on clearance. Ended up spending a little more than we planned but got a very
good deal, and it is furnture that is real, solid wood and will last through
any future babies *or* the 2 pieces aside from the crib will last and be
practical even through the teen years. For less than the ...

Hello,
I would like to find out more about Vitamin K in relation to the
supplement given to babies when they are first born. Is there a FAQ which
deals with this, or can someone please share their knowledge and

girl having a c-section no is like pulling a
rabbit out of a hat no big deal.

I am 35 years old and mother to a beautiful 8 month old baby girl(my
first). I had such a wonderful pregnancy with her. I had almost no
morning sickness, and felt fantastic all the time except after 34
weeks when my pubic bone starts hurting. I had regular appointments

I had my baby on nov. 26 and am nursing him.Yesterday I noticed blood.
Kinda dark red, cramps and everything just like AF. My other bleeding
from having the baby only stopped like 2 and a half weeks ago.I
thought when you breastfed it took longer for AF to come back. But

And how many are "too many" for you?
So far 2 showers are being planned for me. One is where I used to work (and
my DH still works there and so we know a lot of people individually and as a
couple both)- so really, the shower is as much for him as for me. The work

I was recently reminded by some research I stumbled across that I'm
at increased risk for premature labor and a low birth weight baby. My
risks are something like 8 times normal for premature labor and 6-12
(depending on how the various factors react) times normal for

Hi, my name is LeAnn.  I have a 7 year old son and I am 7 months
pregnant with my second son.  Maybe I just can't tolerate much pain but
I remember labor with my first son to be just horrible.  I remember
screaming at everyone to give me some drugs! ;-)  Labor and delivery

Are you becoming increasingly uncomfortable?  I am.  Geez.  My back on the
left side by my ribs aches allot.
I still have trouble with my arms falling asleep and my nose becoming stuffy
at nite.

The shower post makes me wonder if anyone has any input on having a baby
shower before or after.  My best friend is in charge, and after discussing
it, I told her it was best to concentrate on it *after*.  That way all my
friends I don't get to see that often will be able to see the ...

I have registered, but am wondering if there are any must-haves as far as
infant toys or items go......in particular, I am curious about toys for
babies under a year old. Other items I have not registered for (well
actually..it's not about registering for all of these, it's about ...

Hello!  I was a lurker on this newsgroup when I was pregnant with my
first child, and I recently found out I'm pregnant with my third!  I
learned the news on New Years Day, and while this baby was not
planned, I still think of him/her as a blessing.  I'm looking forward

I'm just over 19 weeks pregnant with my third and am getting braxton hicks
contractions at least once a day.
Has this happened with anyone else?  I a bit concerned that it is too early.
Best wishes, Sandy

I never thought I'd be writing to a pregnancy message board, but I'm
doing it on behalf of my wife, who's having our first child in
February.  She's particularly squeamish about medical stuff, and one
of her big concerns now is the episiotomy.  My understanding is that

Sorry, this is a post-pregnancy query, but I have found the articles in this
NG very useful in the last 9 months - despite only reading them and never
getting involved! I am sure the wealth of intelligence in here will be able
to assist me.
