Thank you for the pic. I'm glad I stopped by APA today. Hugs, momma. Your boys are beautiful.

Yeah, our teacher was a little weird. I used the Mongan method and we talked about being able to use the relaxation techniques in all situations. My heart rate got going pretty fast a couple times...

I used hypnobirthing for my second labor/delivery. The most valuable thing to me was learning how to relax my body. I used rainbow relaxation every night for months and when I went into labor I knew...

I'm so sorry. I just wanted to say that the reason I wished that I had known more and not had the D&C was because it can cause scarring and it's a risk factor for retained placenta (which I had with...

I used it orally and vaginally with my dd. I was already 4 cms when I went into active labor (at 39w6d). WAY different from ds1. With him I wasn't even 1 cm at 40 weeks. He was born at 40w3d. Could...

My first pregnancy was a mmc. I opted for the d&c because I was scared of waiting. If I'd understood the risks better I would have gone the route you are going, but it does suck to have to wait it...

A little off topic, but in my state teachers have a 9 month contract and they usually do spread the checks out over the whole year. Dh works for a charter. He has a little less than 2 months off in...

You deserve two of these: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

She's sweet, Robin. :hugs: Glad things are going well at home, despite some challenges.

Well, both you and the dr/ultrasound tech/nurses are using averages for the due date. Using the first day of your last period to come up with a due date assumes that you have an average cycle. Unless...

There are so many reasons that it is hard to lose a baby. There is so little that we can use to console ourselves and there are so many "why's" that don't get answered. My faith is what has gotten me...

Ok, well those are some symptoms that would lead you in a different direction. Hope he feels better soon.

I'm not sure what I'd do about the meds and fever, but my dd had only a temp and it also topped out at 102 and poor eating as symptoms (but she's not a good eater, also.) I didn't figure it out until...

I charted for about a year (from when ds was about 18 months until he weaned at 30 months) and my lp was shortest at the very end, I believe. Even the month that he only nursed like once a week. The...

Thanks for updating. I was wondering how it was going. Super job!

:cry:

I don't have tricks, but a little caffeine did help me if I caught it early. I don't really consume any ever (i.e. no coffee or soda w/caffeine)...that may make a difference on the effectiveness. My...

First, I just wanted to offer some :hugs: It was so frustrating for me to feel like I had to fight drs/nursees to breastfeed ds when he was in the NICU. Even when you KNOW what you want, they really...

:hugs:

No day off here. Today is Leif Erikson day...he's regarded as the first European to "discover" North America. :)

So glad you got some positive news. I hope your 20 u/s also provides better than expected news. :hugs:

:cry: I'm so so sorry about the rough appointment. Don't worry if it takes some time to process it. It always took me a few days (or a week or two weeks) after a bad appointment...and some of them...

back when ds moved up to being a nursing toddler. I had plenty of support to breastfeed when he was a baby, but moved into unfamiliar territory when nursing him after a year. I'm so glad I followed...

Yes, I don't know that it's illegal, but I would consider sleeping someone in a room without two exits unsafe.

I agree with the other ladies. If there are 3 bedrooms it seems like there is more...

WHAT?!? I'm glad you don't have to see that nurse again. :ohno: Hopefully the specialist's nurses will have more experience being compassionate. So are you going to see the specialist for all your...
