but I don't want
to have my tubes tied. I can't get a lot of information from my ob/gyn

chose to wait until I find out more about my options because I am not

I'm now 16 weeks pregnant, and the morning sickness has turned into an
evening sickness as well now!

talking it specially cause I travel 1hr by public transportation to work

You may remember I told you about our new addition, Aeryn.  Well, after a
grand total of two days at home, she ended up on the children's ward with a
drip.  :-(  She wasn't feeding, and when I freaked and rang the Midwife Led
Unit for help, they said take her in.  The paediatrician ...

My wife and I (and the one on its way) need your help.
The first child for my wife and I was born under the care of midwives.
And the cost was covered by insurance.
And it was simple and direct and efficient and cheap.
