the way you were sewn...

feeds@yuku.com (recycling goddess) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:04:49 GMT

my midwife would like us to get the records of our c-section - so she can see how i was sewn up. apparently there's a way you can be sewn which doesn't allow you to birth vaginally? anyone heard of this or know about this?

The upchuch thread... Don't read if ya have hyperemesis! LOL!

feeds@yuku.com (Titus2woman) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 06:12:35 GMT

I know this is TMI, but had a REALLY FUN experience yesterday! Wanted to share in case anyone else experiences it and is worried. I woke up and had a violent throw-up yesterday and then felt like there was something HUGE stuck in my throat. Would not budge even through more of the same~come to find out it was just irritated from stomach acids. Very uncomfortable~enough so that I couldn't eat solid food and at first was hard to talk. Did hot tea/popsicles/a milkshake in the evening....

seriously...

This is for Mandy to live vicariously through me. I don't want it on every one of my posts cause honestly... I'm sooooo into enjoying every moment of this pregnancy and not looking at the finish line in any sense of the word.

I usually get very "I want this over" in the last two months and I won't do that this time. This time is all about patience, and cherishing and pampering and and and... you get my drift!

So... here ya go Mandy...

Very cute story and video...

Now... if I have a lotus birth, can I still use the placenta later? I guess not eh? Cause I'm guessing that it'll go bad - being attached to my babe for a few days.

unassisted birth and lotus birth... anyone have either or both of these?

feeds@yuku.com (recycling goddess) — Wed, 27 May 2009 11:50:10 GMT

i'm wondering if anyone here had either of these... unassisted homebirth and/or lotus birth. i'm leaning towards both of these if we are blessed with another babe.

i've been doing lots of reading and unless i find a reason NOT to lotus birth, that will definitely happen. i would like to have an unassisted birth but my hubby isn't sure about it. i know that if i do enough research on it to make me 100% comfy with it, he will be as well.

so... any info from...

solids: proteins and grains

feeds@yuku.com (heathermoon) — Tue, 26 May 2009 02:13:46 GMT

Hello all!

Elsie eats fruit and veg, but was just wondering at what point you introduced proteins (nuts, seeds, meat if not vegetarian, obviously!---and I know not to introduce eggs and dairy until she's a year, right??) and grains (like rice and oats, if you're not living RAW!)

thanks
love

going to solids

feeds@yuku.com (heathermoon) — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 01:40:03 GMT
hello! it's me again!

does everyone basically recommend The Baby Book for advice on introducing solids? Or are there other favorites or other advice you have?

cheers!

nighttime vs daytime feeding

feeds@yuku.com (heathermoon) — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 04:11:47 GMT
We co-sleep and Elsie calmly feeds three times overnight. Peaceful. Just roots a bit to let me know she wants to eat. No big deal. (Apart from my own long-term issue of insomnia!)

But during the day, she is so easily distracted and probably only eats twice calmly (long ones)! If only I could get her to eat during the day and save the nights for sleeping... but I know this may just be what she prefers... But in case there is a loving solution to this... Should I just try to feed her...

Stretchmarks: Pls help...

I am pregnant and want to know if anyone has had any luck with skin care for stopping stretchmarks? I have heard that some are not safe to use and can harm my baby but I am so confused by which ones are ok and actually work to prevent stretchmarks, as I happily grow into my 9 month bump!

Pregnant with baby # 5

Hello everyone!
We are expecting our fifth child in July. I am around 11 weeks pregnant and starting to get over morning sickness. I didn't have morning sickness with my last four babies, so it is shocking to have it with this one.

Help!
What all can I do to encourage more milk supply?

I was away for 3 days (4am Sat morn until 11pm mon night) this weekend. I was so sore!!! By monday the heavy leaking had subsided and i seem to have reached an equilibrium. Big boobs, moderately sore, no leaking. Sat and sunday were horrid! I did not want to encourage more letdown, sp i only relieved pressure, never really "pumped". i made sure to masage all around my breasts too. no blocked ducts...

feeds@yuku.com (heathermoon) — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 05:00:28 GMT
Hi all. Decided to start a new thread/topic that didn't have the word Pain in it.

So, we've decided on pumpkin scones to make while waiting for the baby. They're very simple and represent a combination of the North American (me) and the English (DP). DP doesn't trust that they will turn out right the first time, so he's off to our allotment to get the pumpkin he's grown and is going to start...

pain in the home stretch

feeds@yuku.com (heathermoon) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:06:52 GMT
Hi all. I seem to have injured my upper back (near shoulder blade) and am in so much pain! Tylenol/paracetamol isn't helping, and I don't really want to be on any drugs anyway. PLUS the ligaments in my inner thighs are so loose now... oh so painful! I don't mind the second set of pain so much, as I know it means I'm getting ready for the baby. But the other pain is SO agonising... for no good reason!
