Labmama, my babies are also half caucasian (German) and half black (Sierra Leone)! But if you first saw them you probably wouldn't guess that they are that mix. My son looks East Indian or maybe...

I hope you feel better soon. And personally, my babies are exclusively breastfed and are exceptionally content. There were only a few crying episodes with my daughter early on, and I figured out that...

Interesting I never thought of that. I'm very glad that doesn't apply to me.

Glad that's working out for you! I'm the opposite, I prefer being home with the kids (even though it's not really financially feasible) but I totally understand how it could be different for others,...

Lots of great tips! Keep it coming! The bassinet is a great idea, I'll look into that shortly. A bottle of milk isn't gonna happen, my baby was never able to figure out bottles, and it doesn't sound...

Where I live there are tons of people with that last name. It's very common in the Hutterite communities. It's no big deal at all I think. Most people pronounce it differently than the word "gross"....

I should mention that we are visiting family and will be able to borrow a car seat and stroller for our 3 week stay. Flight will be with Delta. I did not pay for an extra seat for her so she will be...

So in five days I will be flying from Canada to Germany with my 6 year old and my 7 month old. My mom will accompany us also. I've never flown with them, and it's been ages since I've been on a plane...

Quinton and Maeve. Maeve's nose had an...

I wouldn't pull and pray! There's such a thing as "precum" which is semen released before an orgasm. I personally had a very good experience with an IUD, don't remember which one it was but it was...

There is still billing per day in Canada. It just gets paid for by the government, not by the patient (unless the patient doesn't have coverage).

My hubby is from West Africa so here are a few that I know of that I don't believe have been listed yet. Mostly girls names, most boys out there seem to have either Arabic or Western names:
Girls:...

With my first I had a labial tear. I must have not been stitched up correctly because 4 days postpartum I had to return to the hospital due to an inability to void my bladder. While inserting a...

I know a few Yugoslavian people, and here are their names (at least the ones that haven't been mentioned yet):

Girls:
Darka
Vesna
Naida (Na-EE-da)
Aida (A-EE-da
Dragica (DRA-gi-za)
Mima...

With my first the whole thing took 13 hours. 10 hours into it I got my membranes ruptured so 3 hours more after that. Pushing took 20 minutes, but it was coached (unnecessarily in my case) so...

Thank you for all the responses. Some of them have described the situation back to me quite accurately, and that is what I needed, some sort of outside perspective on this. She does have a number of...

I met her while she was a counselor at a pregnancy crisis center (my first pregnancy was unplanned and a bit of a crisis). She quit working there before my baby was born but we stayed in touch. At...

Right off the bat, I want to say that this is more of a rant than anything. I don't feel I can do this on a facebook group in case the privacy setting screw up again and this person may see it. But I...

Oh, I'm definitely not a fan of the name Chanel to begin with either. I know it doesn't exactly have deeply rooted meaning or anything. But Shanell...that just takes it even more downscale, IMO. And...

I realize it's too late now and I would never say anything to them now (I'm sure they think my baby's name is extremely strange). It's just that, as a name nerd, it bothers me severely as I'm sure...

My cousin and his wife just had a baby girl and they named her Shanell. Shudder. I knew they were going to name her that before she was born but assumed it would be spelled "Chanel". Now I'm...

You said you've had a migraine before. So this feels different from a migraine? I'm asking because I'm a migraine sufferer, and they went through the roof during my 2nd pregnancy. Migraines don't...

The question I would ask myself is, were something to go wrong that caused death or permanent damage to my child during a UC (even though the same thing could theoretically also happen during a...

I use Alva Baby diapers. I like them. They are a pocket diaper. I order them individually on ebay and have gotten them for as little as $3 a diaper (although that wouldn't always include the insert)....
