So, I had the thing put in 10 days ago.  I'm still bleeding (ranging from what
I'd call heavy spotting to moderately heavy period-type bleeding.), and some
intermittent cramping.  The gyn said I could expect to spot for a few days.
(And the Mirena brochure said I could spot for a ...

Yes, another in the eight zillion threads on this subject!
But I'd appreciate any wisdom - Google didn't get me anywhere.
Emily hasn't been able to latch.  Lactation consultant #1 says this is

I have been TTC for a little while now and of course have been thinking
A LOT about pregnancy and child rearing.  I feel very confused right
now and I'm thinking that many other women probably feel the way I do
so I thought I would post and see what people's opinions are.

Anyone know of a sturdy changing table in white with drawers and a

I know that after my last one I was on some really heavy drugs for the first
day or two, and on pain relievers for several weeks. I can't imagine this
would be good for the baby, since they almost completely knocked me out. Is
this the same for a planned C-section as for an ...

I understand it is sometimes normal for women to lose hair while
nursing, even when taking plenty of vitamins. Anyone here ever
experienced this? How long does it last? Does it grow back?

Just wanting to know If mental illness is genetic? The father of my unborn
baby, i have just found out he has severe mental problems. I dont know
exactly what his condition is but it is very likely to be like multiple

I have not taken a HPT, AF is due today.  I do not want it to come.  We've been
TTC for almost 6 years.  We have male factor infertility.  By the pregnancy
calendar it says that if I am pregnant I am 5 weeks.  For about a week now I've
had these sharp cramps come off & on in my ...

Hi all i have been reading these forums for months now, they have been
great.  I am 35 weeks pregnant due on the 3rd of July, I went for my check
up today and they found i have some protein in my urine.  He did say it was
nothing to worry about at the moment but it would need to be ...

I woke up last night with really nasty crampy diarrhoea.  It lasted about an
hour, and then I managed to get back to sleep.  Today I feel a bit nauseous,
but mostly o.k.  Do I need to worry at all?  I am 12 weeks pregnant, and
even though this is my second pregnancy, I feel so much ...

I successfully breastfed my baby (a boy in the dream).  Then he pooped on
me.  It was a diaper explosion.  I don't think I had enough wet wipes with
me:P
I hope this is a happy predictor of my breastfeeding capabilities.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.  No milk is flowing.  Morgan has been
sleeping allot since her shots this morning and she hasn't been able to
finish feeding properly.
I want to pump.  Can someone help me?

I agree that meditation is the best way to release stress. Now, if
only I can sit tight for two minutes :) I see people "meditating" and
releasing stress when they do things like knitting or gardening. It's
just a way to relax and unwind after a day's work.

The only newsgroup I normally read is the scrapbooking one :) but I just
found out that after almost 2 years of trying, we are expecting #5   :)  we
are so pleased and I have spent this morning looking for people due around
the same time.  Anyway - my cycle is so all over the place ...
