Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / June 2007

I've been lurking for a while, and finally dared to post... sorry my
English, it's not my mother language! ;-)
I'm in my 25th week of pregnancy and I've started to feel pain in my breasts
since about 2 weeks ago.

Ack...DD, 3, has still been crawling inbed with me. I have let her all this
time but now that I am pregnant and she's over 3, it's really not a good
idea for the family anymore because she's getting to where she stays awake
way too late and it's affecting my sleep, and I want to ...

Here's the interesting article I mentioned in your post asking about the
father-baby/mother-baby relationships.
HTH!
How Fathers, As Male Parents, Matter for Healthy Child Development

My wife and I have a newborn, well 10 days old now. I'm wondering if
there is a more efficient way to change diapers. When he poops, it
gets all over his butt, as expected. Than you go to change him and
have to use a bunch of baby wipes.

I've noticed that my interaction with our new baby is very much
different than my wife's interaction. She is much more "googoo gaagaa"
and "here cuttie" while feeding while I'm more "get down to business"
type.  Also, the crying seems more bothersome to me than to her.

I'm due to give birth in October, and I'm thinking of taking Lamaze or
having French birth (or water birth).  Has anyone tried either of
these birthing methods?  How was your experience with it?
Thanks,

I am looking for any advice on how I can get my 10 month old to sleep
through the night, he currently wakes up every 1-2 hours. He will not
sleep in his cot for longer then 20 mins so I am forced to let him
sleep with me so I at least get some sleep. I am always so tired and

A quick question for all of you ladies who have had a c-section -- how long
were you on prescription medications after the surgery?  Longest or
shortest?
Thanks.

hi, i had a tear which required a lot of stitches during
delivery.apart from the first week after, they are not painful &
appear to be healing well. a month has passed now and my midwifes
recomendations are still that i avoid lifting heavy things.

i am still a bit worried about going out with our 3wk old. i would
like to go shopping but am concerned the air con levels at the mall
are too cold.
am i being irrational? and is a month old baby significantly at more

As some will know my sister in law was due on June 3rd but baby was breech
and they were going to do a c section. Well luckily (or not as sister in law
wanted a c section) baby turned and c section was cancelled and she was sent
home.

I don't have the time to dwell on this pregnancy like I did with #1 and it's
really obvious. I had names picked out the first week and all this shopping
to do and started working on the nursery. This time around, I figure we'll
wait until about 8.5 months and throw something ...

how funny...after reading "beyond the pale"'s earlier post about baby names
i felt compelled to write!!
i am 28wks pregnant with #2, out daughter is 6.5 so you can imagine that
while this pregnancy is a massive gift to us (some in the group may remember

Well, we've had the scan and it looks like all's going well - No. 2 is
due at the end of November.  ;-)
All the best,

The DW's parents live 15 minutes away, so they have seen our DS a few
more times than my parents, who live 2.5 hours away, only saw DS after
delivery.
So we're planning to visit my folks around July 4th and do an over-
