Even animals tend to nurture their offspring. Everything in the world is a pain.Living itself is a pain.Shall we commit suicide?
You need people to live with, that is the basic instinct of gregariousness;also desire to propagate one’s own is a basic instinct, granted by Nature, notwthstanding pseudo scientific researches.I can tell you of n number of my friends who happened to be girls, who ,in youth declared that marriage is a pain in the ass and children still worse, now, 30 years later admit they have money, had sex but yearn now for companionship and children.They can’t get it now.Don’t regret later.That is what Life is all about-face challenges and be happy,do not run away from responsibilities..
‘In hindsight, that time of my life was filled with excitement, fear, laughter, tears, and a lot of uncertainty’

Refreshing read. It shows two contrasting angles of Life;one amidst war,high living and tensions;another so called mundane chores of running a family.
“I realize that my optimism is not going to change the state of the job market, or the economy. I am not blind to the message that unemployment is at a record high and it will be a challenge finding a new job. All forms of media are sending the message loud and clear. Rather than feeling helpless, however, I choose to feel empowered to focus on myself, my family, and finding a new direction in which to take all of us. I feel like I am on the open road again — only this time with a back seat full of kids’ car seats”
What a perspective.Family is not dead!Good news at last. Life has its uncertainties,mysteries, pain,Laughter; be amidst war or ordinary life.It is up to us to enjoy what we have and love what we have right now.
“WORRIES about job security and the cost of raising children are the primary reasons Australian women are now putting off having a child”-Courier mail http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26033922-5016679,00.html
Saddening.Life is meant to lived.What is the point of making money and building up career, if you can not lead a happy married life with children?One must remember our parents have been able to manage with less.Why not us?Reason is we have unnecessary wants and convince ourselves it is essential.Money is essential.but not at the cost of normal family life.Better people realize it before they grow old.
Medically giving birth after 25 yrs by a woman is not easy for her.
“Lisa Snyder, a stay-at-home mom in rural Michigan, says she was doing her neighbors a favor by watching their kids for about 20 to 30 minutes each morning before the school bus arrived.

One by one each morning a different group of kids would arrive at her Middleville, Mich., house to wait with her 7-year-old daughter for the bus’ arrival. Snyder, 35, couldn’t have envisioned that her act of charity could possibly land her in jail.”

Where are we to punish people watching kids?Where is human consideration and gregariousness?Is US heading totalitarian way by not allowing people to express their feelings under the guise of “protecting individual privacy’
If watching kids is a crime, then none should depose as a witness for any criminal offence.Any thoughts?
She has been suffering from excessive lactation and Mastitis,an infection in the breast with soreness,a red patch and feeling of feverishness.
Modern Medicine could not offer her a solution despite various Diet recommendations.
Mastitis was treated with antibiotic and it was cured, not excessive lactation.
Home Therapy of applying Jasmine Flowers on the Breast and applying Cabbage Leaves(well cleaned) has brought immediate relief and she is okay now.
Jasmine has to be applied separately and so is Cabbage leaves.
I have checked medicine sites through Google on Excessive lactation.
Doctors agree to this method.
Some more Tips.
Use dried sage (Salvia officinalis) for reducing milk supply, take 1/4 teaspoon of sage 3x per day for 1-3 days.
You can mix the sage in vegetable juice (for example, V-8), but it won’t mix well into other juices.
You can also mix it into other foods. If you don’t like the taste of sage, try putting it into a tiny piece of sandwich and swallowing it whole – peanut butter or something else a bit sticky seems to work best for holding the sage in place.
Tear off the corner of the sandwich containing the sage (it should be a very small section) and swallow it without chewing (that’s why you need a very small section).
To use sage tea for decreasing milk supply, infuse 1 tablespoon of dried sage in 1 cup of boiling water (or 20g dried sage in 50 ml boiling water).
Steep for 5-15 minutes. Drink 1 cup, 2 – 6 times per day.
You can use a tincture of sage instead: 30-60 drops of tincture, 3-6 times a day.
These herbs are sometimes used by nursing mothers to treat oversupply, or when weaning.
Other herbs should be avoided while nursing due to their potential for harming mom and/or baby. Here are a few herbs that are generally considered to be contraindicated for nursing mothers. This is by no means a complete list.
In order to understand how to stop lactation, it is important to understand how the production of breast milk works.
Basically the breast sense either nipple stimulation or the emptying of the milk glands as a signal to produce more milk, and this signal passes to the brain, causing the release of the hormones that produce more milk.
In other words, by pumping your breasts, you are probably signalling to your body that it needs to keep producing milk. The way to stop lactating is therefore to stop pumping.
If this causes your breast to become engorged and uncomfortable, then you can pump a little. However, you should not pump them dry, as this will be the signal to the body that it is time to produce more milk!
As always the diagnosis and the management of your particular condition will require a physical examination by your personal physician.
Setting up an office visit with your primary care doctor or your OB / GYN doctor is recommended.
The levels of environmental contaminants in a mother’s body decrease during breast-feeding. After a year of lactation, the levels of a number of environmental contaminants in breast milk drop by 15 – 94 per cent, according to a recent study from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. There has been little study into this topic previously.
