Oh, hooray, I think I can be a BFF, or at least an F!

I agree with Whozat that on those two breastfeeding questions I answered both A & B, even though I suspect that is against quiz rules.

And when I see a mother breastfeeding, I want to do the right thing, but I’m not always sure what it is. Maybe the new Milk’s Up sign? (Is that going to catch on for reals?)

I asked to keep my placenta, but somehow ended up leaving the hospital without it, sigh. Oh, well, at least I got to see it. I had a BIG baby, and the midwives said the placenta was the size they usually see for triplets. So maybe it wouldn’t have fit in my freezer anyway!

I had a transferred home birth, btw, so I still chose A on that one.

For the biking one, I want to be A but wonder if I’ll be B. (My kid’s 2 right now.)

And for the last question, is there such a group as A? Because I need to join.

And here’s where you might revoke my BFF membership. It’s actually A Baby Story, not A Birth Story. I know because I used to watch it all.the.time until I got into studying natural birth and Hypnobabies and realized it would totally break my hypnobubble of positivity regarding birth. Now I can’t stand it, and I yell at the set if I happen to catch even a glimpse of an episode, so am I allowed back into the fold?

Half and Half, I really enjoy reading your blog while I may not feel that some methods are for me. I love learning about them and even consider them for my family.

I believe you have helped empowered me to breastfeed my son in public without shame {more time to get use too} and I hope other will stumble upon this blog and have the same outcome.

A’s except for the vegetarian stuff, which were B’s. I know it’s healthier, but I like a side of bacon every now and again (step aside, chicken! Throw me the bacon!!! Joking). I admire your vegetarianism.
I thought your Cs were hilarious!!
I wanted my placenta after my c-section but was too chicken to ask. I did bury my other placenta under an oak tree on my parents’ farm though! Too cool!
I love quizzes, too.
too bad we don’t live closer! We could be BFFs till mealtime
:p

lol I love the C answers! Totally made me smile. All A’s. Surprise. Although I did not get my homebirth or the placenta. I was too uneducated to argue the point on either and quite simply too in shock that I was actually, finally pregnant to even focus on it. Oh well. I’d ay next time, but one bundle of joy is more than enough.
Thanks for the quiz. Yep, I enjoy taking them and then seeing how crazy the answers can be just to throw things off.

I just love a good quiz, especially one where my answers get me a new bff. I ALWAYS volunteer to be the one who fills out forms, too.
I got all A’s except for these two:
Co sleeping is only successful for us when one of us sleeps with her. We do it occasionally as the situation warrants, but I have to say that I love being in bed with my man.
The placenta question really hit me in the gut. As a part of my birth plan, I asked to see mine, but I felt like doc took it away before I got the amount of time with it that I wanted, you know, to really explore that phenomenal organ that linked me to my baby all those months. If we have another child, I will ask to keep it.

@Gina – I actually had you in mind when I wrote the answer for b for co-sleeping!

I LOVE a good quiz, too!! Haha, I thought I was the only one who enjoys paperwork & filling things out. LOL

I got mostly A’s & a few B’s.

#7, about being a vegitarian, I don’t eat red meat but I do eat fish & poultry. #9, bike riding, I would let my eight year old ride around our street but not the whole neighborhood. #10 was B. #12 was A & B, but mostly A.

Thanks for this fun quiz!!
