    My pregnant friend

    Could you please pray for my best friend? She's 5 days past due with her first baby, and the dr wants to induce or do a c-section if she hasn't gone into labour by Thursday (1 week overdue). Please pray that she'll go into labour naturally? Thank you!

    Spinoff: play pens

    I've scanned through the playpen thread, as I had a question about that, but it seems we're using different terminology. Most people seem to refer to a camp cot or pack & play as a playpen - we have one, use it as a portable bed. But today I've been thinking about buying her a proper playpen, a...

    Teeth coming in wrong order?

    Well Jana got her first 2 teeth about a month ago (2 days apart), the bottom ones. I've been checking her upper jaw for the next two for a few days now, and then last night as she yawned in my arms I noticed 2 extra teeth in the bottom - so she now has 4 bottom teeth and no upper teeth! Is this...

    Want opinions on baby shower

    My best friend just found out she's pregnant (woohoo!) and I'm incredibly excited! But I want opinions on something: She's due in Feb, so obviously her baby shower will be somewhere in Nov-Jan. Now I'm already thinking about that, all excited. But I'm worried that her mom or her MIL will want...

    OK, here's the deal: I've decided what I'm cooking for dinner tonight. It will be 1 protein, 1 starch and 2 veggies. For each one that you guess correctly, you get 25 blessings - i.e. the first person to correctly guess each component of my dinner gets 25 blessings. Have fun!

    My supply is finally catching up to her demands!!!

    I am sooooooo happy, just had to share. I've had supply issues for months now, have been supplementing with formula ever since she was 8 weeks old. Have tried every trick in the book, from pumping after feeds, taking fenugreek, mothers milk tea, fennel, extra calcium, eating oatmeal, etc...

    I can have a water birth!

    So I had my first prenatal class last night (pretty late, I know, she's due in under 7 weeks!) but got some great information. Biggest surprise was that the hospital I'm giving birth in has a spa birthing bath (with jets set to massage your back, yummy) and I can use it if I choose! I did some...

    Prayer request

    My cousin's wife's sister just lost her twin babies... please pray! She was about 30 weeks pregnant when they picked up that the one baby's heart had stopped, they did an emergency c-section but the second baby only lived for 5 days. The funeral was this morning, they're absolutely devastated...

    Natural birth - what do I need to know?

    So as some of you know, I have always believed this baby will be a c-section, because my husband has a congenital heart condition and he wouldn't have survived a normal birth. Ever since we started dating I was under the impression that if I ever have his kids, they will be born by c-section...

    Itching?

    I'm almost 16 weeks now and the last few days my belly has been itching like crazy! Is this normal? The skin isn't dry (i'm using all kinds of oils and lotions to prevent/reduce stretch marks, they're not working!) so I was just wondering if any of you had this?

    Generalisations

    In the last few weeks I've noticed a lot of general, sweeping statements on here, for example: "ALL men think about sex all the time" "Men should never be allowed in the kitchen" "Sex in marriage usually consist of a wife creating a long list of excuses" "Women do not focus enough on...

    My cat is missing

    I know this may sound trivial, but my cat went missing last night. She's never been away from home except to visit the vet, and when she plays outside she always comes back inside very quickly - but last night she disappeared. She's still small and I'm really worried about her - please pray...

    Prayers please!

    Edited: nevermind. I needed some compassion but won't find it here.

    Praying the rosary?

    If you'd forgive a question from a very ignorant protestant Christian... what does praying the rosary mean? I know a rosary is a string of beads, and used in prayer, but I know nothing other than that! Is it a specific prayer that you say, or how does it work?
