Shamey, that acounts for your nicely shaped head!

Apparently, NBC Today has a bias against natural childbirth.

It's true. I came out looking like the Gerber baby. No stress, no mess. LOL!

Shamey, I was venting about the idiocy of some people here.

I guess Moony thought I sneezed.

Deet, I will go all Polish on your ass whenever I darn well please!

And we're back to Girly's fascination with gay men's butts.

Deet, we should just call her Gayass


Oh BTW...I don't buy that whole if you're a C-section there's no bonding...my sons were both C-sections and they have better bonds with their mother and me than my nieces do with their parent's and they were vaginal births....so scrape the idea of that and that you bond more when you breast feed. My sons weren't breast fed and they are just fine. Who does these f*cking studies anyway? Evidently ,idiots!!! I always say, do what you feel is best for you and your baby. What is right for you may not be right for someone else. As long as you give a child love and understanding and treat them with respect all will be good.

We used to have friends who had 3 kids - when the first one was born the mother read every single book and every single study that was available at the time. She drove everyone, including us, nuts and all three of her kids became nervous wreck disasters by the time they were a year old.

Needless to say, we're no longer friends.

I wasn't breast fed either and I turned out fine.


Well, except for that whole gay thing. Uh oh!

So Shamey, you think if your mother breast fed you that you wouldn't want to be doing it now? What's my excuse? I wasn't breast fed and I still don't want to be

I had a vaginal birth - whereupon I immediately turned around, took one look, and screamed, "I am NEVER going near another one of those things in my life!"

B, I don't think anyone but Brd (the straight man) wants those visuals and I don't want any of you to have them either.

Shut. Up. Deet.

She hates that tune, too, you know.

I have NEVER seen a study that makes those claims about c-sections, bonding, etc. That's just nonsense. I don't see anything wrong with the Today Show piece, either. Just because the reason for the procedure wasn't mentioned, doesn't mean that there was no good reason (not that the reason would be anyone's business, anyway). Get over it.

Not to mention the fact that my mom still blames me for her never being able to get her figure back.

What WERE you thinking, Shamey?

[Q]

Posted: 2/2/10 at 1:30pm

Shamey - just remember that therapy is basically the world's easiest gameshow, where every correct answer is, "My mother."

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 2/2/10 at 1:31pm

Well if studies are proven correctly about breast feeding and bonding that would mean that children would never bond with their fathers....that is my point...it's ridiculous. I never knew that they said the same is true for C-section births. I only heard about breast feeding.

I am sure there was a reason for airing the show on C-section births, but even if not, it's good to be well educated. If the show bothers anyone there's this really useful button on your remote control that turns your TV on and off. I use it all the time.

Thank you, Q - that's going to be my new sig.

"What WERE you thinking, Shamey?"

About what, Moony? Linking the gay thing with breast feeding? Yeah, no clue. I should've known Mr. Theresnolineiwontcross would be all over it.

So true, Q!

No, the thing about ruining your mom's figure.

"Mr. Theresnolineiwontcross" Moi? Well I never! Well maybe once or twice..not counting Thailand of course.

BB, I posted that a c-section delays bonding between mother and baby! I did not state that a c-section prevents bonding! The reality is that a c-section delays initial contact with the mom and baby during the first days of life. A c-section is major surgery requiring physical recovery. The immediate moments after birth are an important time for mom/baby bonding. There are numerous experts that would support that statement. And, I believe that my statement that a c-section “delays” bonding is accurate.

I am a proponent of natural childbirth, but “healthy mom, healthy baby” must always be the priority. C-sections are usually medically necessary. I would not have any reason to criticize a procedure which promotes a healthy mom and baby! I do believe, however, that c-sections without medical justification place an increased burden on an already taxed healthy system and squander resources.

I did not criticize mothers who do not breastfeed. There are many factors that affect a mother’s decision of whether or not to breast food. There are numerous studies to support the positive effects of breast feeding. Society generally shuns breast feeding and there is inadequate information and support from the medical community for mothers who desire or choose to breastfeed. You are more likely to be given a free case of formula in the maternity ward than quality time with a lactation consultant. The issue of what is best for the baby can be clouded on this issue because of a lack of education and support. But, I do not judge any individual mother for not breast feeding. (Other than my mother!)

But, obviously, as you stated, love and understanding and respect is more important than birth methods or choice of formula or mother’s milk.
I was not breast fed. See what happened to me!

And, just to add further fuel to this discussion – I WANT MY FORESKIN BACK!
