v7- not every discussion has to be or should be wrapped in souful trappings. what wrong with a reasoned discussion? why must everything be drama and emotion?

i watched a few minutes of Dr. Phil on Okrah once. Does that count?

oh and btw V7 STFU-- PP and i were having a reasonable exchange. WTH is your problem?

PP-- i've had no training in risk management so my analytical process is obviously different than yours. You're right though. It's all a matter of how we do the analysis.

strumpett-- i am not going to open the "why" or "why not" vaccinate can of worms. as a parent and someone working in research related to vaccines, I can not endorse your failure to vaccinate.

If the sperm donor would have worn a helmet, this conversation would not be taking place. that's lame. why do you assume this was an unplanned pregnancy?

PP- limited fashion meant that i limited myself to doing what felt comfortable. it's a personal choice. i think that it would and should be left to the woman to understand how she is feeling physically and what her limitations are. i would assume that this gal felt safe and comfortable. accidents happen, even to pregnant women who aren't participating in sports. Sure it's possible she could've fallen but apparently this was familiar oft climbed route for her. i'm not sure that the risk level of that is much different or higher than taking a fall off a bicycle or horse.

arch, come on--what about the meth exception under subsection 646 part xiii?

Hey PP-thanks for answering the question. I think that if you and your wife made a mutual decision to limit the activities that's great. I just don't agree with that approach. After discussing it repeatedly with my doctor, I maintained a very active lifestyle for the first 7 months. I toned it down for the last bit for a variety of reasons. Mainly b/c I was tired. My doctor assured me that any fall was going to hurt me more than the baby during that time. He had more cushioning than I did. My physician was comfortable with me riding my horse in limited fashion, hiking, jogging. I took care of 12 horses every day including moving bales of hay and cleaning stalls. He assured me that the impact from falling off my horse was unlikely to cause problems. He felt that sitting on my ass would be worse for both of us. One of the most painful injuries I've ever had was a broken elbow. I got that walking across a floor. I don't think there's in any point in living too delicately. Women have been having babies for a long time. It's not an illness or injury. I did have some minor non-pregnancy medical issues during my pregnancy. They were relatively minor but I did have to think for two at that point. Challenging to be sure. I had a very easy time being pregnant. I am convinced that being active and going on about my life as usual really helped.

sheeit! i can tell there's a buncha men posting to this thread. have you ever tried to reach the stove while you're preggers? during that last month or so it can be a challenge. men should be serving the women dinner, especially then.

just out of curiosity, to PP and those who think climbing while preggers is inappropriate. where is the line that a woman should draw while pregnant relative to physical activity, particularly hobbies? skiing? jogging? climbing? cycling? lifting things at work? walking the dog? swimming? yoga? knitting? surfing? carrying the groceries?

I would guess that, since his initial post incorrectly characterized the mostly supportive responses on their forum as dissapproving, he's not thrilled. I believe you are incorrect. I did not “characterize” the thread but rather made a general statement regarding the feedback she has been getting. The thread was created as a response to offline negative feedback. The thread itself contains both negative and supportive feedback. Sharpen up! but PP, we still don't know what you think?

PP-- the real question is what is your opinion?

where is mr. fox these days? i was noting his absence the other day.

ahhhh stevie! thanks so much. there were so many gifts from so many wonderful people that i got confused. ken schram is a pompous dork. i'd probably agree with some of his commentary if he didn't come off like mayor nickels with a stick up his bum.

hmmm...punching you in the eye would be funny. lame, ass fucking humor, is not. there is nothing funny about ken schram and ass fucking. really, there isn't

oly, may i have another bitch slap? i used the one you gave me for christmas.

Dude...keep it down in here. kevbone, are you REALLY so immature that you've got edit every post like this? inane.

i can't type that much. i'm too sore from falling too many times.

whoa--you lapped 3 times? damn!

listen, you could do us all a favor and follow barry's lead. when you're old and saggy get it nipped and tucked. it's the thoughtful thing to do.

No not a groupie, but i think you fit the profile,im a mounitan climber..................I climb with the big dogs. not a groupie but maybe a wannabe

i know but i just don't car for TAY

we've got plenty of snow out there. i know you've been skiing. i saw you!
