I am not a huge pet person so i am not sure i am the best to answer this question, but as a person with terrible pet allergies, i would have to say there is no way in a million years i would keep a pet in my house (b/c no amount of separating them will help, the dander would still be in the air/carpet/furniture) if my child was allergic. I feel miserable every time i am around a cat or dog for more than a few minutes. Even when i go to other`s homes i get stuffy, eyes are itchy and watery, and i get terrible headaches. I would never want a child to suffer that way b/c i was to selfish to find my animal a new home.

My little brother was allergic to our cat growing up, but it was just sneezing occasionally..nothing too serious didn`t get rid of the cat. Now if my child was asthmatic or something, that`s a different story. But I`ve heard if you have a pet when you bring your baby home, those babies have fewer pet allergies. We have a german shepherd, I would hate to have to get rid of him because of *severe* allergies, but it wouldn`t really be a question for me, we`d have to find him a new home.

I don`t know, I would be so heartbroken!!! Hopefully I`d have a friend who would love to love my kitties for me.

i have a little Pomeranian/Chihuahua and she stays inside. if my baby was allergic, i’d keep the dog outside and away from anything the baby would be around, let the dog sleep in the laundry room/garage or something. but if my baby was super allergic, i’d have my family friend take her. if your baby is super allergic, do you know anyone who can take your dog? so you can still see and visit your pup?? or is it possible just to keep the dog and baby separate?

  1. ok ladies, my pictures are all gone from my profile but my blogs and polls are still there,.. i have been waiting to see if it was just a glitch and they would come back but they havent.. do i need to make a new profile to fix it?
  2. When did do you pack your hospital bag?
  3. Regarding Porn on Polls
  4. Went to see Man On A Ledge on Tues.......BRILLIANT!!
  5. My friend has just started taking fertility tablets which the DR said could increase her chances of having twins by 10%. Did this work for any of you and did you have twins?
  6. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  7. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  8. 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!
  9. 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.
  10. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
