Yes, I look at the BabyCenter board daily, even if I don't post that much(ususally someone else has said exactly what I was going to say.) My screenname on BBC is MysonBobby. I got most of the information for my posts from the board, with the links a...

Either side is equally safe as far as safety is concerned. When Bobby was first born my parents had installed it behind the driver's seat thinking it would be easier for me to get him in and out so I wouldn't have to go to the other side of the car b...

Yeah, I understand the not fitting in the car thing. I drive a 4 door Saturn SL-2 and even getting Bobby's Evenflo infant seat with the handle down to fit was a nightmare. The main thing with the Graco either the snugride or the safe seat(and I think...

It actually says in all infant seat manuals NOT to ever put the seat on top of a shopping cart because it is dangerous if the seat were to fall or the cart to tip, which is very easy due to the cart now being top heavy due to the infant seat being th...

Here is the car safety board at babycenter.com http://boards.babycenter.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=bcus9421 They will answer all your questions and give you good advice on everything and also give you links to other site with good information. Pers...

I was given Stadol because they didn't want to give me an epidural yet. It was early in labor(about 5 hours before I had my son) so my son had no bad effects from it but still, never again. My husband said I was cussing like a sailor and I know I had...

With a pt who doesn't have dementia you can and do have to bring them back to reality when they get off track. About 9 years ago my boyfriend at the time and I were living in Vegas and boyfriend's mom's ex-husband's stepfather(George) who was in his ...

Ryker. My cousin actually named his son this. Everytime I see Ryker I want to call him 'Numer One.' My ex-husband(a huge Star Trek fan and yes I know the spelling is different) laughed himself silly when I told him what my cousin was going to name hi...

I was induced at 39 weeks for PIH. My doctor wanted to induce me at 38 weeks but luckily the way things worked out I was induced at exactly 39 weeks. When I went in the night before to have my cervix ripened they were super busy, I think I spent an h...

I had my Mirena inserted Dec 02 and was not on my period so they had to open my cervix slightly to insert it. Yeah, it hurt but felt nothing like labor pains. I had had my son in Sept that year so labor pains were still fresh in my mind. It was great...

I have a friend whose last child was 14 lbs at birth. It was a natural childbirth, no meds and vaginal. Her child is now around my age(27) and was born in a military hospital and she says she thinks that is why he was born vaginally instead of via c/...

I ended up having to go last week for severe nausea, diarrhea, mid-ab pain(8/10 a lot worse than early-mid labor pains.) Vommitting, oh I wish I could have vommitted I think it would have made me feel better. Sadly, I'm a retcher and a heaver and whe...

If you have a 'pimple' in your perineal area that starts growing, weeping, and gets really hot and painful you should prolly go to the dr and get it checked out since chances are it's staph. LOM didn't and ended up losing his penis and testes and end...

This is a case of the truth being stranger than fiction. He wanted a divorce and got a girlfriend the next day(I have a feeling she had been on the side for a while) after he told me he wanted out. I really could have cared less that he had a girlfr...

I had mine out at 25 and I went in at 6 AM to get everything done and was out before noon. I spent several days on the couch watching TV. I will say if you watch TV do not watch anything that will make you laugh, that really hurts. I turned on a Geor...

This wasn't a patient but my idiotic ex-husband: Don't have a vasectomy and take 4 vicodin in 3 hrs, no matter how much pain you are in. If you do, do not get up to go to the bathroom while everyone is asleep. If you must get up to pee do not sit dow...

I had 2 people in the room other than myself and the doc/nurses. My mom and my husband at the time, my son's daddy. I was worried that my mIL would want in to watch since she and SIL and BIL were going to be there when I was induced. I told my husban...

My grandma had Alzheimers and as the disease progressed there was no bringing her back to our reality. She lived with us in the early stages and one day I brought my blanket into her room to watch TV with her. When I was done watching TV I went to l...

I'm glad it will be available OTC, it's about time. I have had to use the Plan B, back when it was 8 birth control pills, take 4 one day and then take 4 more 12 hours later, once in 1997. I was 18, it was the second time I had ever had sex and my boy...

I know the first time was definetly an emergency, especially considering my temp went up after I took the Tylenol, so I knew I was in trouble. My husband was freaking that I was going to have a seizure or something due to my temp. He said later if my...

I don't know why anyone would want to go to an ER unless they had to. Obviously a lot of people do since this thread is full of them. I have had to go to the 3 times in my adult life(infected finger that had to be lanced, working in deli with fake f...

When I was pregnant, I was working overnights and the only appointment that they had for my first appointment(and the first time I ever met the doc) was at the ungodly hour of like 10 AM. So I get up, shower(it was the only way I was going to even be...

Kyriacos(keer ree ahhcus) I will say it fit him since it's a greek name and he(I worked with him) was very obviously greek. I kind of like it, even though not being greek I wouldn't use it for that reason and a couple others because #1- I don't think...

My sister in law lost her baby at 18 weeks. She went in for a routine ultrasound at 18 weeks and they found the baby was dead. This was a shock to the entire family since you figure once the first trimester is over you have nothing to worry about. My...

Rainy Day Floods. My son goes to pre-school with a little boy name SirMichael. Ion(pronounced Ian, it was just an unusual spelling, not an unususal name.) Erin(for a boy) Alexandra and Alexander(twins) Nygal and Nygella(also twins) Timothia(Im sure...
