You get cupons don't you ? I'm sorry I get extremely upset when it comes to this subject. I bf'd my 1st ( and only child) for 13 months, and wasn't happy when she weaned. The fact is ( in my opinion) with all the knowledge and research done on this ...

How about Charmin ?? Nothing like being named after d*m toliet paper!!! A girl I know named her son after a liquor ( nice, huh?) I can't remember how to spell it..cavasier. I don't know, she was 19 and drunk alot, probably how she wound up preggo.

That was very creative! You did a good job!

If the tubing and horns are a seperate entity and milk does NOT pass through any machinery ( assuming you are HIV free, and not one drop of blood has came from your nipple because of them being cracked), it is safe for multiple users (per FDA-supposi...

Ok, well assuming that because she's going to be a nurse and "shouldn't " as you've said participate in pro-choice activities, then why don't we just start making choices for our patients, I mean let's forget how they feel. Why give chemo to patients...

I can't say anymore than anyone else has, except this, if and when you feel appropriate, perahps you could drop her a nice card and just thank her for doing everything that she has done for you personally/professionally. At least, she'll feel better,...

She only has 12 posts for pete sake's!!! How can she be always asking these questions??? Golly!!!! It's always refreshing to know that nastiness follows you wherever you go, eh ? I'm sorry I can't help, haven't gotten that far, but...I'm sure that s...

You are such a strong woman, my thoughts, prayers and well wishes are with you.

Geez, this is a long story. For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to take care of people. My mom was married to a very aggressive ( and abusive) husband, who would constantly run her down, insult her, and sad to say, but send her to the E...

I can only say this as a student, the daughter of a Nurse and D.O., but I think image. People (even when I worked as a CNA) often see scrubs and a woman and think "cutsey little nursey-girl". I'd like to see Nurses treated professionally, and not lik...

You did exactly the right thing. Don't sweat it. If anything you are helping your friend ( who, btw, IMO is just using you for what she can get) to either manage her money well or b) learn that life only offers so many "free-rides". I doubt that she ...

Yuppers she needs to be more than reprimanded. But, I don't see that happening, of course I'm sure you don't either. I'd work for as long as you can ( assuming the financial need is there, and if not-leave) while you find another job, write a letter ...

You're right Blue eyes about high jacking the thread, and to be honest, that was not at all my intentions, honesty. But, like I've said to every other poster, I don't need you to add your 2 cents to the situation, my original point with the post stil...

Please save it. I have 5 years of listening that same garbage you are trying to feed me. My point was, the Texas RN FNP ( or whatever it is) showed her true colors by her statement, and only people with that rational of thinking believe they are sup...

The BabyComp is an ovulation predictor of sorts-with a whole lot of extra du-hickeys added. The time at which you concieve plays a big part in the sex of the baby ( vaginal secretions..etc etc). Like I said, it worked for us. It's really quite a long...

My thoughts exactly. You just never know what or how people are going to react. I think he is way out of line for his threats, and I'd be hurt too. We have a gun in our house, and, truth be told, when DH leaves for the field or on a deployment, I fee...

likewise.

We used something called a babycomp, and it worked. Even though the first U/S lady said my baby was a boy, the second U/S confirmed what we had wanted, a little girl.

Interesting you should say this. I delivered my baby as an E-4 while my husband was an E-5 and the treatment at the hospital was....well, the reason why I won't EVER be having any children again. IGNORANT, IGNORANT, IGNORANT. I had an "officer" tell...

A great friend of mine is a CNM, she recently left AD Army ( didn't like it anymore), but, she's telling me now, that she can't find a job outside of Military Hospitals working as a CNM, and is now forced into Practice with a CPM, doing a lot of home...

I've noticed that here on Ft. Hood, even while I was AD, why do so many people leave the MC to go Army ?? Just a question...........

I did NOT disclose my pregnancy until I was almost in my 5th month. It's a catch 22-no matter what descision you make. Me...I would hold off on telling them. But that's just me. Congrads BTW ! :balloons:

http://www.texasmidwives.com/SafetyStats.htm Mind you this is for Texas, not any other state, just to play Devil's Advocate here. he following table lists the infant mortality rate of midwives, CMNs, MDs and DOs for 1990 - 2000. Infant Mortality Rat...

I certainly couldn't have said it better. Do it now, while you can, before you all get PCS'ed. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly.
