  • Isn't it amazing how things change as we raise our children. FYI your one of the rare ppl that can get away with short and long hair :)

  • @Shannindhall kids...make us grow

  • So I just now saw this video. What made you change your mind about the co-sleeping thing?

  • @BrookeButcher1987 Well life changed, the situation changed, and education & safety.

  • my dad when i was a baby he slept with me in his arms and it was soo funny because he didn't move at all like he would be sleepin in the recliner and i'd be in his arms and he'd be in one direction and wouldn't move at all while he was asleep like he would wake up in the same direction he fell asleep in.... I kind of am against it but u no....

  • well even during pregnancy you spot sometimes...honestly i think you should go to the hospital for this and talk to your OBGYN about it...

  • this video's over a year old

  • @BackwardsHatToucan was there any point to posting your comment? Lol.

  • yeah im not for co-sleeping either i am cool with my child sleeping in a basinet next to me the first three months or so but not to sleep in the bed with me because they will get use to it and then they wont want to sleep in there crib and if you start them at a young age then they will get use to sleeping in there cribs because my aunts baby is almost two and has slept with them his whole life and now there exspecting and its hard to break him now so i agree with you 100%

  • how do you tell if your ovulating?

  • There are SEVERAL different signs for ovulation. Some women have mid-cycle cramps, u have a .4 or higher temp rise, fertile CM-sticky/stretchy, open/high/soft cervix, etc.

  • My sister said that she felt the implantation. On day 25 of her cycle (a bit later than normal) she felt cramping like with her period, and got spotting, so she assumed she was getting her period early. She only spotted for a few hours, and days later, her period still hadn't come. By day 35 she did a test and it was positive.

  • miscarriages are extremely painful.if your nto feeling pain u have no miscarrage i had one n i was in the hospital because it was so much pain,.

  • I had a miscarriage and it was like a bad period. Not Extremely painful..it was painful but not too bad. everyone is different.

  • Yep u are more than right

  • A friend of mine didn't even know she was pregnant until she miscarried, and she said everything passed at once, and it was less painful than a regular menstrual cycle.

    I however, was like you... I was in the hospital on morphine but it took me an ENTIRE MONTH to pass everything. So it can greatly differ person to person.

  • Made alot mistakes in the last msg lol --Whys co-sleeping such a bad thing? i slept in the same bed as my son till he was about a year old i didnt find it sucha bad thing... i wanted to be close with him and develope a strong relationship with him in his first year =]... hes obviously sleeping in his own bed n hes almost 2 now but i think its ok as long as ur not doing it for years or something... that'll prolly stunt them some how emotionally or security idk im no expert..

  • Co-Sleeping is for some, and isn't for others. It's just a personal choice as are most things. Thats all.

  • yeah i dont bash people for not wating i find it kinda soothing... especially when for me i was a young sigle parent i didnt have alot of options ad help so it was easier for me =]

  • This was very informative but I now have 5 kids and have IUD but i do want more later had the last three really close together also it is so weird to finally get an answer because with each pregnancy I had a menstrul period that last 4 to 5 days and following week I would be pregnant

  • I'm 10 weeks pregnant and this is our first child after 3 years of happy marriage, I haven't been there but I TOTALLY agree with you, I don't believe in co-sleeping, I think that yes, it is important to work on being the best mom but that doesn't mean you forget about being a wife and a lover for your husband. I also think that everyone will always have their opinions and I respect that, but it doesn't give them the right to judge othe people's desicions on how to rise their own children.

  • trust me everything is fine okay and your daughter is so adorable can't wait till i have a baby :-)

  • It's not like I'm going to get you to see my point here, but I don't really get why you've pierced your kid's ears. She's an ADORABLE child, but I don't see the reason for making her more feminine than she needs to be at that age... There's no point in encouraging her to be more feminine even this many years before puberty (and I'm not even mentioning the imminent danger of nickel allergy...)

  • We had her skin tested for all metals b4 hand b/c I my self am very allergic to particular metals. She is great in that department luckily. And 2nd of all it's tradition, it's a family ritual and has been for decades. Everyone does it at 2 weeks of age, EXCEPT for me, we waited till she 6 months.

  • I ovulated on CD21 it's weird

  • It's happened to me too, but I don't get really worried.

    Sometimes I spot, and then I don't get my period.

    It's normal, that I know of.

    So I don't think you have to worry ^^

  • Hey Lucy

    Just catching up on all your videos.. but had to comment on the co sleeping thing and I am 100% agreeing with you. I feel VERY VERY strongly about it and it feels good to have someone else feel the same way.

    HUGS

  • Here u have to get referred on to specialists, but first u have to pass their "requirements", and then the waiting lists are forever. It sucks! My initial app is next week, which will be month 8 TTC, heres hoping they dont tell me to come back in 4 months :@

    Oo i wish our doctors were like yours - It would take all the stress of waiting away for sure! Hope it goes well :)

  • Oh wow, Guess I'm lucky at finding Dr's, or we just don't have Dr's like that around here? Not sure which, since I've only spoken to 2 specialist total, and one ob/gyn. Good Luck at ur appointment next week :) Hopefully u won't hear "come back"

  • U cannot get "faint positives" on opks, if they arent DARK/equal to the control then they are negative. All your symp describe diff hormone imbalances, these should settle now you've stopped bfing. Try to relax mama and u will conceive alot quicker. obsessing about everything will make the journey alot longer n harder for you - esp since u are only just starting TTC. Any illness/stress can delay O, once you feel better you should O. Hope u feel better soon so u can catch that eggy ;)

  • Easier said than done "relax" Yes I know about the opks. Normally it will b one line until shortly before ovulation then I will start to get two lines, gradually getting darker, until positive, following a + they are still pretty strong but not a positive for a few days (3-4) then it just stops and goes to one line only. Typically at least that is what will happen. I got a faint positive on a PG test.. I think that might b what ur referring to? No? I'm a worry wart and I obsess about everything.

  • Really? I wouldn't have thought so. We pay cash, and from the three doctors I have spoken with there wasn't a wait or anything. It was what u pay for you get, when u want. So long as it wasn't dangerous to your help. They don't care, they get their money...

  • By "every type of cysts", you mean you've had hair/bone/tooth growths, CL & functional (blood/fluid) cysts?

    Im surprised you are going to an infertility specialist after 1-2 cycles TTC lol! Your DD is only 7mo old, so its normal for your cycles not to be regular yet. After each child your cycle can be on a completely different schedule than before. If u have recently weaned her then your levels will be evening out, so spotting is normal - dont worry! overthinking can just delay u even more.

  • Yes... And it's not just after 1-2 cycles. I have been charting for SEVERAL years, and I don't ovulate every month and when I do it can be CD 10, CD 15, to even CD 30 that I ovulated. I know I have some scar tissue, and a retroverted uterus that can play a small effect. We just got SUPER luck w/ our 7 month old and the first month we TTC I didn't ovulate, but the first month we DID ovulated and were TTC we conceived w/ her. Oh and I have NO patience for getting what I want, lol typical woman?

  • I know im impatient too! It took 4 yrs for the twins. I cut back all the unnecessaries & only do BBT & OPKs from CD10 now and its alot better! We've been TTC again for nearly 7mo, i have endo & PCOS & have only O'd 3 times this year :( A tippd uterus shouldnt cause any probs ttc & often goes "normal" after childbirth. Id bet the RE would tell u to continue TTC naturally for a few months to give ur body a chance to settle. Remember all it takes its one O, im sure it will happen for u soon :)

  • Yes but it hasn't, it's still tipped. We were told that it what is it around the end of the first trimester or close to the pregnancy reverts it forward facing and then it should stay like that even after u give birth, although that isn't the case. Should and Actually happening are two different things, lol. It took us over 7 years to conceive. 2 months shy of it just "letting it happen" which it never did until we charted.

  • Jeez u look far too young to have been trying for 7 years lol!!

    Because u have v.recently had a child, they would be looking at your case as secondary infertility - which more than ever requires a decent length of trying due to expected hormonal unsettle. I guess some drs w/good insurance will do anything though! Our Drs here take forever to do anything - 3 year waiting list for IVF -its ridiculous!!

    RE opk; Prolactin & LH will be messed up after u wean. Should continue to improve tho ;)

  • So I've been told. Last week we went to the Library w/ our daughter and we were looking for books on immunizations, but we're new to the area, so we were looking for the card index to figure out where the books would b located. The lady saw the confused look on our faces when we couldn't find them, and I asked where it was, and she said "Oh my you can't be THAT old, everything is on electronics" but I just buy my books, so I haven't been to a library since HS. And then it was on index cards

  • I have a knot in my neck..I was scared I thought I had cancer or something! So now I feel better!

  • If you are still nursing then you may have problems concieving. In the third world they use breast feeding as a contraceptive, hope this helps!

  • Yes I know, Thank You. I weaned her 2 weeks ago. I'm spotting again as of today even though I got my peak lh surge yesterday. Calling Dr to set up an appointment on Monday

  • are you still breastfeeding? I know that breastfeeding can do all of this...at least from what i hear...if you were experiencing a m/c i know you would test pos on a blood test...also...my body was all normal after i had DS until 2 months ago...EXTREME pain...things change sometimes it takes longer who knows.. in my case i needed to change BCP...im starting the 3rd month in a few days and so far so good..im not experiencing labour like pains anymore... well good luck.. hope you figure it out!

  • I can relate, tht hapen to me a couple of months ago and I had it checked out and my doctor found tht I had a cyst on my left ovary..so maybe it can be related to tht but if r still concerned maybe u should check with your gynecologist. Keep us posted.

  • I've had every cyst of every size possible multiple times. I'd like to think I'm an expert on those things, and my body haha. I am setting up an appointment w/ a infertility Dr. But in the meantime I appreciate hearing comfort from others, other people who can relate, or others who have opinions on what it could be. Thank You! I haven't spotted today, but still nothing new.

  • did you ever take a hpt?

  • Yes read the comment above :)

  • Years ago I had a really bad period. I bled for about 2 weeks or more, it had brown in it. I didn't feel so great, I had the worst pains. I was only 19 though so I didn't go and see the doc because I didn't want to be pregnant anyway. But my Mum said there was a chance I could have been. But really I don't know. It happen to me again a few years later. But if I were you I would go see the doc. If you were preg, maybe there could he signs of it still? Hormone wise? Not sure. Happy 7 months JC.

  • Hey I was just wondering if you knew.....Does being on the pill for 3+ years, make it harder to become pregnant after quiting the pill?...

  • I'm TOTALLY against co-sleeping as well - once you start that, and then try to get the child to sleep alone - it's hell. My friend cosleeps with her daughter and now she doesn't have ANY privacy. Her daughter will scream and scream and scream!! until she is in the bed with her mom.. kinda sucks.. I feel bad for my friend. And that swollen lymph happened to me too when I had a throat infection...

    Take care!!

  • this is not true for every baby. I cosleept with my daughter and transitotioned her to her own bed just fine. Now She is 3 months old and I still cosleep at times, but I never have any problems with her falling asleep and staying asleep in her own bed. You just have to not give in to them. Cosleeping has many benefits.

  • I think in general co-sleeping is just dangerous, as in the same ways you shouldn't have bumpers an toys in your crib, and how carseats are used (9 out of 10 are installed or used incorrectly) All of this is VERY common though.

  • Have you done research on it? It is a natural and healthy thing to do! It has many psychological and physiological benefits. The only time it is dangerous is because parents have too much bedding or too many pillows or such. But if you follow the rules and all it is very beneficial when it goes hand in hand with breastfeeding. idk just opinion I guess.

  • Yes and none of it was good information, lol. There is a different between putting your baby in a bassinet directly next to ur bed, and ur baby sleeping IN YOUR BED with you. Not sure which u are referring to. But as w/ everything it's just a matter of opinion, and each family is different so what works for one might not work for another. So long as you are comfortable w/ your decision and it's working for you then that is all that matters, right? :)

  • yep! :)

  • i come from a long generation of women who co-sleep, & breastfeed. U don't do either and in my opinion THAT is weird. my daughter is 3, she co-slept, & breastfed for all her baby years & she is the most well behaved, intelligent & easy child you could ever wish for.

    What do u think they did in the caveman days? put them in a tent next to the parents? they had to cuddle the child close to protect them from wild animals . So it's natural instinct for baby to want to be close to their mother.

  • Excuse me? Perhaps when you get your accusations right, I'll read the rest of your comment.

  • I spotted for the first 2 months of my pregnancy .. It had me thinking that my period was going to come on but obviously it never did - I didn't know I was pregnant but I sure spotted that brown/pink blood for a while (and was a little crampy) Good luck though!

  • regarding going to the dr. i went to the dr after this same thing happened to me feb 2004- all she told me was "suspected miscarriage" and to "wait one normal cycle" before trying again. what a waste of time. cycle issues happen so i would just wait & see if you feel better in the next couple week & if things go back to normal. if not, maybe then go to the dr. it's up to you, but i felt like i had better things to do then be told "it happens" blah blah blah.

  • just go to a doctor ?

  • your vid was creepy to me-i had a swollen lymph in my jaw that looked like a massive mosquito bite! ALSO (creepy part) Gavin WOULD NOT sleep in his crib 2 nights ago! i also feel that they NEED to sleep in their crib EVERY night & last night was still whiney & a few outburts but he calmed himself quickly. weird tho?! hopefully tonight will be better! how many nights was she "out of the ordinary"? *if you did have early miscarriage (which is sounds) you may not ov for a couple months :(

  • wow beside the bleeding, i have the same symptoms and i dont break out besides right befor my period, have you taken a pregnancy test? you should. good luck i have a week before i can test, but i already tested a couple times and got weared positives therer but light, so wish me luck

  • Shame, you look so down. Hope you get it srted out soon.

  • Lucy, take it easy, make an appointment and I hope he can tell you what is going on!!! Stress and other things can really distort your mentrual period etcetera.

    Forgot to tell you, I didn't get my period, tested negative and 11 days later the red devil showed up!! :( Finn has 3 tooths now, 4th coming up, how bout Jace?? Happy 7 months for Jace!!! xxx Sanne

  • Id say it may have been a miscarriage if you got a faint positive. You should see a doc. Thats not good u got sick, i get the swollen limph nodes alot too. But girl u gotta stop worrying so much, that wont do u any good with ttc. So get this checkd out and then relax! and start fresh, good luck hun :) xox

  • Have you taken a PG test at all? If it were a miscarriage, I would go get a BETA draw from your OB, because if there were a pregnancy there still may be some hormone left to pick up in blood. Just a thought, but many factors can play into spotting, I know it can drive one insane. GoodLuck, and let us know the outcome. Happy 7 months Jace!

  • Yes, I got a faint positive twice. And then a negative, for two days now...The two days I got a negative PG test, I got a barely faint positive on the OV test. Today being the 3rd faint positive OV test. I haven't a clue what is going on. Still spotting today though.

  • it could have something to do with you being sick...i would go to the doctor asap if your lymph nodes are swollen. while it could be a cold or strep it could also be mono. when my best friend had mono she did not ovulate for 2 months. hope you feel better. happy birthday jace!!

  • that is so cool I have the same vanity as you!

    I love it

    I wish it had more drawers though

  • I got that for my 13th birthday... It's 11 years old, lol Soon to be 12 yrs old

  • I got mine when I was 7 so mine is 7 years old almost lol

  • Ok this is weird.... I started spotting on Sat. and Sun. and now I am not anymore????? What the hell?  This has NEVER happened to me before in my life. I feel you girl.... what is up??

  • I agree with whoever said that it could be a miscarriage. Please get checked out and let us know how you are!

    Happy 7m birthday tommorrow Jace!

  • JACE IS SO CUTE!
