No, I had c-sections. (hubby was the only one) However my mother isn`t very good when it comes to blood and other liquids so I wouldn`t ask her anyway. :o)

I personally dont believe in anyone but that partner/DH/SO being there so it was always just hubby and I :)

no i would hate it my mum is way too interfering and controlling and i doubt she would respect my decisions so she would be the last person i would want there, infact i would only ever want my partner there as he did half the job at creating the little life so its not really down to anyone else to be there the moment we meet our little creation for the first time

My mom was in the room with me. It was never a question of `if`. I knew I`d want her in there and that she`d wanna be in there. I was 14 when my little brother was born and I was in the room. I saw him as he was born and it was amazing. I cried haha. My mom was great to have in there. She held one leg and my husband held the other. She was so encouraging and helped me push through the contractions. And she kept putting cold compresses on my neck when I was in labor and my husband gave me ice chips haha. If it wasn`t for their help and cheering me on, I don`t think my delivery would have been as easy as it was. I had a 3 hour labor and pushed for 20 minutes with no meds.

My mom was there but she stood in the doorway and didn`t say anything and my DH was up by my head helping me push...so it was almost like she wasn`t there (from my perspective), but I know it made her really happy :)

  1. 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.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. 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!
  4. 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?
  5. 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)
  6. 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!!
  7. 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!! :)
  8. 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!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
