CANCER S U C K S
About Me: Female, 35, Rochester - MN, member since Nov 2006
I have five children. Four girls and boy! He just turned one on July 14, 2008 and was born with jejunal atresia, hypospadias and a few other minor anomalies. My daughters are 16, 14, 11 and 9. I work full time and go to school part time but I secretly long to be a SAH M... [More] ommy. I would love that. Unfortunately, it's not a possibility for us right now. When I was little, all I wanted to be was a Mommy and that hasn't changed.

I nursed my fifth child for 11 months. I felt like I really shorted myself and my daughters by not sticking with it long enough with them. I gave up because of severe engorgement and nipple pain in the first few days after their birth. Due to my son being in the NICU and having intestinal surgery (jejunal atresia), I made myself stick with it because mothers milk and the intense bonding is what he needed most. It is a beautiful thing and if I had it to do all over again I would have made myself stick with it for all of my babies. I am definitely an advocate of nursing now. And very proud of myself for succeeding.

Oops, also forgot that I actually "bear down" to push my cervix further down. Hope this helps!

Yep, any IUD in general. What I do is stand outside of the tub, put one leg up, and dig (: If you know where your cervix ...
