Ugh! I just had issue with this last night.

I was out to a restaurant with Darling Baby Daddy,DBD, and my sister and my little one was howling for some Mama Milk. I was in the corner of our booth and had two tops on which provided lots of coverage and I went to feed my DD and my sister says to me, "why don't you just go in the bathroom?!"

AH! I was soooooooo pissed off. My sister has watched me nurse a hundred times and she watched me give birth, so I know she wasn't saying this because it bothered her but she was worried what OTHER people might think.

It really made me more sad than angry, though. Sad that people would be disturbed by what my beautiful little girl and I share, that is, as folkharpist says, magical!

I've never seen a full out boob and I don't really want people to see my full out boob but people really do need to get their heads out of the gutter.

Ugh, my daughter is almost six months and still gets up 3-4 times a night. :(

I put her down between 6:30-7:30 every night.  and she'll usually cry at about 9 and I'll give her her paci. and then she'll get up at about 11 to eat. Then 2 or 3, then 5 or 6 and up for good anywhere between 7-8.

I want to let her "cry-it-out" but my baby daddy thinks she's starving and that's why she gets up so often. She's in the 10th percentile for weight and he's worried that she would disappear if I took away the night-time feedings!

That is a very pretty name. When was she born?

oh my gosh! I actually mistyped, my daughter is 4 months old and weighs 11lbs, 10 ozs! She was 7 lbs when she was born!

With your boy gaining weight just fine I bet you could easily cut out a few hundred Cals without hurting your supply.

Stopped the pill, tried one time two weeks later and got pregnant!

Early pregnancy feels so like being pre-menstrual that it can get very confusing!

My baby is only three months old and I already forgot what it felt like to be very early in the pregnancy. This is troublesome because my period is about five days late right now and I'm so paranoid I'm preggers again! It feels like I'm about to start my period but that is also what I remember feeling right before I found out I was prego about a year ago.

AH!

You mentioned that you were positive for Group B Strep. My doctor wouldn't strip my membranes because of that. I'm not sure why but you might want to ask your doc.

Why would you elect to have a c-section? You do realize it is MAJOR abdominal surgery, right?

I understand that there are emergency situations in which a C.S. is required but I do not understand why, with no medical reason, someone would choose to have one...

If it's the pain of l&d that worries you, you can always choose to have an epidural.

It's a bit crazy that you're worried about this and you are not even pregnant yet.

When I was preggers I was nervous about labor but it just happens and it's okay! And then you have your baby!

People do it without drugs all over the world and they even continue having more, so it can't be all THAT bad! :-) Don't worry so much!

Yeah, I'm now 3 months post-partum (on sunday) and I've only got 3 lbs to go!

kristijschramm and aeetheri both look awesome preggers!  Do you guys feel like you look(ed) good?

I felt like I looked pretty cute until the last two weeks. When I see my userpic, i'm like, "Damn! I was huge!"

I was still hiking on the trails near my home about 3 times a week, though, even with the ginormous belly!

Also, when I was about 4 months, when you're kind of showing but not really, I felt fat then. Like, I know why my belly is bigger but almost no one else does.

My daughter is 11 weeks old and I had the beta strep while I was prego, too.

I had been planning on laboring at home as long as possible because I wanted to avoid an epidural but with the strep they want you to be there to get a few doses of ampicilin before baby comes.

I labored at the hospital for about 10 hours and got three doses of Ampicilin. They gave me an IV and administered the doses four hours apart.

Baby was fine and I delivered with no other interventions.

I'm not a germphobe and I nurse my baby in bathrooms all the time. I don't take her in a stall. I usually just turn my back to the door and am as discreet as possible.

If the bathroom is a bit nasty or small I will nurse her in the car. We were at outback steakhouse a while ago and I just sat in the corner of our booth and nursed her with a sweater over her and my boobs.

Practice really makes perfect and the more you do it the more comfortable it will become for you.

Hello ladies! Week 1 Challenge.

For sure the best things about me are my ability to go with the flow, my no nonsense attitude, and my hair!

When life gets crappy I could mope and gain back some of the weight that i've worked so hard to lose but more often than not, I just adapt. I easily accept life's curveballs.

I also don't let those closest to me get away with anything. I keep everyone in check and hope that will return the favor for me when the moment arises!

Lastly, I had to do a physical trait, my hair! It's down to just above the small of my back and I've been coloring it black since I was in high school. I loooooove my long black hair!
