I am almost 7 months pregnant and I have developed a PPD depression plan (because I am at high risk) with my obstetrics team. It would be worth bringing up to your midwife or ob/gyn if you honestly feel you might be at risk. I know if your mother had PPD or their is bipolar in your immediate family or you have had…

There is a 4-6 week postpartum appointment where they screen for PPD at my hospital and it is standard practice at all military treatment facilities. They also have a 28 week perinatal depression screening as well. I think it is standard.

I wasn't disagreeing with the article. I was talking about the commenters on Jezebel whenever there is any sort of housewife article on here.

I find it disheartening on a site where commenters claim to be feminists that whenever there is a housewife or SAHM article, a lot of commenters make some pretty nasty comments about women who stay at home with their kids. Like it is fine for the Dad to stay home but it is feeding into the patriarchy if the Mom stays…

Why the attitude towards a group of women who have made a different choice than yourself?

Me not working with the baby we are expecting this spring lets my husband file as head of household. With two incomes and paying for childcare and a second car, we as well would be worse off if I worked. Also, my husband is active duty military and his schedule is a nightmare. Staying at home gives a lot of peace of…

I don't think that is true at all.. advertisers have found that "becoming cool" with same-sex couples is a good publicity and advertising move. It has nothing to do with being accepting and everything to do with money.

Myanmar is what the dictator government calls it, but natives of Burma call themselves Burmese and their country Burma.

I am actually surprised they got a guilty verdict. Obviously, they deserved it and am glad the victim is getting justice. But with all the media coverage and Anonymous postings, I thought it might influence the trial.

Social Security and Medicare are bankrupting the government more than military spending. I am not advocating cutting SS or Medicare but we spend billions on those programs and they are not sustainable and badly need reformation.

Eh. I worked with a woman who was a single mother and had a masters degree and part of a law degree and had her daughter enrolled in a head start program. I don't think most families could do homeschooling due to finances but I wouldn't make the assumption that they are less educated.

My opinion: keep politics out of schools and youth organizations and let everyone participate.

I disagree that a youth organization needs to make political considerations. They aren't AARP or NOW or whatever. They are about young boys and young men camping and such. Obviously, discrimination is wrong and awful and anyone who earns the Eagle badges should be able to become an Eagle Scout regardless of his sexual…

The thing is that very few Boy Scouts become Eagle Scouts, under 10%. I just think that emphasis on sexuality for a group that is about camping is ridiculous. They should be able to have an anti-discrimination policy and anyone should be able to join regardless of sexual orientation, disabilities or race.

I am not discounting your experience but MOST young boys do not self-identify as gay or straight.

I really don't understand either sides obsession with boy scouts and homosexuality. Most boy members are not going to self-identify between 6-12 years of age, which is the demographic for most boy scouts. The boy scouts need a legitimate anti-discrimination policy and leave it at that. I am super uncomfortable with…

I haven't seen one at a thrift store and I go often. I see ones on craigslist and they are around 100.. for that price I might as well get a new one for 50 more. Do you think a patio furniture rocker would do the same?

Are rockers really necessary when breastfeeding? The cost is making me think it is ridiculous and my husband and I are debating whether it is an expense we can afford.

Do you have anxiety issues? It amps you up physically and gives you a physical lift but if you have anxiety issues with depression, it isn't a good match. It amps your anxiety up as well.

I am not a child psychologist but I do know that children develop at different rates and I respect a parent's right to know where their own child is at developmentally and if they could understand it. We are talking about really young children here (4-6) and since the school system is public, they are limited in what…
