Yeah. I think that we can all agree that certain aspects of our personality cause us to interact and react to other people in certain ways, in certain patterns that can probably be improved.

Molly

Right.

Cristen

So whether your path to improvement is the Enneagram Personality Test or just finding out what kind of cocktail you are and going from there, we’re all for that here at mom stuff.

Molly

Yeah. We’re all about exploring the inner mind.

Molly

5′s if you can bear to leave your interior thought world.

Cristen

Yes. Because 3′s, we need to get together in a collective unit to take over the world.

5′s, we’re just gonna kind of stay with our own thoughts. Speaking of thoughts, we shall now read the thoughts of our listeners who have all ready written us. The e-mail address is momstuff@howstuffworks.comg. I shall start with an e-mail from Isabel. Isabel and I share the same birthday, by the way. She wrote a little story about how her birthday came to be and it relates to our can you get pregnant on your period podcast. You talked about how even when women get pregnant sometimes they have spotting a week or so afterwards and they’re under the impression that they are menstruating. They think that they are in the clear pregnancy wise. It made me think of when my mom got pregnant with me. She and my father had been trying for a while to get pregnant and they finally got a positive at home test.

A week or so later, my mom got her period during work, so she called my dad. That night she was out with her friends and they were drinking and since she wasn’t preggers she did shots with them. It was for that reason as well, that later in the week she cleaned the apartment with some, for lack of a better term, anti-pregnant women stuff that would cause birth defects. All was good for a few more weeks, but my mom still felt weird. She got a test done at the hospital and she was indeed pregnant. She was tested and tracked for the first six months of her pregnancy with me and didn’t tell anyone, even her mom, she was expecting just in case the test showed up that something was wrong with me. Well, there wasn’t anything wrong. I’m 15 now and so even if things go wrong in the first few weeks of a pregnancy, you can still turn out just fine and have a perfectly wonderful birthday.
