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.
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)
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! ETA for spelling
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!
B born 7/15/13, C born 3/2/15, #3 on the way May '17
I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
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.
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
Emmerson 3/23/10
Asher 2/7/12
Baby boy due 10/17/13
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...
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? 1 boy, type-yellow lab, 1 girl, type-lab something rescue from shelter, 1 more girl-type, Kitty. lol
Want anymore? expecting one boy in October, our first, first grandchild on both sides too. would like one more after that.
Why do you like the Natural Board? Nice people on here! Great advice, so encouraging to read. (and yes, seems a little more mature than the other boards occasionally. lol)
Favorite Food? Ooh, I love the steak Gorgonzolathat my husband makes for me sometimes, when the steak can be cooked medium rare that is.
Dream Vacation? I'd like to go to Europe again? Or I'd love to see Iceland. Or just somewhere out in the Mountains hiking perhaps...
How many kids do you have/boys or girls? I have four , a 5 year old girl , 3 year old girl , 19 month old boy and six week old girl.
Want anymore? Nope we are done !
Why do you like the Natural Board? I love how supportive everyone is and how genuinely nice . Many times its hard to find those supportive of natural birth I love how encouraging this board is . I have has four nutrual birth and like to think by sharing my stories I can help to encourage other moms .
Favorite Food? I love Thai food ( curry )
Dream Vacation? I think with the family it would be Disney since I have never been yet have been promised that tripmy whole life . I'd also love to go with my family on a road trip to Yellowstone I love camping . With my hubby I'd love to take a train trip acrossed the country . I'm not big into heat so someplace hot is not my idea of fun . If also love to see Scotland one day .
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. This board was so helpful when I was pregnant with my girls and I enjoy sharing that knowledge with other moms. 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
Ivy: July 2010 | Stella: Dec 2012 | BFP#3: MMC at 11Wk's, July 2017 | Wyatt: April 2019 | BFP#5: Twin Girls due Sept 2020
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.
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? 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
I'm a little late to the party, but I'll answer too!
How many kids do you have/boys or girls? One boy, 3yrs
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.
Favorite Food? oh this is difficult. I love all fruit, and ice cream!
Dream Vacation? Bora Bora, beautiful scenery with activities like snorkeling and hiking
How many kids do you have/boys or girls? One boy, 3yrs
Want anymore? Yes, just 1 more. We are going to TTC in the Spring.
Why do you like the Natural Board? I really want a natural VBAC next time. Reading the stories and posts here have really taught me a lot. I'm sure I will learn even more when I'm pregnant and can really participate.
Favorite Food? Def ice cream!!!!
Dream Vacation? Hawaii for sure!! Hopefully one day before I die!
PPD/PPA Mom...it has been super hard, but I'm making it! Slow steps... Mom to Carter (6), and Calianne (1). Proud VBAC, natural birth, breastfeeding, cloth diapering momma!
