I just read through the entire page and it was very good but since I learn visually, I find videos to be very helpful. I am pleased with what you guys are always coming up with. Keep up the excellent work. I will visit your page daily for some of the latest post. Have you ever considered adding more videos to your webpage to keep the visitors more hooked?

After my prenatal classes I felt a little more brave and finally read through the rest. . . . Then I called my prenatal instructor and told her that I owed her lunch for being the best instructor anyone ever had. Not only did she prepare us for ALL of the things that you mentioned. AND while not downplaying any of it and telling us about her personal experiences with each of her four children, she managed to make it all seam a little less terrifying. She deserves an award!

This condition, usually resulting from severe mental stress, may persist for as long as several months." Actually, I didn't make that up, I looked it up on dictionary.com because suddenly I thought, "Hey, probably I just made that up!" I just like that it's pronounced "fyoog". I actually like "fyoog" better than "fugue" as a word. We should change it up and consistently spell it "fyoog". Some of my books are really sad. Some of them are funny, I think. But I can't judge! I wrote them. You should buy them all and then judge for yourself. ;) I think — but I could be making it up, I do that, and then I believe it to be true regardless — that it’s also a psychology term that means “a pathological amnesiac condition during which one is apparently conscious of one’s actions but has no recollection of them after returning to a normal state.

Like one of those completely intricate, 4-voice contrapuntal compositions written by J.S. Bach, that make music students weep with their complexity? No, not like that at all. More like a fog bank. Perhaps fugue means fog bank, too. That's certainly what those weeks after birth felt like to me. Are your books this funny and close to the bone? Thanks for the steady stream of gut-busting laughter. Keep breaking the blog rules :-) Alzheimers-like **fugue**?

The way you write has me screaming with laughter (but on the inside - I'm at work - I really can't scream with laughter to my computer at work despite the fact that my manager is one gig short of being a stand-up comedian and would totally understand) and i thought - if my brilliant and funny 23-year-old pregnant daughter wrote a blog about being a mom this is probably a lot like how it would come out. Thank you for that. Now I really must get back to work. I will check out the rest of your posts later. When I really need another break. (Comedian manager on holidays at the moment, so I'll be back soon).

It was a perfect birth experience and I don't regret for a minute missing out on points 1 through 3. I highly recommend this birth plan to all. I had a C-section under general anasthetic.
