Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / March 2009

I had been so delighted with my April 1 due date.  Seemed like the
perfect time to have a baby, the perfect timeframe in which to be
pregnant, etc.
But I live in Fargo, ND (USA).  It's a record flood here, and the

Today my neice had her second baby. It was a hospital birth. Every single
nurse who came in either asked if she wanted an epidural or tried to
convince her to have one, and when she turned it down they made a snotty
face and stupid jokes like, "If I had a nickel for every mom who ...

We have a week old newborn boy, and he has recently started having lots
of gas.  I was wondering if there is any home made solutions to this
problem.
Thanks,

Hi, I'm Jeff.  Just wanted to introduce myself to the group. How is
everyone today?

I was going to post this in mkb, but there doesn't seem to be many posters,
and I wondered if it could be related to Kieran's fussiness...
He had his first cold at about 2 weeks old, and he seemed to lose the baby
reflex thing of being able to feed and breathe at the same time. ...

I am so so tired. I thought I'd been tired over the last few weeks, but now
I'm exhausted. Kieran just seems to be sleep phobic, and I need advice!
Jessica was a perfect baby to get to sleep, and I think this is partly my
fault for not getting him straight into a routine. Well, kind ...

Just wondered if anyone's ever called Cry-sis? I'm thinking about it, but
not all together sure I can face it. Just wondered if anyone's called them
and how helpful they were?

I was worried when I saw the title of this pic was "why not to leave a
bull terrier with a child?"
But this is a great picture! Very Cute! Not sure that the dogs too
impressed tho, What do you think?

My neice is being induced Tues night/Wed morning and I and my MIL are the
chosen ones to attend the birth. I am so excited!! My dream is to be a birth
doula and I need to read up on this stuff before then. She doesn't do
epidurals so this will be the first natural birth I've seen ...

After a mostly lovely pregnancy (save the first three months of
feeling like sh*t) I am now feeling done-done-done.  I'd been getting
fairly uncomfortable for the last few weeks to month or so, but the
last week, it's like a whole different world.  My back hurts

Hi - I am new to this group.
I just wanted to find out from anyone here is they've come across any
products (OTC or other) that help with stretch marks and c-section
scars. I'm now 5 months post childbirth and am seeing things I don't

If you had a high-needs baby, and went on to have more children, were any of
them high-needs also? I had two who weren't high-needs, then my third was
high-needs. I think that scares me most about having another baby. I'm not
pregnant but I am thinking about it, but I'm just ...

Those few minutes you have with your loved ones in the morning are a
great time to give encouragement and compliments.
Give a parting hug or kiss that conveys “I can’t wait to be with you
again”

My computer died in the worst kinda way, but I'm back! Back, with an extra
babby! And, would you believe, me, the hater of mess, had a home birth!
Short story is Kieran David Joseph was born at 04.16 on Dec 10th at 41 weeks
gestation, weighing 8lb 15 1/2oz. He's blue eyed and ...
