Underweight 13 Month Old, I Did Have IUGR During Pregnancy.

I have a beautiful 13 month old baby girl. The only concern that I have is that she is very small in size for her age. She's only 13 and a half pounds. Height wise she's doing great, but it just makes her look even that much thinner. I was diagnosed with IUGR (interuterine growth restriction) during my pregnancy and was put on bed rest and saw a high risk doctor the last two months. She was born full term (38 wks buy trying to induce me although I still ended up with a c-section) at 4 lbs 12 oz. She's always been breastfed. She does...

Flu Shot or Not?!?!

So here is my question. What are all of your thoughts on the flu shot? I have never had the flu shot, I seem to go through the questioning phase with every pregnancy as whether to get it or not. Both of my other two pregnancies I did not get one and did fine. But this is the first time I have been seriously nagged by the doctor to get one. Is it because of the challenge of their being the two possible strands this year or just an over cautious doctor. So how many of you get the flu shot for each pregnancy. And if you did get it while...

To Dye or Not?

OK- I am 11 weeks pregnant with number two. I look young, other than the copious gray hair slowly beginning to replace my natural auburn locks :). I have been having my stylist use an Aveda semi-permanent dye for some years now. Since I have been pregnant, I have have been nervous to do so for the safety of our unborn child. I wouldn't be so worried, but maybe I am a little superstitious- I have only had one miscarriage and it happened a day after I had my hair dyed at a salon. What would you do?

Med and Pregnancy

Hi, I know i will have to discuss this with my doctors, but just wondered if any of you have went through/are going through this. I had our first child almost 3 months ago via c-section and ended up with a blood clot and am now on warfarin. I will have to be on it for at least another 3 or 4 months probably. My husband and I would like to have another child and are considering trying again in a few months. I have heard that warfarin causes severe birth defects and or miscarraige. Have any of you taken this med or another similar during...

Sex During Pregnancy?

18 1/2 weeks pregnant... sex or no sex? Who had intercourse during pregnancy? We have not been intimate since conception in October. Sometimes I feel like I want to have sex and other times I am just so exhausted to even think about it. Hubby isn't asking for it but I feel bad. When we had our first child we didn't have any sex until after she was born and the 6 week waiting period.

Issues with 21 Month Old Son

I'm hoping someone can give me suggestions. I'm pregnant with #2, and very hormonal and tired. This is a volatile mix with my 21-month old son, who has suddenly changed from my sweet little boy to a crying, whiny, tantrum-throwing toddler. First, he wakes up very early, sometimes around 5 or 5:30. Sometimes my husband can get him back to sleep before he gets ready for work, but usually not. Then, first thing he wants to watch tv. This has become a bad habit I swore I'd never allow, but it started because I was way too tired for anything...
