It seems to me from what I have heard that you will automatically be
induced if you go between 10 and 14 days past your due date, and for
no other reason than that. I know there must be medical reasons for

Anybody know whether its safe or not if we colour and highlight our hair
during pregnancy... Thanks

Everyone in my family is named after someone, I love this tradition and want
to continue it...
My  late maternal grandmother was Mary Catherine Bradeen, she was called
Kaye.  My sister and my late mother both have Kaye as a middle name.

During what month do you usually start to be able to feel the baby move?
I am almost 4 months and I feel what feels like a pulse in my abdomen that
beats along with my heart beat- I think I am feeling a vein or something,
increased blood flow- when I lie on my stomach and it's being ...

I recently skipped my period by throwing out the sugar pills and
continuing with my next set of pills immediately. On the last day of
my new set of pills, I got my period which is unusual because I
usually don't get it until 2 days into the sugar pills. Also, I find

Sorry, I'm an idiot.  Can you overdose on folic acid?  I got a folic
acid supplement, to round out my chewable vitamin and calcium
supplement, and it's 800 mcg.  The vitamin is 400mcg.  Is this too much?

You'd be amazed at the fuss this is causing at a non-pregnancy/parenting
newsgroup.  I'm guessing she'll do like most celebs and have a c-section
anyway.  At the other 'group it seems whether the classes are useful or not,
they should at least take them.   Anyway, thought some here ...

Well I have been having contractions since last night around 11 p.m. and
they really are not that consistant but they hurt (nothing like the real
thing)  I also have leaked a couple of times today.  It didn't seem like pee
and it wasn't like my regular discharge.  So anyhow I called ...

Okay, roll call time.  All you gorgeously pregnant nine-monthers, are
you ready to strangle someone yet, or are you still enjoying the last
few moments of your in-utero baby?  How's the Christmas/holiday shopping
going?  You're almost there!!  How's this last month treating you ...

My DH is insisting we follow his mothers belief (or old wives tale!) that it
is bad luck to buy baby things before the baby is born. He says we should
make a list of things and order them on the day the baby is born - we have
made this list and given it to his sister (with exact ...

My husband and I are TTC.  I have been taking birth control pills for
the past ten years.  I stopped taking the pill three months ago
because we decided to start thinking about having a family.  Ever
since then, I have experienced sharp pains in my left breast.  Is this

Does anybody know of any good remedies for morning sickness for my wife.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This stroller is presently on sale ($119) and there is free shipping
over $100 so I'm very tempted to buy it.  However, I hate buying
something like this without having seen it.  It looks very similar to
one that I like here in the UK (M&P Aria Advance), but at half the
