I've exclusively b/f my baby girl since she was born, and pumped while at work. When I first went back to work I pumped 3-4 x's in an 8 hour period. I'm down to 2x, but am considering only pumping once....? Any suggestions or personal experience would be great.

FYI: She b/f's whenever she wants when I'm at home, just curious about work pumping?

I'm nursing a 5 month old (full time on the weekends mon-fri I pump 3 times while at work! nurse all night) I'm on the mini pill (pretty good about taking it on time, sometimes maybe an hour or so late but usually really good with it) and using the withdrawal method. My question is: What are the chances of me getting pg again. We really don't want another baby right now. I had one period right after starting the mini-pill and have not had another. BUT the website for my pill says that it can cause break through bleeding, and you may not have another period until you discontinue the pill. PLEASE any advice or personal experience answers are greatly appreciated.

In august I'm going on vacation with my hubby, and new baby (due 5/23/09). My question is should I bring my breast pump. Since I will be breast feeding exclusively while we're there, I wandered if it would be necessary. (also we're flying and would like to not have to carry it if we can!)

(I'll be returning to work the 2nd or 3rd week in july, and will have to pump while I'm at work, but I plan on breastfeeding when I'm at home)

When my mom was pregnant with me she was reading a Harlequin Romance novel with a character named Melissa (which is how she got my name). I'm trying to find that book, but that's really all I have to go on. (my mom passed away about 8 years ago, so I can't ask her about it) The book would have been printed before august of 1985.

P.S. me and my hubby are expecting our first baby and I thought it would be cool if I could find this book, and maybe find a name in it for our baby... Thanks!

I'm 3 days late & this morning I got when I got to work, I got this sudden HORRIBLE metal taste in my mouth, and a terrible wave of nasuea including sweating. What do you think it is?
