I've been seeing my regular OB/GYN practice during the pregnancy thus far,
which is fine but there are 5 docs in the practice who also share rotation

Since I posted a couple of weeks ago about my
mom's concerns that DS has had more than his fair
share of coughs/runnny noses, I've been tracking
his symptoms.   It seemed like a good idea to do

Addie had her 9.5 month checkup today, and was a real trouper.  19lbs 15oz
and 28 3/4 inches long.  She's in the 75-90th percentile for length and the
50-75th percentile for weight.  It's funny, Taylor was always in the 80-90th
percentile for both length and weight, so Addie ...

it's starting to worry me a bit.  I put on 2 kilos almost straight away -

Today we drove two hours to our perinatologist appointment.  I'm going

I have a rather small fibriod (size of a plum).  I'm 16wks now and I'll
have another u/s in a few weeks....I hope that it has not grown.  But I
just want to ask you all about delivery with a fibriod.  I've heard
many different things like a C-section must be done or natural delivery

I'm looking to put "Lentil" into daycare two days per week when my
maternity leave is up. (DH works part-time.) She'll be 3 months old at
the time. I've put my name on the waiting lists of the reputable day
care centers in the area, but I'm starting to get the impression that

I'm chuffed to say baby William was born at 8.50am Friday 8th July

Pain relief was tens machine, but due to stressed baby in final stages
