You're drawing way too binary a line between "dark and tormented" and "good person", for both yourself and guys. Lots of "good people" are kind and caring to their partners and show up at work and struggle with anxiety and depression and grief and pain. I have myself. Lots of the "good guys" you're crossing off have…

I do a variation on this: when I catch a dude staring at me on public transport, I put on my best bitchface and stare back, dead-eyed. 100% of the times I've tried it so far, he drops his gaze and doesn't look back.

I (a childless woman at the time) had a fine experience with IUD insertion. It was kinda pinchy for about 15 seconds and I got mild period-type cramps for 24 hours. That was it. I loved it as contraception and conceived very quickly once I had it removed to try for a baby.

I find that bizarre not least because you are literally fertile the day they yank that sucker out (sometimes before, if you time it right) and it's an easy and quick procedure. I have to think some docs just have 0 experience with IUDs and can't be bothered to learn.

I saw "Guardians" because I like Marvel films; I would have been 0% more likely to buy a ticket if Chris Pratt hadn't lost the weight. I didn't fancy a single person in the Star Trek reboot; I saw it because I like those kinds of films.

I love the image of a heavily pregnant woman flipping a table so much I don't even care why you were doing it.

Yes. When you're pregnant, bursting into tears because You Want The Food And They Won't Give You The Food is entirely understandable. Being pregnant makes you intense about food, man.

Heh, give them a bit of time - hormones pretty much make your brain "BABY BABY BABY BABY" for a while after you give birth - but hopefully if they were cool before, they'll eventually emerge and be cool again. A lot of women lose themselves in motherhood, but a lot don't - they're just (for obvious reasons) less vocal…

Jesus Christ, I would probably have hit them. I'm 28 weeks pregnant with a wanted, planned baby and have had a "good", uncomplicated pregnancy with less issues than many women, but my God, it's still hard, uncomfortable work sometimes.

What's your timeline like? It sounds to me like you're still some way off fertility crunch time, right?

This is going to hurt, okay? I'm sorry in advance. I'm going to say it because I think, longer term, it will help.

Okay, even from that picture small on my screen I can tell that's a CREEPY-ASS DOLL.

YAY WELL DONE YOU!

Truth. I am really excited and happy and love snuggling in Mr. Fox's arms with his hand on my belly... and also wish sometimes I could just have my damn body back already.

Crying when you don't get snacks while pregnant is totes normal. Snacks are a serious fucking business when you're up the spout. I tend to get more "cut a bitch" than tears if I can't eat, but it's the same need. Tell Misterberry to step off and to go get you some damn snacks. Also, start carrying a big handbag,…

Also if it helps: this feeling is totally normal at various stages. I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant with a much-wanted baby after a much-regretted miscarriage, and occasionally I still get "OH MY GOD WE MADE A HUMAN WHY THE FUCK DID WE DO THAT WHY DID I THINK I COULD DO THIS I HAVE TO PUSH THIS THING OUT OH SHIT!"

And to live up to your awesome username, so, go you with the multi-tasking.

Well, I can't help thinking that something was misunderstood at some stage, because the payment thing is completely off-base. If you qualify for NHS treatment, you do not pay, period, other than the standard small charge for prescriptions if you require prescription drugs (and even that is covered for most people with…

....The entire cost of the abortion is covered. The NHS doesn't do partial payments. Where are you getting your information.

Heh, feel free! I am proud :)
