I delivered 3 babies vaginally that were over 10 pounds.
1 birth was shoulder dystocia & had the aid of forceps & vacuum. BUT shoulder dystocia has NOTHING to do with weight...its width of shoudlers.
My other 2 births of over 10 pounds, were fine. No complications, no episiotimies, only 1 to 3 stitches afterwards. BUT stiches can happen with any size baby. It all depends on how fast baby come sout & if your nurse or Dr does perenial (sp?) massage & if you can push slowly while crowning to prevent tearing.
I'm expecting another 10+ pounder in 7 weeks. My new OB is convinced I need a c-section because of baby's size. I think other-wise.
My belief is: If you can grow it, you can deliver it. LOL
I think alot of women are pressured into c-sections because it is true that pushing a large baby can take a bit longer, and sometimes labour can take a long time too.
Trust in your body. If your baby is showing no signs of distress, you can deliver vaginally!
My labours were between 42 hours to 18 hours.

Douche-bags or not, I hope they make it work, neither of them have much positivity going for them & they don't have many supporters, so I truly hope they can make it work.
Maybe together they did find that 'connection' that was lacking in their other relationships.
As much as i don't like cheaters or marriage wreckers, I do believe everyone deserves to find love & happiness.

Sorry, but they will never be firm or perky ever again. What you have now is what they will be like always unless you breastfeed again they will look full & firm...full of milk..lol.

When I was breastfeeding they ballooned up to a 40J.

I actually just re-read the Anne Rice series, they are one of my favorite books. Especially the one about the twin sisters...Queen of The Damned I think the title was?
But yah, my favorite modern vamp series....is Black Dagger Brotherhood. OMG...seriously...they need to make that series into a movie(s).
I used to like LK Hamilton's books too until they turned to...cheap porn. And not good porn either. LOL
I did read her Merry Gentry Series...and I think without all the cheap S'n'M porn, the story could actually be very good.

I think strippers maybe more entertainment for younger guys??
My DH used to go when he was in his twenties, but now in his thirties, he thinks strippers & the strip clubs are yucky & he actually feels sorry for the strippers. He says he wishes he didn't go when he was younger. He said its depressing to see these women take off clothes/dance for money. He now thinks its degrading.
Maybe it has something to do with him being a father now to daughters?? I don't know.
Personally, I think if you like 'em, go ahead & watch. If you wanna toss all your money at 'em....go ahead...just don't spend my money on them. I'd rather buy new shoes. Ha!

We just potty trained, and I think CDing helped him train so early. He started waking up dry at age 13 months.
I never used a service and have always washed my own in our front loader.
I also never really new about the Cding world until I became a BBer, so I learned about it here & it was great for us.
The down-side...I think I spent more on CDs then I would have on disposables because I had to try every.single.CD out there....and let me tell you...some of them cost over $30us + shipping to me. I must have been crazy. LOL!
But we did find CDs that fit my HUGE son. Which are (for those with monster-huge babies!)
Piddle Poddle toddler size fits 40lbs+
Mother-ease Toddlerease fits 40+
Fuzzi Bunz XL fits 40+ (parenting by nature will special order these if you ask her!)

Yes. We look alike. We could enter those contests about mothers& daughters who look like twins...only I'm her daughter in law.
The only difference between us is that I'm 30 yrs younger.
I look way older then I am & she looks way younger.
We're both short & round.
People even mistake us on the phone.
