Natural Childbirth vs. Give me Drugs!!

c2adams2 @c2adams2 (351) • United States 23 Mar 07

How did you do your childbirth? Did you earn your "mommy badge" (A child with no pain medication)? With my son I wanted my mommy badge. They ended up giving me morphine because my labor stalled due to stress. BTW: Morphine, not...

yellerdawgs When I was pregnant, we had planned an unmedicated, out of hospital birth. Then we found out we were having twins so the midwife would no longer attend the delivery out of the hospital. So, I had to see an OB. We had still planned unmedicated. I went into...

Wondering if I did and said the Right thing

KrauseHome @KrauseHome (36447) • United States 5 Jan 07

I am strong when it comes to my personal feelings on Abortion, and feeling a person should only consider Abortion as an thought if their life is in Danger, as I believe abortion is murder if in any other form. I hate the thought...

yellerdawgs You say you are a Christian and, since you are, I think you did the right thing. As a Christian, it is not your job to judge. That is left to God. Her decision is between her and God and nothing you can say or do would change it. I think you were doing a...

Justme2007 @Justme2007 (1848) • United States 5 Jan 07

yellerdawgs At first when I read about what the parents had done, I was horrified. But then I read their reasoning and I can't really argue with it. If the "child" had any self awareness I might have more of a problem with it. But, from what I read, she has very minimal...

If you knew your child would be born gay, would you have an abortion?

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 27 Dec 06

We were talking about this at work today. Some people are very against homosexuality and didn't want gay children. A couple people actually said they'd have an abortion rather than have the gay child. However, if their child...

yellerdawgs If I was pregnant and knew my child would be gay, there's no way I'd have an abortion. I just can't even fathom someone saying they would. I know there are people who think that way but, wow, it just amazes me. If my kids are happy, I don't care if it's in a...

Why are lesbians so crazy?

Melizzy @Melizzy (1381) • United States 27 Dec 06

All of my ex-girlfriends have turned out to be crazy. Emotionally distant, selfish, bad lovers and just down right miserable people. Aren't there any happy, joyous lesbians? Lesbians who want children and lesbians who are not...

yellerdawgs In my experience, it's not true in most cases. I only know one family that require the kids to pay rent when they turn 18. Most of the people I know think that is rediculous. I know very few people who moved out and were self sufficient when they were 18....

yellerdawgs I don't think it is ever ok to hit a child. Hitting teaches a child that whoever is bigger and stronger is the boss. I've seen parents hit children because they hit another child. How is that supposed to teach the child that hitting is wrong. Hitting is a...

yellerdawgs Sadly, this isn't that uncommon. Doctors make it sound like an epidural is a fairly risk free procedure when it's really not. A lot can go wrong. The most frequent complication being a slowed labor, often resulting in a c-section. But, as you know, more...
