Well, I saw my OB today.  Based on the ultrasounds I have had done, pelvic
pain, and heavy periods, he told me I have adenomyosis.  He told me this
should not cause a problem for future pregnancy, but I am a bit worried, and
have read mixed things on the internet.  Does anyone here ...

    I just had a delightful surprise and posted about it buried in
another thread, but figured it was worth a little more attention.  If
you haven't been to the Maternity Wise website, it's really worth the

I'm breastfeeding Emily Rose (now 2 weeks and 6 days) and she seems to want to feed constantly over the last few days.
I think it may be a growth spurt but feeding hourly is killing me !!
So any tips on getting her to sleep at night instead of during the day, and getting her to ...

I went for a repeat x-ray and I have actually broken 5 ribs. They tested my
urine and said it had traces of blood, but not to worry unless I start
seeing blood in it or my liver hurts then I must go back.
It took 14 hours for me to be able to pass urinne after the accident, and it ...

Ava's birth story really begins before Ava begins.  It was my first 2
births that grew in me the desire to have a natural and unassisted
birth.  With my oldest dd Caitlin I had a hospital induction and with
my 2nd dd Bess I did have an unassisted birth at the hospital,

Well, after two days in labour, my cervix stopped dilating at 9.5cm and
oxytocin wouldn't help. So, I opted for a C-Section at that point. It was a
long, painful, and slow two days! Anyhow, at 3:15 on Thursday, May 12,
Cory-James (CJ) entered our world. He's a perfect little guy ...

Hi all...
I'm 33 weeks now, and having big problems staying motivated at work.
I'm already not sleeping and my interest in starting projects I won't
be around to conclude, or that require a lot of thought and energy, is

Ok ladies and gents, I have a question for those of you, who have used midwives. This is my first time using a midwife and am relatively happy with the experience so far. Actually didnt have much choice since they were the only ones who could get me in for a couple mo nths ...

we were going to have anymore. Our house isn't really big enough, I
don't know if I can handle another child, and we are starting a new

Today we bought a travel system and put together the stroller for our first
two legged child.  Our four legged "kid" helped us test the stroller to make
sure its safe for the baby.  Kinda cute:

Hi - just wondering if anyone out there can offer words of
encouragement for a trip I have coming up where I will be flying alone
at 5 months pregnant.
My husband and I were supposed to go to a wedding in Houston with our
