I was wondering if any one has had this similar experience. I am still nursing
my 10 month old baby. About a month ago I starting to have light spotting for
about a day. It has been happening now for about 6 weeks. The last few days (
since friday to be exact) I have had light ...

Well I had my 13 week check up and when they listened for the heart beat
they only heard placenta noises which I took as a semi good sign since I was
not sure the placenta would be making any noise if the baby was not using
it.  Well I had an "just in case" ultrasound scheduled for ...

There's an article in giving birth in today's Telegraph. It amused me
because it reminded me about #1's birth. If you like articles about how
"easy" the birth process is then don't bother, but I enjoyed it.
Unfortunately you haver to register to get the article (I sneaked a look at

Has your milk come in?  I read your other post but not the responses.
Anyway, I hope it has.  With my daughter it didn't come in until 6 days and
it was awful.  She got dehydrated and jaundiced and was hospitalized.  But
it all worked out just fine.  I hope you are doing well.  I'm ...

Tell me again that it is okay to co-sleep.  I'm worried that I may smother

I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere!  I
have read that if you are not breastfeeding you can start taking the
pill 3 weeks postpartum.  But no where can I find anything about what
to do if you are still bleeding (lochia).  Can you start the pill

just another late pregnancy annoyance which isn't mentioned in books!
When I was over 2 weeks before my due date I started getting
emails/phone calls etc from people asking if I have had the baby yet
or if labour has started...they all know when the due date is, so this

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and have developed a rash on my face.  It started
underneath my nose and has spread around my face and neck.  On Sunday, I
felt like my face was on fire and now (Tuesday) it feels more like an
itch.  I am going crazy and am so miserable, I just want to cry.  I ...

I've still only got colostrum and it's day 4. I'm sure that's quite
normal but my baby has lost 12% of his body weight and his pediatrician
is concerned because of his mild case of jaundice. (He is A+ and I am O-
blood...) His bilirubin level rose from 10.5 (day 1) to 10.8 (day ...

I have mentioned this before and this is just something that I can't just
get over! I had problems earlier in pregnancy with relatives getting purely
angry because I wouldn't want to be around anyone who was possibly sick or
had just been sick etc, because I didn't want the flu or ...

I called the midwife with a question on Sunday afternoon, because my
appointment wasn't until Wednesday (tomorrow). I was wondering about the
clear thin disharge I was having and then I also asked her about my
swelling, which started early Saturday and did not go down at all- it was

Right now (23 weeks) I can still do yoga, weight lifting and walking.
I'll likely continue through to the end of my pregnancy like last time.
But I'm getting lazy about the weight lifting...particularly as I can't
do all the positions I used to be able to (before I got pregnant).

I am a graduate student in a product design program, and I am
currently doing a project to design diaper bags for working parents. I
would love to have some input from working moms and dads as to their
experiences with diaper bags.

How long were you able to use yours?
Do you recommend any other type of co sleeping bed?
