okay this one may be a bit embarrassing for some but my number one tip for expectant moms is, after a vaginal birth please use the bidet/shower or tub when going for your first few pees, if not then you will feel like someone threw acid on your ladyparts…………..no seriously!!!!

#5…for about a week I couldn’t figure out why he constantly had a wet spot. That’s what I get from coming from a family that only birthed girls until I had a child.

My husband doesn’t like the penis-pointing-down advice – he says he doesn’t know about other guys but for him that would be really uncomfortable!

Add to #5: research “go diaper free” in google and find out how to avoid poopy diapers. Just the poopy ones. Quite easy, quite part time. If you achieve that, you officially can slack at every other new parent role. (And pointing the penis down while pottying him is waaaaay better than pointing it down to prep it to pee in the diaper…and then change it later…and possibly deal with diaper rash from him sitting in that for a few hours. Yes ma’am.) xx Andrea @ GoDiaperFree

Yes! I absolutely agree with what you said about formula. And pointing the penis; our midwife pointed it out after I complained about him constantly soaking everything within ten minutes.

I first read #5. Point the penis down to prevent leaky boy diapers, as “PUT the penis down to preven leaky boy diapers” ie: don’t have sex if you don’t want another baby! Ha,ha.

I thought I couldn’t get pregnant. But that diet that you take drops with. Hcg diet? I was taking that and BAM twins a month after I started taking it. I wasn’t the only one. I heard of many after it happened to me. Maybe try that? lol

OMG you hit the nail on the head with every numbered heading. I had twins a month ago and I was going to do the same as what you did by writing about it. HA! Man, did I have myself fooled. If you think you have time while you are pregnant. NOPE! You are way to miserable to even go to the bathroom, not alone think about what to write. Now, with there being 2 (advanced may I add) 5 month old babies screaming at me to get them this and get them that, and hold me, I barely have time to do anything. I love this site. I wish I would have found it before my surgery. Man, good site!
