| Thank you! Baby is due Dec. 10. We don't know the sex yet, we'll hopefully find out at my ultrasound on July 10. Are you doing anything to help you conceive like tracking your cycles and temperature, using ovulation predictors, things like that? They can help but some people get really obsessive abo... |

| I do have some sensory issues but I'm not squeamish at all. I can deal with trash, spoiled food, bugs, poop, other bodily fluids, injuries, etc. no problem. I'm a stay-at-home mom with two boys so I deal with a lot of these things almost daily. |

| Not impossible, since I'm married, but it was very hard before I met my husband. I think if I hadn't met him I'd still be perpetually single. He has an easy time talking to people and we just "clicked" and we go together very nicely. I do have an extremely hard time making and keeping friends. Right... |

| The way I see it is, the kid's gotta eat and they're just boobs. Of course I grew up seeing my own mother nurse all my younger siblings and so seeing a boob, especially when it's in the mouth of a baby, doesn't phase me in the least. BUT, about 99% of the time, the mom doesn't want you to see her br... |

I can't function without antidepressants, at least not right now, but I no longer need anti-anxiety medication.
Edit: I should add that I'm also on medication for GERD, asthma, and allergies and have been for a very long time. |

| I was born full-term and completely normal except that I was "sunny-side up", as in face-up instead of face-down like normal. I was pink and had no issues except jaundice. |

| I do have children, and I like being a mother, but not everyone feels cut out for it, which is fine. It's a personal choice and you shouldn't feel guilty or feel the need to justify your reasons. Some people will judge you no matter what. And some of those people might say you'll change your mind, b... |

| To me, dubstep sounds like a fax machine trying to have sex with a modem. It grates on my nerves and I don't get the appeal. But to each his own. |

| I had one put in after my last baby. Had it for about 20 months with good results. I only had it removed because we're trying for another baby. I'll probably get it again after the next baby. The only side effects I had were a bit of cramping on and off the first month. I had a regular period every ... |

| I wouldn't say I get extreme or strange side effects from medications. The worst I ever got was constant, terrible headaches from Wellbutrin, and if I have to be put under general anesthesia, I get terrible nausea after. But the others really aren't too bad. I get the occasional, mild nosebleed from... |
