I have rocked or nursed Hagan to sleep since we brought him home (he is about 2 1/2 months now) but was told by my doctor at his 2 month appointment to stop. She said the last thing he needs to remember is the crib, not me or my breast. Everyone else (SIL, friends, former co-workers) has told...

I know, this probably sounds silly but my dark line goes from right under my breasts all the way to my pubic area. Hagan is almost 2 months old now and the line is still as dark (and crooked) as it was months ago. Thank goodness it is not summer! How long did it take for yours to go away?

I have been researching this on the 'net and will call my doctor tomorrow but just wondered about what you guys dealt with when it came to this. Hagan will be 1 month tomorrow (time flies!) and still sleeps almost all the time. He slept from 8pm last night to 8:45 this morning with 5...

I have two questions for you brilliant Moms out there. First, does anyone have or has anyone heard of a baby that hates to be in the car? Hagan is only 3 weeks old but he screams anytime he is in his car seat in the car. He will sleep in it once we get somewhere but unless he is asleep...

I posted the link under "I had a...." but thought I would post here too. Hagan can be seen at growingfamily.com. Click on October 24th then Hagan B. under "Texas". We are in Austin. The password is Burnett. He has already changed so much!

BOY!! I am so surprised. I was sure I was having a little girl. Hagan Christopher was born on Monday the 24th at 5:18 am. He was two weeks early and 8 lbs. 4 ozs. We love him more than life itself! Breastfeeding is going well. The first few days were tough. My nipples were cracked...

I have been measuring large since week 24 so my doctor sent me to a radiologist yesterday for a more detailed u/s. Apparently I am not 30 weeks, 6 days. I am 33 weeks, 6 days!! My due date changed from November 4th to October 14th. I am so excited. The further from the holidays, the better...

I just love to rub on my belly but sometimes it is hard as a rock. I do not neccessarily feel anything but it is certainly different. Is this early contractions or something for which I should be worried? I see my doc next Monday and do not want to bug the nurse if it is totally normal...

I just had my 28 week appointment and had only gained 4 pounds this time so my doctor was happy (remember I got in trouble at 24 weeks for gaining too much). She did say however that I am measuring large and that I was at 24 weeks as well although I do not remember her saying that then. I...

Yep, I have gained too much. 20 pounds in 24 weeks. I have not been eating meat or veggies (just don't like them) and have been too tired to exercise so I guess it is no wonder. I do not feel heavy and do not look it at all either. I have no clue where the pounds are. I started under 120...

Does anyone ever notice a difference from day to day about how your baby moves? I have been feeling it now for about 4 weeks but it seems to be not moving as much or as strongly yesterday and today. I have felt it but it is more like little flutters and not true kicks or punches like it has...

Does or did anyone use a body pillow? I see a bunch on Babycenter.com but do not like all of the negative reviews, expecially since they are so expensive. Bed, Bath and Beyond has one for only $10 but I do not think it is the same as the ones I have seen online. Anyone have any recommendations?

I am only 9 weeks along and am already out of most of my pants. I only wear jeans and they are all just uncomfortable now. Did anyone have to get maternity clothes this early? I am trying to keep the news from everyone for another 4 weeks but do not think I will make it at this rate! I...

This is driving me nuts. I am only 7 weeks along yet I am already bloating up so much that some of my pants are not fitting. I am sitting here with my pants undone at work! I am not constipated, I have suffered from IBS for years and take fiber supplements and eat food with fiber so that can...

Yesterday was my first appointment. One hour with the nurse where I learned a lot then I met the doctor. My regular doctor recommended her and I am so glad because I just love her. I had the physical exam and she said all the signs were great. I then had a vaginal ultrasound (not expecting...

I can not believe it! I stopped taking the Pill after 16 years on 12/24 and according to my TCOYF chart, I conceived on 2/10. I took a test on my 18th high temp and it was positive. I have since taken three more and they all are positive as well. I just can not believe it! This will be...

Sandra, I have seen you mention doulas a few times on these boards and was wondering if you would not mind telling me how much one would cost. I have visited a site about them but am just curious about the cost. My husband and I live about 3 hours away from everyone and he does not want...
