I've had a friend who's just had a baby and has diastasis recti (separation
of the abdominal muscles) and has been told by her miswife not to use a
sling to carry the baby in.
Does this sound right?  I was never given that kind of advice.

I got the results of my nuchal transluceny scan/blood test results back
today. My risk of DS went from about 1/250 (due to my age) to 1/2611.
Although it's not a guarantee, it makes me breathe a little easier :-)

This is the strangest thing that's ever happened to me. I'm certain moms
will understand and maybe even shrug and say "it's normal", but I find the

My little girl is 7 months old. I had an easy delivery-6 pound baby,
18 mins of pushing, 2nd degree episiotomy.

When Will I Get My Period And Why Do Girls Have A Period!

To put things in perspective, I am from India and currently a WOH mom
to a 11 month old DD. Last time I was pregnant I was a silent reader
of MKP. But now I have lot more questions than during my first time. I
might not respond to each response personally. But I would really

I can do it.  I can do it.  I can do it.
It's only for a while.  She's only a baby once.  She's just a helpless child

Breastfeeding is better than Formula.

why do us girls use tampons

Well, apparently my ds has inherited my sense of style taste for classic,
suble and non-trendy.
When we found out we were having a girl, he told me it should be named Emma.
I told him I'd put it on the "short list".

I had a bouncing baby boy!
