Is it extra magnesium and Vitamin B that I need to take to prevent leg cramps
at night?  A couple of nights ago I had a Charley Horse so bad that it woke me
up yelling!  I physically could not flew my foot to make it stop--John had to
do it for me.  I am still limping.

I got a pink line!!!  I've been feeling
nauseous since 4 dpo, we tested tonight...
Last Friday's (11 dpo) negative
notwithstanding, it's 19 dpo and

My period just showed up, so I guess I'm not pg.  So much for intuition,
eh?!  Anyway, I don't know if we will try to conceive any time soon, though,
I would love to.  I think my hubby still has to come around to the idea of
#4.  If this had turned out to be a pregnancy, he was fine ...

I am now 37 weeks and one of my stretch marks has started to fill in with
scar tissue.  The stretch mark was really big and unsightly, but expected.
But scar tissue??  The scar tissue is now about 1/2 inch wide and 1+1/5
inches long, and that is a fair bit bigger than yesterday.   ...

We are looking at reusable nappies and have tried three different trial
packs out on our teddy bear (baby due in November!)
We are thinking of Bambino Mio. Can anyone who has used these give any
feedback??

Barring any other problems requiring the use of ultrasound to diagnose, how
many ultrasounds are usually given in a "normal" pregnancy?  I have no clue
why I was thinking this, but in my head I thought they would be ordered say
once per month after a certain point in pregnancy - ...

my pregnant wife works at a day care.  one of the babies in her class has
hand foot mouth.  i called her doctor to find out what she should do and
spoke
with the nurse on duty.  the nurse told her this is the same as fifths

I have an update that Jamie has asked me to post for everyone....
The Baby has Arrived - - at 8:38 pm pacific time. It was a very quick
labor indeed, since Lindsey's water broke at 3 pm.
Baby's stats are :

I just found out today that my doctor has ordered monthly injections (7 mos)
for my DD.  She was born at 33 weeks which is why she needs these
injections.  I've just done some reading up on RSV.  It said that fall thru
spring is the "RSV time" and that to prevent your infant from ...

My daycare provider told me yesterday that she is being audited in November,
and the new rules say that a child MUST have two Hepatitis B vaccine doses by
the time they turn 18 months old.  This is in New Hampshire- don't know if it's
a state rule or national.

we have the evenflo portabout carseat. my aunt gave it to us. i looked
it up on the internet and find that its not a good car seat to have.
plus we dont have instructions. we have decided to just buy a new one.
my question is what is a good car seat to buy, and an easy one to

I've had to join a new general practice now that we've moved.  The one
in our area is actually one I've worked at a couple of years back, when
I needed to do some videos of my consultations for an exam I was doing
and this practice was the only one in the area with a video camera ...

You are alone with your baby.
Suddenly an unexpected, a large monster with 126 hitpoints, AC -10 and
3D12 damage appears and wants to steal your baby.
What do you do?

What kinds of paternity leave do your partners get?  We just found out that
DH gets *one day* -- I was pretty appalled, but maybe that's standard?  
A woman in my prenatal yoga class said Google gives 2 weeks, AND they
provide all meals for those 2 weeks!  We were all exclaiming how ...

Our antenatal classes start next week, when I'll be 34 weeks.  This
sounded a bit late to me, as when I read about women going to antenatal
classes they all seem to start at an earlier stage.  I thought maybe it
was just because we'd just moved into the area, and maybe I'd missed ...
