  • 7 weeks with a UTI

    QUESTION

  • Knot Pressure Next to Naval

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I have a tight little pressure next to my belly button that I typically only notice when I'm vomiting, or sitting up a certain way.

    Basically using my abdominal muscles intensely seems to aggravate this small area. It doesn't really hurt, just a little bit uncomfortable. I'm 5 1/2 months pregnant now.

  • Sandy's Surprise -- Gender Disappointment?

    I was reading an article about choosing the sex of your baby before you conceive to reduce "gender disappointment."I have to say, that made me sick to my stomach. I know whatever sex our baby is, and whatever he/she looks like, there is no way we would be disappointed.

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and Newborns

    When my newborn daughter Mary started having screaming fits at 7 weeks, everyone told me it was "colic." It was infuriating how quick people were to dismiss my mother's instinct that something was wrong. I was a new mother and she was a tiny newborn and this, they told me, is what newborns do. But it wasn't, and I knew it.
