My uncle once asked a telemarketer for their phone number so he could call her back after he finished his dinner. She was so shocked that she just hung up.

I can't stand that some people just cannot breast feed and it is no reflection what so ever on your parenting skills. I was unable to breast feed my son due to medication I was on and he is a perfectly healthy child. He is 5'1" at 9 years old and has straight A's in school so his brain function is good and he is obviously…

Mine wants to sleep on her stomach, but I cannot allow it. As long as you check on your baby side sleeping should be fine. You can purchase a product to help aid in side sleeping my sister used it with her son and he was fine he is now a healthy 3 year old. Unfortunately SIDS is a reality and its scary especially in boys…

My birth story. Finally have a few minutes my mom is helping out. At 245am on Monday Dec. 10 I woke up with lower back pain that would come and go not very strong so I thought maybe they were just gas pains since they went away. Over the next few hours they increased and I began to time them at 5am they were 13 min apart…

With my son I used Dreft. With my daughter we use All fragrance free and I find it to be not any more expensive than any other detergent and I was my stuff in it too.

I had that and it turned out to be the start of labor. It started out as pressure and then a few days later I woke up with crazy lower back pain and it was contractions (yes you can have contractions in your back). Believe me it is the worst I have had contractions both ways back and pelvic and I will take the pelvic ones…

For those who do not know I had my baby on Dec. 10 (was due Dec. 15). Will post a birth story when I have time. Its been a rough go this time and I am cranky so give me a little time. good luck to you guys still waiting hope it is easy and fast for you just not too fast.

Just to let you know that I had my baby at 728am this morning. I am in the hospital so I will give you my birth story when I get home :smile: She obviously did not want to be induced on Wed. Just trying to rest and breastfeed.

Sorry about all the swelling. I fortunately never had a swelling issue. I swelled a little after delivery. I have always been told that elevation and water is best to try to get it to go down. I wouldn't try and exercise. Usually swelling that bad is preeclampsia but its uncommon to see it so early according to my doctor.…

I have been having the hip and inner thigh pain since October. I know how you feel if I sit too long its hell getting up and trying to walk. Be selfish now that I am days away I am ready, but can admit that I will admit the me time I have had since my son is 9 and doesn't need all my attention.

Just had my 38 week appt. 3cm dilated, 70% effaced and if I do not go into labor before she will be making an appearance on Wed. (12/12/12) . Getting really excited. I have one more appt though on Monday she is still a little high so he wants to look one more time before he induces.

Epidurals are common and I believe are offered at least for me it was. I had my first one 9 years ago and they asked me and I had one without reserve. Yes in my opinion made my delivery so easy. I had to wait until I was so far dilated and for my blood work to come back but once they gave me mine I slept for 4 hours before…

I am on a special diet to try to prevent the baby from gaining too much weight since my son was so big. If you would like I could give you a sample menu of what I am allowed to eat I had only gained 7lbs and now I am down to only gaining 4lbs total. I am never going hungry and in fact sometimes its too much food and I do…

Who can say 30lbs in 9 days that is fantastic hopefully it will only be toning left when you can really get back to it.

You look like you have already dropped. I am due on the 15th and I still haven't dropped she is still high. Supposed to be induced on the 10th because of size they are supposed to confirm on Thursday. Don't worry about your weight it doesn't show so you will probably drop it fast.

Oh my god that is insane. So glad you are ok. Your poor husband enjoy her and try not to scare anyone else.

Thanks for sharing. Crazy time glad you didn't know what was going on it was scared the pants off me. Can't imagine hope you aren't in too much pain. How big/small was he?

Well the doctor pulled me from work today. He told me enough is enough today and that I need to rest instead of worrying about my job. Somehow I lost 4lbs from Thursday to today. Who knows I just hate being confined. Never did get the temp trained my husband told me I shouldn't worry, but I do its my job and my…

Ha Ha too funny. I never in either pregnancy wake up in the middle of the night with a craving. I think my husband would have divorced me if I had. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Ok so lost my mucus plug this morning and ever since everyone has been waiting for the baby to come. No one understands that it is no guarantee that labor is going to happen it could still be days and weeks away. Still not stopping everyone from making their predictions. My husband thinks we will be going in tonight in the…

Hey no worries I just washed my baby stuff this past Sunday and my hospital bag is only halfway packed. I still have to get a few things for the baby that I don't have like a crib cover another crib sheet, desitin little things like that. Smte: Maybe you should get one outfit for the baby to go home in if you do have a…

I carried my son between my legs through the last part of my pregnancy that sitting was very unladylike. This pregnancy has been a lot different and I have had crazy hip and pelvic pain. I am just ready for it to be over. I know some people love being pregnant and I enjoyed myself during the second trimester, but I am done…

37 week appt and baby is still high. She is so high that I feel her feet directly under my chest. It is so hard to breath and I am becoming really uncomfortable fast. Even talking can cause me to become out of breath. I did dilate 2cm so no baby right now. Was informed that I am being induced the week of Dec. 10 so only 1…

You don't remember Justice???? they spelled it Justus and he was a Quartermaine one of Edwards illegitimate children. He was a lawyer. They had him on in the early 90's then brought him back in 2003 before killing him off.

With my son I got my way I wanted to name him Justice (after a character on General Hospital, I know cheesy right). I wanted to name this little girl Grace but my SIL stole it and used it after I told her. She would have been Grace Kathryn. Then I wanted Charlotte Kathryn and hubby shot that down. He chose Jordan so I…

Run to a financial advisor first!!!!! Then I would pay off all student loans and any debt (luckily for me its not a lot). I would put money away for my kids educations, write my parents a check to try to pay back all the times they helped me out without asking for repayment. I would also get my puppy dog a friend to hang…

I am 37 weeks and 3 days and I just finished eating pumpkin cookies and vanilla ice cream (it was breyers carb smart vanila). I know how you feel and I am just embracing it I went early with my last one so I will probably go early with this one too. I have only gained 7lbs so hopefully I will be ok.

I went to a dietician and was put on a special diet and they set my calories at 2100. I have a hard time meeting that but I try my best. I am 37 weeks and have only gained 7lbs which I am told is fantastic because right now its all baby.

I've overall felt pretty good during pregnancy and I think a lot of it comes down to trying to focus more on the positive than the negative. I've had a lot of hip/pelvic pain and some days it's completely overwhelming, but it helps to try to think about what's going right (baby's strong heart rate, how cute he/she was at…

the packs of crackers I usually buy a variety pack so its something different everyday I can pick from. The ones I buy are from Lance and I can get a pack of 8 from walmart for $2.18. Those keep me the fullest longest. I used to go for a piece of fruit like a banana or a pre sliced apple, but I found I would be hungry soon…
