My stepdaughter Ashley is pregnant, she is due June 17th but she is saying to me she can't take it anymore. The doctor says she is safe to have him now. Does anyone know...

You have to be careful with the castor oil - read up on it! It might work, but it could cause some potentially dangerous side effects. (The baby swallowing meconium, fetal stress, dehydration, etc.). Please read this before you let her do it! I hope she can tough it out, lay low in this heat, and just wait for the baby to be ready! :) http://pregnancy.about.com/od/induction/a/castoroil.htm

http://www.livestrong.com/ This website gives some good information on black cohosh in pregnancy. Yes, Michelle Croteau Meagher, a lot of midwives use this, but we don't recommend it. Castor oil is the BIG NO NO!

Dr. Jeffrey Cote at Wells Family Practice. Don't know if that's too out of your way. He sees most all of "us guys" in the area. Very gay friendly and he's a hottie to boot!!

Whole Life Healthcare is awesome!

Dr. John Cahill is a dentist across from Portsmouth Walmart. Silly, wonderful friend...
Stacey P. replied:
The first dentist in my life I actually like - Dr Harold on islington st - young girl not long out of school. Tom and I both really like her.

I see the same dr. as Jake. Adam and I both go to Garrison Family Dental in Dover. We see different dentists but our hygienist is Leah and she's super nice. They are also really conscious of costs since we don't have dental insurance...like not doing xrays unless we really need them, etc....not pushing extra, unnecessary services.
