[-]I want to donate my cord blood. Anyone do this yet? How do i find a company to do the collection? My docotor said the hospital doesn't provide someone. It's an outside jub. TIA
4 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]why don't you donate your cord blood to its rightful owner--your baby--at birth? Delay clamping and cutting and let that stem-cell-rich, oxygenated blood improve your baby's hematocrit at birth as it's been shown to do.
[ Reply | Options ]The hospital where we had ours takes donations on an as needed basis. It happened that the day we delivered they weren't in need but we were glad to know that it was available. perhaps on our next go 'round. Otherwise we didn't feel that the cost in the cord blood banks were worth it seeing that our baby wouldn't be able to use his own cord blood anyways.

[-]Last night had birthday dinner with 5 best friends. I am due Dec 24 w first DD so this was the lst birthday w the gals before her arrival. We discussed schools... and everyone at the table, all without children yet, already had their private school picked out! Is this usual amongst women in our city? Personally I have not thought about it yet. But see the feedback and posts here as well as the kids in private education in our City... while I am impressed with the breath of the children's knowledge it seems everyone is angry and a bit messed up. is there a brighter side??

I was in shock... The most interesting thing is that one of the schools mentioned is a very difficult in, but which I was on the design team for a few years back. The women wanting to get in there were already aware my connections were probably not enough (as I reemphasized) and have started making the right connections... again, noone at the table has kids yet.
[ Reply | Options ]Strange friends. They sound nutty and intense. Are any of them in relationships? Are their partners alpha males?
[ Reply | Options ]that's the thing... one is married & a socialite, one is in 7 year-no plans for kids or marriage (of course she didn't have a pick but knew all the schools!) long-term relationship, one is a model who's engaged to be married in the spring, one is mid-thirties and desperately looking for the perfect man to have a life and 4 children with. but, in all of this, they are all very relaxed and easy-going. any partners are equal partners.

[-]My daughter is almost 7 months old and is a great sleeper, however, she always screams and cries before actually falling to sleep. Sometimes it is short like 5-10 minutes other times it could take her 20 minutes before falling to sleep. It doesn't bother me or my husband but I am taking her on an airplane across country and I am already getting myself worked up about it. Anyone have any ideas how to get her to go to sleep without crying every time?

4 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]make sure you have "sort by recency" checked in your preferences box (to the right, at the top). And then pick a night that is busier! Tonight is really really slow.

[-]Hi, I was looking for a stroller and ny mag said this was a really good place to get a pre-owned stroller. I'm looking specifically for a Phil & Ted's and I'm DEPSERATE. I have five children ages 6, 4, 2 turning 3, 18 months and 3 months old. I REALLY NEED THIS STROLLER! If I can't get it for free, I will pay as much as I can (reasonable price, come on, I have FIVE!) This is brooklyngreengirlinlg@yahoo.com and any help will be greatly appreciated!
3 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]I have a good-as-new P&Ts we bought last year when no. 2 arrived but I didn't like it - didn't like baby being cooped up down below. I'd say we have had it out and about not more than 15 times. It is black. We have the second seat, and rain and sun guards, and seat warmer/ liner. We paid $800 for it online. We live in Midtown West. If you would like to make an offer, we would consider! We bought a Maclaren Techno Twin instead and love it. P&Ts just was not for us.

[-]I have cleaning help once a week and she is kind and trustworthy...only I recently noticed that over 3 bottles of liquor (schnopps not hard stuff) have been polished off. There's no one around the house alone but her. how to handle? leave a "get help" note in the cabinet or fire or talk?
12 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]-
I beg to differ that she is trustworthy is she is stealing alcohol from you. I would have to let her go if I was 100% it was her taking it.
[ Reply | Options ]op--I know, I am not 1000% sure. She is so gentle, hardworking and mid 50's--I am wondering if I left a note saying please get help would tha be a kind warning?
[ Reply | Options ]np: No, that would be passive aggressive. I would approach her in a nonconfrtontational way and say you've noticed some missing liquor, does she know anything about it. If she's honest, maybe she'll open up and apologize. If she denies and you don't think it could be anyone else, I would fire her.

schnopps? You mean schnapps? Last time I checked schnapps is as hard stuff as it can be.

[-]My wife has become abhorrent to taking her pre-natal pills. It makes her extremely nauseous because of the high iron content. I read that there are some great shakes that have the essential vitamins, but she is also lactose intolerant. Are there any other suggestions out there that anybody may know. I'm from Austin, so anyone local can give great places to recommend, as well. Thanks everybody.
5 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]For now, the only thing I can suggest is to take folic, the pills are very small and folic is so important to prevent spinal bif. There are some liquid vitamins that may work. Good luck
[ Reply | Options ]The only nausea I ever suffered during pregnancy was due to the prenatal vitamins. I switched to FloraVital (by Salushaus). It's a liquid, herbal & iron supplement that I tolerated very well and kept me and my developing baby very well supplemented. It's available widely, at many better healthfood stores(and Fairway). There's a more widely available product by the same company, called FloraDix; it's identical EXCEPT that it contains yeast, which pregnant women may want to avoid supplementing.
[ Reply | Options ]FloraVital is a liquid, in a bottle; You drink a capful 2X daily, half an hour before eating. I never suffered constipation or nausea. My ob and midwife approved it and my already healthy (for a vegetarian) red cell count elevated incredibly. The energy boost is noticeable and I continued through the nursing years. I still supplement w/it during and following periods.
