another day, another nutjob.

What I've learned from this is that I need to learn more about my body. Holy smokes. Well, I learned that and that Lala's uterus is shedding like a snake.

And when you do happen to release an egg, there are other barriers that the BC puts up to keep you from getting pregnant. I won't go into all of that because that will make non-Bump goers rip their eyes out.So Lala, I'm guessing that part of the time you are shooting eggs and the other part your body is just going through some withdraw bleeding. Still super sucks, but at least you're not 4 cycles closer to Meopause, right?

I haven't yet, but a lot of people recommend Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It's not just good for trying to get KU, but to learn more about your body in general. I know all this stuff because I've gone through a million BCs trying to get things right and am about to go off it completely. Gotta figure out how not to get KU before we're ready.

lvb, yeah, a lot of people I know have read TCOYF. I'm sure before the time comes, I'll read it, although when my friends talk to me about it now my eyes glaze over. same as when people are talking about sports or recipes.

I think I'd be ripping out my uterus with a paperclip at that point.Amazing quote.

I don't get people pushing it like the bible (like you're a total idiot on the Bump if you haven't read it), but it seems pretty informative. Like I said, it's just as good for preventing pregnancy as trying for it. Just a good resource all around.

laladypoet · November 2009

I think you're an idiot on the bump if you're on the bump. I hate those cvntfaces. especially the attachment parenting forum. jay-sus.

louisvillebride21 · November 2009

I'm extremely baby crazy right now, so I lurk over there. But some of that shiit makes me furious. The attachment parenting is the number 1 thing. The other day I was reading and all these posters were talking about how possessive they are of their baby and how they don't even trust their moms or MILs around it. Cause they never raised a kid either, right? And then one girl freaked the F out because the kids grandpa let him take one little lick of a tootsie pop. Really?

louisvillebride21 · November 2009

I also saw the best/worst ticker of all time over there...8 years X months X days until Blah has a Freshman girl KU.WHAT. THE. EFF.

lyndausvi · November 2009

LVB - read that one too. Those people are crazy. I wanted to post the picture of me at 5 months old sitting on my grandma's lap drinking beer from her frosted mug.

Haha, keep working on the clicky thing. It clicked but said page cannot be found.

louisvillebride21 · November 2009

Hmm. Good call. I bet they just LOVE this book over there.

lyndausvi · November 2009

I agree with some of what Free Range kids have to say. I truly think we are becoming too overprotective. That said, they are little too extreme.

louisvillebride21 · November 2009

I think that goes back to how the world has changed some. I don't think I'd let my kid go to catch the subway by himself at 7, but I don't have any problem with him ridding his bike down the street.I just think we're raising a whole lot of emo pusssy children. Especially with that attachment parenting thing.

lyndausvi · November 2009

LVB - it's all on where and how you raise you kids. I know 6 years olds who sail their own boats. I mean they are alone on a sailboat. If they tip the boat over, they just tip it back and climb in. Some people would be horrified. These kids have been on boats all their lives and do not think twice about it.

laladypoet · November 2009

I just think we're raising a whole lot of emo pusssy children.word. there's just as many dangerous people now as ever, but we're more aware of it now and it's getting to where you have to wrap your kid in bubble wrap before you let them leave the house.free range kids is a little extreme, but doing some of those things creates independent, self-reliant, confident kids. I'm not going to hand my kid a chainsaw, but I will teach them about knives and how you always cut away from yourself, etc.

I think being pregnant in the current social environment terrifies me more than the actual being pregnant part. I really don't want to have to deal with the shiitstorm of self-righteous people who will freak out if they see me eating sushi, or raw cookie dough, or a glass of wine/mixed drink. Our mothers, their mothers, and thousands of mothers before them have done things like that, and the 6.5 billion or so of us seem to have come out mostly okay.Too little wisdom, too much micromanaging/fearmongering in motherhood today.

lyndausvi · November 2009

ditto mocha... I feel the same way. Just the other day on the boat I asked a couple if they wanted something to drink. The woman (I would say 4-5 months along) said "I will have ONE glass of champange". I felt bad that she felt the need to tell us because we or the rest of the guests were judging her.

louisvillebride21 · November 2009

I'm really glad I'm not only one that feels this way. I was starting to feel like a bad future mother. I know I'm not going to be as uptight as most of them seem. And I know that doesn't mean I love my kids any less. Luckily, my mom and FMIL all feel the same way so ill have a little support on this.

louisvillebride21 · November 2009

One thing that worries me is, how do I know what's right? I could go to ten different doctors and get 10 different answers on the drinking thing. It seems to be a matter of opinion. Same with the debate on whether babies should sleep on their back or tummy. I just feel like there's so much ambuguity and that is what's caused the overprotection. But I'm not positive what I should ease up on or what I should be vigilant about.

lyndausvi · November 2009

It's a tough one.I think any good doctor is going to tell you not to have any alcohol or any of the stuff mocha mentioned.Not because they do not think you shouldn't eat/drink it. But god forbid something happend you can sue them for giving you bad advice.

mocha beans · November 2009

I think that overabundance of information is the problem. EVERYONE seems to have a "scientifically" validated opinion, all along the spectrum. One doc says no booze whatsoever, another says some is okay, you're screwed no matter what. And with people being so quick to call CPS or the cops for anything that they deem as wrong, I'd be terrified too about doing anything that anyone deemed as wrong. Not that people need to start turning a blind eye to obvious abuse or neglect issues, but my god lets not be so nitpicky. One glass of wine at dinner with a full meal over the course of an hour is not likely going to do irreparable damage, and does not mean that the mother is a heavy drinker at all.
