RANT--Sure to **** a few people off

I thought crack was ok as long as it wasn't hairy?

some people like hairy

Hair can be waxed. I think you meant sweaty!

Depends on what trimester I think...I mean after like 30+ weeks you should be good to go...in small incremented doses. But, ask your doctor!

Or maybe all our post should say "take this with a grain of salt"
I"m not an expert, I've never claimed to be and I do not look on this board for any "expert" advice. 
I simple give my thoughts to someone who has asked and get other thoughts in return.
I've always second thought my thoughts when I post because I'm afraid someone will get upset or try to start something.   I've seen it happen a lot in the short time I've been in this forum.  
  
I am the one that said "forumula is just as good as BM"   My thoughts were that I would never want a mother to feel bad or lessor of a mother because she wasn't able to BF.   Formula is a very healthy alternative to BM and no one should feel bad for using it.     Obviously the way I worded it got you all upset and made you vomit.   I'm sorry.     My "thoughts" really weren't meant for you though, I was responding to Shauna. 

I never read your post so I wasn't talking about you.

I think its natrual to come here to look for shared experiences, but everything you read on a message board should always be second guessed. I try to always include a "call your doctor" at the end of any post where I share info that I have been given, even if the info comes from my own doctor.

I agree with you 100% on the BM v. formula thing, I typed about 12 posts to that last BFing post and deleted every single one of them because I found I just could not say want I wanted to say without hurting feelings.

The truth is, it's nice to hear from others that what your doc is saying is the "norm", or to come here and find out what other's took for something so that you can go back to your own doctor armed with alterniatives. BUT you should always consult your own doc before taking anything, even when you aren't pregnant.

Well said!  I don't think anyone has the intention of giving medical advice other than offering their experiences. 

Sorry that anyone was offended.

I agree. I think asking an opinion about a medicine you were already prescribed to take  by your doctor to get an understanding on a persons reactions or personal experience with it is one thing...asking what and which med to take is another. I took Fiorcet while pregnant a few times and it was helpful to ask others that had also taken it while pregnant if they had similar reactions just to help me gauge if what I was experiencing was maybe similar but everyone is so different and what floats my boat and works for me could harm someone else. I cringe to recall all the medical advice and medical information she who shall not be named provided as she let everyone know she was a P.A......

Well I think formula is just as good, but that is my opinion. I tried breastfeeding, it didn't work out for me or Max, for personal reasons and really the only reason I tried was because I felt like I would be a bad mom if I didn't try. I only felt that way because people made me feel that way, same way some people make me feel bad because I dont make Max's baby food. He is growing just fine on formula. I know I made the comment about BF and formula being just as good. Don't know if you are talking about the comment I made in an earlier post. But "oh well", it was just an opinion that she asked for. 

Whatever, it really isn't worth an arguement.
