What is sex like during various stages of pregnancy?

I’m not currently pregnant or planning to be anytime soon, but I think I might have kids… some day. I have tons of questions about pregnancy and raising children, but whenever I really think about pregnancy I inevitably always wonder: what is sex like while you’re pregnant?

Where can we score affordable baby furniture that’s not so… khaki?

My wife and I are doing some pre-baby furniture shopping, in the hopes of avoiding a mega-spree of spending all in one expensive rush. We live in a smallish Manhattan apartment, with no room for a full-size crib, so we are pretty drawn to the idea of a co-sleeper — but why are they so… ugly?

Would you have a homebirth in someone else’s home?

My husband and I might move two hours away into a midwife-free-zone before our baby is born — should we give birth in a kind-of friend’s house?

We’re taking our 3 year old to Bonnaroo: what should we keep in mind?

I love my friends, but can’t handle their parenting: how to bridge the parenting styles chasm?

I have some couple friends who I adore, cannot stand as parents. I still see both of them all the time, but “family hangouts” almost never happen even though they live nearby and all our kids are the same age. Compared to my parenting style, my friends are neurotic and over-controlling with their kids, and it makes me anxious and exhausted. Sometimes they’ll even try to keep MY kids from doing shit I’m totally fine with, just because it makes them nervous.

Where can I find nice clothes for my big baby?

I have always had a hard time finding clothes to fit him right. He has always been in double the age size at least for his age. He’s got amazingly chunky legs and the poor boy has been in sweat pants for such a long time.

Do we really need a designated diaper bag?

DIAPER BAGS: UGH. Am I right? Sure, they come in cute patterns and styles, but in general they’re kind of clumsy and only marketed towards moms — do we REALLY need one in the first place?
