With me, first child I was out of the bed seriously within 5 minutes of having him.  I didn't tear or have to be cut, he was 7 pounds, 3 ounces.  The doctor did some type of vaginal massage on me though while I was in labor and that was supposed to help loosen the vaginal wall?

Second child, same experience.  She was 8 pounds, 1 ounce and within 5 minutes of having her, while they took her to the nursery to get cleaned up and all, I walked downstairs with my husband to the cafeteria to get a drink and stretch my legs.  I had already put my regular clothes back on as well.  My doctor who delivered her was walking in my room as I was walking in and he was stunned a second and said he thought I was a visitor, LOL, not the patient.

I don't think you have to have bed rest in normal cases.  With my son I went home within 24 hours with him and with my daughter we went home in only 20 hours.

So I have been diagnosed with an overactive bladder (you know like the pipes commercial). I thought I had bladder infection or UTI starting this week. I went to the doctor yesterday and had to give the sample, but it all came back negative. Doc. stated clean as a whistle so I said what is going on? All I feel like doing is peeing and when I go most times very little comes out. He tells me sounds like you are suffering from an overactive bladder. He puts me on the generic form of Pyridium (phenazopyridine) and says takes these, but states if I finish and it is still bothering me, I need to see a urologist.

Has anyone else suffered from this before and what can be done about it? I am at my wit's end. I had this a month ago, too. I am terribly uncomfortable! The pills help a little, but still driving me crazy! Doc. stated anyone can get this and there is no real cause they they know of. He did mention stress, and I have been under more lately. Anyone else out there got any advice. My first thought is I have something major wrong with my pipes like a tumor or cancer? Any and all thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

but my mother's bread pudding and rice pudding had to be the ultimate!  I just wish she had taught me to make them!

post that. The DEVIL made me do it!!!   LOL!  Thanks for appreciating my humor!

post this picture!  I think you're lyin' though.  ;-)  You're probably quite beautiful but keep downin' yourself just because.  I have a friend who does that and I wanna smack her! 

You want fugly?  Here ya go my dear! 

Especially American Wedding when Stiffler eats dog doo!  These movies make me pee my pants -- speaking of which, my fav romantic movie is Pretty Woman - that's her line in the opera scene when she tells those old biddies "it was so good, I almost peed my pants."

My best friend loves Grease, too.  She knows every single line (which can get quite annoying).

Not because I doubted their abilities, but because it seemed like in the first rotation or 2, they were showing some serious bias to the Chinese.  Shawn Johnson's balance beam was way better than Ying Yilan's and yet her score was ranked higher (not talking about the difficulty value, just the execution score) Even the commentators last night were talking about it.  Nastia's uneven bars got a lower score than it deserved as well.  I'm glad to see the judges got their heads out of their you-know-whats for the last 2 rotations and gave these girls the scores they deserved. 

I do feel somewhat bad for the Chinese girl, though.  I hope she doesn't lose a few fingers or toes over this.  Of course as young as she is, I'm sure she'd recover quickly.     That's something else that seemed strange to me, the American girls seemed very emotional and yet the Chinese - nothing (at least not last nice).  Could that be because our girls have a few more hormones running through them, like any normal 16-year-old would? Hmmmm

My son is 11 and the last few days has had a few "wet farts" -- there's no color to it, but enough to soak through his jeans.  He didn't even notice it, said he didn't feel wet, but we noticed it and so did another child at school.  At first, I thought he just sat in something wet, but when he came home from school with it, I took a second look at his jeans and noticed the position of it was more in line with "an accident."  He says he doesn't remember passing gas.  There's a slight discoloration to it and a slight odor. 

I've never had this happen to me personally except when I was getting over diarrhea.  Has anyone else had this happen without being sick?  Any ideas on what could be causing it?  I'm hoping it's not a rectocele or IBS. 

My cat likes to sharpen her claws on my leather office chair.  I always immediately scold her when she does it and I make her stop, but my chair has got little puncture marks on it which is irritating.  My sister had her cat declawed and he was in so much pain for like two weeks afterwards.  I just don't think I can do it no matter how irritating it is when my kitty scratches on my chair.  My vet offers declawing as a service, but she tells me it is akin to having all our fingernails and toelnails ripped off!  YEOWCH!

So I'm thinking no...

There are 2 kids in my daughter's class of 26 1st graders that can't read, and my daughter can barely read.  We have a horrible teacher who basically doesn't care and refuses to spend any individual time with these kids because she tells you she has too many kids to do that, and the principal doesn't care because the kids aren't at least 6 months behind their peers.  The school board leaves it up to the individual schools.  My husband & I are strongly considering home schooling her since she's learning more at home with us since we started tutoring her than she is at school.

Yet, at this very same school, they have 1 teacher per 7 students for the ESL class of kids that don't know English, and of course  I'm willing to bet that these kids are either illegal immigrants or their parents are illegal since they don't know the language at all (in our area of the country).

It's not right that federal laws require we teach these people our language and the schools have to hire teachers to teach them the language, yet our truly American kids, born of American parents, can't get anything but teachers that are overwhelmed with large class sizes.
