Thanks to everyone who has replyed to my posting. I have good and bad news. The good news is that in desperation we grabbed the only formula in the house,Infamil Lipid milk based formula,last Tuesday evening. My baby has remained fussy, but he is not screaming bloody murder anymore, he is...

Please someone help me. I have another collicky boy. my 1st child was collicky for almost 5 months. I waited 4 years to have another because of this, and my second is collicky too. I am breastfeeding and have elliminated milk and gassy foods. I also have reflux medicine. But he just got...

Hi Nursing Moms, any advice on Nursing bras? I was a 32 B before pregnancy, but now I am probably a 32F, and I am only 5 1. I need one that is comfotable, but gives me some lift. Any advice? Also, can anyone tell me when my breasts will get smaller? With my first pregnancy I thought...

Hi again, I promise with my first child I didn't aggresively try to loose weight. I did nothing for the 1st 8 weeks,, and I am not a person who looses weight easily. I will say that I worked hard not to gain too much weight with both pregnancies. I gained 26 with my first and had lost all...

Hi, I have a baby that likes to be held, and I love to carry him, but I need my hands free. I have a baby bjourne that I used to get my colicky first child to sleep. But it hurt my shoulders and back, and I have heard it isn't good for baby's legs. My baby also weighs 6 lbs, so I can't use...

Me too. Without ever dieting in 8 1/2 months, I lost 20 of my 26 with my first child in 2 weeks. The last 6 lbs came of by 5 months. But at 8 months I had lost another 6 lbs. I was the thinnnest ever since highschool. However, I may have needed to hold onto some of it because my son weaned...

Briee, Thanks for the encouragement. Swimming has been a blessing. As most of us on this site, I am very active, but swimming is the only thing that is confortable to do. It is theraputic too. I have been co comforted to know that other women have lots of these crazy contractions that...

Hi, My son has been so excited about having a baby brother, but lately he has been throwing major tantrums. I thought it was because he was tired, but it has happened so many times that I wonder if it has to do with the arrival of the baby. He gets lots of love from us and we have made him...

Hi again, This is just an update since I first posted my concerns, which were when I was about 30 weeks. I am now almost 37 weeks and the BH/ False contractions haven't stopped; in fact, they have gotten worse. However, every time my doctors check me, there is no change in my cervix. I'm...

Briee, I look forward to hearing Julie's response. I'm wondering also if either of you had any bleeding. I just want to mention that aside from having numerous contractions when I exercise, my experience with contractions has been similar. Starting at about 6pm I have contractions all...

Julie, I can't believe what you went through. I certainly apprecaite you sharing your story. I will keep it all in mind in how I respond to my contractions. My dr called and said the test was negative, which is good news. He said I could resume light exercise. But he wants me to keep...

Thank you again Briee and Julie, Julie, Did your doctor say your cervix was changing, or was your dr just concerened with your contractions? Kathy

Julie and Briee, Thank you for sharing your experiences. Like Briee's 2nd doctor, my doctor believes what I'm experiencing is false contractions or braxton hicks and completely acceptable. He recognized my anxiousness over having constant painful contractions, so he did a cervical exam...

Oh that was a slip of the fingers. I was 36 weeks.

Hi there, Has anyone had excessive braxton hicks that you could sear were preterm labor? And have any of you been told not to exercise anymore because of too many braxton hicks? I am 31 weeks and I have been having constant braxton hicks since 28 weeks. This past week the contractions...

Hi, with the new SIDS guidelines, I am considering using a co-sleeper with my second baby. My first child slept in his crib fine for the 1st month, but he became colicky and it was difficult to get him to sleep anywhere. But we never had him sleep in our room, thinking we would sleep better...

Belle, Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Only another mother understands. I think I said I've decided just on amnio for the same reason. I'll have it in 3 weeks. Thanks again, Kathy

Thanks to all with your input. I meet with the genetic counselor today, so hopefully I will feel better informed to make decisions on 1st Trimester screening, CVS, and amnio. I still don't know what I'll do. Thanks again, Kathy

Hi to all moms over 35, who has had these screenings and tests? What can you tell me about the advantages and disadvantages? How did you decide which to have or not to have? Kathy

Hi, I also had to do this 4 years ago. I was an avid runner, but I had unbearable butt pain,, so I sttopped just when I got pregnant. Then after my baby was born I realized that almost all cardio was aggravating my condition. I upped my weights and decreased my cardio to an hour 2-3 days a...
