Is it really that high? Anecdotally, almost every mom I know that ended up with a c-section with baby #1 had them with each subsequent birth. And my sister-in-law had to switch to a different OB just to attempt a VBAC, which went smoothly but nobody would let her attempt it with baby #3.

Haven’t seen him since Franklin and Bash with Zach Morris. IMDB says he’s still working and stuff. 

Maybe the women, but not Paul Rudd (ageless) or Donald Faison (also ageless). Even Jeremy Sisto is still pretty fine and working hard.

Southwest airlines always seems to have laid-back apparel but I don't know about makeup requirements. They also used to sing and tell jokes, but once only been on very short flights lately.

In LA, most meters are free on Sundays but check the signs first. Loading zones can usually be parked in at night. If you park in a street sweeping area, you may still get a ticket even after the street had been cleaned so don’t follow the sweeper.

FYI, I needed a prescription to get a flu shot when I was pregnant, the pharmacy wouldn't do it otherwise and I didn't want to pay for an office visit at my PCP. But I got my TDAP without a prescription. You should get both with every pregnancy and so should your partner or other caregiver that will be with the baby a…

I’m not going to Google it right now, but if I recall correctly, the water itself was potable. The problem was with the lines from the main to the houses. When they switched the water source, it needed to be treated to prevent those lines from leaching lead into the water but they didn't do that treatment. Now those…

I’m 5'1". Walking briskly is usually at least 15 min/mile. (4 mph). But I also run medium length distances (5k mostly, sometimes up to 5 miles) and I’m not jogging at more than 11 minute miles unless I’m pushing the double stroller.

Kids understand that not everyone likes everything. Is it so wrong that my 2 year old says “I think I want to give you a hug” before he does it. Or he gives hugs and kisses when I ask for them? And I do the same. Is it so hard to say "can I have a hug?" or "Who wants a hug?"

Nope, not creepy if you do it right. My stepdad was a tickler and I still hate hate hate it because it made me horribly uncomfortable. I ask my own children if they want a tickle. If they say no, I won’t. But my 4 year old loves it. She onlyhas positive connotations.

When you take the online test, no need to phrase as a question. Fill in the blank and just wait for the timer to count down, teacher than hitting enter. It’ll help you calm down and not rush. You probably only need 35 of 50 to move forward. Make sure you read the category each time, maybe the answer starts with a…

mine did, I had a lot of postpartum body issues and was just too touched out especially while breastfeeding to have anyone else come near them. Loved nipple play both before and after, but definitely not while breastfeeding. But that’s just one person’s experience. Nobody ever tasted my breastmilk except my babies.

Both are excellent.

The chocolates and macadamia nuts that are also packaged in Southern California? You can buy them at Walgreens now. Reminds me of bringing Ghiradelli back to Ohio which you can now buy at every Target. But, I also bought a ton of pecan pralines and divinity at a Stuckey’s in Florida during my last work trip because…

I had ALL the 8-minute DVDs (abs, arms, buns, legs, stretch, and one more I’m forgetting). I found them on youtube a few years ago, much easier than turning on the PS3. I also like to do a Walk Away the Pounds some mornings, used to check them out of the library.

Yep, I wouldn’t call us “co-sleepers” but my first went through a six month period of only sleeping from midnight to 6AM if I was laying next to her. I could nurse her to sleep and put her down in the crib at 7 to 8 but she’d wake up again and I just couldn’t get her back down without laying with her. Luckily, we’d…

Is there a proper way to drain grease from ground beef? My mom always moved all the beef to one side of the pan and then used paper towels to sop up the grease that accumulated on the other side and now that’s what I do too. 

Unfortunately, both the pill and an IUD help many women with their severe periods. I’m sorry that they didn’t work for your wife, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that those doctors were wrong or not listening to her unless they refused to admit that those options weren’t working for her.

Don’t worry, there’s a good chance they’ll go back to normal. I was a solid 34B that bought a fancy 34F nursing bra during the first few weeks of nursing baby #1. With baby #2, nothing I owned was big enough during the first few weeks. It wasn’t long after he weaned and I stopped pumping that all the weight fell off,…

This is part of the reason I rarely refer to my children by their name (I only use a first initial) when discussing them online. We don’t talk about them on Facebook or share photos of their faces. My instagram account is primarily to share photos with family and friends across the country and I am very careful to…
