Boys to men minus dad
Single mothers can raise boys just fine -- and maybe even better than
families with moms and dads, psychology professor and gender scholar
Peggy Drexler says in a new book.

I am writing in hope that someone can please give me an advice.
I am 10 weeks pregnant. It is my first pregnancy. My husband and I have
been unsuccesfully trying to get pregnant for almost two years. Then we
had 2 IUI's and the second one worked.

Hi! Just looking for feedback from others who have experience in this
realm...
We just found out that baby #2 is going to be a girl, and we have a 28
month old son. What have been other people's experience having siblings

Time for me to head off, I think.  DS2 is just over 3 months old and I'm
having trouble keeping up with all my groups!
I'll be in mkb and mk if anyone wants to ask about eclampsia or PE.
Best wishes to you all!

Hi there again,
A couple of months ago I posted a message regarding my alcohol
consumption before I realized I was pregnant.
I had 3 drinks on gestation (post-conception) day 14, 4 drinks on

Just some reflections as I wait out these last days/weeks.
First, one of my favorite "factoids": there is a sixth sense,
called "proprioception", which is our sense of where our
own bodies are and what we're doing.  But, it doesn't seem

each month i get bigger my boyfriend and i enjoy every bit of it. the
babies movement, each doctor visit hearing the heart beat and

by October. Bah!

I decided to opt out of the early screening tests.  Since I already know I
won't have the amnio and since I'm advanced maternal age (ha!) I just felt
like the screenings would probably come back as high risk no matter what so
I'd just skip the anxiety.  :-)

google threw nothing up does anyone know anything, my doc mentioned he'd
do a few blood tests if nothing changes, muttering about something that
can happen after a baby, any ideas?

My HMO will not allow me to change my obstetric care since I am beyond
my 6th month of pregnancy. It is due to their "global billing" process
that occurs with one bill that covers all prenatal care and delivery
sent by the ob/gyn to insurance after delivery. This is a money issue

My medical provider is an HMO, and recently they had a major flood occur at
my clinic when a large pipe ruptured.  Ever since then, I have had to be
seen in whichever clinic they had available, all over the Portland metro
area.

First let me apologise for not posting any earlier - it's been a traumatic
few weeks but now we're sort of back on track, so for those of you

Sometimes I get scared that if I ever get pregnant, I'll have to run into
the woods to have my baby!
I was visiting a mom from my church that just had her 2nd baby.  When he
