Pelvic bone pain
Hi ladies, I'm 36 weeks (soon to be 37), and I've been having a lot of pelvic bone pain today.

Heart Rate
I'm only 6 weeks along and haven't had the chance to meet with a doctor yet so I'm putting this question out to you ladies. Any recommendations for a target heart rate while preggers?

My mother in law's coworker crocheted baby Brock a beautiful Finding Nemo (nursery theme) blanket with his name on it.

Milk Supply Question
Hello All, I have a breast feeding question. I didn't produce enough milk with my first son without taking medication. For the first 7 weeks everything was fine and I produced enough but then I couldn't keep up with him no matter what I did. I took meds and was able to pump and breastfeed him until he was 14 months but I…

For all of you Mom's that have other children, I have a question for you. Am currently 26 weeks 1 day with my second child. With my first, I had a really hard time BF.

infant car seat vs. convertable
Babies r' us has an infant car seat and a convertable car seat on the registry checklist. What are the pros and cons of both? It seems you can't take the convertable's out and carry them around but is that necessarily a bad thing? I registered for an infant seat, a snap 'n' go stroller, and a jogging stroller but the…

Funny pregnancy sotries
So, I'm at work. The pair of jeans I'm wearing are still a little big around the waist (only pair I own that I can fit into) and I have to wear a belt with them. But, when I sit down, the belt is too tight so I un-do it while sitting at my desk. My boss just walked in and I had to get up to assist her. I stood up and had…

Bra problems
Hi ladies I'm 36 weeks now, and I usually wear underwire full coverage bras. My cup size and band size are the same, but my bump is creeping up under my ribcage and causing my bra to pinch my skin underneath. Do you have any fixes for this? I really don't want to go out and buy all new bras with only a few weeks left.

Anyone else feel 'abandoned' by your friends?
I do! Not sure if its because I'm no longer drinking or that I go to bed earlier..... I have seen my BF a total of three times since I have been pregnant. I'm 16 weeks!

Physiology During Pregnancy
Being pregnant doesn't just increase uterus size...it effects every process in the body. It irritates me when people think I should be able to exercise at the exact same level as when I was not pregnant--there are reasons for losing breath and higher heart rate--it's not just getting out of shape--the body is working hard…
