After all, you think it over, take all the pregnancy and past do das into considereation and make the desicion with your dr and midwife who surely are more qualified to advise/agree than your random 'people die you know!' person!mamacrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484565827023574347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427538608110635294.post-31644062540034180362009-08-03T22:43:05.483-05:002009-08-03T22:43:05.483-05:00Mamacrow - to clarify - the "die" commen...Mamacrow - to clarify - the "die" comment was an example of things people barked at me, not me at them.

MUCH less then they used to, but it can and does still happen.. whats that great saying, a pregnant mother stands with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana skin?!<br /><br />In the end, I see the problem as the general sweeping under the carpet and hiding away of any kind of birth and death that seems to be part of society now, rather than birth and death being part of life, which is of course what it is.mamacrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484565827023574347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427538608110635294.post-76703091862454694992009-07-31T14:29:53.537-05:002009-07-31T14:29:53.537-05:00A+, will add to RSS feed.

People DIE doing that, you know. And here's some details yadda yadda yadda. <br /><br />I had three healthy home births just to spite the riffraff. And my first was two weeks overdue. I tried a cod liver oil and OJ in the freezer smoothy. And lots of sex helps too.Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14481252201307998355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427538608110635294.post-29976529518664242682009-07-30T15:10:11.135-05:002009-07-30T15:10:11.135-05:00Hey, loved this post - I'm 5 months pregnant w...Hey, loved this post - I'm 5 months pregnant with number 6, and am so with you on the 'OTHER PEOPLE become crazy'. My mother-in-law has rung me up TELLING ME OFF when I was ONE DAY over due! I mean, WTF?! And she had 6 so should know better!<br /><br />What REALLY F***s me off is how parenting books/sites are pretty much all geared towards first time parents, with the odd grudging bit about introducing no2 baby to no1 child, and if they do any birth order stuff it's only for three kids (Eldest, middle, youngest) so what does that mean for my (currently five) kid's psychological profile then?!<br /><br />Also not all hospitals and anti natel services are aholes. Really. I've had four births at home in the bath, totally supported by my GP and midwife service, in fact the midwife service down here is very home birth supportive and anti unecessary intervention.mamacrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484565827023574347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427538608110635294.post-55089693227129654152009-07-30T12:56:25.921-05:002009-07-30T12:56:25.921-05:00I love you so fucking much. *hygges*

One more thing I found when pregnant: You realise just how a-holeish white men in their 20's and 30's are "what do you mean you couldn't see the gigantic stomach squeezed in front of your face on the bus?" Amazing how frail old blokes would happily stand but healthy young ones? Turn their iPods up and pretend not to see your ankles doubling in size every five seconds...Lissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975707448103541108noreply@blogger.com
