So, here's the point where you tell us those dirty little secrets, or things you let people know even, that a majority of people will disagree with
Eat your food people. You are pregnant, not made of glass. ~PrimRoseMama
The Benes Boys were born 9/3/13! woooo

Re: UO thursday
Mine: yes, its great to advocate for yourself... but seriously, if the doctor is telling you that its best for baby if you do x, y, or z and you go against it because its "not what you wanted" you're a moron.
Also, I hate house plants. I wish I liked them because they are good for the air, but I can't stand them.
My cat kills all house plants so I couldn't have any even if I wanted to
I kill house plants. I never know what the heck I'm doing with them. They just don't like me.
Why would you even waste the time on a post? And it seems like it would just make OP feel worst for asking advice.
Because a woman has a right to choose what she feels is best for her and best for the baby. In countries where abortion is illegal, some woman will go to extreme lengths to abort and are butchered in the process or their babies end up being killed or abandoned after birth. It certainly isn't a form of birth control, but I support abortion as an option in some circumstances.
I don't understand what you wrote here?!
I LOVE summer...even when it is 100 degrees out....Have you tried it again recently?
I was going to post this! Especially if it is something you "just don't want to do", like drink a glucose drink...There is a new girl at work, who is 20 weeks pregnant. Her and I were talking yesterday, and she starts asking me about if I chose a pediatrician etc...and then tells me she will not be vaccinating her baby "because when they are 1, they have to get 6 vaccines in 1 day, and that is just too much..." I looked at her and said: " well - please then keep your kid away from mine..." and walked away...
With the exception of a few regulars I see why the FB group is a safe haven for a bunch of newbs who are too afraid to post here. Some of the questions and posts are downright moronic. There have been several occasions where I have to say to myself "did she really just say/ask that?!"
Thank goodness that this site is so much less P&R
First of all, we live in America where we can readily get birth control. Second of all, is it better to 'butcher' the mom or the baby? I say it's better to butcher neither the mom or the baby. The House of Representatives was voting on whether or not babies can feel pain at 20 weeks. It stems from murder charges where there was testimony to such cases. I will not write about it here because it is far too sad and disturbing. I just cannot believe a country such as the United States of America would be debating on whether babies feel pain at 20 weeks. Of course they do! People need to stop turning a blind eye. Abortion, especially late term, is the snuffing out of a life...a little soul. If you think our country doesn't promote abortion as a form of birth control you are in denial. The parts of the city where I live that have these clinic also have AIDS awareness signs. Do you see the parallel?

I think there should be a limit on the number of asenine posts per day, per person. There are too many lately where the sole content is 'I ate a brownie!' 'My back hurts!' Etc. Do you have anything of substance to add?
I agree with you. I think there is a political motivation to calling it a disease. With the new Obamacare measures coming out. In other words,
a way for insurance companies not to
deny coverage because someone
makes unhealthy decisions regarding their body. If it's a disease verses a decision perhaps people are more likely to have their care covered....this is just a guess on my part....
Haha, I'm going to have to try again, we just moved into our house in May so I've been outside planting and sweating my fat pregnant arse off all week! Ugh, the heat...
Apparently that is all VCK knows how to do.
Sorry to say VCK, not everyone believes what you believe and I support the right for a woman to choose what to do with her own body. Furthermore, I don't believe that the government, church or anybody else has a right to tell me what's best for me.
I am pro-choice as well. I don't really agree with abortion at 20 weeks because that seems pretty far along, so I feel differently about that, but early 1st tri isn't the same to me. And in all honesty I feel like it would be better for the fetus to be aborted at 10 weeks than for a baby to be born alive and then murdered because the parent didn't want it. Yes, that baby could be given up for adoption and there ARE other options, but how many stories do you hear about a newborn being found dead because it was unwanted. To me that is even worse.
I am simply stating my opinion on the matter, not pushing it on you. Just because my opinion isn't popular doesn't mean it's not allowed. Besides, my UO was meant to address a current
topic in the House of Reps, not so
much abortion in general. Do you honestly think late term abortion is a good thing? A roommate of mine from college made this decision and she regretted it and it wrecked her for a while. I never judged her, I hugged her and cried with her. She went to Planned Parenthood and it wasn't a simple easy procedure. Without offering too much details, she had to go back for a second procedure. She was told she might never be able to conceive again. My point is that the truth should be out there.
This- I am pro-choice, trust me: I grew up in a country that there were no choices, you have no idea.
"Am I a bad almost-mommy if I poke my LO because they poked me first?"
I'm sure she was kidding (at least I HOPE...) but I did an eye-roll at that one.
Sounds like I should join the fb group so I can have another source of entertainment while on sbr.
People aren't allowed to post unpopular opinions in the Unpopular Opinions thread now?
THIS! It seems like some people just post to post. This is along the lines of those who post relatively indiscernible advice that appears to be attempted advice but without some semblance of editing or punctuation, the advice is lost in the mash up of words.
No, it just has to be ones she agrees with. *eyeroll*
While I think abortion is wrong and life begins at conception, I think making it illegal would not be good. First of all, it's not my right to tell others what to do with their bodies nor judge them for doing something different than me. Also, at least now it is regulated and safe for women to have them instead of going into some back alley shady place where illegal abortions are performed. That would happen again if it were made illegal.
What I do dislike about the way it is currently (in Canada) is that abortions are covered by our universal health care. I don't think that's right at all. I don't agree with my tax money paying for other people's abortions, but there's not a whole hell of a lot I can do about that.
I dont think this it that unpopular at all. I think a lot of the time its FTMs that dont have the knowledge or dont want to do the research for themselves that ask these questions. I hate the ones like "eeemehgawddddd I have a horrible spinal condition... should I get an epidural?" or my favorite "I have gained 7lbs and I am 25 weeks. Do you think thats too much?!" Seriously?! I had to stop responding to those due to that fact I couldnt find nice words to say.
Unfortunately, that's not how opinions work.
Whether she did research to make her opinion on this valid or not, it is still her opinion. So until we receive a book on "Approved Opinions" By auroraloo people are going to post/say/feel what ever opinions they want.
Oh man. I couldn't get past the first one without something to say!
I think people who go with anything their Dr says just because they are a Dr are morons. I'm not saying that Drs don't know what they are talking about, but there are always other things in consideration other than your wellbeing. Money is big, their own personal success in something they believe in meaning maybe that it goes against your beliefs and is not medically necessary... The list is really just endless. I think throwing your hands up and saying 'you are right' is irresponsible. You should ALWAYS do your own research, seek second opinions, and advocate for yourself and especially your children! Drs treat the general public and do NOT know everything. The best Drs we have had for DD with her digestive issues were ones who said, 'this is new, lets figure it out together.'
So much this.
Apparently some people are incapable of doing their own research and would just rather rely on the advice of strangers. Then when you call them out on it, they fire back with "I already did my own research I just wanted to hear what other mother's were doing!" Why? Why does what I choose to do with my child in regards to vaccinating or circumcising have any impact on what you should do with your child?
I'm also sick of the drive by posts. We are not your personal google and you haven't even bothered to intro here. I was reading on 3rd tri yesterday that apparently this gets worse as we get closer to our due dates. We will start getting drive by labor questions then birth announcements. Congrats on your baby, but who the hell are you?!
We have always thought other people's opinions are dumb and have said so in the past. I think you may feel like you're being scolded because of the way you act. "I think I am going to GBCS13 because of this" is dramatic. If it was directed at Jdoud then maybe you should have said something to her about it and listed your facteous points for her.
Maybe in the future you would get less heat by saying "I disagree with your opinion for the following reasons..." and start a healthy conversation about it. IMO, in the past you come off like you know it all and your opinion is the only one that can be right. The key word there is opinion.
Have I told you lately that I love you? I try to stay off the 3t board. Its a lot like 2t but with people that will jump down your throat for considering an epidural.
Right back at ya JB!!
I believe that churches should stand on behalf of those who are oppressed and that the Bible clearly calls us to share one another's burdens. However, I have a huge problem with churches that cross the boundary of the separation of church and state, partly because it scares me, and because it has huge repercussions for my future. I have several clergy friends who have been arrested in Moral Monday protests because of civil disobedience, and in some cases even violence. As I said, I have respect for people who stand up for what they believe and try to make a difference, but isn't it better to be proactive, start ministries within the church and actually get to know our neighbors who are homeless, rather than asking our legislature to do it for us? Sure I wish the government would do more, but according to Bread for the World, 70% of help for those who are impoverished comes from the government and only about 10% comes from the church. This means, the church needs to be doing more.
The reason that it bothers me is because people keep pushing and blurring the lines of the separation of church and state which is putting churches and other non-profits at risk of losing our tax-exempt status. If this happens, most churches will die because they won't be able to sustain themselves. This means ministries will be dissolved, outreach programs will be lost, shelters won't exist, and the list goes on and on. Not to mention that I would be out of a job. With a masters degree and student loans that go on forever, I wouldn't be able to take care of my family, and in the state of NC this is becoming more and more of a possibility.
I admit I'm not a political person. I lean to the left, but politics aren't my thing. I just wish the church would do a better job of being the church and make a difference by DOING rather than by just yelling our beliefs at others. So yeah, that's my long and passionate UO for the week.
Mom to Cam and Al, now expecting baby number 3, August 2016. Praying for lots of sticky baby dust!
It's more like a trip down memory lane. NKOTB sang a song off their first album and I still remember getting the cassette and listening to it over and over at my grandparents' house.
And this time round they're touring with 98 Degrees, not Backstreet Boys
Again, I LOVED them in high school, so it just brings back the memories.
I will say, though the ladies who are still in love with those guys creep me out, though lol
