Hi mermaid 003, and welcome! I am sad to hear about your situation, and being depressed now. I've been there too, and know God was there all along, although it did not feel so good being in the dumps for quite a while. God works in different ways, and i cant even tell what His plan for you is...

No, it is not too long or annoying at all, although we do not always have that much time to stay. But if God is leading you to share that part of your life with Him, who is there to question you... Some experience Him in a sunrise, a sunset, a photograph of a child or a tree. Some have to sing...

There was a vid we saw recently, no, not about pain, but on believing. Some things we may find hard to believe or understand, but are. Thought to put this in the Misc. threads, but it seems right to post here now:

Hi again. As my work is more flexible and i do not need to leave as early as hubby or the children, i should be able to adjust better to early mornings. Recently, i chose to return to bed after hubby left, wc i seldom do for i thought i should be doing as much as i can early to free time later...

Thanks, blanche. I just wonder where those who created the pain index would put the experience of those with relatively painless childbirths... I understand Mcgill's index was a western medical output, but (how to explain) the eastern people and others who have very different experiences w/o...

Shittim, I thought someone would say that=).

Hello, karraster, I think this was part of what the writer, Wessel, i mentioned was telling about. Sometimes even recent translations put 'meaning' or emphasis on where there wasnt in the original languages. And thats why it is so important not to stop studying the original languages for...

Personally, i havent much choice, for which i am thankful! I mean, i do start to check mails early, but know that there are other important things to be done. So after some readings, email replies, listening, etc, i leave the pc to work on other stuff. I hardly check online when outside, like if...

Had this idea some weeks ago, but hadnt been able to post. Anyway, what biases have you learned to correct, or are still working on in your life? You may want to explain or elaborate oh how you overcame or are overcoming still. [Bias is a tendency to lean in a certain direction, often to the...

Thanks for the link, blanche. I looked into it, which gave some insight into some Iranian women's (14) childbirth. That is interesting, but to be more realistic and meaningful/relevant to us, it may help if we had studies from our cultures (and faith) or even case studies that may not be that...

God, have mercy and hear our prayers.

Lord, hear our prayer.

I can feel for what you're going thru. Many in my country go thru these during rainy season. May God hear in His mercy and help in these times of need and protection.

Good to hear from you, Jl, and thanks for sharing. With my firstborn, i did not know abt natural childbirth, and husband making jokes helped lighten the time, i guess! And lessen the fear and stress before birth. I think the word most mothers would use who dealt with the experience is...

Yes, maam. I've talked abt them in the forums many times. There was a thread or 2 where childbirth was talked abt a little too.

Hi blanche, I wasnt sure who i'd reply to w/ few mins., but what i learned was that it is a real personal thing, as doctors who studied and understand it say too. I do know there is some fear for all women at childbirth, but was very blessed to have read abt a woman who studied childbrith after...

Hi blik, I'm not saying it is totally painless from what i experienced, but what i have learned is that the more tense or anxious a person is, the more tense the muscles surrounding the uterus is, which makes the contractions hurt-- and the surrounding organs as well. And it is not actually...

Been listening to this (and other) some days the past weeks, but still cannot sing without copy of lyrics. Here:

Hi blik, Yes, I knew i passed by a title regarding natural childbirth earlier. For one who has experienced this, i would like to encourage esp. younger women who plan to give birth to learn as much as you can, and you won't regret it... of course, also the fathers/husbands who will be helping...
