I'll let ya know what the wife thinks about child birth in about 7 1/2 months!! Thing is she's looking forward to it, doesn't want an epidural or anything, wants to do it as natural as she can (its our first)

zomg whoever told her that it is TERRIBLE advice. Convince her to get an epidural - she and you won't regret it.

My wife gave birth 8 months ago and was in so much pain even WITH an epidural, that she had to have gas. The beauty is, with female hormones, she had completely forgotten the pain 1 day later.

However, Carolyn actually started crowning just as the epidural top-up was due (hence the plain relief was running out) yet they couldn't administer it as she was too close to the end. Despite that, once he was out, the doctor stitched her up WITHOUT ANY PAIN RELIEF whatsoever - at that point the hormones/pheromones kicked in and she was gold. However her stitches down there were an entirely different story for the next month :)

And yes I can't agree more Rubz - a few hours of medicated pain in birth is nothing compared with 3 weeks of agonizing shoulder pain - or even worse knee pain like Tangles.

And yes, unqualified people should just STFU no matter what. How can Amber think she knows anything about the pain of childbirth if she has never experienced it herself.

Heya Roo,

I know where your coming from, we have had conversations that i also dont need to see the need to mention on here, but i know that your completely justified in your feelings!

I dont know anything about having kids, but im good at waking them up arent i Andrew! lol!

I think any women that avoids having kids because of the associated pain doesnt deserve to be a mother anyway, as any normal women like my wife are happy to endure that sort of pain to bring a new life into the world, its the joy that little life brings that is the important part IMO.

Amber annoys me on more topics than this one, mainly because she is quick to jump on her high horse on any subject when she knows nothing. I mean really, she trys to live her life like characters off sex and the city, that says enough for me, no wonder she cant get a man!

Too right mate. Now she does nohting for me but irritate me ... might switch over to Nova :)

Taking it a bit further, its annoying to see teens becoming mothers. Just have a look at your major shopping centre during the day. 14 and 15yo mothers shopping and bludging, all paid for by the tax payer. Those who want kids can't have them or can't afford it (thanks for the rising costs) and those who are having kids sometimes hardly deserve them, raising them in poor conditions and with lack of care/discipline. And what about this 18yo who left her dead baby on a neighbours driveway? Now, granted, I do not know the full circumstances, so I'll withhold my opinion and not feed her to the wolves ... but on the face of it, how could you not know you're pregnant? The Court will decide, I'll stick to reading it in the papers.

I fear society today are not good parenting material. They'll bitch about "giving birth" and the hard life and still claim the world owes them something ... when it suits them, as it suits them. The baby bonus is no incentive at all for the middle income family to lose one job while having a family, but a great incentive for a teen student to drop out of school. But in the day when the Govt throws you free money for having babies at any age (even early teens) with the baby bonus and support pensions ... it shows the teens who don't want to be in school are actually smarter economists than the Goverment.

Here's a new approach for the Govt: Baby bonus only for those couples/single mothers over the age of 18, who can prove they had a job in the first place? How about increasing the baby bonus rate according to the % loss of income and age? Reward the tax payer, by giving them something back. Don't give free money to bludgers! Centrelink are aware of this ... my mother is a manager within Centrelink and they've been pushing this to the Govt for years. The Govt just hasn't fixed the problem.

Blah ... I'm expanding further on this and derailing the thread topic ...

;)

Amber Petty is narrow minded ... enuf said ;)

IMO it should be over 21. The baby bonus wont cover even half the initial costs of having a baby, but its the deadbeats who go on today tonight saying nah just want the cash, who need a swift kick in the teeth. WTF is society coming to?

I still like the TV ad where her dress is tucked into her undies :banana:

I mean, shes ok looking, i'd do this, would you? :bunny:

If I woke up, and her head was on my arm, just so I wouldn't wake her, I'd chew my own arm off...

Bet she used to work in a bakery. They pushed her face in the dough to make gorilla biscuits ;P

Child birth is a completely different pain to any injury, neither could be compared!

And I wholly agree!

Child birth is painful. Broken bones are painful. Groin injuries are painful. How do they weigh up against each other? They don't. Everyone is an individual to pain also. Those who have experienced excrutiating pain deserve to speak about it, but you still can't compare one to the other.

Those who have never broken their shoulder in 3 places could not understand the intense pain I went thru for 3 weeks and further discomfort pain for the next 2 months after. The same goes for child birth. Amber has no idea what she is crapping on about. :banana:

I agree. Lets break Amber Pettys shoulder in 3 different places!!!!!1one. She can work on the childbirth thing herself. Roflcopter.

-D

I broke my shoulder in February this year and I put up with alot of pain for 3 solid weeks. I only got sleep when I was knocked out by the drugs. I was in pain for 3 weeks, not mere hours

oh man you're lucky you got drugs to cope with it! when i had a soccer injury, broke both my ankles and tore a ligament i was given no drugs! i didn't even get crutches or a wheel chair, i had to literally crawl to the doctors and at home, it was even a challenge to go take a piss! i was suppose to be fully recovered after 2 weeks if i didn't put any pressure on them but it couldn't be helped, i had to take a shit! so i was crawling on my knees for another 2 weeks! but when my sis hurt her ankle she got pain killers and crutches! :banana:

even though giving birth would be painful but isn't it worth baring it knowing you're bringing another life into the world? HARDEN THE FCUK UP!

Amber Petty isn't much better than that Milly girl who was doing the brekkie gig before her. SAFM are now full of ads, repeated music and repeated play lists day in, day out.

+1 for Nova.

Lol Nova is the same, they repeat all day, but at least its good music.

What do you expect to hear from a radio station whose target demographic is 20-30 year old women? As suggested switch to another station or listen to the CD/IPod/MP3.

As for the pain, Yes I am sure it can be painful BUT - over 50% of children are delivered via Caesarean, most/many women have an epidural even for natural births, so I guess there are only a handful (slight exaggeration) of women in Australia who could truly comment. The other fact is that women’s bodies were built to deliver children; it isn’t anything more than the body can cope with. Anatomically the Vagina has very few nerves which makes sense when you consider its function.

God bless the vagina! :(

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
