re: Hospital Bag!

You don't need pads,hospital provides them as well.They will even give youa pack to take home.

I'm at 37 weeks and haven't packed yet-I'm not effaced at all yet and the baby still hasn't dropped-I figure I have plenty of time, right??

My high school was the same way, but here in Idaho they are only allowed to teach abstinence. One teacher did get permission from the board to 'offer' a full sex ed class but the parents had to sign a release form for the kids to take it. There were only about 15 of us that did, and there were over 2000 kids in my school at the time! Needless to say she covered abstinence (because the board made her) and condoms, birth control, pregnancy, STDs and the whole baby thing. I wish that was mandatory. It would get the politicians to stop whining about the teen pregnancy rates.
