Hi! I live in McKinney and am pregnant with our 4th. This is my first baby in TX so I had to find a new midwife. So far, (I am only 13 weeks) I am very happy with her, Kathleen Mayorga. She owns Bella Births but also does HB. She didn't...

Bras: Underwires don't seem to bother me. Once baby is born, I do wear a non underwire until about 6 weeks postpartum. By then, my milk is really established and I can wear underwires again. Although, I should say, I have never had...

here we are: Why are you so focused on bed sharing? It is ok not to! If you want to room share, that is a great way to have baby close but not in your bed. This will be my 4th and I assume that we will try the same thing again. Baby...

Ok, I am gonna dip my toe in the water.....   I am Kelly, this is my 7th pregnancy and hopefully, 4th child. I have a son 7.5, daughter almost 5, and another daughter just turned 3. We have been TTC this baby since DD2 was...

I got my first beta on Monday. It was CD36 based on LMP which is kind of a guess. It was 746 and I go back Wed for beta 2. IMO, a beta of 20 could be even lower that what a hpt can pick up so, I would guess 9-10 DPO. Didnt they have you...
