to cut a long story short, i had arranged a homebirth with the only midwife
able to service my area, but due to problems with her daughter, she can no
longer be my midwife. i am currently attending my backup hospital for
midwife/OB appointments until i decide what i will be doing ...

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendation for a reputable doula
in the Phoenix/Chandler/Mesa/Tempe/Gilbert area in AZ?   I had a great
doula when I had my daughter...but she's no longer working now.
Thanks!

I still plan on having a homebirth, but my I needed to find a backup doctor.
On Friday, I met her, and I must say I think she's wonderful!  And if I do

I had my amniocentisis today.  The first test that takes 45 mins said that
it wasn't going to happen.  Thank goodness they do a second test on the

situation and though it was obvious she wasn't going to get ...

On last October when  I had my second kid born in c-section I had my tubes
tied. Could I get pregnant? I haven't got my period this month (It comes
pretty much on time, the last three anyway) and I feel sick to my stomach
for the last week. Could I be pregnant?

    Hmmm...in light of recent research showing that oxytocin

a single dose of inhaled oxytocin made study subjects far more

haven't felt my girl move much at all.
Is this a problem at all? Someone said she will kick my ribs more which is

For the last few weeks the outer area of my vagina (just inside the
hair line) has been extremely irritated.  It is red and very itchy.  It
