Hi I gave birth to my son 16 weeks ago and I have alot of excess skin in the area that I got my episiotomy. Has anyone else got this ? Are there any alternatives to surgery to help it go away ? thanks so much

So, I'm 36.5 weeks pregnant with my first child! My husband and I don't know the sex of the baby, and we've miscarried once before, which makes us SO excited to be first time parents! I wen't from being 5'3" and 140 lbs to 156 lbs so far, and I feel really good. The baby kicks a lot and is very active! Also, I am hoping to have a natural, drug-free childbirth. I was just sort of seeking some advice so maybe those of you that already have children could tell me a little bit about what labor w

19# Surah Maryam (Mary)------------------------ 16. And mention in the Book (the Qur'an, O Muhammad , the story of) Maryam (Mary), when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east. 17. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh [angel Jibrael (Gabriel)], and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects. 18. She said: "Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah." 19. (The angel

My husband and I are planning to have a home birth with two midwives for our second child due this February. (We HAVE done our homework nad feel that this is the best option for our family barring any unforeseen complications that might be cause to lead us to deliver in the hospital. So I'm not interested in hearing your opinion on whether or not home birth is safe. I KNOW it is safe.) We are thinking about inviting my daughter (who will be four at the time) to stay and participate in the bir

So, I'm 36.5 weeks preggo with my first child :) My husband and I don't know what the sex of the baby is yet so it is so exciting! Our minds are pretty much set, but I figured I'd ask one last time... What do you think of the names we have decided on? If it's a boy: Ethan Kurt Teagan (Kurt is after my husband, Teagan is our last name) If it's a girl: Brooke Cecilia Teagan Just looking for opinions :) And also, just thought I'd add that we are hoping and planning to do a natural childbirth wit

i'm 7 months pregnant (first time) and have heard from a lot of people that it's common to poop while pushing out the baby. well i know doctors and nurses see it all the time, but obviously i'd like to avoid it if i can. so can i just poop while in labor? or would they not let me? because that would get all of that out of the system

Hi i gave birth to my son 16 weeks ago. I tore really badly and also had to get an episiotomy. My problem is that I have a small area of excess skin hanging down in my perineum at one side (the side that i got my episiotomy. It is not sore at all (it seems to have no nerves in it as it stretches and doesnt have any feeling at all when i touch it). I am just wondering if this is common and if this skin will heal up in time ? thanks alot

For the last 10 months my period has been lasting for four weeks or more. It just goes and goes and goes. After the birth of my daughter in November of last year the same thing happens but that was understandable because I had just given birth. A month after giving birth I went to see my doctor for my 6 week checkup, there I had the IUD mirena inserted. It is almost a year that I had mirena. From that time until now, my periods have been lasting four weeks with only a few days of stopping. I a

Although specific childbirth practices can differ between cultures, the practices in all cultures reflect concerns about survival, health and A. intelectual development B. social intergration C. moral traditions D. developmental timing

my gf will be giving birth in a few months & we want to have a natural childbirth in-home, my question is this-how do you know if the pain is too great that it could be of some lasting harm to the mother? then what is it that causes mothers to die during labor?

in movies they just scream like crazy and the doctors keep saying "push." but i've heard that pushing is actually a relief after the contractions. what do you think, from your experience?

Two points I want to bring up here, so just bear with me. 1) Women complain about it ALOT more than men do. On TV, when this happens, it's viewed as perfectly OK for the woman to raise hell on him whether it be physcially, emotional, mental, verbal, or even start destroying his personal possessions. Even though this had nothing to do with cheating, but rather it instead a man forgetting his wedding anniversary, do you remember that movie "Cop and a Half"? This short, stubby guy named Bobo for

Ive noticed that since I had my son 4 wks ago, my urine stream is really weak. It takes me like two or three times the usual amount of time to empty my bladder because the urine comes out soo slow!! I have a doctor appointment next week, but I just wanted to know if this is normal or should I go in sooner, I mean I've waited 4 wks so it doesnt seem urgent. But why might this be happening and is there anything I can do at home prior to seeing my doctor to help ?

This may seem like I'm kidding but I'm not. I don't want to seem rude but curiosity has gotten to me. The question is: Am I the only person who has been near permanently traumatized by the grossness of porn star vaginas? I dunno if the things I've seen are the norm, I haven't seen a lot of it and don't normally watch it from what I saw, some of them look saggy and torn up and misshapen and repulsive. You can't look for normal vaginas in porn cus you might accidentally get a pop up or somet

I'm wanting to get some information from moms who have had their children w/o epidural or anesthesia? How bad was it, did you go in planning natural, did you try natural and gave in to an epidural, are you glad you went natural? In general, I'd just like to hear experiences...I'm seriously considering going au naturale.

So i got out the shower about half an hour ago and randomly peed on the floor, i did it again about 3 minutes later and as i sat downstairs in my towel drying off i peed again twice. I don't need the toilet it just happens randomly, this has never happened before but I'm thinking maybe its got something to do with childbirth- my daughters 5 months old. Has anyone experienced this, it's really annoying and makes me feel disgusting :( Nope, i didn't cough or sneeze just happened randomly!

I think so . I dont believe for one minue that a man could stand the pain of Childbirth . I'm a man with a lot of respect for women . oh and imperato or whatever your damn name is i would like to see you try beat the sh.it out of me

Hi to everybody...I'm Italian...My English teacher told me to make summary of the book "Tristan and Isolde" for the summer holidays.Well,I did it but can anyone read it and tell me if there are any mistakes?Thank for you help! :) One day King Mark of Lyonesse asked his cousin,King Rivalin,to help him in a battle.They fought together and won the war.So King Rivalin could marry King Mark's sister and they had a son.But the mother died during the childbirth and the father was killed in battle.Wh

just lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals, asexuals, etc. just people with a different sexuality than heterosexuality, but it has to be consensual? they wouldnt accept incest, right? not even consensual hetero incest because it yields abnormal childbirths? but yes to same sex incest? no bestiality and no pedophilia, right, because it is not consenting? how do you know when u accept something and when u dont? im sure new taboos will appear in the future, or current unheard-of ones will ma

and does it smell weird? I heard childbirth in general smells bad so wouldn't the baby smell bad too?? Sam... stop asking me so many D**N questions.... obviously I want to have a baby DUUHHHHH I've said that like 50 times..again... wtf

Hello everyone, my name is Jared, I am 27 years old and have been married to my wife Alyssa, who is 24, for two years. Alyssa and I are expecting our first child on September 26th. We are both extremely excited about this, however I don't know a lot about the labor and delivery process and what to expect on my part, how things will go, or what I should and shouldn't do. There are books for Alyssa, and we signed up for childbirth classes but had an emergency come up and we were unable to attend

I am 4 months postpartum and have not had a period yet, I am also exclusively breastfeeding which I know can delay the menstral cycle beginning, just wondering how long it took other breastfeeding Mum's out there?

I breastfed the first few days and while doing that, would cramp more and was told that the feeding was speeding up the shrinking of my uterus. But this goes for all cramping that you experience after basically right? So basically cramping is a good thing? lol would help to know if that were true cause i sure feel crappy.

I had a vaginal delivery just under 2 weeks ago. I figured in many ways I'd feel better not carrying around sooooo much weight, but my joints are really hurting me. My knees in particular. What can I do to help make them feel better? Anyone else like this? I'd like to start walking and eventually exercise some weeks from now, but will be held back if my knees continue hurting. Also my right hip sometimes hurts, as well as the upper portion of my spine like i'm holding tension and the joi

I remember parts that happened in the book and I've tried whatsthatbook.com (I think that's the site's name). I read the book in the early 90's. The parts I remember are these: an actress has a daughter that she doesn't want anyone to know about so she keeps her hidden. Well the daughter falls in love with a young man named Tony who comes with workers to work on their roof?pool? they make love on the beach, she becomes pregnant. years later a reporter finds this girls diary. She pretends to be

do u thinks it right to have an a arbotion like if u had the baby you would die me and my sister are aguring about this.so do u think its right.i do. but my sis dosent and is there any way i could highlight the postivies of abortions p.s i only agree with abortion if u were raped or u could die from childbirth

I'm a first time mom and i'm 5 weeks pregnant and i'm just wondering how far along everyone else is and how do they feel at this point, i feel; there's a slight mild and dull pain on my left hand side, feel tired and nauseated and my back aches a lot. I am anxious about this pregnancy and i really hope i don't miscarry, that is my biggest fear :( Other then that, i am happy that i am pregnant and am excited for the time to come except the childbirth of course and if you can make me feel better

This isnt a pregnancy question but this seems to be the only category that ever answeres anything. Can you get a hemorrhoid from pushing too hard when you go to the bathroom and if you do, does it bleed right away or...how do you know you when you get one. I know they can be caused by pushing in childbirth so i was just wondering.

I was in Sunday school. I'm agnostic, so I wanted to find out as many questions as possible. I asked a lot, but here are some examples. 1. If childbirth pain is punishment for women, why do animals feel it? 2. If God has everything planned out, do we even have free will? 3. Why is the church against homosexuals and abortions. Homosexuals have the least amount of abortions in the world. 4. If God has a plan for us, why do we pray? Apparently, a couple kids went home and said they were atheis

For me, childbirth was like vigorous exercise, like yoga or Pilates. But so many women whine and complain as if it were some horrible ordeal. Once I thought this was the weakness and laziness of pampered Western consumerist culture and a plot by the corporations to make people both fascinated by sex and terrified of the consequences. Now, I realize I have a superiorvagina to theirs. As a very tall, very slender woman who still has womanly hips, I was readily able to pass children through m

Hiya! This is an excerpt from the first chap. of my novel. It's about a petite 6-year-old being abused by her father after her mother dies during childbirth. It's a very sad book and brought tears to my eyes reading it. I'm publishing it soon! "I have to be careful." I thought to myself as I took the pitcher of milk out of the fridge. It was almost empty, so there was no reason for me to spill it, but if I did, Daddy would be very mad at me and it would hurt. I knew he hated when I did someth

Please help, 10 pts for good answers... What are major events that occurred in the jungle? I read it but I cant narrow it down, I know Ona's rape and death at childbirth and Jurgis in jail at Christmas are some but what else? What lessons are learned in the jungle? I know that socialism is better then capitalism but what else? Thank you so much!!! :) Have a nice day.

Lately in the past month, every time I eat, I get extreme pain in between where I would think my ribs are. The whole area across my body swells up and hardens. The area feels VERY tight. The pain goes through my back and my chest feels painful and heavy. It is very hard to breathe or let alone talk. I am unable to find comfort or relief in any position. Rubbing can help and so does taking a hot shower. I feel like I need to throw up every single time but I don't always throw up. Sometimes I ne

I saw this program www.hypno-beginning.com and the testimonials are raving. Can painless childbirth really be accomplished with hypnosis?

Shouldn't it be up to the parents if they want the childbirth videotaped? I know it would probably get in the way of the hospital staff trying to do their job, but still it's a special moment that should be documented any way, right? I was kind of hoping to record my child's birth next month, but I'm not so sure if my hospital will let me.

If the pain of childbirth was given to Eve because she sinned and ate the forbidden fruit, why do animals feel pain during childbirth?

I need to get to a childbirth class soon, i am almost 30 weeks along and i am having a natural water birth. It would be Ideal that i know breathing techniques and such since im not getting pain meds. I dont even know where to look. I'm scared the baby will get here before i get into a class. evertiome i look i try to call the places and they are disconnected or wont answer, HELP!!

''And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree;she cried [in her anguish; Ah! Would that I had died before this!' But [a voice] cried to her from beneath the [palm-tree]; '' Grieve not for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee.'' And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree';it will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee.So eat and drink and cool [thine] eye. And if thou dost see any man say; I have vowed a fast to [Allah] Most Gracious and this day will I ent

Why some girls take this so lightly? Please serious answers? Why some woman take so lightly kicking guys in the balls? Why they think its funny? Why they don't consider how bad it hurts? And why they don't care the permanent damage they can cause? I have seen a lot of questions on Yahoo answers where girls always talk about ball-kicking as if it was a funny think. I know some woman will tell me it hurts more childbirth, Who knows ! In a research i did i found males have higher level of pain to

I know estrogen prevents prolactin/ lactation. But what lowers estrogen levels after childbirth so a woman can breat feed? thanks a lot guys

how did you abate your taste for meat? Regardless if one may ethically be against it, one still has cravings out of habit or conditioning. I still eat meat but would ultimately like to become a vegeterian although I would find veggie meals quite strange to me really as I feel like a part is missing. Likewise I have contemplated pescetarianism as a viable alternative. I know many equate fish on a par with land animals but from my research on their physiological design it is dubious whether they

I need some advice. I want to become CLC/CLE and PCD. I have narrowed it down to two site to go through. I really like CAPPA but I am also interested in Childbirth International. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

The woman's sexual desire for the man in this mortal realm is a joke. When they think of sex, they only think of what he can do, how they feel, they don't think about him looking sexy and think how lucky they are this sexy guy is doing them. Isn't the woman's lack of physcial sexual desire for the man's body part of the curse males carry with them as a result of Adam sinning in the Garden of Eden? Most women are unfortunately bi-sexual and can just turn off their desire for the man(even sexual

Its been 2 weeks now since i have given birth, and i feel like **** all the time. My breasts are aching and although thats normal, why do i feel fluey all the time? Everything hurts, and i dont have the flu! I havent been sleeping well, could this be the reason? Im just wondering if still feeling unwell 2 weeks later is still normal or should i be feeling well again? I should mention that i had a normal vaginal delivery with epidural.

Is pregnancy and childbirth like a walk in the park? Like scratching an itch? Something so trivial and insignificant that it doesn't impact your life in the slightest? Is the supposed pain of childbirth like a mosquito bite? Is the whole ordeal just entirely EASY? I have never been pregnant. I never will be. So I can never understand. But there seem to be plenty of people out there who believe it is a piece of cake. Well, I am asking those who have actual had the pleasure of experiencing it.
