About Dr. Tara Kompare, Pharm.D. Expertise I can answer a broad range of questions related to community pharmacy practice. My particular
interests include childrens` health and safe medication use for seniors. As the mother of two small children, I am quite knowledgable on many parenting issues from how to handle
a baby with colic to how to get kids to take their medicine. With regards to medication use in seniors, I can answer questions about adverse effects, drugs to generally avoid
in that population, and disease management issues.

Tia,
I read you post with interest in that I too weighed 78 pounds when pregnant and tipped the scales by gaining 23.5 pounds, hee hee, hitting 101.5, never to go past 80-84 pounds again. I am now 41 and still petite, glad to know I am not the only light weight around :)
PS my baby weighed 8lb 8oz and was 21 inches, YOU??
