Do they not make it anymore or what?  They don't have it at Wal-Mart or Kroger,
and since I only buy the one box right before I have a baby, it's been more
than three years since I was paying attention. :-)
Yes, I know it's not strictly necessary--it's just a kind of little ...

I have been lurking/occasionally posting to this group since I was pregnant
with DS #1 4 years ago.  I remember some of the people who still post :)
A little background... I'm 28 currently have 2 little boys Tim (3.5) and Sam
(2).  I am now between 8 and 9 weeks pregnant with #3.  ...

Things about being pregnant I am tired of:
Having nothing to wear.  Yesterday I had to go out and buy size 12 underwear!
I normally wear 7s, and the biggest I have ever worn in a previous pregnancy is
10!  I also had to retire my second to last pair of shorts because they hurt my

As I realise that I have only 2 months to go, I thought I'd start buying a
few extras so as not to break the bank in the last week or 2.  So far my
list consists of sanitary pads, breast pads (I have reuseable ones, but I'll
get one packet disposables for early on) and zinc and ...

DD is at a bit of a clingy stage.  When we go somewhere new, she'll hug
mummy till she gets her bearings, then settle in just fine.  People are now
starting to label her as shy, which I believe is totally wrong.  She loves
people, and will wave and say hello to everyone she sees in ...

I was thinking about birth plans the other day, and basically my ideas
consist of who to have at the birth and what interventions to have (none in
my case) - and that is about it.  I know my midwife will discuss this with
me next visit, but I'd like to be a bit more prepared.  ...

I went to the hospital today because I was concerned about decreased
movement in the baby.  I was hooked up to the moniter for a Loooonnng time
because the Dr.'s had a few emergencies while I was there.  The graph looked
good though they said for 36 weeks, then the obstetrician came ...

im 33 weeks yesterday. my ultrasound at 20 weeks showed baby is breech.
trasverse i think its called where baby is sideways. baby is still that
way but his head on the opposite side which is good because i know he
has turned, but hes been this way for quite some time now. my ...

I honestly feel cheated out of sleep.  The reason is really funny.
Tonight, I thought I would give DH a good night's sleep.  I had things I
wanted to do and things I needed to do, so I sent both of my men to bed
and then I got to work.  I figured I would stay up and wait for ...

If you have two children close in age and you nurse the first baby all
through your pregnancy and plan to nurse the second baby, do you have to
wean the first baby or do you nurse two at once? Just curious.

Can someone enlighten me? It's probably ridiculously plain and simple, but
pg has depleted my brain cells and I can't find the answer on the net.

Hi Michelle,
I found a website with a free list of shea butter recipes...I just
sent them a request, so hopefully my recipes should be arriving
shortly.  I'll try posting them here, but if not, here's the website

Ok just a quick question, I have bought the EPO gel capsules 500 mg. I have
read to insert them vaginally at bed time, how far back do I need to get them
in? I know I can't reach my cervix, so will it be ok if I just get them back as
far as I can?

He just bit me on the boob - hard !
I looked down and he was smiling at me, and I thought "awww, it was an
accident", so I fed myself to the shark again, only to be rewarded with
another hard chomp and an even bigger grin.... hmm

My wife is going through what can only be described as wicked hip pain
she cannot sleep and cannot find any kind of comfortable position
I massage it and it helps for a minute or so then it comes back
anyone have an idea how to fix this or even ease it a bit for her?
