Did you have an epidural during labor?

astone83 @astone83 (129) • United States 30 Oct 06

I chose to have an epidural during labor. It made childbirth a piece of cake. I couldn't feel a thing. Was anyone out there brave enough to go without an epidural? How bad was it?

Does anyone watch 7th Heaven?

astone83 @astone83 (129) • United States 30 Oct 06

I am a big 7th Heaven fan and was so excited when I found out they were going to do an 11th season, but have been kind of disappointed with it so far. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

Parents-Did you bank your baby's cord blood?

zuri25 @zuri25 (2125) • United States 5 Nov 06

Cord blood banking is a popular trend in parenting these days. Did you participate?

astone83 I am also in Indiana. I didn't realize that it wasn't available here, but I wouldn't have done it anyway because of the cost.

astone83 The contractions that I felt before the epidural didn't feel too bad to me. I think they started me out with a small amount of pitocin and then gradually increased it.

astone83 I got one at 5 cm because they were getting ready to break my water and I was afraid that might hurt. I'm glad I did because after that I went from 5 cm to 9 cm in about an hour. I was already 3 cm before I was induced and I did not think the contractions to...

astone83 Yes, both were talked about. We learned some breathing and relaxation techniques, but I didn't use them during child birth because I didn't feel the need to.

How long after giving birth did it take for Aunt Flow to return?

astone83 @astone83 (129) • United States 5 Nov 06

My daughter is almost 9 months old and my period hasn't returned yet. I'm just curious if it took other women awhile too.

astone83 Yes I am. I realize that makes it take longer to return.

astone83 Thanks for your response. I am aware that I can get pregnant even though my period hasn't returned. I'm on the pill, but I am terrible at remembering to take it. LOL

How much did you spend on your wedding?

lhsgrad2000 @lhsgrad2000 (266) • United States 2 Nov 06

I am not engaged yet but planning to be soon. I have watched all these shows showing weddings up in the $25,000 - $50,000 range. I don't have this kind of money nor do I want to spend this much. I was just wondering how much you...

astone83 That's so cruel of the company! They should let their employees go home, especially if that is what they are telling their customers.

astone83 I agree. It is fun to give and recieve gifts, but it sometimes takes our focus away from the reason for the celebration.

Did you get stretch marks when you were pregnant??

newmama412 @newmama412 (590) • United States 30 Oct 06

If so, do they bother you? If not, did you use anything to prevent them? Guys, did your woman get them? And what do you think?

What brand of diapers do you buy for your kids?

astone83 @astone83 (129) • United States 29 Oct 06

I use Target brand diapers. They are cheap and work just as well as the name brands. I am just curious what other people use.

astone83 I've never tried cloth diapers. I like the convenience of disposable. I know cloth diapers are probably cheaper, but the Target brand diapers I use only end up costing about $1 per day. That's not too unreasonable. Plus, I have saved so much money by...

astone83 I tried Huggies when my daughter was first born, but they leaked all the time. Maybe it was because she was so small and they didn't fit her tight enough or maybe it was because she is a girl. I have heard before that Huggies are better for boys and Pampers...
