Someone on another board posted this link.

It's about Dr. Laura saying that all women should be SAHMs until the child is at least 3 years old.

Whether we're talking about working or staying at home, I can't quite wrap my head around what is going on inside the brains of people that apply the phrase "all women should".

Do you think militants are actually serious, or just trying to get a rise out of others?

My c-section was unplanned but medically necessary. It was not considered an emergency c-section.

Neither my dr nor the hospital considered my c-section an emergency c-section. Their definition would be the relevant one for me.

I"m sorry you had to have a knee replacement. My mil just had one a few weeks ago, and it was a bear.

As it should, I'm not sure that wouldn't cause me concern, but I'm very glad that everything worked out well in the end for you and your child.

I'm just glad I didn't need to be concerned.

I'm sorry you had an emergency situation, but glad that it all worked out fine.
