girls then woman then bearfoot and preg. ... Amen

We're living in France,my wife is in 8 month pregnancy (33 weeks) and she has contracted
German measles (varicelle in French).
What are the risks for the foetus?
People say that it's dangereous only in early pregnancy.

They've been surprisingly sore off and on for the past little while.
I'm assuming that this is normal.  I never really got sore boobs in
early pregnancy, so now I feel like I'm somehow paying a price.  ;-)

I believe I have a yeast infection. I was taking acidophilus for it, and it
was going away but then doc said he would prefer I stop taking it as there
have been no studies to support its use with pregnant women. Doc said I
would have to ride it out, but it's making me miserable ...

You can say that again! I'm really bored and tired. I have few more
weeks to go. I'm bored of sitting in the sofa and watching TV/reading
books and basically bored of being stationary. Yet, if I walk around I
get tired really fast, get pressure around lower belly, pelvic bone

I keep reading all these websites about when to try to conceive and I
know "how" to get pregnant.  Nonetheless, I'm confused about when it
actually happens... when does the sperm go into the egg?  The reason

back in june i told everyone I was going ttc with #2 well so far nothing.  But
was close this month all well it will happen again.  In the meantime I'm
enjoying my almost 1 year old.  She is now trying to walk.  She gets up and
takes one step and falls on her butt its cute.  

A woman who lives just outside of my town recently had a home birth and lost
her baby. I feel so sad for her but unfortunately she made some really bad
decisions.
She had a c-section with her first pregnancy and her Doc informed her that

I started bleeding this morning and passed something.   So my very
short pregnancy is over.  I have spent a lot of the morning crying.  I
think I might have known this was going to happen.  I knew I was
pregnant but after getting the positive I felt really scared that

Red Flag on Blue Cohosh
By Ruth Kava, Ph.D., R.D.
For several years, ACSH has been warning consumers that "natural"

Somebody told me yesterday that Jolly Jumpers were banned. I have one but
don't plan on using it (they make me nervous) but I'm going to throw it out
rather then give it to somebody else if it's been banned. I'm in Canada.
Does anybody know about this?

I delivered DS 10 weeks ago and I've already started my menstural cycle
back.    I woke up this morning with some cramping and soforth.  Is it
normal for the cycle to come back so quickly postpartum?  I'm still
exclusively BFing my son so I figured I'd at the least have another 2 ...

Yeah, so I should just suck it up and tell the ILs that we're planning to
cosleep, and not look like I'm asking permission from them, any more than I'm
asking permission to have a homebirth midwife or to breastfeed.  But DH says he
can tell this is going to be a huge issue for them ...

My wife and I have been ttc for a while now, and she's on 100mg Clomid
to help get things moving as it seems she hardly ever ovulates. She
went for a scan the other day (on cd 12) but the Doc said nothing was
looking like coming through at that point.

Happy 27th Birthday, Kat!
I hope you had a wonderful day!  :-)
