I had a drug free home water birth. I highly recommend it. Great for pain management and a lovely peaceful natural way to birth.

I had a home water birth (after two hosptal births)and it was the most amazing experience! My hubby and I had deliberated for a long time, weighing up the pros and cons, but I was fortunate to have a very supportive midwife who does a lot of home births and I can honestly say it was the best decision we ever made. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a water birth.

I`d be so afraid of pooping in the water!

i would love a waterbirth but they dont let us do them here unless we do a home birth and even then the midwives dont really like doing them :( i wanted one with DD but they told me i couldnt

It seems nasty to me that you are sitting in your birth stuff. If that kind of stuff doesnt bother you then you might enjoy it. I just would never do it because I wouldnt want to sit in that.

I had one!! I LOVED it! I got to deliver her myself. I labored for two hours on the ball in the shower and then during transistion switched to the tub and my daughter was born in under two hours in the tub. I was naked but didnt feel exsposed because I was in water. If its offered where you deliver go for it! I was also allowed to delay cord cutting and stayed in the water after the birth for a while. We drove about 30 miles to go t o the birth center to have a water birth over the regular hospital. Sooo worth it.

  1. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  2. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  3. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  4. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  5. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  6. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  7. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  8. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  9. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  10. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
