I don’t have any Questions for the Four Moms thing this week, but here are some other questions I answered this week (most of them weren’t to me specifically, but I answered them anyway=)). With your first, how long were your contractions 10 minutes apart? I didn’t realize the ‘butterflies’ in my stomach *were* contractions […]
It’s time for another Thursday group of Q and A- questions readers have asked one of the Four Moms (or all of us). “I have an answer, let’s see if they match, as my husband likes to say when somebody says to him, “I have a question.” Q. I have a question […]
