Subbing: I think there used to be a monthly thread like this... every month we would start a new one. Anyways, I just had my second child seven weeks ago and haven't had any fertility signs yet, but wanted to check in and remind...

My cousin's new wife (they got married Sept. 21st) called me today in tears. She is having intense abdominal pain during and after sex. Its so bad that it sometimes makes her throw up afterwards. She had an ultrasound done and she has...

My little guy is driving me crazy! I love him so much, but he's insisting on sleeping IN our bed, even when we put his bed right next to ours and nursing CONSTANTLY. I love him so much, but all this contact in the heat is making me...
