I haven't been on these boards basically since dd was born because, well, I haven't had much time! But I'm at wits end right now with our sleep situation! DD is also 9 months and is also a mover. She goes to sleep around 8:30 and dh...

I was told that if they are able to roll by themselves, then it's ok. You should put him on his back and if he rolls over, it's probably fine. If you're uncomfortable with that, you can always let him fall asleep as he wishes and then...

Kaje, thanks for the reminder...I haven't really even looked at Mothering.com since Elena was born. We're just having so much fun with her that I rarely even sit down at the computer anymore! She's really a wonderful baby and we've had...

Kaje, I really wish you the very best during your last few days of pregnancy. How frustrating not to have super supportive care. Just trust yourself and your body and remember that you're in charge! Hugs!! I can't wait to hear the...

My midwives said that weight gain means so little that they said it was completely up to me whether or not I weighed myself. Their charts have NO records of my weight. I did step on the scale from time to time and I didn't really gain...

I'm still in labor....thanks for all the well wishes! My contractions have slowed down a bit, but still strong when they happen. I was getting really discouraged, but I talked to both my doula and midwife and they both said that it's...

I'm right there with you!!!! My contractions have been on and off for several days, but last night they were STRONG and about 6-8 minutes apart (some just 5 minutes) and lasting about 50 seconds. I lost my mucus plug this morning. ...

I think I'm REALLY in labor. I finally called my midwife at 5:30am and she told me to take a bath and eat and see if I could get some rest. On my way to the bath, I peed and lost my mucus plug!!!! The bath felt WONDERFUL and I was...

It's 2:15am and I haven't been able to get to sleep yet. If this isn't real labor, I'm scared of what is! OUCH. I had to get up just to see if walking around was any more comfy than being in bed. If these contractions stop in the...
