Sorry, I just need to vent.  Last pregnancy, I felt DH was so supportive
(mind you, we were living in separate cities for 2 months, so that may have
helped).  This time, he seems so critical.  Yes, I have put on weight, but

really worried. He lost his week about 3ounces in a week, and he only had
about 20ounces milk the most these few days. Today is worst, he only take

I had another migraine yesterday. It started around 4PM and lasted all

I know that I was stupid in discussing VBAC with my not so supportive
mother who thinks that had 3 years passed between my c-section and
