Dear Tina,Since working in home birth for the

- had less severe afterbirth
An addit to my previous comments - forgot to talk about
the kids.
Most children are attracted to the tub, and often ask
if they canget in before the birth. However when they see anything

Hi all,
I need some wisdom for a young women who was

for about 5 months.
She is 21, had an abortion at 16 and three recent
miscarriages. She also has huge guilt that her past may have permanently damaged
her
Well, with my first it took me 14months - I went to the dr and he

This
is from a personal point of view. I am 25 and we have been trying for a baby for
over 10 months now. I have not ovulated or had a period since coming the pill 11

body's ability to operate normally
Hi Julie,
I am no midwife- but I am a woman who has suffered a miscarriage after
being on the pill for 2 years. I conducted some research and found
that a particular herb called Vitex is very helpful in evening out your

upset during my labour and Rosie's birth. He says enjoyed the
Hi All,
Does this young woman know how to recognise when she is fertile and the
changes in vaginal mucous which signal that she is about to ovulate? Perhaps
she needs some education around fertility awareness. I can recommend Kerry

Dear List,
Research was suppose to have shown that the use of

Well, Katelyn was born at 27 weeks and they gave her a (tiny) dummy

As a
mother and a midwife I say do what suits. I personally would not give a dummy at
6 mths. baby can find a thumb, not so a dummy. Less hunting around and trauma
when the dummy has been left behind. Thumb also more hygienic.
dentists do blame both thumbs and dummies for dental problems.
There
has been a bit in the papers recently about alternate means to aid conception.
Hopefully some one will remember. It all sounded very effective. Try
naturopaths and Chinese
herbalists.

Just my 2c worth. I swore whilst I was pregnant with my first that I would
NOT use a dummy but alas as you can see further down, this did not occur.
I also agree to a previous reply about research showing that babies that use
dummies have a lower IQ, I find it offensive. I have four children.
Just a funny note,
when my eldest(now 27) was little, she used to have great fun catching the dummy
between her teeth and then with great force spitting the dummy high over
the cot sides, Stay with me , it really gets better. At the time we
had a HUGE great dane/boxer cross dog. Weighed in

I also think it boils down to what works for the
mum and baby. That being said I have from time to time been quite revolted by
how some parents use dummies: as a kind of plug to still the crying. Definetly
not saying all parents who use dummies do this but have personally seen it done.
