ARGH! It's falling out now. I hate this stage of post-partum hormones.
I swept the kitchen floor and turned around and there was hair where I
just swept!
It's EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morgan is 11 weeks 3 days old and she's huge!! I don't mean fat.  I mean she
seems so 'thick'.
Everyone who sees her is shocked to hear she is only 11 weeks old.
Is there a chart to show the average height and weight of babies as they

A couple of days ago DH & I had BD, and for the first time I had pink
spotting afterwards. It wasn't a lot, and it faded to brown that day. I did
ask my midwife, and she said spotting after sex is normal at 36 weeks, and
just to be aware that it can trigger off labour. Well last ...

Into the second half of pregnancy!  So it's all swiftly downhill from
here, eh? :)  How's everyone feeling?  Is your body telling you to start
slowing down, taking it a little easier?  How is sleeping going -- lots
of pillows stuck into every nook?  Bellybutton flattening out yet, ...

Is there any like, baby cooler/warmer stations I can get so that I can
prepare bottles before night time and have them stay cool at night and
warm them when I need them and then put them back to cool without having
to run to the fridge all the time?

What a waste of money!  They were so expensive.
I waited too long to use them and Morgan is now too big for them.
I put one on her, she peepeed, then sneezed and it popped open.  Darnit.
They really cost so much.

Some of you, here, are bad luck!  ;-)  No, I did not have an accident,
but I sure came close!  Picture this:  me, in my car, following two
mini-vans that were driving closely together.  The one directly in front
of me is swerving back and forth between the left and right lanes, ...

Is it normal for a breastfed 1-1/2 mo old to go several days without passing
stools?  Our baby sometimes goes into a 3rd day without passing.  We end up
having to stimulate her with the tip of a thermometer.  We've done that
twice in the last several weeks, but feel that we ...

I called for my amnio results today and they said they weren't ready since
the cells weren't growing very fast. They said they would have the results
"sometime this week". It's been 13 days and my friend got hers back in 11
days with good results. I'm so worried that this is a bad ...

Hiya!  I've just turned 34, live in Ipswich, Suffolk, & this is my first
pregnancy.  I'm currently 17 weeks according to my scan dates.
I'm a GP and did obstetrics and paediatrics during my training (although
a while back), so I know something about all this from the medical POV,

LOS ANGELES: Former Friends star Courteney Cox and her husband, actor

I thought I would drop in and see how everybody is. Thanks to those who have
emailed me and kept in touch :)
I'm now at 37 weeks and 2 days. My last appointment was Tuesday. The doctor
did an internal and as of Tuesday, I was 1cm dilated and %50 effaced. The

I've just found out that my girlfriend is 2 months pregnant, great news and
I'm really happy.
Do any of you have any useful web sites, info, anything that I can read up
on?

I just had my second u/s at 6w2d.  Before the midwife started the u/s, she
said that we wouldn't see anything but a sac-- no embryo, no heartbeat.
And that's exactly what we saw, a gestational sac that measured exactly
right (6w2d)... it has grown significantly in a week as at my ...

It seems that baby Quinn has his days and nights mixed up.  Some days I
have to wake him up to eat every time and then he's up all darn night
for hours and hours crying.  Nothing we do seems to sooth him except
food and he's eating 3 oz every 2-3 hours (I'm pumping as nursing was ...
