- by mommytooneHello Moms….last year when I was pregnant I was diagnosed with an MTHFR mutation. I still do not understand all of it, but was told it is really only a big deal when you are pregnant or having surgery. My daughter somehow managed to find a piece of broken glass on the floor and it […]

- by ddwdam1Recently I had a baby (in October) and developed gallstones. I've had some really painful attacks and even had to go to the emergency room twice in 8 hours.

- by Beverly_BOK, I feel conflicted here…when our son was born, my husband and I did the research and opted to not have him circumcised. Now that he is older, though, he's angry with us for making him "different". So, before I blow this off as yet another in the long line of teenage mood swings, do […]
- by ksloughneyI have complete pelvic organ prolapse and am having total pelvic and vaginal reconstructive surgery, including a hysterectomy, in 2 weeks.
