My 6wk ol baby boy Everett dob 10/30/06. Is not sleeping much, it seems to
me that way anyways, compared to my older children when they were that
age. How much sleep should he be getting right now? I'm hoping he will be
sleeping through the night soon(he does sleep at night, just ...

I'm bringing dinner for a family with a new baby next Tuesday; does
anyone have any suggestions?  I don't want to do Italian, since I think
that's what most people bring... probably because it's easily
transportable and re-heatable.  ;)  Any other meals fit those criteria?

I had a detailed ultrasound done today and the radiologist reported my
cervix was a bit shortened. She called my OB to let her know, and said
I might be put on bed rest, but the OB would discuss any course of
action with me.  I had the OB appointment immediately following, and

I'm about 14 weeks now and trying to convince myself that the morning
sickness might go (preferably by Christmas). I'm much better than I ever was
with #2, which I suspect means it's a boy. But I was convinced #2 was a boy
so I'm perhaps not the best judge of that.

Well tommorow morning we pick our daughter up and she doesnt go back to FC

not sure how she'll settle but i'm sure everythign will be ...

So I'm lieing on the physicians table, prepped for an injection into my
symphysis pubis, they have to numb the skin and other tissue above the joint
with local anaesthetic, they tell me it will hurt, like a bee sting, I don't
think I've ever been stung by a bee though, first ...

Hi everyone. I have been off on maternity leave for a year ( I am in Canada)
and go back tomorrow. My baby was in NICU for two weeks and the longest I've
ever been away from her was the other day when I went to get my  hair cut
(two hours or so). I am dreading tomorrow and sure I ...

I now have a edd: 14th June. And #3 has all limbs :-)
When I had the 12 week scan with #2 she didn't stop moving at any stage, all
her limbs going full time. With this one s/he moved one hand slightly. The
u/s person said that baby was probably just having a peaceful moment.

I'm going for a full GTT on Friday. Anything I should know before hand to try to ''avoid'' being put on insulin shots again !!

I really need an answer to this question ASAP!!! I consumed a glass of
vodka cocktail on 4th day of my periods. I am trying to concieve. Can
this small liquor affect my child if I get pregnant this cycle? My
cycle is 26-30 day long. I did not yet have sex - how long does the

for 5 days off and on after the d andc , and then just barely spotted,
then last wednesday, bled a bit heavier off and on. but  then on

I asked several nurses in the hospital and also our brand new
pediatrician about a soft squishy area on my newbord daughter's head.  
They all assured me that it is a Cephalohematoma and nothing to worry
about.  I asked again at the 5 day checkup at the pediatrican's office

I just found out today that I'm pregnant...again!  I have 3 beautiful
girls, 9, 3, and almost 3.  I'm having all kinds of mixed emotions.  I
thought I was through and 1-2 years out of the terrible toddler stage.
We were planning to move to NC where I was on the long awaited road to

I'd like to pick up a fetal heart monitor simply for the joy of hearing
our unborn child in the womb.  I've found several ultrasound units on
the web that you can rent for around $25 a month, and I found one
ultrasound unit I could buy for $115:
