Has she been given any medication for reflux? Not sleeping, being fussy and losing her voice sound like it could be from reflux. The reflux can burn their little throats, causing pain and a hoarse voice.

I've heard good things about Colic Calm though I've never used it myself. I did, however, use Baby Bliss Gripe Water with DS1 and it would help him stop screaming for about a half an hour...it definately wasn't "magic," but it did give me (and him) a little relief. If your son has reflux he made need a prescription medication such as Zantac or Prevacid (not sure what they hav in NZ). I know, the s...

Make sure you're getting enough iron....being that cold *might* mean you're anemic. Take care.

I always had strong AF type cramps with all my pregnancies...except for the pregnancy I miscarried. I was constantly heading to the restroom because I thought for sure AF was coming. I would take your cramping as a good sign. GL

With my 3rd pregnancy(DS3), my m/s didn't start until around week 10. It lasted until the 26th week.

It took me about 6 weeks to stop bleeding. Now, 4 month pp, and I still have the brown line going down my belly...though, it's faded quite a bit. I still have 3-5lbs to lose...wish it would hurry up. I must say, even though I only have 3-5lbs to lose, I feel like my flabby stomach is here to stay. After 3 pregnancies, I think my stomach muscles are shot. Wish I could have a tummy tuck.

It's completely normal to not be dialted at 37.5 weeks. Also, your body can do amazing things while it's laboring...I would definately try for a vbac...if it doesn't work as hoped, at least you knew you tried and won't regret the decision. My friend just had a vbac that was induced a week before her due date and pushed 10x's and gave birth to a healthy, beautiful little girl. She said attempting t...

Oh crap! My soon to be 4 month old is the worst sleeper! My other two slept like champs, not this one though. Literally, he sleeps 4-5 hours at night, then he might have an hour long nap in the morning and then maybe two 10 minute cat-naps all.day.long. Needless to say, I get absolutely nothing done. I blame my DH though...his Mom said he was the same way.

My friend had to come home with a catheter after her 4th c-section and she had it in for about a week. Apparently, they had to cut into her bladder because she had so much scar tissue. I've had 3 c-sections and I would like another child, but I'm just too scared because of the complications that could arise. If your Dr. said it would be too risky, I would probably follow his advice.
On a side-not...

Thanks girls. I am hoping the opposite type of pg is true for me...appetite=boys. No appetite=girl. Our house needs a little girl SO bad! My boys keep saying that it's a girl. I hope they are right! FX!!
By the way, I'm finding that sour cream & Ranch dressing helps me(not mixed together). Is this weird?

I totally understand. With my last pregnancy, I literally spent all day trying not to puke, yet it wasn't the intense nausea you get with a stomach bug where it makes you run to the toilet, it was this constant feeling of "I'm about to barf." Does that even make sense? lol.
Like I said, the Dr gave me Zofran and it was the best money I ever spent(at the time). It was instant relief and I cou...

I was horribly nauseated with my last 2 pregnancies and just like you, no amount of food helped. It got to the point where I couldn't deal with it anymore, so I told my Dr and she put me on Zofran and it became my BFF for a while. I only had to take 1 pill a day and it kept the nausea/vomitting at bay and I felt so much better...I love Zofran.
Even though you feel like crap and not eating much, y...

I just had a c-section in April and finally received all my bills....$20,000.00! Since I have health insurance, I saved $9,000.00. I'll end up having to pay $3,000.00 out of pocket after my insurance pays it's half. Bleh.

I like it. It kind of has a vanilla flavor to it. I'm not sure how "natural" it is, because I believe it's processed stevia. You can buy regular stevia in the organic section at your grocery store, but imho, it's bitter and it left a horrible after-taste in my mouth. My iridologist recommended Truvia since i disliked the regular stevia so much. He said Truvia is much better than sugar, splenda, or...

Not in this DDGroup, but wanted to reply.... I weighed 80lbs when I was 14 and was 5'4" tall back then...skinny minny. People would ask my Mom if I was sick because I was so skinny. I swear, I ate all the time. I was constantly hungry...could not get enough to eat! Then, when I was 16, I gained about 25lbs, got boobs and blossomed so to speak and my appetite sort of decreased...well, kind of....

My dad always referred to insurance as 'legalized extortion'. The more we deal with insurance companies the more that holds true.

True. I just received my first bill from my c-section....$920.00 for the epidural and I have to pay $780.00! Why do I pay $104.00 a week to these people? Gawd.

We have the Baby Trend Sit and Stand LX from Toy R Us and we love it! The only thing that I dislike about it is that it is heavy and a little difficult getting in and out of oue vehicle.
