going on here...not sure where its
coming from... |
|
20:15:13 |
Webmama_Tina |
i only have this window open...weird.... |
|
20:15:24 |
hathor |
I haven't read the book mommy brain yet,
but it looks wonderful! |
|
20:15:29 |
wearingjade |
how do you still have brain engery to be
creative/ |
|
20:15:56 |
hathor |
Ah well, that's a good question! |
|
20:16:01 |
wearingjade |
by the time i'm done with my day and my
three kids and hubby, i'm completly
brain dead! |
|
20:16:14 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok figured it out...i had a six flags
site window open that wasn't showing in
my toolbar...weird! |
|
20:16:15 |
hathor |
With my first daughter I went to grad
school, and took her with me |
|
20:16:24 |
Webmama_Tina |
had an owl hooting and wind
sound...freaky, LOL |
|
20:16:33 |
hathor |
I think that got me in a habit of not
messing around, jumping in |
|
20:16:43 |
hathor |
it also helped me find a medium and a
message |
|
20:16:53 |
hathor |
that I could do with my kids around |
|
20:16:55 |
wendy1221 |
I had my first when I was in college,
and I still can't get anything done ;) |
|
20:16:57 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok sorry mamas, lemme gather the queue
and y'all keep going where you're
at....throw your question marks out if
you have a question for hathor |
|
20:17:13 |
hathor |
Next question? |
|
20:17:57 |
hathor |
I sit in a big comfy chair to draw |
|
20:18:07 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok so that was it for the queue...if we
don't have a lot of questions right now
we can just free flow chat |
|
20:18:12 |
Webmama_Tina |
i think we're small enough right now.... |
|
20:18:18 |
hathor |
and try to stand at the computer and
sling to do the computer stuff, that
helps... |
|
20:18:36 |
Webmama_Tina |
besides, hathor, your chats seem like
they should be more casual anyway...cuz
you're just a casual kinda cow-mama, lol |
|
20:18:55 |
doublebravo |
hathor, greetings from brooklyn! |
|
20:18:55 |
Webmama_Tina |

kill my back...you must have a taller
desk than me |
|
20:18:58 |
hathor |
Yep, I'm pretty easy going, you should
see my house! |
|
20:19:11 |
hathor |
Yes, I have a counter height desk |
|
20:19:13 |

music being a part of so many of your
pieces - |
|
20:19:15 |
Webmama_Tina |

|
20:19:26 |
doublebravo |
i find myself wondering what the 'tunes'
are |
|
20:19:31 |
hathor |
I can sit on a bar stool, or stand |
|
20:19:32 |
wendy1221 |
I can sit at the computer all day and
write while nursing, it's getting the
housework done. ANd trying to get my
resistant ds to do anything but play w/
Legos |
|
20:19:39 |
hathor |
Thanks doublebravo |
|
20:19:39 |
Webmama_Tina |

Webmama_Tina |
yeah and on the same lines...what's your
kids' favorite music (if different than
yours) |
|
20:20:31 |
doublebravo |
random aside - i think 'seen and heard'
tshirts would be a hoot to have printed! |
|
20:20:35 |
hathor |
We love shaking a tail feather as a
group |
|
20:20:43 |

Webmama_Tina |

|
20:25:50 |
Webmama_Tina |

|
20:25:57 |
Webmama_Tina |
aren't you a birth guru, hathor? |
|
20:26:04 |
Webmama_Tina |
:) |
|
20:26:10 |
hathor |
fatmomma1217, from what I've heard
there's still plenty of time |
|
20:26:21 |
fatmomma1217 |
you thjink so? |
|
20:26:23 |
wendy1221 |
I know 3 people, including my MIL who
had vaginal deliveries of perfectly
healthy breech babies |
|
20:26:27 |
hathor |
some babies will change during the birth
process |
|
20:26:38 |
hathor |
Definitely! |
|
20:26:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
my husband and his older sister were
both delivered breech |
|
20:26:49 |
fatmomma1217 |
I'm really worried cause he keeps moving
going back to head-first and then back
to breech |
|
20:26:53 |
Webmama_Tina |
footling breech no less |
|
20:26:57 |
fatmomma1217 |
just these past few days |
|
20:27:02 |
wendy1221 |
Try doing lots of pelvic rocks and
rolling around on a birthing ball |
|
20:27:03 |
Webmama_Tina |
ohhhh, who has the spinning babies link? |
|
20:27:06 |
mairead |
alot of obs will not attempt a breech |
|
20:27:07 |
Webmama_Tina |
i don't know where i put it |
|
20:27:09 |
Webmama_Tina |
someone link her :) |
|
20:27:22 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah obs are not dealing with breech
now, unfortunately |
|
20:27:23 |
hathor |
If he's still moving then that's good,
and there are exercises you can do too! |
|
20:27:28 |
Webmama_Tina |
but like hathor said...there's still
time |
|
20:27:36 |
Webmama_Tina |
and things you can be doing now to
encourage the right position |
|
20:27:36 |
wendy1221 |
http://www.spinningbabies.com/ |
|
20:27:42 |
Webmama_Tina |
there we go..check out that site |
|
20:27:47 |
Webmama_Tina |
thanks wendy! |
|
20:27:52 |
Webmama_Tina |
lots of info on that site |
|
20:28:02 |
mairead |
i was breech a week before delivery went
15 days over and baby was right way down
can turn late eventhough they say not
enough room |
|
20:28:13 |
fatmomma1217 |
my doctor told me I can go and have the
baby turned by an expert |
|
20:28:24 |
fatmomma1217 |
but I'm afrid of the cord position |
|
20:28:31 |
hathor |
Also, check out this website
http://www.unhinderedliving.com/childbirth.html
I'm sure it talks about breech babies |
|
20:28:52 |
fatmomma1217 |
wht if I hang him god firbid |
|
20:29:49 |
hathor |
You won't, everything is going to be
okay, your Doctors job is to scare the
ever living crap out of you...but you'll
be fine and |
|
20:29:52 |
wendy1221 |
My brother was born witrh the cord
wrapped 3 times around his neck. His
daughter is almost 3 now. :) |
|
20:29:56 |
hathor |
you're going to do great |
|
20:30:19 |
hathor |
Lots of mothers give birth to babies
with wrapped cords they just unloop it |
|
20:30:38 |
emiLyQ |
A ha! I found everyone! :) |
|
20:30:38 |
wendy1221 |
My 3rd ds, born at home also had the
cord wrapped around his neck, but only
once. He was and is fine. |
|
20:30:52 |
hathor |
The point is that you need to be calm
and relaxed and allow your birth to
happen as naturally as possible |
|
20:31:06 |
wendy1221 |
definitely |
|
20:31:07 |
hathor |
Is a midwife an option at home? |
|
20:31:25 |
hathor |
It's never ever ever too late to fire
your doctor |
|
20:31:27 |
wendy1221 |
It's not too late to switch! |
|
20:31:46 |
fatmomma1217 |
also I'm not dilated at all is there a
way to help start that whole process |
|
20:31:57 |
Webmama_Tina |
what's the hurry? |
|
20:32:03 |
Webmama_Tina |
is baby ok? |
|
20:32:04 |
emiLyQ |
Just let it happen. |
|
20:32:16 |
hathor |
And if the Dr is already putting you in
a high risk place, you might want to
consider changing providers pronto! |
|
20:32:28 |
fatmomma1217 |
the baby is fine I'm just getting sort
of discouraged |
|
20:32:29 |
Webmama_Tina |
are you ok? cuz if baby is ok and you
are ok...there shouldn't be a hurry |
|
20:32:38 |
hathor |
I'm a 10 monther, my babies usually come
about 14 to 24 days overdue |
|
20:32:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
hang in there |
|
20:32:49 |
Webmama_Tina |
you won't be pregnant forever |
|
20:33:00 |
Webmama_Tina |
all babies are born eventually |
|
20:33:15 |
Webmama_Tina |

there, i promise! LOL |
|
20:33:21 |
fatmomma1217 |

Check out this quote: womenÕs bodies
were designed to birth. thatÕs a simple
fact. you were designed to birth
naturally. no experience or training
neccessary. thereÕs no special esoteric
mystery about it. itÕs a very simple
every day fact of life. millions of
women have done it for millions of
years. itÕs a tremendous blessing but
itÕs also completely ordinary and normal
and not only for a special few. you can
do it too. i have absolute trust in
that.Ó |
|
20:38:14 |

quote! |

20:39:11 |
wendy1221 |
Since this IS the mothering chat, you
might want to check out
http://www.mothering.com/discussions |
|
20:39:33 |
Webmama_Tina |
geez, what the heck did LLL do to their
site? |
|
20:39:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
looks totally different |
|
20:39:40 |
emiLyQ |
(the quote) How normal, natural it is.
I am gearing up for a possible UC and am
going back and forth between trying to
learn everything and be super prepared
and just going with the flow, reading
some but also just trusting that I
already know and will |
|
20:39:54 |
emiLyQ |
know what to do. This is my 2nd
pregnancy so I have experience already,
but still. |
|
20:39:56 |
hathor |
Yes, the mothering.com discussion boards
are a HUGE help |
|
20:40:03 |
wendy1221 |
yeah, it looks more professional now,
but it's almost impossible to find
anything |
|
20:40:13 |
hathor |
and wonderful for getting real help and
truthful answeres |
|
20:40:35 |
emiLyQ |
I usually don't like forums (prefer
email groups) but I have gotten hooked
at MDC lately. |
|
20:40:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
its UGLY! |
|
20:40:54 |
hathor |
I wondered the same thing before my UC,
plan, read or just relax and go... |
|
20:41:06 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok fatmomma1217 go here:
http://www.lalecheleaguenj.org/ |
|
20:41:12 |
Webmama_Tina |
find the closest group |
|
20:41:22 |
hathor |
In the end my UC was exactly how I had
planned it so that was wonderful! |
|
20:41:26 |
Webmama_Tina |
you really never heard about la leche
league? |
|
20:41:31 |
Webmama_Tina |
that blows my mind |
|
20:41:33 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol |
|
20:41:47 |
fatmomma1217 |
not to change the subject but is it
true that haviong sex now would induce
labor? just curious would never do it |
|
20:41:48 |
fatmomma1217 |
lol |
|
20:41:56 |
fatmomma1217 |
oh thanks |
|
20:41:57 |
Webmama_Tina |
could |
|
20:41:58 |
fatmomma1217 |
I will |
|
20:42:04 |
hathor |
Yeah, La Leche League is wonderful, and
it would be great for you to see some
faces meet some people |
|
20:42:16 |
Webmama_Tina |
yes and they will be great to talk to |
|
20:42:26 |
hathor |
so if you have a problem breastfeeding
(you won't it'll go great!) but if you
do |
|
20:42:29 |
emiLyQ |
Oh - do it! Yes, semen can help soften
the cervix!!! |
|
20:42:35 |
Webmama_Tina |
i started going the last trimester with
my first |
|
20:42:51 |
hathor |
then you can call them and know who
you're talking to |
|
20:43:26 |
fatmomma1217 |
I thought just the motion is what does
it |
|
20:43:35 |
hathor |
Yep, semen helps, and I've had sex the
day of all 3 of my births |
|
20:43:51 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh i found your county:
http://www.lalecheleaguenj.org/search.php?COUNTY=Morris&Submit=Find |
|
20:43:56 |
fatmomma1217 |
the day you give birth? |
|
20:43:57 |
hathor |
but my dh is definitely not into it, I
am gigantic!!!!!!! |
|
20:43:58 |
DiscoCel |
Well you could have sex while driving
down a bumpy road.... ;) |
|
20:43:59 |
emiLyQ |
So, Hathor/Heather, you did do tons of
research? I am not really thinking
planning, but more like be prepared for
every possible problem." I've been
thinking about seeking out birth stories
where things go wrong, just so I would
know what to do. But it" |
|
20:44:09 |
DiscoCel |
and eating spicy food... haha |
|
20:44:09 |
Webmama_Tina |
that's a huge list...you got lots of
help there! |
|
20:44:26 |
emiLyQ |
also seems like inviting troubling
thoughts. Or something woo-woo like
that. |
|
20:44:46 |
wendy1221 |
My dh accidentally hit my cervix really
hard when I was 38 weeks w/ ds2. I think
that's why he was born so early. My
other 2 were born right around our due
date (I have a very predicatable period,
so I know my due date is exactly right) |
|
20:44:58 |
Webmama_Tina |
semen works just like the gel they use
for inducing...without the side effects |
|
20:45:12 |
emiLyQ |
My husband was easily persuaded. Tell
him it's his last chance for at least a
few weeks. |
|
20:45:17 |
fatmomma1217 |
wow that is amazing |
|
20:45:24 |
fatmomma1217 |
does it hurt? |
|
20:45:26 |
hathor |
I do tons of research for just about
everything I do |
|
20:45:47 |
hathor |
and I had a copy of Emergency Childbirth
for dh |
|
20:45:47 |
wendy1221 |
I definitely kept having sex up until
the end w/ all 3 of my pregnancies
though. lol ;) |
|
20:45:55 |
babygrant |
hello? |
|
20:46:03 |
hathor |
It helped with dh's nerves |
|
20:46:05 |
Webmama_Tina |
hi babygrant |
|
20:46:10 |
fatmomma1217 |
wasn't it painfulfor you? |
|
20:46:14 |
emiLyQ |
Yes - I need that. |
|
20:46:21 |
babygrant |
hey :) |
|
20:46:47 |
hathor |
I loved the birthstories on
Mothering.com and the |
|
20:46:48 |
Webmama_Tina |
well its not always comfortable that
late in pregnancy...but it shouldn't be
painful if he's gentle |
|
20:46:55 |
wendy1221 |
What? WHen dh hit my cervix? Yes, it
was, enough to end the moment. BUt hey,
it worked lol |
|
20:46:57 |
hathor |
stories in New Nativity |
|
20:46:58 |
emiLyQ |
(the book). My husband is definitely
nervous, but I'm actually not counting
on him for much knowledge/support.
Which is fine with me. He can hang with
our daughter and I have a
doula-in-training friend I might call if
I want another person here. |
|
20:47:12 |

We had a water birth w/ our 3rd and my
dh supported me in the tub. It was
completely magical. THere's something
about water that soothes everyone, I
think. |
|
20:47:51 |
fatmomma1217 |
I really want to try it this sounds
funny but he really turns me on just
recently |
|
20:47:54 |
fatmomma1217 |
lol |
|
20:47:56 |
hathor |
No matter what job you give your husband
to do during the birth he will get all
credit for the birth! :D |
|
20:48:00 |
Webmama_Tina |
lets get back to questions for hathor,
shall we? |
|

wendy1221 |
Hey, I have a ? for you, Hathor |
|
20:50:49 |
Webmama_Tina |
hey hathor....would you ever do a
reality tv show like wife swap? |
|
20:50:52 |
hathor |
wife swap is? |
|
20:51:04 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh you haven't seen it? |
|
20:51:08 |
hathor |
No, I wouldn't do it |
|
20:51:24 |
Webmama_Tina |
http://abc.go.com/primetime/wifeswap/ |
|
20:51:25 |
hathor |
Perhaps if my kids were teens |
|
20:51:30 |
Webmama_Tina |
right i hear ya |
|
20:51:33 |
Webmama_Tina |
that's my feelings too |
|
20:51:39 |
emiLyQ |
Right - you have to leave your family
for several days. |
|
20:51:39 |
hathor |
But I'm sure they will put the kids in
school |
|
20:51:48 |
Webmama_Tina |
but i am trying to find a homeschool
family to do it and finally show a
positive side |
|
20:51:56 |
wendy1221 |
I've never seen it either. And no way
would I subject my kids to someone
else's mothering, especially the people
they'd be likely to swap me w/ |
|
20:52:02 |
Webmama_Tina |
they keep having freaks on there that
happen to homeschool |
|
20:52:04 |
Webmama_Tina |
very frustrating |
|
20:52:19 |
doublebravo |
hathor - i wonder how you were raised
and how that has affected your parenting
choices |
|
20:52:21 |
hathor |
A friend of mine was contacted by them
http://www.enjoyparenting.com/ |
|
20:52:28 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah i would never do it....but i do
want someone to do it so that we can get
a better representation out there |
|
20:52:29 |
emiLyQ |
I haven't watched it lately, but I
remember a homeschool family that wasn't
horrible. It was the more unschooling
family - not the one with the torture
device! |
|
20:52:38 |
hathor |
but his wife refused |
|
20:52:50 |
Webmama_Tina |
emiLyQ its actually for 2 weeks! |
|
20:52:59 |
Webmama_Tina |
i can't believe the moms that leave
toddlers and preschoolers! |
|
20:53:04 |
Webmama_Tina |
for 2 weeks1 |
|
20:53:11 |
wendy1221 |
!! |
|
20:53:16 |
Webmama_Tina |
yup |
|
20:53:25 |
Webmama_Tina |
there's 2 similar shows...i think wife
swap is the better one |
|
20:53:30 |
Webmama_Tina |
the other is trading spouses |
|
20:53:33 |
Webmama_Tina |
that one is just one week |
|
20:53:36 |
emiLyQ |
oh yeah, one week under their" rules and
then one under your new ones." |
|
20:53:36 |
hathor |
Hi doublebravo, I was raised by
hippy-ish folks and my mama is a school
teacher, one of the passionate ones |
|
20:53:39 |
DiscoCel |
eek.. I homeschool because I want to BE
with my children... no way would I run
off for two weeks |
|
20:53:41 |
Webmama_Tina |
right |
|
20:53:45 |
hathor |
loves learning and being with kids |
|
20:53:57 |
hathor |
and is very easygoing. |
|
20:53:58 |
emiLyQ |
i agree, wife swap is better. but still
not good enough for me to dvr it. :) |
|
20:54:03 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh hathor...i didn't know that..is your
mom supportive of your homeschooling? |
|
20:54:08 |
wendy1221 |
How do you motivate your kids w/
unschooling? Get them interested in
things |
|
20:54:13 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh i enjoy watching it, lol |
|
20:54:38 |
Webmama_Tina |
right, DiscoCel my guess is that's why
they're having such a dickens of a time
getting someone |
|
20:54:40 |
hathor |
Yes she's supportive and proud though
she's under the impression that we
actually homeschool"" |
|
20:54:45 |
emiLyQ |
I haven't met very many kids that aren't
interested in TONS of things. |
|
20:54:59 |
emiLyQ |
does she READ your comics?! :) |
|
20:55:07 |
Webmama_Tina |
but they had no problem getting the
other homeschoolers cuz they were
already freaks in other areas...one
family was a bunch of people that lived
and dressed and acted like they were
from the middle ages |
|
20:55:12 |
Webmama_Tina |
like a perpetual renaissance fair |
|
20:55:23 |
DiscoCel |
LOL!! |
|
20:55:24 |
hathor |
Though I tell her what we do, she just
assumes they are in class |
|
20:55:24 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol hathor |
|
20:55:49 |
hathor |
I like watching wife swap too |
|
20:55:59 |
Webmama_Tina |
did you see the pirate family? too funny |
|
20:56:05 |
hathor |
My dh thinks its a trainwreck, but
that's what I like about it |
|
20:56:06 |
Webmama_Tina |
freakazoids, that's what i kept
thinking, LOL |
|
20:56:28 |
Webmama_Tina |
there's supposed to be a local family on
there soon...was supposed to be on this
week but wasn't |
|
20:56:41 |
hathor |
the pirates were sane compared to the
woman who made them sit in buckets with
taped names on their shirts! |
|
20:56:51 |
hathor |
are there anymore questions? |
|
20:56:57 |
emiLyQ |
Now you're making me want to watch. |
|
20:57:22 |
hathor |
I have to go soon, I have kids to bed
and Lost premiere to see :angel: |
|
20:57:40 |
doublebravo |
what do you do with your kids re
television i was wondering about
television at your house |
|
20:57:43 |
hathor |
more questions? |
|
20:58:08 |
doublebravo |
here our little one doesn't watch any -
she's 20 mos. and people look at me like
i'm nuts |
|
20:58:15 |
doublebravo |
!!! |
|
20:58:36 |
hathor |
doublebravo, my kids watch just a wee
bit (my oldest is 9) and they can order
movies |
|
20:58:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh yeah too true...that lady was bizarre |
|
20:58:51 |
hathor |
when she was little she didn't watch any
eeither |
|
20:58:59 |
doublebravo |
the ads is what i find really offensive |
|
20:59:27 |
doublebravo |
so a tot that is into her world and
wooden toys all of a sudden sees
bursting world of plastic or even worse
dangerous toys |
|
20:59:52 |
hathor |
Now my littlest one watches more than
I'd like...but its hard to separate them
when the tv is on |
|
21:00:01 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah tv is like a drug |
|
21:00:10 |
hathor |
and my kids go to bed early and we don't
have a tv on until late |
|
21:00:10 |
Webmama_Tina |
we use it far too much...but i am tired
of feeling guilty about it |
|
21:00:12 |
doublebravo |
how old is your youngest? |
|
21:00:26 |
hathor |
I'd say the kids watch about 6 hours a
week at the most |
|
21:00:26 |
Webmama_Tina |
so i just try to make sure its pbs |
|
21:00:27 |
Webmama_Tina |
:) |
|
21:00:29 |
Webmama_Tina |
pbs rocks! |
|
21:00:37 |
hathor |
my youngest is 28 months |
|
21:00:56 |
Webmama_Tina |
and my dd actually turns the tv off
often...gotta love her! |
|
21:00:57 |
Webmama_Tina |
LOL |
|
21:01:07 |
Webmama_Tina |
so i can't be doing all that bad, lol |
|
21:01:20 |
hathor |
