Frightening Event
The most frightening event that I had so far happened during my second year in high school. It was around 12:00am when it happened, while I was sitting on a bench outside my favorite computer shop, I spaced out for a while, looking around my surroundings and I noticed how quiet and vast the road at night. Out of the blue, I found myself looking at the street lights, amazed by how they formed a straight line. Then in the distance, I noticed a vehicle rushing towards my direction. I watched the 3-Wheeled Motorcycle as it moves closer to me by following the headlights. I stared at it and waited for it to pass me by. However, as the vehicle’s about to approach, I suddenly heard a loud howling of tires. I was shocked and then I saw the vehicle’s front side drift with sparks coming out in all directions. Then as soon as I thought it was about to stop, the vehicle flipped upside down. It gave me a cold chill at the back of my spine. Even though it all happened in just a matter of second, in my point of view everything moves in slow motion. As soon as the vehicle stops rolling, I dash towards the people near me and ask for help. Then the unexpected happened, I heard a cry of a baby coming inside the passenger side of the vehicle. I was stunned and didn’t know what to do, so I rushed to the scene and as a tried to look for the baby. I can smell scent of a burning tire and horrible scent of gasoline that was leaking. It made me think that the vehicle might explode just like what usually happens on, finally helped arrived and we manage to get the baby and the mother. Fortunately they’re both fine, however the driver was critically injured. Just by thinking the worst case scenario during that time, it scared me to death and because of that I believed that this is the most frightening event so far.

I’m pregnant with my first and have been doing a lot of reading lately about elective c-sections. That’s where a woman chooses a c-section herself and does not attempt vaginal birth.
The reason many women pick this is because vaginal delivery causes urinary and sometimes bowel incontinence that can last a very long time (if not forever), and also uterine prolapse later in life. Elective c-sections, i.e., NOT emergency ones where you’ve already been in labor for awhile, reduces the incidence of these problems. Also, it is now such a safe surgery that OB’s are calling the risks and benefits of a vaginal vs. c-section to be “a wash.”
At first I wanted a vaginal birth 100%, I didn’t want unnecessary abdominal surgery, I wasn’t afraid of pain or anything, etc. etc. but the more I read about it in large scientific studies, the less I believe that’s such a good idea.
This is partly because “natural” childbirth isn’t so natural anymore! The female pelvis has been accommodating 6 lb infants for much of prehistory, and now the average Western kid weighs 8 lbs at birth in some areas! According to the best research, more than half of all female bodies can’t handle an infant of this size “naturally” without causing some real damage to the muscles and nerves of the pelvic floor. I was stunned to read how common these problems were and how long they lasted – for many years in a significant number of cases. Nobody told me – and I feel like I didn’t sign up for that.
I am therefore strongly considering an elective c section. Sure, a perfect vaginal birth is the best option – but there is no guarantee that anybody’s birth can be really uncomplicated or perfect. I think I am changing my mind about it.
When I say this, I get a lot of strong negative opinions on elective c sections from women, and I am puzzled as to where this vitriol comes from. Are people merely afraid of surgery, or they just don’t like Western medicine, or they want you to suffer as much as they did, or what? It seems like a really viable option to me, since the modern c-section is such a safe procedure in 2010.

I married my wife in October. I was very keen to marry her (more so than her) as i thought she was the most wonderful woman. We found out to our delight that she was pregnant just before.
She has an 18yr old son and I a 19yr old. Her son went to live with her parents (he used to hit her and has since been diagnosed with severe depression since his father tried to kill him and my wife and raped her.
My wife moved in with me and my son. Shortly after she got upset missing her son. I told her if we found a bigger hosue he could live with us (I live in a 2bed). I was offered a 3bed house and turned it down. She got upset with this but I told her I would never live with her son because of his manner. My son is perfect hers is not.
My wife told me that her son was actually happier with her parents as their house had bad memories for him (the attack happened there and since her ex went to prison her windows have been broken a few times). She said the reason she wanted the 3bed house is so theres room for my son and the baby. I understand this but didnt trust her. Now I may be prepared to accept a 3bed house but she no longer wants to, saying she needed me to show i was committed & have somewhere for us to have the baby. Originally my son was goiong to live with his mum – my wife thought the 3bed house was a solution as I’d be devastated if he left – now however she says she wants the original plan.
She is upset that I’m leaving her weeks before she is due to go on holiday alone – but I need to lay on the beach and get away.
She still has her old house – though it is being renovated – so I told her to go back there. She keeps crying, saying that she wants us to be togehter and wants us to be a family. But my son has told me he is fed up with her being here and misses it being just me and him – and I miss the old times too. I am not prepared to upset my son, or move (he likes this house so do I) just for her when she has her own place. (There is not enough room for my son & baby).
She asked me the other night if we’d ever be a family & told her I hoped so in the future. She is very upset.about my holiday and has now said that she will be going away with her parents when our baby is a couple of months old. I assummed we’d go on holdiay as a family & guess she is being a b$$ch becos of my holiday when she is pregnant.
She has started to annoy me by talking to male friends online – I know she is doing this to annoy me – but I know she loves me & wouldn’t do anything.
Why can’t she understand that right now i have other priorities? She said to me the other day that all she wants is a family which I can’t give her – I didn’t know what to say so she took it she was right. I rearranged the holdiay so I could accompany her to the scan & obstetrician (she needs a late scan due to possible complications) but she has told me she doesn’t want me there if I can;t stay with her the next week. She also has started saying that she doesn’t want me at the birth if I can’t cancel my holdiay… she is ridiculous.
I want to commit but can’t right now. How do I calm her down and stop her from keeping on getting the hump?

I may soon be caring for my 4½-month-old grand daughter while her parents work. If we do that, I would like to get a car seat for my car, so we don’t have to keep switching it in and out all the time. I know next to nothing about car seats! We weren’t required to use them with my kids.
I want to know how old she she should be before we go from rear facing to forward facing. I hope to get a convertible model that can do both, and will not have to be replaced too soon. I would appreciate recommendations for ones that would be easy for an uncoordinated grandma with back problems to deal with and use. I doubt that it matters, but I have a PT Cruiser with leather seats.
I know the safest location is the middle of the back seat, but that is about all I know. I welcome any and all tips from parents who are familiar with car seats. Thanks so much!

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno’s damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesque on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother’s wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast…because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.
*A story I read a few minutes ago. I am unsure who wrote it, but it is nice.

My girls are 16 months and are going to be using the “real bathtub”. They have been using the infant tub since it adjusted in size but now they have outgrown it. I am a nervous wreck over haiving them in the big tub. I worry about everything. Someone told me there was a bathtub seat I could use or a specific mat I could put down. I have looked and havent seen any.
Just wondering on what other mom/dads do? Any tips, ideas or advice is greatly appreciated.
