How much is too little?  He's definitely not moving so much lately, but

Being 2 months pregnant and only 22 years old i have many questions
about whats going to happen. I came accross this useful article by a GP
that answers those embarrasing q's!!!
Its all stuff like, Can you have sex during preg, What happens if you

My wife has been having cramps and bleeding for three days now. The OB has
come to the conclusion that  miscarriage is probable. My aife is just over 6
weeks. When she had the exam the DR. said that the cervix was still closed.
We know that she has an ovarian cyst and some ...

I'm just curious.
I can see the health need if a pg goes *too* long, like more than 42
weeks, or if there's some particular risk to the baby because of the
mom's health status, but it seems induction happens *a lot* these days.

My wife is 9 months pregnant with our 3rd child. This is a happy time
and unfortunately a stressing time. We always seem to have a dispute
over choosing godparents.  I have a younger brother and sister. My wife

that you wrap around you and the baby). I saw my neighbour using that and I

I have got a horrendous cough which is being treated but are my stiched save
as I am now getting scared that this amount of coughing and the pressure is
going to tear my stitches!!!!!

Wow, I've just had the best possible news. I just came back from the
specialist and he now believes my chances of conception are the same as any
other fit and healthy woman without endo. I've been bawling like a baby I'm
so happy and so overwhelmed. Also DH just got his results ...

Yesterday I visited your MyFamily site.  GREAT pics, btw!
I saw a name near and dear to my heart... one of my fav authors, Sue
Grafton.  Last night I started reading P is for Peril and saw the name
Jamie Clark in the acknowledgements.  Coincidence, or...?

Holly is feeding really well and gaining nicely. She is now taking 150 ml
per serving usually. My question is, does it ever even out where they start

I don't know if you guys remember our weird DMV poltergeist issue.  We moved
from our old house in City A 4 years ago, to our current home in City B.  We
filled out all appropriate change of address forms with the DMV and went
