there's so many "rules" for food in pregnancy, i get confused. and they
seemed to have changed a bit since DS.

Hi all. I am new to the group. My name is Kimberly. I am mother to three
wonderful little boys. I am now expecting again. I will be 7 weeks tomorrow.

So at my appointment today, I asked my doctor what my options for
medicinal pain relief during labour were.  He told me:
1. Epidural (which I've had)
2. Demerol (which he didn't recommend)

Back from a regularly scheduled OB visit today.
This morning I got up to pee at 5:45 am, and discovered
some blood.  Grrr.  Just yesterday I was congratulating
myself on not having been spotting for a while.

Been trying to figure it out.
Thanks!

So the other day DS and I were at the grocery
store, and he spotted Nemo cereal -- like Lucky
Charms with Nemo & friends shaped marshmallows.
He said "Mommy, why does that cereal have Nemo

Ericka -- I know you said you vaccinated your kids -- did the vaccines have
thimerosal in them, or were they the thim.-free brands?  And did you get

Hi - has anyone had primary postpartum haemorrage (pph) before with one

without any pph?
What is the risk of dying with pph in the western world? Is it quiet

give me something for the sickness.  the nurse had to stick me twice to
get my blood results.  I gained 3 more lbs.  I also had another

All,
Well, well, well... life here has been interesting, to say the least.  You
may remember that we all had colds a month ago, which turned into pneumonia
in Taylor and double ear infections for Addie.  We had to do a 10 day round

So yesterday I asked DS for a hug.  He said he had
just one more, and gave me a hug.  Then he said he'd
go get a new package, so I could have more. :)

Can anyone tell me where on my body I have to put the patch?  My
husband picked up my prescription today so I don't know if it has any
instructions.  The doctor said I MUST put it on tonight and of course

saw this article, unfortunately I started to disagree with it fairly
quickly, at the pram/pushchair line, I'm not a totally comitted APer or baby
wearer, but the pushchair didn't get used for over 2 weeks and only ...

If this baby doesn't show up soon, my family will disown me. I've been in
full meltdown all day. Then again, NOTHING has gone right today. Thank god
February is almost over, I've never gotten the hang of it, not ever. Hell, I
even fought with dh today, which is pretty damned ...
