But the lady with the mastectomy should feel bad, though, right?

Even though it seems like she really loves her daughter, she deserves a ton of money given the blatant malpractice.

Plus it does matter to you what happens when you give birth. People suck. I hope your day goes whatever way you want it to.

I totally feel the same way. I have so many thoughts on this article. First of all, I have an 8 month old. The comments you are getting won't stop. I get the "oh don't you just love her so much." Um, yes, but um..... I was hugely ambivalent. I wasn't necessarily looking forward to it. And the first month I cried all…

I was so very not thrilled in the hospital after having my son. My entire attitude was "OK, let's get this over with so I can get home and start this whole newborn-having thing." If I'm being totally honest, in the weeks leading up to it I was dreading it because I knew I was going to be consumed by newborn care for a…

Good luck with your upcoming birth! My first two were born a couple days before their due dates; the last one came two days after. I know how eternal these final days feel!

I won't tell you that everything will be peaches and cream, but I will tell you that it's going to be ok. You know your own ambivalence, and…

I was talking to my future MIL about kids and I told her that we may consider adoption (we haven't broached the subject of maybe never having kids yet) and I mentioned that one reason is that I fear childbirth and being pregnant. She told me, "That's not a good enough reason to not have (biological) children." Uh... I…

Yeah I could never get over the whole "your needs no longer matter" bit either. Fuck that. Our needs matter more as a mom than ever before. You want me to be a good parent? then I need support, sleep, some ME time, ect.

Fuck anyone who thinks they know better than you how you should handle your birth experience. So long as you know the risks/rewards of each option, and have a trustworthy medical professional around (midwives included) who knows when to call for more help if needed, you are doing the right thing.

I hope you have an…

I've been in labor and I understood this quite plainly-she went through a traumatic experience that resulted in contractions-immediately afterward (she'd already had two babies so I trust she knew what was up)-and then had a baby. 5 hours is a drop in the bucket. My labor was 6 hours and it felt like 3 minutes for…

Nope. Calling BS on you. Having been 9 months pregnant twice I can attest that running down a mugger and fighting him off when you're that effing uncomfortable is the victory. She deserves the headlines. AND it's likely that event triggered her contractions.

Apparently her original series about tropes in general was already drawing a little attention from sexist sites and blogs, despite being tame feminist critiques, so I'm guessing that nobody suspected the huge mountain of BS that would be unleashed. But apparently her starting a Kickstarter for $6000 (for the current…

Gamers are truly scared of this woman of changing their one hobby forever. It's really sad. All the threats and hate they send her way get her more exposure and make gamers look less and less mature.

I'm sure she did not. Most people assume other people have some sort of morals and intelligence.

To her credit, you could tell me this all was Jeff Koons and I'd believe you.

Kaylee wore it better AND she had Captain Tightpants to escort her.

'Nuff said.

They're tracking births per 1000 members of the population. The rates for girls younger than 15 are so small that the results would be skewed way downward, and would make it a misleading statistic. Also, births for girls younger than that are still tracked - it's just done in a separate category.

16 and pregnant makes me terrified of being a teen mom. Never mind that I'm not a teen, not currently having sex, and am on the pill.
