Pregnant & Psoriasis

Hi all! I am 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby. For the past 2 years I've been really struggling with psoriasis. I had it since I was little, but didn't have any problems then because I had only one spot on my knee. Now it covers large area on my leg and arms. I simply cannot wear shorts, skirts or t-shirts or anything with short sleeve... Does anyone know of a treatment that is safe during pregnancy & lactation period (since I am planning to breastfeed the baby)? Did anyone have an experience with this? I would really love to hear all...

Baby Shower for a Second Baby?

JUST CURIOUS to what others think about the topic. We are currently TTC our second child. We have a 17mo old little girl and I've saved all of her clothes and such just in case we have another girl the 2nd time around. (Although we'd love a boy, one of each!) I'm assuming that if we have another girl, then a baby shower is not really necessary since I wouldn't really need clothes and we'd probably end up buying the bigger items ourselves anyway and reuse a lot of the toys/equipment. Or is it reasonable to have a shower of sorts for a...

Cradle Cap Remedies?

My 2.5 month old has terrible cradle cap and now has icky crusty patches on his arms too. The ped only suggested we use Head and Shoulders for the cap but I know there's got to be something else to put on that could help. I started using Aveeno Baby body wash and lotion instead of the Johnson's but it's stayed the same. Any ideas?

Need Baby Registry Advice!

I am just getting ready to create a baby registry for baby showers etc. and I don't know what to add to it! There are so many different products and so many brands to choose from. I would love any advice anyone can give me as far as what gifts they used or liked the most, (and what brands they prefer) that would be good to register for. Thanks!

Painful Intercourse After Vaginal Delivery

I delivered my daughter last September and 4-1/2 months later it is still very painful to have sex. Has anyone else experienced this before? I think I read online that especially if you are breastfeeding (which I am), your estrogen levels are very low and this thins out the lining of the vaginal wall and therefore makes it uncomfortable during sex. My doctor says it is normal...even with lubrication it still hurts. I'm just wondering how many other women this actually affects?!

Acne Breakouts During Pregnancy

This is my third pregnancy, and once again, as before, I'm experiencing terrible acne over my face. I plan on talking to my OB about it, but am wondering what others have done to combat this safely during pregnancy, what a dermatologist suggested perhaps, etc. I have dealt with mild acne my whole life, and am very familiar with products, skin type, yada yada yada. I feel like I've tried everything (Even Proactive, which is too drying for me).It just really kicks up a notch due to hormones now. I do not have the money to spend on expensive...
