~Bridget~ - Thursday, 6 Mar Well my a/f arrived yesterday.. New start. Thanks for the info, I thought something was wrong with that. When she told me that I felt so empty. Then I read about all these women on here that made it so I figured there is something wrong with that percent. That's good news..
Danielle M - Saturday, 1 Mar Hey Julia, thanks for writing back. I am so glad everything is working out well with you. Things here are going well also. It is funny because Owen slept through the night, just like Emma for about a week and a half and now he is back to getting up 2x to eat, once around 2 and then again around 5 or 6. Are you breastfeeding? I am and I feel like I am always doing it. I supplenment with formula and I am about ready to give him cereal because it seems like he is always hungry! His dr, does not recommend it until 4 months but I may just use my motherly instincts and give it to him sooner....lol! I think once he starts eating cereal he will starts sleeping through the night. Also he is sleeping in the car seat because that is where he sleeps the best....lol, what a kid! Oh and I definetly don't think you have lost you mind with trying for another one already. We aren't necessarily trying right now, but I have been thinking that I want another one soon! Hey why start getting used to sleeping through the night, right? My as well have the babies close together so we don't get to spoiled sleeping throught the night and not having any dirty diapers to change right.....lol!! Well, it was great to hear from you and please keep in touch. I would love to hear how Emma is doing:) Talk to you soon! Danielle
~Bridget~ - Saturday, 1 Mar Hi just wondering how you are doing??
number5forme - Friday, 29 Feb Hi, I had 5 pregnancis that I had no problems in getting pregnant though I did have 2 m/c.After giving birth to my 3rd child I started having irregular periods (after 14 months with no period at all. I put up with this for several years and then decided to check it out. I was then diagnosed with POCS and told that if I wanted more children I would need fertility drugs. My husband and I decided to try anyway and fell pregnant in the FIRST MONTH! I am now pregnant again and though I had another m/c before this one Both pregnancies happened WITHOUT HELP and in a very short time. Of course everyone is different and I wish you luck. I hope this information is helpful to you.
Danielle M - Thursday, 28 Feb Hey there, Julia. It's Danielle. We were talking before our babies were born and then all of the messages got erased so I lost your page and I just realized that I could do a search and found you. So how is motherhood going?? How is your little girl? I hope all is well. Keep in touch. Danielle
~Bridget~ - Wednesday, 27 Feb Hi, no I never even heard of that! Thanks for the tip I will look it up..
TeresaS - Tuesday, 26 Feb Im so glad Im not the only one dealing with this! Yeah, last night she was up again at 2:30 and 4:30 and 6:30!! Im going crazy and so tired! Hopefully they will realize how wonderful sleep is agian!
Randi - Monday, 25 Feb I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18. I had my first baby on my own, after being told I would have to see a fertility specialist. We actually found out I was pregnant at the first specialist visit! My second baby, and the one I am pregnant with now, was with the help of metformin (Glucophage). Metformin treats the symptoms of PCOS.

micki - Saturday, 23 Feb Hi I just saw your post and Im having the same type of period. Ive read that its pretty normal for your first period to be very heavy and painful. Im using the giant pads that they sent me home from the hospital with. I dont know if it makes a difference, but I had a c-section too. Good luck!
armywife63 - Friday, 22 Feb Yeah, my first post-baby period was horrible too. It was super heavy and totally wiped me out. It reminded me very much of the postpartum bleeding, which surprised me because I'm back on the pill. I foolishly thought being on the pill would've saved me. I hope next month's cycle is a little better for both of us.
newmama! - Friday, 22 Feb Julia, even though i am breastfeeding I got my period back really early and it was heavy. It was almost as heavy as my postpartum bleeding. Thankfully, in the following months it has really lightened up. I wouldn't worry about it. Your body and hormones are out of whack, but if you are worried call a doc and make sure.
BellyDancer - Thursday, 21 Feb I would call your doc. about the lump! You REALLY want to keep an eye on any vac. situation. That's why the yellow pages have a vaccine injury hotline, you might want to contact them if you don't get enough response from your doc. Did you get the full set or are you doing a few at a time?
kendallandkoensmom - Wednesday, 20 Feb yes - my baby still has a knot and he had shots on 2/8 - my 6 year old does the same way after shots - has a 'fat leg' as he calls it for as long as 3 weeks sometimes
AEONmommy - Monday, 18 Feb I'm sure it's 'safe' to try before hand, but i've heard that it's best for your body to wait 18 months between babies. It will take a while for your body to fully recover.
mommy2 - Thursday, 14 Feb Hi Julia, I would squeeze as much air out as I could and then suck on the nipple while squeezing, I also found that pinching the nipple while squeezing sped up the process. I also did like pamw said, loosen the cap & squeee the air out. When I made formula, I made enough for a dya or twos worth of bottles and either left it in a jug in the fridge or put it in the bottles in the fridge.
pamw - Thursday, 14 Feb Hi Julia, I have used the playtex dropins for all 3 of my kids. I loosen the cap and squeez the air out until it is almost up to the top, then tighten the cap and squeez the rest of the air out hope this helps. see you.
niseybear - Tuesday, 12 Feb Hey Julia! My son had cradle cap pretty bad and the olive oil just wasn't working. I purchased Gentle Naturals by Disney Baby-Cradle Cap Care...IT IS AWESOME! AND SMELLS VERY GOOD! It just lifts the scales right off.
