  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    What do you do when your son/daughter falls?

    I usually say "Uh Oh! Up you get!" and they usually get up. They'll let me know if they really are hurt.

    Hindsight is Always 20:20 Vision..

    The biggest one - DO NOT GIVE BIRTH ON YOUR BACK! You are closing the birth canal when you do this making it harder to push your baby out. Birthing in an upright position opens the birth canal making it easier and less work for you to push baby out. This also reduces the chance of c-section and...

    I knew this was coming, but ALREADY?!?

    It's not that uncommon. You shouldn't have problems with engorgement because no matter when you start leaking colostrum you won't get your "real" milk until after baby is born. It is hormones from giving birth that trigger your breasts to go from colostrum to breast milk. And believe me, you'll...

    Pregnant Ladies... let's chat!

    17 weeks is definitely on the early side for feeling baby. I've felt some as soon as 18 weeks and others it was closer to 21/22 weeks. I definitely wouldn't worry over not feeling movement yet!
