OK. So, Tuesday, I got downtown in plenty of time for my 2:30 appt. N
was asleep in her stroller as we entered the waiting room. We waited til

Hello, Andrea! I just wanted to offer you many, many congratulations! I
really, truly admire you and hope to be half the woman you are. I wish you
all the best with this pregnancy and I really miss seeing you over "there".
Please e-mail me any time (karaeh at hotmail dot com) ...

When did it start for you?  During my last pg it started  before I missed my
period.  Is that common?

Earlier today I found my 16 month old daughter crying while trying to
pass motion. I looked at her anus and found that she was trying to
pass this huge chunk of very hard faeces, about 1 inch in diameter.
There was already some blood around the anus. I held her with her legs

So here I am. I thought it was my thyroid that was malfunctioning, as my
symptomes were quite similar. I'm depressed, tears in my eyes any instant,
I'm tired as hell, I feel anxiety about every little chore I must make
(phone call, banking, groceries, etc.). I really thought it was ...

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I am experiencing, heartburn and indigestion all
the time.
Not being sick, but feeling awfal.
Has anyone had this? how did you get rid of it.  I find eating bread helps,

My 13 month old is so strong, he can almost get the oven door open. He
can also break off those cheap, plastic safety first stove locks that
go on the side of your stove.  I've seen some with suction cups and a
belt like clip that is supposed to hold the door closed, but I am not

i dont know how to write this without getting into my personal life so
bear with me.  i know you guys arent doctors but hopefully you have some
advice.  my girlfriend found out she is 4 months pregnant.  she is

Any one know if there is any service that rents car seats from babys.
Something like a taxi service that brings the seat. I am thinking
about a plane trip. I would not like to have to take the seat with us
in the plane but I will whant to have it in the cab:)

How dangerous would it really be for me to cover up the grey in my hair right
now?  I'm 31 weeks pregnant and what I use is the Clairol Natural Instincts
(it's Level 2 and supposedly washes out in about 24 shampoos.).  It's bad
enough being pregnant and swollen without having yucky ...

Charlotte is just over a week old, and yesterday I noticed that I've
broken out in hives.  They're really bad around my abdomen and belly
button--the areas that had the most stretch marks.  But I also seem to
have them over my arms and legs as well.  I've been scratching my head

I like this woman, I really do, but I think I'm switching OB's anyway
because yesterday's visit was the last straw.
Making appointments has been difficult because they often won't see patients
during the few times I have a nanny or later during the day (later meaning

Yikes! I have avoided ice cream since I figured out it makes her spit up,
but now, she just went through another 2 days of volcanic activity-- the
only thing I hate a few hours beforehand was a seafood plate from a
restaurant- fried shrimp and fried oysters. I usually don't eat ...

My baby is 5 days old.  I have been told to feed on demand.  He seems to
want feeding all the time and will stay on the breast for an hour and more,
then an hour later will want to go on the breast again. The midwife agrees
he is latching on well and I have plenty of milk so how do ...
