My kids are 11 and 12, and I have been divorced 9 years. For many years I thought I was finished having kids, but now that I'm in my mid 30's I feel my biological clock ticking. I have worked my way through college and have a good job...

Part of me is glad to see breeches are allowed - but is there any additional training required to ensure midwives actually know how to safely deliver vaginal breechs? Many doctors do not even do this, and even in midwifery its a dying...

I don't live downtown, I'm probably 30 minutes or so away. I'm available on weekdays, but it would depend on what time. I pick my kids up from school between 2 and 3. Pm me if you're interested!

Yes, this happened to us. My kids are 21 months apart. My older daughter "weaned" during pregnancy when my milk dried up, but then started again after her baby brother was born. They tandem nursed until my son was 18 months old, when...

Thanks for the suggestion to use daiya. We tried it and all of us loved it, even those of us who don't need to be dairy free. Its expensive, but I think its going to be worth it.
