Off topic: for any woman who has given birth

[cookderosa]

LOL! This is funny...
BUT- my biggest fear was that the baby wouldn't fit through that tiny hole! I ended up pushing out a 8-1/2 pounder! What a miracle!! She was beautiful!

WHAT!?!? You don't think that EVERY woman has that fear!? I don't think you were/are alone in that one at all

What does DH stand for?

1. What does DH stand for?

It stands for "Dear Husband." You might also see DS, DD, etc., for "Dear Son," Dear Daughter."

If I may threadjack this momentarily, as I have a question that someone might be able to answer, but didn't want to create another thread on it...

Has anyone had experience with using Acupressure bracelets to help with morning sickness? My wife had horrible morning sickness the first time around. I came across these acupressure bracelets that have some research evidence, and a lot of ancedotal evidence that went both ways (as far as them working or not working).

Anyone have any input on these?

Thanks

Well there's my disturbing thought for the day

[mrs.b]

I completely missed the yoga requirement. That's what I did wrong!

My fear was: EVERYTHING.

1) Pain.
2) What if something went wrong during labor? (It did, and thankfully my son made it through, though we still wonder if his disability is related.)
3) Would my husband look at me the same again after watching THAT?
4) I was never a "oh, let me hold the baby!" kind of girl, so what in the world were we thinking, bringing our own into the world?
5) The world is so messed up, how would we raise a little person in such a mess?
6) Pain.
7) Would I ever get back in my cute clothes?
8) Stretch marks. (Various skin cream companies can thank me, personally, for their continued survival through 2002 and 2003.)
9) Would my moodiness go away post-event? (I may not be the sweetest, most lovable darling now, but I look back on some of my "moments" and thank heaven, earth, and all in between that my husband is so mellow and understanding.)
10) Pain.
11) Would the baby like his nursery?
12) What if we installed the carseat wrong? (We didn't, thanks to the local fire department and their "check the seat" service.)
13) What if the doctor was on vacation when I went into labor? (He was.)
14) What if it snowed when I went into labor? (It did.)
15) Pain.
16) How would we ever afford to raise a child? (Selling kidneys isn't so bad.)
17) What if I forgot everything I read and studied when in labor? (For the record, everything I read and studied was USELESS.)

You get the picture. I could go on, but I think that sums up the highlights.
