My wife began spotting 1 week before her period was due to start.  She
is on birth control pills and her periods have been regular since
starting the pills many years ago.  Is this an indication that

Hello, all.  This is my first post in this group, although I've been
lurking here for a while.
I just tested positive on the home pregnancy test.  This is very
exciting news.  However, I have the following concern:  For the last

Hi y'all!
I saved a whole bunch of threads on cloth diapers and was going though
them last night, as we are preparing to move Sophie into cloth just as

Hello again
We've just finished the antenatal classes and one thing that wasn't covered
was breathing during labour...

My mom and step-dad bought Taylor a table and chairs from Pottery Barn Kids,

Something strange just happened, and I'm not sure if it's good or bad... : /
A few times, but not many, Taylor has thrown such hissy fits that I've held
her tightly to me, pinning her arms, and repeated "Calm down.  Calm down.

Hi y'all, happy Christmas/Solstice/Yule!
Sophie is two weeks old now and is suffering from newborn congestion,
which I understand is normal, but she is so stopped up and miserable!
It's gotten worse over the last few days because we've had the heat on

I recently had a loss at 17 weeks, and had to go through labor and birth
at the hospital.  
As I was recovering on the bed afterward, the research OB came in to
talk to us about the study he was doing. We'd already said we would

Ok,
This is getting annoying and I just need to update everyone anyway.  Since

Hmmm . . . google won't let me post a response to messages. Weird.
Thanks so much, everyone, for the replies! We've tried him on all

I didn't know to avoid feta cheese!!  I am about 3 weeks pg and had a Greek
salad yesterday.  Today I've felt like I'm coming down with a cold which is
probably unrelated.  How much danger is it that I had one salad with feta on
it?

My wife is at 36 weeks and is being monitored for preclempsia.  She had high
blood pressure and protein in her urine and swollen ankles and feet 2 weeks
ago.  Last week, her BP was back down and no protein was present.  Yesterday
she developed what she thought was a urinary tract ...
