Maybe I missed it, but has the original poster replied to questions (i.e....the current health of mom/baby etc...)?????????? In the abscence of that, I think whomever originally posted this thread is just trying to fire people up. Just my 2 cents.......

You also have to think about the fact that most (if not all) of the needles used to practice with aren't knitting needles size :uhoh21: , they are very, very small, like insulin needles. Also, it took me 15 yearsto start getting over my fear, but I...

Sounds gross, but I remember my mom giving me un-gelled warm Jello to drink....also, sucking on a wet washcloth....what about Gatorade or maybe Sprite with food coloring (blue for Blues Clues or red for Elmo??). A Coke float (ice cream w/ Coke on to...
