<description>&#60;p&#62;- Getting pregnant 5 on the physical level because we got a 1st time surprise but 4 on the mental level because i was 34 and was so worried about my fertility plus a test told me my AMH was low.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Pregnancy 4 it was not a complete breeze but it was pretty low maintenance as pregnancies go. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Birth 3 not excatly what i wanted, went overdue, had to be induced for low fluid, BP and concerns about placenta. Needed an epi but overall it went very well.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- The Newborn stage (0-2 mo) 2 really hard dealing with my husbands PPD, very little sleep and a lot of adjustments but after that first 6 weeks it was all cake. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Breastfeeding 5 total cake for me. sooo lucky. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Nap 4 i always get him to nap but we aren't committed to a schedule and we are WIO not CIO&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Sleep / STTN 4 He slept through the night pretty early on and did pretty well. We co sleep and i love it. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Feeding 5 he has always been a very good eater.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Baby Health 5 SOOOO LUCKY AND HAPPY HERE&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Milestones 4 He is a physical dynamo and now at 11 months he is caught up on the problem solving stuff that he fell a bit behind in at 9 months. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Behavior 4 Teething and separation anxiety can make it tough at times but for the most part he is a very happy and funny baby who loves people and can handle most environments.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Your husband (was he supportive, or stressed you out?) well the first 2 months he would get a 1. he was awful. but after that he became and remains a solid 4. Not perfect but a very wonderful father and husband.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Your Health / Mental Health 3, i am finally getting my weight in order but i have had some issues from neglecting my health including suffering exhaustion, dehydration and many stress related issues. I am working hard to make sure i take care of me too and slow down.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Sibling N/A YET!!!

<description>&#60;p&#62;- Getting pregnant -5?  Had to do IVF and FET.  I did not deal with infertility well.&#60;br /&#62;
 - Pregnancy- 4.  I liked being pregnant, despite the parts that sucked.  I had nausea/heartburn, along with bruised ribs, but I liked it anyway.&#60;br /&#62;
 - Birth- 3.&#60;br /&#62;
 - The Newborn stage (0-2 mo) Month 1 was a 1.5, Month 2 was a 3.&#60;br /&#62;
 - Breastfeeding- DS 5, DD 3 (then.  She's a 5 now).&#60;br /&#62;
 - Nap- 4&#60;br /&#62;
 - Sleep / STTN- 4&#60;br /&#62;
 - Feeding- 4&#60;br /&#62;
 - Baby Health- 4&#60;br /&#62;
 - Milestones- 2.  I feel like they're not hitting them fast enough.  They're fine, I think, but I'm stressing (probably needlessly).&#60;br /&#62;
 - Behavior- DS- 3, DD- 5&#60;br /&#62;
 - Your husband (was he supportive, or stressed you out?)- 10.  He's incredible.&#60;br /&#62;
 - Your Health / Mental Health- 3.  I stress.  About nothing.  I annoy even myself with it.&#60;br /&#62;
 - Siblings (if applicable)- 5.  They're great with each other, now that they  notice that the other is there.

<description>&#60;p&#62;I have two to answer for:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;G first&#60;br /&#62;
- Getting pregnant: 2 He wasn't planned &#38;amp; I was in no position to have a baby&#60;br /&#62;
- Pregnancy: 5 no complications other than getting huge&#60;br /&#62;
- Birth: 2 ended up with an &#34;emergency&#34; cesarean as a result of medical staff poorly handling my early labor.&#60;br /&#62;
- The Newborn stage (0-2 mo): 5 super easy&#60;br /&#62;
- Breastfeeding: n/a I wasn't successful but I also didn't know anything about bf'ing so there was no stress in quitting.&#60;br /&#62;
- Nap: 4 he was sleep trained at 3 months&#60;br /&#62;
- Sleep / STTN: 4 (see above)&#60;br /&#62;
- Feeding: 5 no issues, but he was a happy spitter that never stayed clean! lol&#60;br /&#62;
- Baby Health: 5 no issues&#60;br /&#62;
- Milestones: 5 hit everything early&#60;br /&#62;
- Behavior: 5 he's always been a really great kid&#60;br /&#62;
- Your husband (was he supportive, or stressed you out?): 1 we divorced when G was 2 (well separated &#38;amp; filed anyways)&#60;br /&#62;
- Your Health / Mental Health: 2/3 abusive relationship &#38;amp; I got seriously ill with hyperthyroidism that resulted in a full thyroidectomy just after G's first birthday&#60;br /&#62;
- Siblings (if applicable): none then.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;For P&#60;br /&#62;
- Getting pregnant: 5 got pregnant first try&#60;br /&#62;
- Pregnancy: 3 I battled alot of anxiety &#38;amp; at time really questioned my sanity at &#34;starting over&#34; with G already 7!&#60;br /&#62;
- Birth: 4 It was a really great empowering birth despite my non-emergent transfer to the hospital (our stay thereafter would be rated a 1/2.. it was horrendeous!)&#60;br /&#62;
- The Newborn stage (0-2 mo): 2 P was tongue tie &#38;amp; had numerous protein intolerances... she cried the first 5 months&#60;br /&#62;
- Breastfeeding: 2-5 It was really difficult at first, but we pushed through &#38;amp; it's been great since!&#60;br /&#62;
- Nap: 4 she started napping on her own when ready&#60;br /&#62;
- Sleep / STTN: 4 she still doesn't sttn &#38;amp; we co-bed with a sidecar to promote night nursing&#60;br /&#62;
- Feeding: 3 The pedi really pushed solids before she was ready which caused me ALOT of stress... without that she ate when she was ready &#38;amp; that would rate a 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Baby Health: 5 she's been healthy&#60;br /&#62;
- Milestones: 3 she's been delayed in most things since she's SGA but as long as I remember that that is okay then I rate it a 5... that's just hard to remember. lol&#60;br /&#62;
- Behavior: 5 she's a really good baby/toddler&#60;br /&#62;
- Your husband (was he supportive, or stressed you out?): 2-5 The first 2 months were NOT good... after a shake up things improved &#38;amp; he's amazing!&#60;br /&#62;
- Your Health / Mental Health: 4 I managed really well even in the crying non stop can't eat anything stage! (don't ask how b/c it was a miracle. lol)&#60;br /&#62;
- Siblings (if applicable): G is an AMAZING big brother &#38;amp; P absolutely adores him... he's her favorite person next to my boobs! lol

<description>&#60;p&#62;- Getting pregnant: 2 (miscarriage, then ectopic pregnancy - total of 10 months before getting a sticky baby)&#60;br /&#62;
- Pregnancy: 5 (I loved it - I would consider being a surrogate after I'm done having babies)&#60;br /&#62;
- Birth: 4 (It was pretty easy, but it didn't go 100% as planned - I need an epi and I tore)&#60;br /&#62;
- The Newborn stage (0-2 mo): 4 (I wanted to say 5, but we had some feeding issues)&#60;br /&#62;

- Nap: 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Sleep / STTN: 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Feeding: 5 (besides the initial breast feeding that I covered above)&#60;br /&#62;
- Baby Health: 5 (she had jaundice for a month that wouldn't go away because I wasn't producing enough milk, but that was pretty minor)&#60;br /&#62;
- Milestones: 5 (she's the perfectly average baby - all her measurements are 50% and all her milestones come right when they're supposed to, not early but not late)&#60;br /&#62;
- Behavior: 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Your husband (was he supportive, or stressed you out?): 4 (we disagree on some things but it's not too bad)&#60;br /&#62;
- Your Health / Mental Health: 2/5 (first 3 months it was a 2, I got quite a bit of anxiety. After that it's been perfect)&#60;br /&#62;
- Siblings (if applicable): N/A

<description>&#60;p&#62;I was super blessed with DS but had a hard time getting pregnant with him. With S and this pregnancy, I got pregnant ridiculously easy. I'm answering all for DS, though, since he's the only living kid I have right now.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Getting pregnant 1&#60;br /&#62;
- Pregnancy 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Birth 4 (he was 8 weeks early, though)&#60;br /&#62;
- The Newborn stage (0-2 mo) 4 (some of it was NICU time)&#60;br /&#62;
- Breastfeeding 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Nap 3 It took a while to figure out how to get him to nap&#60;br /&#62;
- Sleep / STTN 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Feeding 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Baby Health 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Milestones 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Behavior 5&#60;br /&#62;
- Your husband (was he supportive, or stressed you out?) 1 (my ex husband...not at all...he was horrible...thank goodness for DS)&#60;br /&#62;
- Your Health / Mental Health 2 (but not cause of DS...cause of my ex)&#60;br /&#62;
- Siblings (if applicable) nope

- Feeding - 4 pretty easy for the most part&#60;br /&#62;
- Baby Health - 5 healthy as a horse. breastfeeding helped some with that&#60;br /&#62;
- Milestones - 5 she's ahead on some, slow on others, balances out to really normal.&#60;br /&#62;
- Behavior - 4 typical toddler stuff, nothing crazy&#60;br /&#62;
- Your husband (was he supportive, or stressed you out?) - 4.5 practically perfect with all this&#60;br /&#62;
