I don't get why people still assume it.
Me neither. We kid about Abby a bit of a whoops, since she's only fifteen months younger than Nate, but it wasn't because we didn't know the possibility to get pregnant while I was breastfeeding didn't exist. It was more of the, "Well, it took us over a year to get pregnant with Nate, what's the likelihood of it happening right away this time?"
That sound you heard was Mother Nature laughing her ass off.
Admittedly, I didn't get pregnant while breastfeeding, but about three minutes after I finished weaning Nate.
ION, someone linked to that library last week (SKIPPER!), I think it was Sue.
Oops. I can't click on every link, people!!
no no - it's ita's links you don't click on!
Two fabulous libraries, one cup.
I love the racist undecided voters story.
So many people move past their prejudices when they actually get to know someone of the despised group. It would be interesting to see that effect on a Presidential scale.
The cynical part of me says "They aren't getting past their prejudices because they've gotten to know Obama. They're getting past their prejudices because when somebody knows if it's the blue wire or the red wire to cut when disarming the bomb in the room, you don't give a rat's fuckhole what color they are."
no no - it's ita's links you don't click on!
Or maybe mine. My links are mostly harmless, but every so often there's a hairless cat....
Apparently, according to the blurb on Pop Tarts, Jamie-Lynn assumed she couldn't get preggers while breastfeeding the wee one.
Now that's some serious multitasking.
It is a pretty common assumption. But doesn't everyone know siblings less than (or close to) a year apart?? I don't get why people still assume it.
It's still reasonably effective, if you're exclusively BF and the kid's not on solids yet. I mean, it seriously lowers the chances of a knock up. Your OB/GYN, however, should give the warning that reasonably effective != a sure thing, and offer a progesterone only pill (to be taken at the same exact time every day) or suggest other, non-hormonal methods of control.
Hah! I had a dream last night that one of the bloggers I read had built a huge huge library similar to that, and had invited everyone who read him to come hang out in it, so I was wandering around and around through the many many rooms of this house full of books (it was less ornate, and fancy, but inspired by that library, apparently. In my dream.)
