Is it normal for the baby to drop into my pelvis already? I noticed it
dropping right after wk28 pretty much on the nose. By the way this is my
second child, I sont know if that has anything to do with things progressing
more quickly. My first child did not drop until later.

I am pregnancy at the 19th week. I just found that
the VASELINE® INTENSIVE CARE, RENEW & PROTECT MOISTURIZING LOTION
contains Vitamin A!!!!
I read an online article. It said that vitamin A applied to one's skin

Hiya, Maybe you can help.  I was wondering what kinda of classes that I need
to take and the wife needs to take and the both of us need to take?  At what
week should we start looking at classes and/or start them? Thanks for the
input.

With less than 4 weeks to go until my EDD (which I know is just an
estimate), Dh and I have been trying to get it in gear and get things
ready for our first baby.
Baby's room is well under way, the list of things to do on the fridge is

I am new here-again. Was here over 4 yrs ago when pregnant with #1......now
expecting another in March...an u/s last week found a fibroid. My Midwife is
not concerned, and I am a bit but more wanting to find out info.
Thanks

I'm new to the list. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for
about 2 months now. My period is late. I am on day 29 of my cycle. I
have been having mild-medium constant cramping from day 25. My cycle
usually lasts from 26-28 days and it's usually earlier than late. My

I can't believe how little energy I have had over the past couple of days.
I am just sooooooo sleepy.
Any advice?  I try to eat more frequent small meals.  Drink lots of fluids.
Sleep at nite.  But I've just been so tired.

Has anyone heard of this before?  
How does it work for labor/delivery?

ask for if I feel a need for pain medication.  She said that I would

My son who just turned 4, has been holding in his poop.  He has ben doing it
for over a month and he also has totally stopped playing in that month.  He
wont go outside and swing, swim, play ball, ride his bike, or anything.  I just
realized that his inactivity is probably related ...

Just got back from my 38-week midwife appointment.  Everything's fine.
I don't know what my blood pressure or any other measurements were, they
didn't say and I didn't bother to ask.  Oh, except I'm measuring right
on 38.  I declined to be checked.  Met Midwife #3, the only one I ...

Hope it's a lovely day for you :)

I've had some slight bleeding I'm 99% convinced it's not my period as it's
not heavy enough, there's no pain and it's mixed with mucous like lochia.
The afterpains from the birth have never stopped and I'm due to go to the
doctor this week to get them check out, any idea what this ...

I googled and all I could find is that it's like a tear that either is not
worth stitching or is too difficult to stitch?  Can you guys give a good
