Hello everyone!   My DD is 4 months old, and we've had a great time nursing so far. From what I can tell, I have a pretty good supply. (Now, I can pump up to 6 oz in a short time, which is great!) But a family at my church has...

FuzziBunz recently came out with a one size hemp. I have three of their regular one size diapers that I use for nighttime (double stuffed), and they're wonderful! If you haven't checked theirs out, you may want to. They use snaps, and...

Hello! Well, I'm 40 weeks pregnant with my first, and I am completely fine with the fact that my little one hasn't come because I know that she certainly wasn't aware of any due date! However, I am wanting to meet her and to avoid an...

Hi all! I was wondering if some of you could share your experiences, specifically about blood pressure during labor. Did any of you have dangerously high blood pressure during labor, and if so, what did your doctor or midwife do about...
