Does giving birth hurt as much as when you have an usually large bowel movement?

I'm not joking, I'm asking for a comparison, because I don't have anything else to compare it against.

The new born baby has a very sensitive skin. So its essential to select the best toiletry to suit the sensitive skin. I see Johnsons baby products and Sebamed products around me. I live in the Middle east country and this is all i see in the super markets here. I am yet to check with the mother care shop here which is quite far from my place. I just need some ideas on producuts used for the baby during bath and massage. Any suggestion to make the baby feel good calm and sleep well and also smell good? Also a good detergent that i can use for baby's clothes. Thanks :-)

My daughter's 1st b-day is coming up in 3 weeks and I thought that we could use our existing registry (updated) for bday and x-mas gifts....is that rude? I am sending out her bday party invites tonight and am not sure if I should include a note with the registry information. THX

My wife is 18 weeks, we had an ultrasound and the doctor could not find the babies kidneys, but did find the bladder. Evrything else turned out good with no defect or anything else. The baby was very active. We are going for a high tech ultrasound in a couple weeks. What are the possibilities that the doctor overlooked the kidneys on his machine which is just a normal ultrasound machine? Has anyone else been there?

if i lose my mucus plug before i go into labor like at 38 or 39 weeks is my baby at risk of catching it because the mucus plug protects against infections?

Hello,

My sister-in-law is probably the most distant addition to the family, which a very closely-nit quilt of Italians, Sicilians, and Romanians. She's the most Americanized of my step-siblings, by far, but we've all been very tolerant, accepting, and even supportive of her different opinions.

However, she and my brother are expecting their first child in January, and we recently heard that she is not interested in breastfeeding in the slightest. At first I couldn't believe it, but then I asked my mother about it and she said that it's true and she's terrified for her grandchildren (but refuses to intervene in child-rearing). My sister, though irritated, says that nothing is more important than the mother being happy. I, however, am deeply offended.

I think it's all a vanity thing for her, since she doesn't want to see permanent changes to her body. This outrages me because it's at the expense of the welfare of her children. I considered emailing my brother about the...

I have been taking Tylenol with codeine, the migraines are a serious issue, but the Tylenol 3 is not working as well as it was so he suggested smoking pot occasionally to help take the pain away, as that is what i do when i am not pregnant. He said that marajauna smoke is no more harmful than tobacco smoke. He is a doc from Mayo Clinic.

Are there any reliable sites that can corroborate this, or not so much?

I know Feb. 14th is far from now but I have a boyfriend and found this cute heart necklace that he could give me since we will probably switch gifts. I intend on giving him some money to pay for it (it's like 20 dollars plus tax.) Is it wrong for me to give him the money to buy me th gift.

Or I want a Dereon dress with some baby phat shoes:

(i'd give him the money for that too.)

Is it wrong for me to give him money to pay for my own gift(s)?

My little girl is 15months old and without us deliberately teaching her she can point to her hair, nose, eyes, teeth, toes etc... when asked to do so. Do other kids at this age do that?

I'm 26 years old, normal weight 9stone, not hairy or spotty, normal periods b4 going on the pill and during! TTC for 4 months and always knew something wasnt quiet right. Went to the doctors and they did some blood work and found the LH was a little high- went for a scan and found I have PCOS. I went home and cried and cried I just felt so depressed because I wanted a baby so much. After speaking to alot of people I found out alot of women do have it and go on to have children, with little problems. I am just waiting to be referred back to the NHS hospital to start treatment. They have suggested clomid injections. If any women with PCOS have any postive stories to getting preggs could you share it with me? And what is it like to be on that treatment? Thanks x
