 I have a baby girl  born the end August (she is almost 6 months now).
I've been nursing exclusively although she has started a little cereal
and baby vegs.  I also try to pump once or twice a day.  My Husband is
away on military duty so I was not really concerned when the obgyn ...

...our first pregnancy, the mom is 41, and we are ten weeks in. Went
for ultrasound last week and saw the newcomer, 2.5cm long... at first
the MD thought it was twins but it's not... we saw the heartbeat and I
thought it looked like it was taking after my grandfather! (same brow).

babysitters nationwide! All you have to do to enjoy the reliable

I'm due in about 3 1/2 weeks with #2, and I am terrified about the
labor.  Last time I was just fine, a little nervous sometimes, but no
doubt that it was going to be fine.  This time I'm losing sleep over
the pain that I'm about to go through.

I was asking last week about fibroids, since my obstetrician was putting
them forward as a reason for "getting the baby out". He hadn't told us much
about them earlier, so I didn't know much about the fibroids I was supposed
to have. So at this morning's consultation, I asked him ...

So I had my 32 week appt yesterday (31w4d) and was told that two
consecutive times I've measured 3 weeks ahead of where I should be. Now
I'm measuring at 34, and at my 28wk appt I was measuring 31. So they're
sending me for an u/s (Tuesday) to get better size/dates.  Now this

Hello everyone.  I am almost 35 and I am trying to decide whether or
not I should have a baby.  I simply can not make this decision and I
don't know what to do.
My husband is definitely on board and has been for some time now.  He

Tonight we went for our ECV consultation (for 40 week, 3 day baby in a
transverse lie) and low and behold, our baby is VERTEX (head down!!!).
This is great news, and we are so thankful!
We have some more questions for all of you...any advice would be greatly

I'm going a little bonkers trying to get this figured out.  If I convince dh
I'll go the prefold route with covers.  I want to get some Velcro covers,
mostly for dh. Proraps seem to be a middle of the road price and get good
reviews.  I will live with pins and pull-up pant style ...

can anyone point out a good site to read ratings for child car seats, or
offer up their recommendations?
i'm due in july but just wanting to plan ahead.
thanks much!

My husband and I try for a baby for 5 months, but I am not still
pregnant. Most of
the weeks we have sex 1 time or ( very rarely we had it 2 times),

I am the father of a wonderful 2 year old boy who was born with
Symmetrical IUGR.
When he was born, he was 3 lbs even, 16 inches long and what we thought
was 2 weeks early. A profile ordered by our doctor detected symptoms of

any recommendations for an infant car seat? i'm due in july and trying to
get a jump start.
thanks!

I haven't posted here too much this time around, but I've read a lot and
really really need some support and advice right now.
Friday (yesterday) was my due date...I had an appointment with our
doctor and was so thrilled because everything was going so well.  I've

For those of you who followed my post about being scheduled for a
c-section tomorrow for a baby that's in a transverse lie, we've had a
bit of a breakthrough in our search for a doctor that will consider
doing an external version.  I really could use some advice from any of
