I had a friend who had a similar problem. It turned out she had scoliosis, so it had nothing to do with the epidural but was in the same spot and she didn't notice it until after she had the baby.

Yesterday, my 13-month-old baby girl was absolutely DEVOURED by mosquitoes. I set her down to play under a tree, saw her in a cloud of what I thought were gnats, went to pick her up, and she was...

This is kind of what I thought. The only thing I can think of is she was afraid to be held legally responsible somehow.

I was 3 cm dilated at 36 weeks; at 37 weeks I was 3 cm dilated and 100% effaced. Baby came 5 days later in 5 hours.

It was a yeast infection. She has some cream, she's eating yogurt, and the doctor said a bath with baking soda in it is soothing if she needs it. Whew! I still think it's more upsetting to me than it...

I braced myself and did a google image search. I strongly suspect that is what it is. Thank you so much! I've put in a call to the pedi and they'll see her in half an hour.

1-Why do you cloth? To save $$. I got a bunch of prefolds at my baby shower and decided to put them to use.
2-Is it sanitary or does it get messy? We have way fewer leaks and blowouts in the cloth...

My LO has had some minor diaper rash the last few days. It started after she ate lima beans for the first time, so we've nixed those and have been using A&D diaper cream and it seems to have been...

Yeah, it seems like 1 nap's not enough and 2 is too many. I'll try the keeping her awake longer in the morning thing.

Until about a month ago, Kara would go to sleep between 7 and 8, wake up twice during the night to nurse, then wake up for the day around 6:30 or 7. She'd have one nap if it was an hour and a half,...

Just glancing at South Carolina's law, it doesn't seem quite as adamant as Wisconsin's--just that a mother may breastfeed a child where she is authorized to be (and I guess it's not impossible to say...

So, I have an honest question, not a smart-alec one: what does it really mean to have the right to breastfeed in public?

I keep reading stories about women who are kicked out of places for...

I've DEFINITELY gone through it. I don't have any real advice accept to keep offering, though--Kara did it for about 3 days right about that age, and then one morning just accepted like there'd never...

I've been on it since my 6-week checkup. It was very mean to me for a couple weeks, then it's been fine, I assume because my hormones were different since I was nursing. But these past 7 weeks have...

The flushing comment was more a measure of my frustration than something I would actually do. :)

I haven't gone to my OB because I don't have insurance. :( I've been to the clinic before. They...

Hm. Ok. I guess I was just hoping that since breastfeeding seems to cause such hormonal havoc, maybe weaning would too. :shrug:

Hiya.

My baby's gonna be a year old on Monday, and she's been transitioning quite nicely to solid foods. I haven't been pushing weaning at all, but she really only nurses when she wakes up, when...

Can she take Azo? I get them all the time and Azo helps long before the antibiotics start kicking in.

It was terrible for me, but only for about 8 weeks.

The diaphragm looks lovely. I think I'll call the clinic and ask about that.

The nearest Planned Parenthood is 60 miles away and in a different state, but I have good friends in the area who could...

I am really seriously considering going off the Pill after I finish this pack in 2 weeks. I'm still open to any other contraceptive methods we might use. These hormones are driving me batty. :crazy:

My options for birth control are pretty limited. Let me tell you my history/write you a book, because that's just what I do. :laugh:

I can't have anything with estrogen because a) I'm nursing and...

This is what I sing to Kara.

That, and "Jesus Loves Me." I don't really know why I started singing that one, but it really seems to soothe her.
