cranberry sauce made with hardly any sugar is hard to swallow but cures the problem.

Nice job getting the tree up already!

Sorry to hear about the YI I have been very prone to them in the past and I use Acidophilus supplements (capsules by mouth) when I'm starting to get one. It rocks!! Hope yours goes away soon!

Yuck! Sorry to hear about the YI! I had my first one ever this pg and it sucked. I dont have any natural cures though. I just used the cream OTC canestan stuff. My doctor said to use just the cream and not the capsules as some preg ladies are extra sensitive to them. I was so glad it was gone!! Hope yours resolves soon!

Thanks for all the good advice! I am hoping that it's clearing up because last night I took a bath with apple cider vinegar which I read helps and then I used the plain yogurt after I got out. I did the same thing this morning and I am starting to feel better! Here's hoping it helps! If not, then I am grateful to have more options that you ladies listed. It would suck to go into labor with this yucky YI but luckily I don't for see that happening anytime soon.

I wanted to share a pic of my stash of cloth diapers! I have slowly been building it up since we decided to CD this baby. I am starting with prefolds and covers for when he is teeny tiny(I am getting a a few newborn covers & fitteds in the mail this week that are not pictured here) and then pretty much everything else are pockets. I figure even though I don't know what will work best for us, at least I have lots of options and I can hopefully sell/trade what doesn't work out. I can't wait to diaper this babe's bottom! My family thinks we are nuts, but I can't wait to prove to them that it's not hard.

No YI recommendations. I haven't had one in years. (*runs to knock on wood*) Hope you find a solution for yourself soon.

ETA: Aw the sweet colorful fluff!!! Love it!

I'm glad the remedies you've tried so far are helping! I LOVE your CD stash! Even with hard water and the PITA that has been for our diapers, I still love CDing and find it easy. Who can resist those fluffy little bottoms!

Glad to hear the YI feels like its improving! I'm jealous of the diversity of your fluff! I love that there are several of us on the November board who are here on the Birthing Naturally board AND the Cloth Diapering board

Awww, those diapers are adorable. I am kind of on the fence about CDing here. My daycare lady doesn't do CDs, so if we did it it would only be for home. But I am still thinking that nights and weekends would be better than nothing. Anyway, very cute. I hope that your YI is all cleared up by now.

Claire I just read your lodge and have to say your story is truely inspiring. The maturity and strength you had at such a young age is truly amazing. Then, how you nd your DH met and progressed from friends to more was fun to read. I must say, your hubby sounds like a very patient, sweet, guy. Your DS's birth sounded frustrating, but that it brought you to a better place for this birth

I love the way you write, and cant wait to read Griffin's birth story

Hoping that your YI is better, and that your newest little man makes his appearance sooner than later

Any updates Claire? I am thinking about you!
