I know that if I asked, I could be induced any time. Now you all know, and I know, that I don't really want to do that. But I am SO miserable. I can't sleep at night about half the time due to discomfort and panic attacks. I am so tired I can't do anything useful all day. I am depressed and...

I am not normal ;) But, that's ok. :) :) :) lol, Jill

....than children who are bottlefed and use pacifiers (dummies). No kidding. Italian researchers have found that babies who bottlefed or sucked on dummies were twice as likely to have crooked teeth as children who are breastfed. And apparently, breastfeeding protects against thumb sucking...

This post has a happy ending.... DR. SARAH SHRUGS AS LITTLE PENISES ARE RIPPED AND SLICED EN MASSE... British general practitioner Dr. Sarah Vaughan is *also* in effect shrugging as ADULT VAGINAS are sliced en masse - obviously criminally - as other crimes against babies are committed by her...

This is geared toward Mom's who have experienced both Natural childbirth and childbirth after having an epidural. I've recently taken a preparation for childbirth and I think that I'd like to try to go all natural without the pain medication from an epidural, simply because the epidural itself...

"Joybelle" wrote in message Now, I feel like I'm dealing with a whole different struggle, and I'm not sure how much easier it is. I feel rather stunned, overwhelmed, and I have so many negative and horrible thoughts sometimes, and I know it's normal, but it sucks. ...

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm 24.5 weeks along, and now starting to think about the birth experience. I am curious about the pain that I can expect (thinking I might do without an epidural but not sure). I have a pretty high pain threshold, particularly when I know that the pain is not...

I went to have my ultrasound yesterday and after the kid finally unclenched his legs we definitely saw a penis! It was definitely not the umbilical cord since the dr checked to see if there was any blood flow going on like it would in the cord. So, I am really excited and stunned. I feel...

DH just started a one-year post-doc at a company, and they want him to go to a training seminar in Las Vegas from Nov. 1-5 (I'm due Nov. 18). What would you all do?? On the one hand, it sounds like it would be really helpful for him -- since it's only a year position, he needs to get on...

I just fed Addie (6 months next week) her first rice cereal yesterday, which she seemed to take well. I gave her about 3-4 tablespoons of it. She actually ate most of it, rather than wear it. About 3-4 hours later, she was so incredibly cranky, for basically the rest of the afternoon. ...

.....#4 will be here. Ack! I feel like I should be doing something to get ready. The crib has been set up since, well, Charlotte was in it - lol. My mom is bringing my carseat when she comes Sunday. I washed my Bjorn and the bouncy chair cover. The little dresser is ready, with everything washed...

Hi! I was just writing a list of things we need to buy for baby (boy due Aug 7). I would really appreciate it if people could look over the list and add suggestions. This is our first baby, and I am wondering what really obvious things I am forgetting about/not realizing I will need. I am...

Ds and I were walking to the train on the way to my yoga class this afternoon when within say ten minutes not one, but two different complete strangers asked me was I having twins. WTF? And then after yoga class, one of the other pg women asked me "Do you know what you're having?" I said no, we...

I just wanted to put up a post that is *not* a lets-bash-the-bottle-feeders post. I do not want to participate in the other thread because I just *hate* jumping in as the sound of the minority (at least in that particular thread, I would be part of the minority). Heh heh. Anyway, I just want to...

I went for my second ultrasound today. The first one did not show anything, because I was too early. Today, I was 6 weeks 2 days. We were able to see both babies. Yes, both. We're having twins!! We saw their heartbeat. They are measuring at exactly 6 weeks 2 days, and my due date is still...

I had my first appointment today, doing all the paperwork, and one of the papers was a consent form to be tested to see if I'm a carrier of CF. I did not have this test with my last pregnancy (2001). When did they start doing this, and why? I did not sign the form. I will wait till my next...

I have to complain somewhere. Lucky you guys - lol! I belong to a July due date group and the women there are all posting about how huge they already are, that they're wearing maternity clothes??!!!! Okay, according to Baby Center's pregnancy week by week info the baby is all of the size of an...

Is it possible for the baby to strangle herself while moving around so much? My girl keeps tossing and turning and I'm getting worried b/c I read that the umbilical cord is about 20'' long by now. ~Carol Ann www.bestinatlanta.com/mybaby.html
