My mom got me a Fashion Bug gift card to get some maternity clothes.  I
didn't even know they had maternity, hadn't been there in a while.  Just
thought I'd let you all know they are having a 60% off sale (not just
maternity, storewide).  The 60% is even for stuff that was ...

Hi, I am 28 weeks pregnant, had a BP reading of 120/96 at the Dr's
office and was sent to the hospital for tests (blood test, bp every 10
minutes).  While at the hospital the blood pressure dropped a little
but still remained a little high.  My Dr scheduled a 24 hour urine

Taken today in my garden (aka the wild, untamed, desperately in need

We had our baby boy on 19th January at 10.38pm, weighing in at 7lb 3oz and
measuring 52.5 cms in length. He was a little over two weeks early.
My waters broke at 6pm and we arrived at the hospital at 6.30pm. I have
speedy labours and this was my sixth baby, so speed was of the ...

Hi Everyone I live in Canada but my daughter lives in England. I would
love to have a baby shower for her, she will have her baby (my
granchild) around July 4th.  do you think it would be appropriate to
hold a shower when she wont even be at the shower...I have never been

I have been having horrible night sweats since my baby Noah was born last
week.  I had experienced a great deal of edema throughout the pregnancy,
starting around 5 months and peaking after the birth of the baby.  Now my
legs and feet seem to have returned  to normal, and I am still ...

Can those of you who know about these things take a look at this site
http://www.milkface.com/slingsandcarriers.asp and tell me which
sling(s) you think are good? I kinda want to order from them 'cause
they're local.

I have an ethical dilemma and I am wondering if anyone here might have
any opinions/experience on it.  I have a job interview coming up for a
company that I would really like to be working for.  My wife is due
with our first in three weeks time.  Do I volunteer this information at

I'm in the middle of my 26th week and for the past few days, during
sex, my husband and I have noticed a very strong, odd odour coming from
my vagina. I've also been itchy, though I have no discharge or fever.
Should I be worried? Could this be vaginosis?

When did you start wearing maternity clothes?  I'm 12 weeks along, and
I'm at that point where my normal clothes are uncomfortable (usually
too tight across my abdomen, although they're starting to pull in other
places, too), but I look like a kid playing dress-up in the maternity

I've had a phone call today from the doctors to say the hospital had rung them and want a whole host of blood test re-doing.
Apparently my CRP test was over 50 and 5 or lower is normal.

Baby out yesterday.  Boy 11 pounds.  No &%!@ attendant thus no coached
pushing in stupid positions!  Actually there was no real pushing just
ejection, although I did try to get him out between the contraction that got
out the head and the next one when he birthed, because I was a ...
