here's a tricky development... my local catholic primary school has voted to NOT allow kids born after june 30 2002 to start kindy next year (which would be their normal year to start) My daught...

oooh, good luck girls. Just reading your posts reminds me of my post-delivery pain. Try to keep in mind that it will pass (3 weeks in my case, and then I could walk "normally"). I'm glad to hear t...

hear hear! I would even consider changing my children's names if I divorced. I guess it's from personal experience - my parents divorced when I was 3 and mum kept his name. I finally was able to...

Lead by example: * drink water (and don't add stuff to "make it taste better"!!) * eat your vegies * don't yell, swear and throw your own adult tantrums (yes, it's difficult some times, lol) * wash...

I like the tradition of it, though it can be pretty hard on the kids growing up. My mum has a horrible middle name (MORRIS) that is an old family name and all offspring were sadled with it (regard...

lol, harder to get a boy cos you have to get the timing just right and only have sex on the day of ovulation. Which is good in theory... and I could have followed the rules, but hubby had trouble....

that's a shame about your ob/gyn. Mine (a female) just said, "oh, I've heard that can work well" but I guess being part of the medical system means they don't really advertise for the alternative m...

Well done Michelle! Getting the whole thing over with in 1 week is awesome! We are doing well here, Miss 2 gets 90% of wees in the toilet, otherwise there's a bit in the knickers and then some ON ...

how do you pronounce "Jai" ??

Girl, YOU are making that baby, not him!!! I think it's a ludicrous practice of putting men's names on babies and it's pretty transparent why - men don't feel 'ownership' without their name on the ...

I've made no secret that I don't much like these new, made-up names. It doesn't effect me at all so I don't care, I just feel sorry for the kids... But I do love old names that have fallen out of ...

I had all of mine in my feet, elbow, ears and head!! After the birth when I was complaining of a weird pain she put a few in my tummy area, (supposedly to help draw up and contract the uterus.)

accupuncture costs me $45 a session, of which I get about $23 rebated, so it's not all that bad - I actually enjoy getting an hour of peace!! It's quite relaxing and doesn't hurt (apart from a tin...

Why worry? No one is ever going to laugh at the name, in front of you anyway. People will ALWAYS say, "oh, that's a nice name". I've met people with atrocious names for their kids and I've just s...

Hi Michelle, yes, I do think accupuncture helped reduce the veins. They can do all sorts of things for blood flow/circulation, plus I am on chinese herbs for post partum recovery. He also gives m...

I had no expectations, like you, the health of bub was important, rather than satisfying other people's desire for me to go "natural". Yes it hurt, but I had an epidural 5 hours in and it was wond...

accupuncture was fabulous! There is a series of spots for varicose veins/hemms, and I noticed immediate improvement, and within 3 weeks it had all returned to almost normal! (the hardest part was...

We are doing well here, still some poo accidents... but getting there! I started overnight training Jan 1. We are still having nightly accidents, not sure how long this will take but I am determi...

Good luck either way! I think you are right about everyone's body being different. I have never gone into labour spontaneously (2 babies born at 41 weeks), I wonder if my body needs the push into...

Amen to that!! Miss 2 is pretty much perfect, not so good with her poos though. I am going to do the night time training very soon, just waiting on Spotlight to get more stock of their single bed ...
