Hi Laura, How about a breastfeeding while pregnant forum? Unless you already have one and I just haven't discovered it yet. Lol

I had staples. They weren't bad. Actually they were removed within 24hours and I have a very fine scar as well. Actually you can't even see the scar unless I show were it was.

Speaking of c-sections, I would have loved throughout my recovery last time around and now my upcoming one if there was a forum on 'classic incision' c-sections. I am about to have my 2nd one and I would love to talk to other people who have had one. It is definitely NOT the same as a traditional c-section, so I think it would be very beneficial for us girls who go through them to have other people to talk to about it.

Hey Laura, I love this site but I was wondering if the C-section pic could be changed? Its pretty rare for obstetricians to use staples these days, especially if the woman says she would prefer stitches....before mine I had a look at that pic and it scared me unnecessarily.....no staples to be yanked out after the op, and just a fine line of a scar!

What happened to the chat room? That would be nice too

It'd be great to see a section on weaning a child from the binky/pacifier as this is a huge challenge for many parents. It'd be very helpful to share techniques and success stories with others :)

Hi Laura :) I know I asked this before, can the autism forum be changed to autism spectrum disorder since that it what it really is. Autism is only one part of the spectrum. Then add a blurb on it about the various placements ~ this is my recent post on a poll ~ 'My son has Autism Spectrum Disorder, There is autism (classic/severe autism ~ Rain Man), moderate autism, mild autism (has language delay) high functioning Aspergers (no language delay), PDD-NOS. Ret and others are also considered on the spectrum I believe too. My son has Mild Autism with Communication Language Delay ~ There are also many co morbids too that can be common along with ASD.' TX!!

Great idea mountainmama ~ I've been on many sites looking for an active site like this that is helpful and the only one I found was this ~ I would love to see it added to the autism forum!! http://www.asdfriendly.org/board/index.php?

in the section dealing with after baies are born, my son had pyloric stenosis, which i hear is quite common, it requires surgery to be fixed,i would love to have a section to that on here somewhere..i guess in birth defects??...or i dunno really what its under...??

it would also be great to have on the autism page links to other well known & reputable websites for parents to access the information easily ~~~ especially parents rights & diagnostic criteria....

i agree with RobinG that the autism forum should be changed to Autism Spectrum Disorders. RobinG is right on when saying that children living with ASD can range greatly in abilities and skill level. ASD includes autism, aspergers, pervasive development disorder, etc. ....a name change would make the forum more inclusive.

I know when I was expecting over a year ago they had a place where youcould go into a chat room and talk to other. I actually liked it. It was so much quicker.

Hi Laura, first of all, I love this site and it's a great job you guys are doing keeping this site up..I have a request..I am having twins and in a recent scan, one of my babies has been diagnosed with mild renal pyelectasis ( dialation of kidneys).I tried to find some info on this site but could not find that topic. Can you please add this to the forums. It is not a birth defect but something that resolves on its own before birth or with a small surgery after birth. I would love to talk with other moms who may have heard about this and get real time info..thanks!

Sorry for the late responses here, ladies. Robin-Babyy Sign Language has been added to the site. I will check on changing the name of the forum. I will weed through the suggestions, add the ones we can and notify tech of the programming suggestions.

Hi Laura :) I was chatting on the autsim forum and another mom agreed too that the autism forum would be better named ASD Autism Spectrum Disorder. I had suggested this sometime back... The spectrum is huge and ASD is the actual dx since it covers not just classic autism but aspergers, mild, moderate, PDD-NOS. And many who think of autism think of classic not realizing there is a HUGE difference between mild and classic. Can we change the name please? Hunter has autism and is mild but the medical DX is ASD. TX!!

I had mentioned this before and think it will be very beneficial since so many do it because it is necessary and not just an interest. A forum on sign language. TX!

I agree with Jennsorr. It would be so nice to have a link on my profile page -- every time I have a weekly forum, it's so easy -- one click and I'm there. But every time I miscarry I lose that, and it would be so much nicer to have the TTC After Loss page linked to my page. It's easier then to see who all belongs to our forum too. Thanks!!!

I am suggesting a baby name forum. So you can ask people what they think of that names you picked! Thanks.

is there a way to set a forum for you profile. Like when your pg you have the link at the top that takes you to your week or mth if you have had a baby. Is there a way to set it to go where you want... like gen ttc, ttc after loss or preg after loss??

I think an area on our page where we can write privately. Like personal information or a personal blog and no one else can view it. Sometimes I want to write a blog or information I'd like to look back at down the road or through other pregnancy's but I don't necessarily want others to read about it.

Hi Laura, on the baby month to month pages. When you click the picture of 22months it takes you to the 2month page. The numbers on the top of the page works but not the months along the sides.
