When she was about 10 months old, I finally got tired of the hassle of the infant tub for Julia and started just tossing her in the big people bathtub. (She’s our first, it took me a while to be brave enough to move her past a [...]

The night I went into labor I went to see a movie with a friend. It wasn’t until a few hours later that I suspected I might be having regular contractions. I didn’t want to get too excited, I knew about false labor, so I just kept track loosely of how close they [...]

I can’t give enough recommendations about that book Taking Charge of Your Fertility!!! It completely changed my life. I was diagnosed w/ a blood clotting disorder and immedietly had to stop taking hormonal birth control. We were able to avoid pregnancy for 2 years using FAM before we were ready [...]

I was due around November 7. At around 5 1/2 months, I’m starting to have some problems with my hands and wrists. I’m told that I have pregnancy induced carpal tunnel and an unusual condition which caused electrolytes to settle into the joints of my fingers. The fluid retention was also [...]

There’s a book that I read that helped us not only avoid getting pregnant naturally, but also get pregnant when we wanted. It took us about 3 tries/months to conceive each of our 2 planned pregnancies. Anyhow, this book helps you read your body, and it’s helped me recognize hormone swings, cysts, etc. [...]
