HI, Ever find something that turns out to be even better than you thought it could be? That is what happened when I found these. I do not work for them and am...
Thanks, S! I actually use the Diva Cup and am very happy. But I know I won't be able to use it after the baby is born for a bit - so those pads are a great...
Diane, The only thing I would change about them is the tag with the Perfect pad logo on it. I cut off mine. I pretty much follow their care instructions. I...
Hi everyone - I have been told that Dreft is a good laundry detergent for baby clothes, etc. Are there others out there that are safe/recommended for baby...
I will admit right here, right now-I have never bought special "baby" detergent. I like to buy detergents that don't have added fragrance or color so I...
Dreft has such a strong smell that I find it more sneeze inducing than regular detergent! I have just washed my baby clothes in with the regular clothing. I...
I agree with everyone else about this. We've always used our regular detergent for the babies and we wash their clothes, linens, blankets in with our stuff....
We like Allen's Naturally http://www.frogandelephant.com/catalog.php?category=45 A little goes a long way. Elaine Co-Leader, ICAN of Atlanta Join our local...
I use tide free- I have sensitive skin and whenever my mom would switch detergents when I was little I would break out with little red bumps. So I've always...
Just wanted to pass along that we finally baptized Nate! He's only 2 mos but the others have all been done at 1month! here are pictures so I can show him off! ...
I recomend a dye free perfume free liquid detergent, and no fabric softener. While I love the smell of Dreft, 3 of my 6 kids were allergic to it. alicia Harry...
Since you are already taking extra care for yourself I think you'd be fine. I just used nonperfumed regular detergent myself. A word of warning some baby...
I have been watching my sugar levels and trying to keep them lower in the past few weeks since when I randomly tested blood sugar awhile back, level had been...
When I went to the doctor yesterday, he said he wanted to do an x-ray around week 38 or 39 to determine the position of the baby and to help see if I will be...
Good grief, is your doctor an ancient guy? I thought they stopped doing this sort of thing with our moms! Anyway, ultrasound can help somewhat to determine...
Oh my goodness. How terrible. Um, he can determine baby position with his hands, using Leopold's Manuevers, or he can use ultrasound. Ultrasound is 100%...
My doctor is an NFP (and faithful Catholic!) doctor and the only one within about 100 miles of here, which is why I go to him. I live in a small town/rural...
the most accurate pelvic measurement for adequacy is labor. US can tell you position but is essentially meaningless - I recently has a mom who had a head down...
So sorry, not wanting to be a fearmonger! Unfortunately I have seen the same scenario (or similar- never with Xrays before)- over and over.... 9 out 10 its a...
My little baby gets hiccups fairly frequently in the womb, often after I've eaten something. I have noticed the hiccups getting stronger/more powerful (my...
I think this is a pretty easy one, just say that you are not comfortable with an x-ray at this point and can he work with an ultrasound to determine position....
I highly recommend you get a copy of Henci Goer's The Thinking Woman's Guide To A Better Birth. She has a lot of very useful information on various birth...
as an expectant mother, I have been overwhelmed with offers to bank the baby's cord blood in a registry once it's born. Does the Church have any official...
Our birth center offered the option to donate cord blood for use in research as an ethical source of stem cells. We did that--anything to decrease the need...
It's ethical and indeed praiseworthy to donate blood for others who need it. An even closer comparison would be donating bone marrow as cord blood can be...
There is a Catholic organization called Babies For Life that accepts cord blood donations. You need to send away for the donation packet in advance....
... I forgot to mention that. Delayed clamping wasn't possible in my situation due to prior history of hemorrhaging. Since we were doing active management of...
The American Life League runs an ad in its magazine for cord blood banking, and that organization would not do so if the practice was immoral or in defiance...
I have been able to locate some potential doulas who live within 1 - 2 hours of the hospital I will labor in. However, what are some good questions to ask...
