I'm moving from Charlotte to Cary, NC and because of surgery I make about half my baby's supply via nursing, and use about 12-16oz/day of donor milk. Yes, I take lots of domperidone. Does anyone have extra milk? I would really...

I am mostly unschooling wrt reading. I feel like it's self-reinforcing so I don't need to do anything; they'll learn on their own time when they're ready. So one of my 8yo twins does not read -- he's not even close, from what I can see...

Yes -- my 4th child was born at home and then I transported for pph/retained placenta. I was incredibly devastated by the situation. When I got pregnant with #5, I planned another homebirth, even though I was really nervous. My midwife...

Hiya Rachael -- glad to see you found your way over here from CM!    I can't answer questions about working or homebirthing, as I didn't do either but I can answer a little more about MZ vs DZ.   Dizygotic = two...

It's my daily post on the overdue thread!    41w6d and zoooooooooomg am I going to be pregnant forever? Feels like it!    My mom is here -- she arrived at 40w4d thinking she'd meet the baby, or maybe even...

I've been referring to this baby as "Tax Deduction" since I found out about him or her! I thought, "Since I'm due on December 11, I'll definitely get the 2010 deduction." Wouldn't it just be ironic if I went to...

As of today, I am 41w3d. This is BY FAR the longest pregnancy I've ever had. With my last one -- my longest til now -- my water broke at 40w5d.   Is anyone else who's reaaaaaaaaaaaaallly past their edd finding that it's...

I didn't gain a lot of weight with my twins -- but I did have reserves like others. I shot for whatever Dr. Luke said about nutrition, and I did the best I could. My twins were in a normal weight range when they were born early.
