Shh don't ruin the fantasy!

My thought too- she reads them like a book. I'm not a fan, nor do I find her 'singing' particularly appealing, but she just went up a notch in my estimation. That's a real skill.

GD is usually the assumption, but it does say that they were a big/tall couple? I'm not a big lady (5'7, 125lb pre-pregnancy) but my husband's family are all 6 foot+, and they make big babies- and that's what I had (luckily I had the hips to pull it off!). I didn't have GD (although they always like to check the…

I just had my second 5kg+ baby (son was 12lb, my new little girl was 11lb), both delivered naturally, so while I can't comment on the awfulness of a c-section vs natural labour my experience of pregnancy with these behemoth babies is that it's bloody hard work! By the end of both pregnancies, I was basically a…

I wonder if any other Aussies could comment, but I've had my share of being whistled at and catcalled by idiots driving by in cars, but pretty much never (as far as I can recall) by builders on a building site. I understand from reading Jezebel that that's completely a thing in the US, but in my experience it isn't…

Speaking of editorialised, this whole episode could be a viral marketing stunt for their 'no intimidation' policy.

We call them American cockroaches. I'm not even sure if they are! We do have amazing beaches and lots of cute animals too, I promise. A totally worthwhile holiday destination :) And in all my years I have never had a spider hide in my shoe... although my husband did find a white-tailed spider walking on him one day…

Big is nothing- my 3yo keeps a couple of huntsmen as pets- they are pretty docile! But I suppose the fact that we recently saw a plump redback spider living near our back door capture and wrap up a (much larger) huntsman spider isn't very comforting when it comes to your sense of safety? We killed the redback spider,…

No, hate-filled is our government and majority of the population's attitude towards refugees, if you needed a good reason to not want to come here. Our wildlife is awesome- I used to live in a student area with regular new batches of American neighbours, and it was always such a delight to hear the inevitable…

Yeah. Google Kyle Sandilands, this is nowhere near the worst thing he has come up with. He is a pretty disgusting specimen.

Gold!

The comments on this article are just as vitriolic, disempowering and sexist (from women who profess to be feminist!) as I expected. No wonder the few current/former sex workers commenting here felt the need to create a burner in order to comment.

I don't see how it's not obvious, and it's so remarkable and sad that this is even newsworthy in the US. For example, a woman who has an early miscarriage is often likely to need the *exact same procedures* and some of the exact same drugs that a woman who is having an abortion will need.

Like a bag of pebbles! And mastitis, where a milk duct gets blocked (and sometimes infected) is THE WORST. And this is just the consequences for the mother! What about the poor effing baby?! A high proportion of newborns get stomach upsets, pain and colic from using formula. Before the age of about 3 months, when…

It's also that people get defensive because they frequently made the decision for an essentially indefensible reason ('so he will look like his dad'/religion), rather than a medically and scientifically sound one. My husband never once thought that we should have our son 'done' just because his parents had him done,…

Such a ban will be like the laws that prevent firing of a woman because she's pregnant. Among the people who want to do it, the procedure will take place, as long as no-one says out loud/puts to paper the reason it's happening- that's what will happen in the UK, where sex-selective abortion has been something of a…

It might be true, I think you see it a lot, but it's creepy as hell. The whole apparent potential inbred-ness of it all. My kids ought to thank their lucky stars that I didn't shack up with someone whose facial features resembled rather than complimented mine!

She could be the fourth Jonas Brother. Serious resemblance there.

Cigarettes.

I'm not a violent person at all. But I would very quickly lose all respect for people who engaged in behaviour like that. I very quickly found myself empathising with celebs gesturing rudely/lashing out violently at people like that. And wondering at the level of restraint of celebs like Rihanna. What is wrong with…
