    Alright ladies, a couple of you posted on my last post that you werent expecting so here's one for you!

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls?
    One girl who is about to turn 3.  One boy who will be 8 months tomorrow.

    Want anymore?
    I would probably have 4-6 if DH agreed.  But he says we are stopping at 3, so I guess we will be having 1 more.

    Why do you like the Natural Board?
    This is just a great group of girls who are very knowledgeable.  I learned so much from everyone that I still stick around to offer my experiences even though I'm not currently pregnant.

    Favorite Food?
    Peanut Butter!
    Dream Vacation?
    That's a tough one.  Maybe a European Tour!

    I'll play since I am more of a lurker and only post on occasion these days.

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls?  One boy - 10 months

    Want anymore?  We have another boy on the way, due October 27th.  We have always talked about having 3...but we will decide for sure after #2 is born.

    Why do you like the Natural Board?  Ladies here offer really great advice.  I feel like most are very friendly.  I feel like the conversations on this board are much more relevant and the people are more mature than any other board on the bump.

    Favorite Food?  A nice, juicy steak with sauteed mushrooms and onions.  And a glass of red wine.

    Dream Vacation?  Hawaii (I have never been and I have dreams about learning to surf)

    Thanks for doing this!

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls?
     1 girl

    Want anymore?
    Yes!  We are hoping for 1 or two more soon.

    Why do you like the Natural Board?
    I love all the knowledgeable, supportive women here.  It is a great place to ask questions and talk about natural birth. 

    Favorite Food?
    right now ice cream!  I cannot get enough of it and since I am still BF I don't have to worry about the calories.

    Dream Vacation?
    Alaska.  I have always wanted to go to alaska.  I am hoping that we can do a trip sometime in the next 5 years!

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls?  One little boy

    Want anymore? 
    Yes!  Right after the final push that got DS out I looked down at him then up at DH and said "Yeah, I could do this again!"

    Why do you like the Natural Board?
    It helped me a lot when planning my natural birth and I wanted to help out others who are looking for the same experience.

    Favorite Food?
    After not eating them for months I loooove hot dogs!

    Dream Vacation? 
    Negril, Jamaica.  I've been there a couple of times and love it.  Honestly would rather just go there again than anywhere else!

    Alright ladies, a couple of you posted on my last post that you werent expecting so here's one for you!

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls? 2 boys.

    Want anymore? Yes, but we're done.

    Why do you like the Natural Board? While I'm not a NB evangelist by any means, I love that this board gives women confidence that they CAN birth naturally and that that you're not a freaky anomaly for going natural.

    Favorite Food? Ice cream.

    Dream Vacation? I have too many to list.

  • Options
    How many kids do you have/boys or girls? 1 girl, 1 boy, and a boy on the way

    Want anymore? Almost positive this will be our last

    Why do you like the Natural Board?  I love the info I get from this board and how I'm often inspired to do more research on a lot of topics.  I'm trying for a natural VBAC this time (first was a medicated vaginal birth and 2nd was natural til it ended in C-section) and I get a lot of great information here!!

    Favorite Food? flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sauce...or pretty much anything chocolate :)

    Dream Vacation? Fiji

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls? Expecting our first 12/3.

    Want anymore? Yes - we'll probably stop at 2, but nothing is set in stone.

    Why do you like the Natural Board? I never thought I'd be into the idea of a natural birth, but after I found out I was pregnant it just kept entering my mind. I started to research the idea a little, then finally admitted to myself this is what I wanted to do. This board has been super helpful for me so far, especially b/c I started out with very limited knowledge. All of the ladies are great about answering questions honestly.

    Favorite Food? Hmm....Italian

    Dream Vacation? I went on my dream vacation to Venice a few years ago. Also on my bucket list: Hawaii, Moscow and St. Petersburg, Fiji...

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls? 2 girls

    Want anymore? YES!! Would love 2 or 3. Agewise I doubt more than 2 is really an option. DH wise, I think only 1 more is in our future.

    Why do you like the Natural Board? I think everyone here is really friendly and supportive of all Mum's regardless of the circumstances surrounding their birth. I'm not pregnant, but lurk here because I really wish I was!!

    Favorite Food? We have a chocolate bar here called a peanut slab. It's basically a slab of milk chocolate crammed with peanuts.

    Dream Vacation? To go through Spain and then across the strait to Morocco, and across the top of Africa to Turkey and Jordan.

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls? 2 girls, ages 3 and almost 9 months

    Want anymore? we would like one more, DH really wants his boy

    Why do you like the Natural Board? I love talking about NB and really want to become a Bradley Instructor someday.

Too often moms only hear negative things about birth and not about how it can be a empowering life changing moment.

    Favorite Food? Sushi

    Dream Vacation? Fiji or Italy

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls? 2, DS (2.5 years), and DD (7 months)

    Want anymore? Yes, 1 more. Any more than that and finances would get too tight, I think.

    Why do you like the Natural Board? It's the one place I don't feel crazy for not wanting an epidural, and no one here has (at least openly) judged my decision to have a vaginal breech birth with DD instead of choosing a c/s.

    Favorite Food? Pizza. But don't make me choose what to put on it.

    Dream Vacation? Ireland or South Africa. Or a repeat of our Alaskan vacation 3 years ago.

    I have two kids, a boy (2) and a girl, (5 months) both home births.

    We want at least one more.

    The board was very helpful for my first pregnancy, especially since I was deciding between hospital and home birth. Plus, I love talking with like minded mama's who think natural birth is normal.

    My favorite good is pretty much anything with peanut butter.

    I would love to get to Paris, France.

    1 boy

    Want anymore?
    TTC #2. Undecided on #3.

    Why do you like the Natural Board?
    I'm a bit "crunchy". :) I didn't care so much about the "experience of childbirth" as I did about eliminating unnecessary drugs/interventions.

    Favorite Food? 
    Ethiopian cuisine

    Dream Vacation?
    I would love to visit Croatia, where my dad's side of the family is originally from (came to the USA in the 1910s).

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls?
    I have one daughter, and she's 8 months old
    Want anymore?
    if money wasn't an issue, I'd have buckets of babies! However, it is, so we'll have one more, though I'd really like two more
    Why do you like the Natural Board?
    I think this is one of the few places women can receive encouragement and positive affirmations from other women. This board is empowering and supportive, while being educational and mindful that birth is a beautiful, powerful, life-changing, natural experience that doesn't have to be dramatic or scary.
    Favorite Food?
    Cheetos.
    Dream Vacation?
    Anywhere I can bury my toes in the sand and have someone come bring me frilly drinks while I thoroughly forget about real life!

    Hi ladies!  I'm definitely a lurker since we haven't even started TTC yet, but I couldn't resist playing along!  Such a fun post!

     

    How many kids do you have/boys or girls?  SD9, and 1 fur-baby (lab 10)

    Want anymore? Planning on one.

    Why do you like the Natural Board?  I always saw myself as "give me the drugs now" type gal, but this board is just inspiring and friendly and is comforting for whenever my time comes.  Everyone seems open and encouraging no matter what their personal preference is.

    Favorite Food?  Too many to list?  LOL.  If I absolutely had to choose right now, I think it would be Chicken Parmesan

    Dream Vacation?  Definitely Italy!

    Want anymore? Hope so, #2 is due Feb13th! But yes, I originally thought I wanted two kids, but now I'm not so sure that this will be my last one. I'm thinking we will have three.

    Why do you like the Natural Board? I love reading everyone's birthing stories. Everyone here has great advice and information. Also, it helps me stay strong in my resolve to have a natural birth, since no one IRL is very supportive of my wishes.
