Men may be able to fit a bra... but honestly a man in the fitting room was the last thing I expected when I went in to the lingerie store.

The call it Spring Break here in NJ...because it is in Spring.

Totally agree... I'm still mystified as to why a large african american male was assisting me in VS to find a bra. His size, gender and ethnicity completely confused my little but big boobed, grown woman, half asian self. It is no surprise that I did not purchase anything.

I often wonder if it is routine for ultrasound technicians and the OBS they work for to review their estimates after delivery, and methodology based on actual birthweights. I developed GD with twins. I am not a very big person- 5ft 4" , and neither is my husband. My first was 6lb 3oz and healthy. In both pregnancies…

You may be kidding but it seems that this may as well be the way they do it because the other way sure as heck ain't working!

Because it's not hot in India ever. Iced tea is to hot black tea as an iced frappachino mocha latte is to an expresso. A drop of milk in tea is no nastier than marshmallows on sweet potato.

It saddens me that there is still seems to be no routine assessment for PPD before and after birth. In hindsight I was a textbook case just waiting to happen. As in "flashing neon light with a disco ball" over my head (first time older "career" mother in foreign country with no family support, no previous experience…

I think it is beautiful.

I have never spun my cats.... hmmmmm odd.

Our kids do this at school- our local therapy dog is a huge drooly great dane. He's so big my girls can both read to him at the same time.

I have a 6 year old that likes to talk and read. She's mostly reading aloud rather than "in her head". When we adopted a new kitten late last year and it was still in it's "safe room" for the first week- she read to that cat for hours everyday. We all thought it was a win win for everyone. The cat was happy with the…

I apologise for mistakingly replying to you cirbkh as if you were the original poster kangarubensteiner. Cirbkh, YOU seem to have a lot of issues. What planet are you from where you can read into my comment that I think having a baby or choosing adoption is a light decision? Are you aware that the way you are…

I agree so much about #3, in all of this I have been thinking- if you are worried go and have your eggs frozen.

Nobody is ignoring adoption my friend, you are just unaware that adoption is not open to everyone as an option.

Chill! I did not diss your choice about adoption at ALL. I was sympathising with you over the fear of the trauma of childbirth. I've had 3 kids, 2 of them at once, you don't think I don't know what a pregnancy can do to your body or your emotions? I was sharing my experience because the painful difficult births get…

I'm sorry you feel this way- you must feel very vulnerable. The other people who have replied to you are right though, life isn't perfect. You live in fear of your parents dying or that you will have to support them- most of us do. Don't ignore the huge emotional impact on your parent's lives of having you. Imagine…

I am Australian (the study you refer to is an Australian one) and if you read the article you will note that there are a lot of problems drawing conclusions from the study. For eg it is a study over a period of 16 years. Whilst it seems logical that sperm quality matters , the Australian study doesn't fully support…

Just to ease your mind.... there are people out there who have delivered children relatively painlessly. My biggest fear of pregnancy was giving birth..I have a very weak stomach and low low LOW pain threshold..I'm a fainter. My blood level can drop watching my kids wiggle their loose teeth. I was pleasantly…

Just want to make a comment on the use of statistics in "baby decision" making. I am an older mother ( 5 days away from being 42 when my IVF twins were born). I had my first child when I was 35 and in the 5 years following we moved a great deal (around the world). When we were finally settled and we were wanting to…

Attach a LEGO brick... a LEGO brick..... a LEGO brick. When you say "attach a lego" it makes me all twitchy.
