My son got a staph infection on his bottom and I`m pretty sure it was from a public changer. I would just be sure to use some protective padding or clean it really well first and last.

I try to avoid them using them, and I go out shopping a lot. I usually use the stroller that lays back too or in the car if it`s nice out. The germs on them just gross me out....I can`t even think about it right now. I`ve used them before with a pad underneath, but I don`t like to. They kind of scare me too....some of them seem so unsturdy, even if I am right there.

My daughters stroller which i normally use when we go out, lays back fully so i just changer her in the restroom in her stroller...its awesome...but yeah sometimes if its not a blow out emergency i will just to go the car, but i have had to use one before and ill just have her stand most the time and shes good at bending over lol...

I have NEVER used one. It amazes me when I see a mom plop their child on one with nothing under neath. They are full of germs. I just take my daughter out to the car and change her there. I always put a dry diaper on right before we leave so most of the time I don`t need to change her when we are out, unless of course we are out for a long period of time.

NEVER NEVER NEVER!! This is one of my favorite reasons to practice elimination communication! NO need to use public changing tables!

I try so hard to never have to use them but if I have to I`ll wipe them with disinfectant, place towels down then place my changing pad on the paper towels. My LO caught Rotavirus when she was about 2 1/2 months old. I take no chances on her ever catching any nasty bug again!

  7. I`m at 19 weeks, and just had my 20 week ultrasound a week early (thank you THANKSGIVING!!), am overjoyed to find out everything is A OK BUT I have `marginal Placenta previa` my midwife says she`s NOT concerned and that it will VERY VERY VERY likely move up on its own and I can deliver naturally and vaginally as planned, if not I have to have the dreaded C-section. Which i`m SO terrified over I get into a panic every time i think about it. So, my question is: Has anyone here HAD marginal placenta previa and had it move up by the time the baby is born?
