After hearing what you all think in regards to posting photos on the forums, we have modified the rules and ask that everyone familiarize yourself so that the site continues to remain friendly for everyone, including new members. In an effort to be respectful of all members of the site, we ask that members do not post more than ONE photo or video per person in the weekly, monthly and information forums. Your ONE picture should be small in size as well. Any large photos will be deleted. You are welcome to post as many pictures as you would like in the photo books, which were created for the purpose of sharing and viewing photos. You may also post as many blogs as you would like with photos in them. We understand that many members enjoy posting and viewing pictures on the forums, but this is not where they belong. We must keep the pictures on the boards to a minimum so that the written comments can continued to be written and read. Otherwise, the numerous amounts of large pictures squash the messages and they become missed. We ask that this modification be respected, therefore any member that continues to post numerous pictures a day will be deleted from the site. Thank you all for helping us keep the site friendly and welcoming for all members.
Dirk - Friday, 5 December Message to all: In the last 2 years you all posted 1.1 million photos to the site, and that needs a little maintenance. We are currently renaming all photos from the personal photobooks in order to speed up the site. Some, or all your photos may not show while we are working on the photobooks. You don't have to do anything. We hope to have all photos sorted in about 24 hours from now. You can upload new photos to your photobook while the computer is working on your other photos. Thanks for reading.

tiffjd - Tuesday, 21 October Hi Bonnie! It's good to see that Lori-Annis doing well and talking! Wow. Owen says a couple of words and can point to things, but he has been more concerned with walking. He's been walking by himself since about a week beore 10 months. He's trying to run now! He actually tripped and fell into our ottoman Sunday and busted his top lip. There was blood everywhere! So scarry, but it stopped in about 5 minutes and he sucked on a popsicle and was back to running around again. I lurk on this site occasionally, but I miss reading about all you guys who were pregnant when I was. I hope all is well with you and everyone.
Take care, Tiffany

Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Bri - Wednesday, 24 September Congrats on your little one. My supply goes up and down. I work so I pump part time. To get more I soak a half cup of old fashion oats in a half cup of water. I heat it up and put maple syrup on it and eat it. Taste nasty but it works. I pump twice a day and went from getting 10oz to 16oz over night. My sister pumps three times daily and went from 18oz to 26oz. My sons been sick so my supply is really low right now. His fever just broke though! YAY! He got a cold on Friday and we went to the doctor on Saturday because his balance was way off. He just couldn't walk straight so I thought he might have another ear infection....of course I'm right. So we're on antibiotics for that and then the fever hit us Sunday. I'm sorry your section went wrong. My was awesome. I wanted to go all natural but because of a severe case of PUPPS and all the meds I was on I tried inducing. After a week on nothing we opted for a section. I was back to my old self within a week. We were walking around Costco on day 6. I think I'm a good canidate for one because I healed really quickly. As for getting pregnant again. I think most doctors want you to wait at least 18months for your body to completely heal. I think I may be though. We'll see. I took a test last Friday and it was negative but I haven't had my period and I think it may have been too early to tell. I'm planning on getting another test tomorrow and taking it Thursday morning. I've been nauseous and tired for about a week now. I can't shake the feeling that I am. The first time around I got pregnant on the pill. We've been using condoms but we didn't on the 6th because they just aren't as fun. What's one night, right? Well we'll see. This one won't be planned either but it wasn't trying to be stopped either. If it is, it is. If not, then oh well and we'll wait the two years like planned. Good Luck to you!

esyogurl - Thursday, 28 August Hmmm, we aren't trying yet. I just started college and it would be bad timing. Cody is such an active little boy that it would be too much for me at this time as well. I would love to have another child tho. Depending on how college and finances go, i would like to start trying late next year. Hope all goes well when you start trying :)
elizabethk - Tuesday, 26 August I sure will, hows it going? i know i didn't want to carry a baby through the summer so that is why we went ahead and tried. God Bless

ezakovich - Monday, 14 July hey, bonnie. no teeth for Frankie yet either but his sister's didn't get them until 9 months so not worried. He's looking more and more like his daddy everyday so said it's a good thing he's a boy since he'd be a pretty ugly girl! we are very worried our dog is going to scratch the baby too. the dog gets so excited sometimes and afraid he will step on the baby not realizing. most of the time, he loves the baby. he even shares toys. i actually think the baby thinks they are brothers. he started in on his dogfood this morning. hope to hear from you.

wonderinginIA - Friday, 23 May PRETTIEST MOM Once you have been hit, you have to hit 5 pretty Moms. If you get hit again, You will know you are REALLY pretty! So hit 15 pretty moms on your friends list to let them know they are pretty! Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom. Send this to someone who you think is a special Mom.''
La-Dolce-Vita - Wednesday, 14 May Hi! I love that you use the word gama. We use it in our house too. There a Grandma and a Gam-ma. Although I always say it's gonna be interesting to hear Sabrina call my mother Gam-ma when she's like 30 or something! It doesn't quite have the same ring as when there little!
