We are on our second baby and never took the pre-natal birthing classes.  We
got the tapes (don't recommend them), only because we couldn't afford the
classes.  We want to take them with this one, well I want to take them..  I
was wondering when we should sign up for the classes.  ...

interesting, bat instead i got bored to tears. wake up people, tou are not

Will have another baby?
If so, when would you like to TTC?
I would LOVE to have just one more...but my  husband went and had a
vasectomy 5 weeks after she was born,,he made the appointment, with-in

I think trying to be the emotionally strong one for my family has taken its
toll on me. I've suffered from depression before, and I've noticed the
change in me - extreme tiredness, lack of appetite - not helpful when
breastfeeding, anxiety, suspicious of everyone and their intent, ...

I actually got mildly attacked by one today (just two scratches and I
got stepped on lots and lots).  For some reason, where I live, people
keep behaving as though they live in the country, so they let their dogs
run loose.  Well, very often, we have to fight off these other dogs ...

Wow, forgot how a new baby makes your heart swell, I am absolutely beside

I just finished reading Healthy Sleep Habits, Healthy Child.  It states to
never wake a sleeping baby.  I could understand not doing that during the
night, but what about arousing them during the day from their naps?  I
usually wake mine up from her naps so I could feed her and keep ...

Don't automatically go for the tall handsome type. Remember, the baby
follows the size of the father to some extent. If you're a twiggy and
he's King Kong, it won't be easy. Don't rule out the small guys when
looking for love. Once you think you might be serious for a guy, offer

Help (again) please:
At the risk of just getting a string of replies from Todd, and
admitting that I did NOT understand Larry's post about the rhombus of
Michaelis very well (I guess that means I indeed have a problem

A Jordanian woman gave birth on a flight from Amsterdam to Chicago
yesterday. When it became apparent that she was going to have the
baby, they diverted the flight to St. John's, Newfoundland, which is
why the story is on CBC.

Can someone tell me the risks associated with taking a short haul
flight (2-3 hours) during the second trimester (at 24 weeks)?
Any advice would be appreciated :-)

Hi everyone. I'm in the UK, 16 weeks pregnant with my 6th child. My oldest
will be 15 when the baby is born and there will be a 7 year age gap between
my youngest and the new baby! I have hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
and take 150 mcg thyroxine for that. Anyone else using ...

I live in North Laurel, Maryland. I would like to find a fitness class
specifically targeted to pregnant women, for fitness and esprit de
corps.
The closest class I can find is 14 miles away, at the Silver Spring

It all started at about 6:30 a.m. on Monday, August 16, 2004.  I woke up
with major "cramps."  I thought I just had a stomach ache, and tried to go
back to sleep.  By 6:35 a.m. I knew it was time.  I woke Rob up and told
him, we rushed around (forgot everything) and left the house ...

I'm wondering if people think (or heck even *know*, if are studies) that
it's commonplace for fathers to attend midwife or OB appointments with
the mothers.  The reason why I'm wondering is because I always thought
it was *not* commonplace, but DH always thought that it was.  Now ...
