I live in the Burbank/ Hollywood/Hollywood Hills area and was looking
for some good recommendation on prenatal massages for my wife. I want
to surprise her for V day ;-))

I'm interested in donating our newborn's cord blood.  I researched the
'banking' issue, but it's expensive and not really something we'd
consider.
But, does anyone have any advice on who I can contact wrt making a

I just had an appointment today and I told the doctor that I am in a lot of
pain on the days I have to work (custodian) so he prescribed me
Propoxyphene.  Can anyone tell me anything about this drug and is it safe to
take while pregnant?

We just bought the Ocean Wonders swing, bouncer seat and crib side hanging
toy tonight off of my friend who's 1 year old daughter doesn't need/use them
anymore. They look really nice and from what I can tell, seem like good
products. Do you guys have any opinions/reviews on them? ...

Kaaaattttt???!!  I took a peak on google and nothing yesterday from her

Well, I still haven't had mine.  I had an ultrasound 3 weeks ago to

March.  I'm debating trying to get in with the Navy clinic at ...

I know that there are a couple of people on here that live in NC -- I
live in Greensboro and was considering going to Concord Mills to do a
little shopping for baby stuff and I was wondering if it would be
worth the trip.

They arrived very flat like plain cloth (I have normal chinese prefolds,
not fitted or shaped diapers), and now that I've washed and dried them,
they've become *very* fluffy and almost bubbly -- is this normal, you
more experienced cloth-goers?  Do I iron them, or do they settle ...

FYI - Recently came across a site called www.overcomeproblems.com which has
some useful information on how to help yourself and others. Check it out..

Does anyone here have any advice about wired or wireless video baby
monitors.  We have tried 2 different wireless ones and were very
disappointed with both.  I'm not trying to bad mouth the actual
products at all, I just think that we have too much interference

This may not be the place for such a question but I'm sort of running
out of places to turn to for advice on this subject.  My husband and I
have a friend that's recently single (broken up from her fiance of 2
years) and just moved outside of Charlotte, NC a few months ago to

I'm 31weeks pregnant right now, with our first kid. I had question here
about the baby umbilical cord. After they cut the cord, will there any of it
left on the baby? And, how many days usually we need to stay in the
hospital? Anybody stay in Worcester, England? How is the ...
