I saved mine! I think it is a great keepsake. Just keep the cap on :)

You should contact a lactation consultant to help you out. Often, they can even do home visits. Check out la lache league to find one in your area. They may be able to help you over this hurdle so you don't have to switch to formula. If that doesnt …

Advice from my doula and lactation consultant: almonds, oatmeal, brewers Yeast are all lactogens and can help stimulate milk production. Also, fenugreek is helpful too. You can get it in a tea, pill, or tincture. They rec the tincture. You can find …

You can call around and ask. They will tell you over the phone. I just tried to switch but was denied because I am 38 weeks. I was told they won't take you after 28 weeks. However, I imagine you could find one that will at 32 weeks! If you aren't ha…

@mandac10 yes, I believe baby can still turn and this is one reason why I believe scheduling a c section is not the right move. I am now trying a homeopathic remedy called pulsitilla which is something I've heard can help baby turn. My doctor isn't…

@OctMommy Good luck to you too! I hope that your baby turns for you. I'm not sure where you are located but if you are interested I would suggest going to see a Chiropractor that is certified in the Webster Technique. If you are in the Los Angele…

Thank you everyone! Your advice, opinions, and words of encouragement are all very helpful. @homebirthadvocate my Doula has given me some recommendations and I am about to give one of them a call right now. I will let you know if I could use some…

@mrs_shu I appreciate your sharing your story with me. It sounds like I need to be more assertive with my doctor and not just sit back and accept what he is telling me as gospel. I agree, the c-section is totally for their benefit and convienence …
-
@mazyg08 I agree with you. That is exactly what I've been saying to my husband. I don't even feel as though I'm being given any options. I feel the right thing for him to do would be to tell me the risks of delivering both ways, tell me what he fee…
-
@caffeinated_katie Thank you for sharing your story with me. I agree, I'd really like to be able to go into labor naturally too. The thought of not even allowing that to happen just doesn't seem right. I suppose it's worth having the conversation w…
-
@homebirthadvocate Thank you SO much for your advice/opinion. I agree, how they get here does matter. That is exactly why we wanted a natural childbirth from the beginning. I never expected to be in this position and kick myself for not asking the r…

I also found it on Amazon.com for only $12.16 ($4 less than La Leche League).

I heard the book that @caffeinated_katie suggested is really good. You can order directly off the La Leche League website. http://www.lalecheleague.org/thewomanlyartofbreastfeeding/

@jazzi89 I think you are doing all the right things to get as prepared as you possibly can. I looked online and my town has a support group for breastfeeding mom's too. They have meetings you can go to after you deliver to get help with bf. Even th…

I am a first time mom too and so I don't have any advice at this point other than what I have learned in my research. Perhaps you may want to consider taking a Breastfeeding class through your hospital or taught by someone in your community. Check …

That has actually happened to me a handful of times. However, two times I was driving on the freeway. The second time it happened while I was driving and I also wasn't so lucky and hit another car. Luckily, no injuries but ended up in hospital for …

I agree, Adoption is a great option.

yeah, several and they all said I was having a girl. However, I'm having a boy :-)

This is one of the most interesting threads I have read in a while. My husband and I have been together since I was 18 years old and got married when I was 23. We will be celebrating our 11 year wedding anniversary in September (I am now 34). I wou…

Congrats!!

I love animals too - grew up with them. Goats, chickens, sheep, horses, rabbits, ferrets, dogs, cats, birds, fish...all kinds! It was fun but that was when I lived back east in the country with my family. Now I live in SoCal and I get my animal fix…

You have the right to refuse pitocin. Also, I am very surprised that your midwife said that to you. They are usually big proponents of natural births which is why many people choose to use one. Make a birth plan, research the benefits and risks of …

Smoking during pregnancy whether its a lot or a little is risky. The potential negative effects are proven and well researched. As are the negative effects on any human being exposed to smoking. If you are willing to take those risks that is up to y…

He is the one in jail, not you. He should not expect you to stay home and do nothing while he is in jail.

Take another one first thing in the monring. It's best to do it with your first morning urine rather than waiting until the middle of the day or drinking lots of water to make yourself have to go to the bathroom. Good Luck!

Im going to continue what I have alwayd done and eat healthy and well balanced. Lots of veggies, fruit, whole grains, nuts, fish and chicken. I eat about 6 times a day and never let myself get super hungry that I overeat. Im still exercising 5-6 day…

I plan on a natural hospital birth too. The Business of Being Born is a great movie to watch. Also taking natural childbirth classes (bradley).
-
GIt doesn't hurt to ask your md if that is what you want. They will tell you if they are willing to do that.
-
if u can and insurance allows, go to another OB or midwife. They all practice a little differently and you might be able to get in sooner. Mine saw me at 8 weeks and did a trans vag ultrasound to confirm along with a blood test. You should b able to…

Our bodies are made for childbirth. Dont let anyone tell you that you can't do it. Just go into it being prepared for all scenarios. Learn all the different comfort methods, take classes if u can. Read books if you can't. There are so many amazing b…
