Re: The Business of Being Born - #76297
I also highly recommend a doula, whether your married or not. I would also think many women that aren't married have friends or parents or siblings that are invested in their health and well being.

Re: The Business of Being Born - #76297
Your story actually backs me up. Your plan was to be at home. But when your water broke early, your instinct was to ask questions and found yourself at the hospital because of it. As for asking during labor... yeah. That's not gonna happen. But that's what husbands are for. I also believe husbands s...

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Sometimes I love autocorrect because it fixes all my typos. But then sometimes, especially when I'm on a computer and don't have the excuse of a tiny keyboard on my screen, I make a mistake and instead of just fixing it, I keep typing and wait to see if autocorrect will fix it for me. I fear I'm goi...

Re: What's for dinner?
We had Panda Express tonight. Because I was super accomplished today and actually wrote out a meal plan for the week, wrote a grocery list and went shopping before dinner. I even pulled out hamburger and had it defrosted to make swiss cheeseburgers. But then on my shopping list I wrote "hamburg...

Re: What's for dinner?
mic0, I'm glad you tried it! Too bad your crockpot is too small. That's weird that it overflowed, though. Mine simmers and has small bubbles, but never enough to overflow it. And I fill it to the brim. So it's also possible that your crockpot cooks hotter than mine, so it boils harder. Next time jus...

Just wanted to note that you *can* buy external DVD drives that attach to your computer. If you end up liking one that doesn't have one.

Re: #76506 - Movie choices
Not getting into the media portion here, but insofar as inappropriate Bible stories go, I think they actually usually (always?) do have a purpose. A moral purpose. But outside of Jewish culture, we miss a lot of them. We can't judge ancient Jewish stories based on modern American culture. One of my ...

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Not this time. Because of shipping we have to get them all done by like Wednesday, which doesn't leave enough time for handing things off. I've enlisted Random and my mother, though, so I won't actually die. I'm really glad about this. Because I took a several-day break from theboardboard, forgetti...

Re: The Business of Being Born - #76297
You misunderstood. Sorry I wasn't more clear. I don't think that every woman should know as much as a trained professional. But something as big as, "Hey, my water broke days ago, there's no more amniotic fluid for the baby to be in" should be a red flag to any mother. Any woman who has do...

Do you want me to ask my sis-in-law if she's interested in helping again? I have no idea if her schedule is busy or not, but if you want, I could ask.bobtheenchantedone wrote:Yeah, sure, I can handle your order for 150 bracelets that need to arrive in Australia by March 9! *dies*

Re: The Business of Being Born - #76297
Things like this are why I specifically interviewed my midwife options to see what they would do in case of certain emergencies. (Including the "emergency" induction I had with DB.) I asked about what things she transfers to a hospital for. I asked about backup OBs. Just as you should inte...

Re: Answers I liked
I remember when I first moved to BYU parking had a fee and UTA was free. I lived almost 2 miles from campus with a bus stop really close, so I took the free bus and never bought a parking pass. I loved it. I was So Sad the day I found out they were switching those.

Re: Labor Positions
Hey everyone on this thread: I've read with interest. Thanks for your informed opinions. I read Dragon Lady's blog regarding her second birth (hi, DL!) and that was the first time I even considered that home birth or laboring with few interventions was not completely insane. I actually watched The ...

Re: Labor Positions
Do you have data? I could find some. But I'm not going to. Because I have no desire to debate this. I will tell a story, though. Now up front I'm going to point out that this is my uncle's birth story and birth procedures have changed a billion times for the better since he was born in 1921. Leaps ...

Re: Labor Positions
Portia, I'd argue with you on this, but I see no point. You're firm in your belief, which is slightly humorous to me as you don't want children and seem highly opinionated about something that may or may not ever apply to you. I don't think anything I say would change your mind. I don't see a debate...

Re: Labor Positions
Just throwing in my two cents here: This discussion is incredibly enlightening, because, to be completely honest, I have never considered the different options of giving birth. Granted, I'm not in a position to have children, but I think I have always assumed that the hospital was the only option. ...

Retiring is HARD. Trust me. I know. But you can keep your friends and still go to many Board parties. And every spring you can indulge for Alumni Week! I'm kind of glad we didn't have thumbs up while I was there. Getting one of my answers in the top 10 favorites (and later losing it) was hard enough...

Re: Labor Positions
I think measuring the level of "hard" is a challenge because different people experience things differently. Dragon Lady herself described the birth of her second as a pain-free unmedicated birth. I've known other people who had unmedicated births and felt a lot of pain. Does that make th...
