Thanks for sharing. What really helps with heartburn is to eat minimal processed foods, and drink lots and lots of water. Some people have also told me a handful of almonds a day works wonders.

Re: Coping with the tragedy of miscarriage

I have had two miscarriage back to back within 6 months almost to the day. Both of these were lost early. After the first I wanted to get pregnant again right away. The miscarriage that I'm actually currently going through is SO much harder. I don't even want to be touched. I want to be able to grieve in my own way and not be judged at all. I don't want to be asked what's wrong with me. I want to SCREAM duh I just a had a living being inside of me that died. I prayed to meet this little person and never even got to make it to week 8. Your right it doesn't matter how early you lose the pregnancy it still hurts BAD.

I'm exhausted but can't sleep.I'm still trying to figure out how to grieve. Most of my friends and family each have more than the standard two kids even our pastor and his wife have 5. Thankfully, what helped me the most is that I did share my pregnancy news early so I had people to talk to when I lost the baby. I couldn't imagine having to try and hide the information from the people that I love the most.

I'm just trying to figure out how to grieve this time.

Re: Third Trimester Pregnancy Tips: What to Take in Your Hospital Bag

If you plan on breast feeding bringing some lanolin breast cream may be a good idea if the hospital doesn't provide any. My newborn had some trouble latching on and let's just say Lansinoh was my lifesaver!

Re: Why the birth plan blows up in your face

I have a lot of interest and passion about this topic, and especially now as an expectant mother myself, I really appreciate this blurb. You are right, labor is one of life's "everything flies out the door" scenarios. However, I feel the need to comment and remind everyone that not everyone has the option of birthing at home, even if they planned for it. Insurance companies are not always cooperative to compensate for out of network midwives fees, even though it is significantly cheaper than being in the hospital. Also, many states and big metropolitan areas don't even have birthing centers, which is crazy. (I live in Las Vegas and it's either hospital and all the accompanying bs, or home.) I wanted to be at home, and chose to do so long before conceiving. Unfortunately, my unborn son has been diagnosed with AV canal heart defect, and screened as being very high chance of having Down Syndrome. My midwife is amazing, along with my new-found OB, and everyone will be working together to make sure that I feel as in control as possible, given the circumstance. Grieving a dx is hard enough, but then having to grieve the loss of your desired birth plan, too is insult to injury. Medical professionals should really care enough to at least humor their patients and pretend to respect their wishes, even if they know chances are, it's not going to end up going how they want it to. My concern is not the doctor, I mean he/she probably just breezes in for 5 minutes anyway! It's the nurses and other staff at the hospital that concern me, for they do not know you or have that rapport, and have to emotionally distance themselves in that line of work, I would imagine, so yeah, why would they give a rat's ass about your silly birth plan? I just hope, despite it all, that my plan is at least attempted to be adhered to and respected, as a paying "customer," and that as few interventions as necessary are administered, just as I hope that for any of you expectant mommies out there, too!

Iron supplement is one of the most common minerals that people know about. Women use a lot of Iron during their cycle and child birth. But lack of a good dietary iron supplement is not just a woman thing, men may experience lack of dietary iron too. This lack of iron is called anemia.

Re: Breast or Bottle? Making the best decision for you

Heather — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:42:38 -0000

I agree that breast feeding vs. bottle is a very personal decision, and either decision can be the right one. Here is my experience: with my first baby, I found breast feeding very difficult, and I only managed to do it for five months, with lots of help from the breast pump, which actually made things worse in some ways. (I definitely don't advocate just pumping...for many reasons). I swore I would NEVER try breast feeding again. However, I had my second baby nearly 6 years after my first, and I am still breast feeding him after 10 months. Trying it again was the best decision I made, and it was MUCH EASIER the second time around, probably because I just pretty much gave myself permission to quit if it was too hard....so since there was no pressure, it actually was easier. And he has slept way better at night than my first as well...which is another unexpected wonderful bonus of breast feeding! :)
