First I wanted to thank all the people who responded to my post on Monday. So to update, I went to my initial appointment with the midwife on Tuesday, and it went very well!!! She is the first person I've seen during this pregnancy that made me feel comfortable!!! So now I'm going to have a home bir...

Hello ladies! Thank you so much for all the comments about my issues with breastfeeding. I am going to try it out atleast before completely writing it off. Now I have a new issue. LOL go figure. My mom, sister, aunt, mother in law, and sister in law are planning a shower for me. My mom does not want...

This question has really nothing to do with pregnancy, but you all are so good with advice, I have to ask! Recently, I had a friend try to ruin my relationship with my fiance (my wedding is in 3 weeks), and we literally had to change our phone numbers and tell her if she showed up to our house again...

I'm having sort of an issue with my boyfriend's mother. She's absolutely obsessed with Winnie the Pooh. She has a whole room for her other granddaughter and literally Every. Single. Thing. in that room is WtP. Curtains, bedding, clock, lamp, EVERYTHING. Along with three huge toy chests filled only w...

Did any of you have major problems with your family because of who you chose to be your child's godparents? Apparently, my MIL, FIL, and SIL are all pissed off at us because we didn't choose any of them. We definatley have our reasons (MIL and FIL are both over 65, and in poor health, and SIL i...

My friend had her baby last year at 16 weeks. The baby did not survive. She became pregnant again around the same time that I did, but she was put on bed rest to avoid premature labor around 20 weeks. At 25 weeks, she had to have an emergency c-section. The baby has been in the NICU this whole ...

How do we tell my miserable, controlling MIL that I'm pregnant? This is a woman who is never happy about anything. She has three beautiful grandchildren that she urged both of her daughter-in-laws to abort (she's a devout Catholic, by the way -- funny how that works), and wouldn't have anything to d...

just a bit of venting. i feel like i have so much left to do (i'll be 29w on wednesday) and it's finally starting to set in that the time is fast approaching.  i'm getting a crib from my aunt's friend within the next couple weeks, which means i have to start cleaning out my room once again and ...

I just got off the phone with my mom...who, not surprisingly, pissed me off and stressed me out. I live with my husband in Colorado Springs. He's in the army. Anyway, we are going back to NH/MA for two weeks around Christmas. Our baby is due in March, and this is the only time we would be ...
