Please give me links on research refuting the claim that uncircumcised
males have 10 times the rate of UTIs and STDs than circumcised men? Also
a link to that list someone keeps mentioning where men are trying to
regrow foreskin?

No doc appointment, just my account. I have not had any morning sickness at
all since I hit 20 weeks. It went away and stayed away- yay!! Since I am no
longer taking Zofran, I no longer have a severe problem with constipation
(sorry if that's TMI, but it really was a big problem and ...

My due date has just passed by and I was wondering if anyone has any
opinions on any of the old wives tales such as drinking castor oil to bring
on the birth.  Please let me know if you have done any of these things and

I have a friend who has had miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and preterm
deliveries.  She was poking around online, looking up an illness her mother
had (who is deceased, as is her father) and lots of stuff about DES came up.
She obviously can't ask her mom now if she ever took it ...

Does anyone here know if Zanaflex is ever ok'd by a dr for use during
pregnancy? I am curious- I am trying to research it now and have only found
that it is a category C. My OB approves some commonly used category Cs.
I am going to call my neurologist tomorrow who prescribes this ...

this baby.  Besides genetic problems what can an amnio detect?  Can you

I'm 38 weeks and I am beginning to feel like the little man will never be
born and that I am always going to be pregnant.  It feels never ending!  I

someone just walked in the room with a mug of coffee, it made me feel
terrible, this was what it was like last time.
I 3 weeks late, but then I was last cycle (I'm breastfeeding my 7.5 month

I know a couple of you out there are into making slings and things for your
babies, so I am hoping you can give me a little advice. I'd really like to
sew a sling, and am thinking something on the order of the Maya Pouch would
work best for us. I've found a couple patterns online, ...

I just feel like posting an update:-)  Went and saw the doctor today and
everything is going well.  The little man has moved downward very much but
the doctor said that for subsequent babies they usually don't drop until the
mom is in labor.  So not too worried.  Definitely feeling ...

I ordered birth announcements for Laszlo from www.storkavenue.com and I was
really happy with them, but I want something different this time around.
I'm actually considering making them myself (in these wee hours consumed by
insomnia!) but in case that fails, I was wondering if any ...
