surprise third kid is when we decided we had to move out of NYC. Went 1000 miles away and never looked back. Cost of living arbitrage was totally worth it. Don't miss ANYTHING about having kids in NY. Maybe will move back when #3 starts college! [ Reply | More ]

not that you asked, but i'm really bummed out for the opposite reason. i ttc'ed for months, finally got pregnant. then realized that our finances would be totally screwed by needing more childcare. so i worried and agonized and planned. then i miscarried and now i'm pretty much crushed.

what reaction did you have? I was induced for a 2nd time w/ #2 and it went really smoothly. went in around 6:30 am, started pitocin maybe an hour later. fully dilated by noon. pushed 3 times and baby came out. #1 was harder, pushed for 3 hours, had major bleeding afterwards. [ Reply | More ]

I was given cytotec. Had uterine hyperstimulation, hemmorage, difficulty w/retained placenta-- during I just knew it was horrible-- didn't realize until later that db and I were in danger. I won't get that same drug again, but even doc says they don't know if it was specific to that, or just my body's sensitivity to these kinds of drugs. I'm terrified of it. [ Reply | More ]

I can see why you are scared. what is their plan for the induction in terms of what drugs? are they going to try giving you lower dosages (not a medical person so dont know if that's even effective). Good luck! [ Reply | More ]

thanks. she said maybe a low-dose pitocin. I'll only need it if my water breaks first , b/c I'm positive for group b strep. But my water broke first last time...

[ - ] sorry for the repost - didn't get any replies - dh with first "diagnose me" post. pain all around rib cage, sensation of being squeezed. radiates into lower jaw (seems to skip my chest and neck). first started about 7 years ago. was very sporadic, tests showed nothing. then it went away altogether for several years, now it's back as of a few months ago. flares up about once a month, painful enough to wake me up. no other symptoms and in very good shape otherwise. any ideas? flame if you must. 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

get a new cardiologist-- a good one, and get checked out. Stay on top of things. Women's heart issues are not well understood, and a lot of things are missed. You have to trust your gut and keep going back if you think something is wrong. [ Reply | More ]

I have one dd and she plays everywhere but the toys get stored in her room. I rotate the toys/limit how many we have and go out A LOT. Before bed we clean up. I would let them play all over but maybe make the rule about how many toys can be in the living room all at once or a two-time per day clean up. My dd cleans as it is a way to procrastinate going to sleep. [ Reply | More ]

No, she may have asked dh (this was 10 years ago), but he doesnt care abt that stuff and I was excited to register and pick out my own stuff.
