Please add me to 2WW I have a 4yo DD and 21m DS who is still nursing about 5x a day, but not lengthy nursings, just snacks :) My 1st PPAF came on Aug 30, then a 36 day cycle, with my next period on Oct 5.  I don't know if...

I am relatively new to Greenville, and have two young children.  My youngest is almost two and has never seen a doctor.  I'd like to start his immunizations at two, on a delayed (obviously!) schedule.  I don't want to...

Well, after trying castor oil, and having what I thought was baby-having labor for 5-6 hours two days ago, my body relaxed.  I stopped having nightly annoying painful braxton hicks altogether, and I no longer felt I was on the...

NYC CNM, that's funny that you relate that story.  I myself was a "screamer" at my birth.  I guess I'd really call it a bellow, though.  It was throaty and almost masculine in sound.  But it was...
