usual, and one later because of my first birth almost nine years ago being a
9lb 8oz baby), the doctor acknowledged my opinion and then ...

Has anyone ever experienced this problem with Enfamil (powder formula):
I gave it to DD today - of course she only took a few sip before going
"yuk". About 3 minutes after drooling the formula, we noticed her chin and
the area around her mouth was all reddened and little pimples ...

My wife gave birth to our little girl in June 2004. Her periods resumed
7 months after the delivery. She has now just finished her second
period. However, her first two (and only) post-natal periods have been
extremely long (2 weeks) and more painful than usual.

Anyway I am reading there c-section guidelines in the hope of finding

I started going to a water aerobics class since I am feeling kind of fat and
clumsy.  I am just starting to get the feel of how to get a really good
workout in the water, and today the instructor pulls the rug out from under
me.  I guess she saw the belly and asked me if I were ...

I'll be 39 weeks on Sunday. For the past several days I've been having
intermittent crampy feelings low in my belly - not necessarily always
associated with contractions, although it's still hard for me to tell
that I'm having a Braxton-Hicks contraction without a lot of

OK, I know that it doesn't sound that bad but he's just coughing and
coughing and coughing.  He even threw up his lunch he was coughing so

not yet another "antidepressant moment" as were the majority of the others.
