Christmas is coming and I would like to make tree ornaments with my toddler for the family. The basic salt, flour and water recipe I find it cracks a lot as it dries. Was wondering if any parents out there had a good recipe they would like to share? Thanks!

My little one is cutting her top two teeth right now and whenever she drinks from her sippy cup the water comes out of her mouth like she's numb? Has anyone else had something similar happen to their baby?

We recently started solids with our baby and she has been pooping very infrequently. How often did your little go between movements after starting solid foods?

I have had my bloody show now and I know the books say labor can start within the next 48 hours. I'm looking for your personal experiences. How long did it take from your bloody show to go into labor?

I want to know what other mothers and mother-to-be opinions are on medical intervention when a woman goes into labor.

Example:

A woman is in labor lets say she's about 6 hours in and at 4cm. The hospital has decided that things are not progressing fast enough for them so they give her pitocin. After having the pitocin her contractions have become much more frequent and very painful so she has a epidural. Now she numb and 10cm and is having issues pushing because she can't feel her contractions so the intervene yet again using forceps, vacuum, or even jump into a c-section. At the end of all this we all say "Thank goodness the doctors were there to intervene and save the baby..blah blah blah."

My opinion is that is the hospital never injected the women with artificial hormones a lot of this could have been avoided. Women have been giving birth for hundred of years yet now it's become a gong show and it seems like you are not able to fulfil your idea of what birth should be like. What's your opinion?

I've heard stories on the news in regards to how the American people reject the idea of having Universal Health Care because they do not trust their government to run such a program.

I just read a heartbreaking story about a mother who was in an accident while 38 weeks pregnant and even though her and her son are doing well she's faced with multiple bills and is unsure of what to do.

Question is....If you were offered Universal Health Care would you take? Yes or no and why?

I've been in this forum since I discovered I was pregnant and was curious as to why a lot of young women are being unsafe when it comes to sex?

Are you trying to get pregnant?

Do you not know any better?

Is that why you are in here afterwards asking people if you are pregnant?

What about STD's? Do you not worry about what your actions can do to your health?
