Had son 7 weeks ago. Went in for check up last week. Since then, I`ve noticed that my perinium is pretty hard. I`ve looked online and it sounds like maybe just scar tissue that will always be hard. I had an episiotomy and 2nd degree tear during labor. What do you think? Should I got back to my doc?

My son is not quite two years. He has a foam bowling set of six pins. He INSISTS that the pins be set up in a certain order (they are different colors). If they are not in the right place, he will fix them until they are `right`. He does this EVERY time. Is this normal?

Went to first appt yesterday (I`m 13 weeks). I asked doctor when I should start showing with my second pregnancy and he said `later than with your first because your muscles are already stretched out`. I was surprised because I always thought 2nd babies showed sooner because your body already knew what to do. Which is it ladies? Comment with a week of when you showed :)

My doctor said that to prevent my midnight leg cramps, I should stop drinking milk and take Os-cal instead. I wash everything down with milk! Juice and water just don`t always do it for me. Any other ideas?
