I needed the straight dope. And I needed clothes that fit! (thank you a million times over for the maternity-ware!). Most of all, I appreciate your advice both pre and post baby, to buy clothes that fit your body, whatever it looks like. I forget that, a LOT!Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10202020139061032685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13519734.post-85021148270804279672009-04-09T09:06:00.000-05:002009-04-09T09:06:00.000-05:00I support full (solicited) honesty.

And while I think there are a lot of things you just can't understand until you experience them, at least having the words echoing in the back of your head can be helpful. Isolation, loneliness and fear are the biggest problems many new moms face, so any way you can show them they're not alone is a charitable act. And come on, guys, chicks don't scare that easy!Memphisotanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570015395806348343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13519734.post-31313982380881912202009-04-09T07:40:00.000-05:002009-04-09T07:40:00.000-05:00Lying to new mothers won't make their hips any sma...Lying to new mothers won't make their hips any smaller, you know? It will just make them feel like everyone else had a different, better, easier experience.

They had a baby, not a nervous breakdown (well, in most cases those are separate issues). Besides, you know the person you are talking to, and you know what they want to know and what they want to REALLY know. Although, I must say that after having a baby I no longer care who I discuss my body with. All the mystery is gone :)cjaxonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754248506849051173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13519734.post-69200450217214108872009-04-08T22:24:00.000-05:002009-04-08T22:24:00.000-05:00i don't know but that new flickr widget is badass....i don't know but that new flickr widget is badass.Stacey Greenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716896540454461639noreply@blogger.com
