Re: anyone losing weight on the boy diet?

I lost a TON of weight on the boy diet, like 15lbs in 4 weeks...I finally figured out that it was cutting out dairy that was causing my weight to drop.  My pH was also dropping. I was so upset too, because I was kind of half following kristindoggirl's blog, and weight loss is definitely NOT what you want when TTC boy.  So I added back dairy (just a little bit of cheese each day), my weig...

Re: Please could I ask for your help?

Re: Baby back to back..

My DD was sunny-side up...I went through 10 hours of drug-free labour, and 3 hours of pushing, before they told me she just wasn't coming out that way (turns out her arms were over her head...she was pushing back!!!).   Not trying to upset you, but honestly the contractions themselves were NOTHING compared to the searing hot pain that was shooting down my back.  On all fours was the...

We just transitioned our 20 month old to her own full bed to make room for #2 (due in 3 weeks).  She LOVES her new bed.  It is a bit high off the ground, but we have railings on each side and she hasn't fallen out yet...

Re: Any guesses based on pregnancy symptoms?

[quote user="iwannababygirl"]  Based on my own pregnancies I would guess . With both boys I was very sick, craved fast foods and was far more hormonal. With my daughter I craved fruit and sweeter foods, had MS but not as bad and was fairly calm. I think everyone is different though and I think you have to compare it to your own previous pregnancies. Good luck for your scan x [/quote] This...

Re: Moms who choose CoSleepers...Help!

I picked up a mini crib at a garage sale, and my husband set it up by taking the 4th side off (the front), pulling it up tight to our bed and securing it with bungie cords between the base and mattress.  Worked like a charm, and we're going to set up the same way for this little one (due July 3rd).   It was really great after my c-section first time around, not having to get up out ...

Re: Are you kidding me??? WE have to pay to find out sex at routine U/S

I've got some girlfriends in BC who were just telling me this.  Although they're not thrilled, they're relieved that they at least have the option now...seems that previously you could only get a gender determination if you had a doctors note. In Alberta they'll tell you if you ask.

Re: I have a dumb question to ask.

[quote user="Star-30"]  I get stitch type pains around ov. [/quote] This is me...my o pains don't really resemble menstrual cramps.  More like a sharpish pain on one side (depending on which ovary I guess).  It lasts only about 10 minutes, but sometimes it will last longer if I'm exercising (or walking).

Re: Hi July ladies. Must haves for infants????

Extra large receiving blankets for swaddling...those smaller ones are USELESS.  Also, little baby hats, just one or two for the first week or so.  And I LOVE the Angelcare baby monitor...you put one part under the crib and it senses movement.  It just has that extra "reassurance factor".

Re: fenugreek?

Definitely capsules, I heard your body doesn't digest the seeds, they just pass through.  I understand you can make tea from them though.  Fenugreek worked like a charm for me...
