Comment by leah walz on June 3, 2009 at 1:46pm: I have done the ring over my wrist many times. first time I did it it said girl,boy,girl,boy. but I have boy,girl,boy,boy. All the other time I have done it it changes after I have have had the baby it goes to what it should say. It's still wrong on my last say he should be a girl. Just did it now & it just keeps going..

Comment by ERIN WITTHUN on June 2, 2009 at 11:22am: Tarrah my sister in-law did the same thing but a a needle on a string. My husband only wants one kid and I want at least two maybe three. The needle told me that I will have two a boy and a girl. I have to wait to see what will happen. Right now I focus on just trying to have one. This is my fertile week and I am crabby. I get like this every time. Any suggestions?

Comment by Tarrah Carmon on June 2, 2009 at 10:04am: i know..but my husbands grandmother dangles your ring on a string over your wrist and can tell you the sex of all your kids and how many and stuff (dont know if i trust it...but she was right with our son) but she says we will have only 2 boys...but if i have my way we will add a few more than 2! the only way we would have 2 is if God didnt allow us more...

Comment by Tarrah Carmon on May 29, 2009 at 6:14am: With Gavin he didnt latch on right and it was REALLY hard on me...iv never been more mad at myself which made it worse but i BF for 4 months till he got sick (cant have milk) so the dr. didnt tell me i could cut milk out of my diet and still BF so i dried up (VERY VERY VERY painful since it had fully come in) and Jenn sorry to hear that but atleast you have an amaing outlook on it now! i have OCD (yes diagnosed not joking) so they put me on zoloft which is not just for depression and it helps me control my need to repeat things or to clean till 2 am lol. part of the process to get better is to be open about it...and some ppl dont understand that its a REAL disorder and not just a joke to say when you clean alot....and iv done alot better after having gavin and being able to talk about it

Comment by Jessica Pietruszynski on May 28, 2009 at 6:30pm: I think it is so great that we can talk about PPD now so much more openly. I had it as well and actually went on meds for awhile. I really think it had a lot to do with having complications after the birth of my daughter. When she was 1 week old I was admitted back into the hospital for a blood clot in my leg. Thankfully they did not have to do surgury, but the meds they gave me really wrecked my milk supply and I was never able to get it back, even working for months with a lactation consultant. That was the worst, not being able to breat feed my daughter and I think all of that stress was a contributing factor.

Jenn do you worry about having another baby if it will get worse or you will have the same problems? That is basically was has kept me from trying sooner.

Comment by Jessica Pietruszynski on May 28, 2009 at 6:26pm: Yuck! I found out this week that I have to have my gallbladder out, which means that TTC #2 has to be put off for a few more months! I am disappointed, but I hear gallbladder problems are really bad when you are pg, so I guess it's good to get it taken care of now.
