I am pregnant with my first child, and in the UK. I will have a year off work on maternity pay. The law here says I can share that leave with my husband. For the first six weeks I/we get 90% of average weekly earnings before tax; after that it drops to £139.38 if your average weekly earnings are higher than £139.38.

I considered it for the baby I’m having in April - and then dropped the idea after the third spluttering-with-laughter reaction from friends I discussed it with.

The fingernails and the sound editing suggest to me that this is actually an undercover PETA propaganda vid.

At 40, I’m pregnant for the first time (the first time I’ve managed to hold on to a pregnancy for long enough for my body to change shape, anyway), and for the first time in my LIFE I’m not caring about letting it all hang out. It’s wonderful - I’d actually go so far as to call it liberating. I’m at a stage where…

I got the flats too! I’ve bought several replacement pairs since. It’d be really good to see this column brought back. (AND MILLIHELEN.)

Not being snarky - what’s actually *nice* from the Body Shop these days? I haven’t shopped there in about twenty years (I kind of grew out of White Musk).

I never, ever want to go camping again ANYWAY. It’s uncomfortable and there’s no bathtub.

I do not say this to excuse anything, but I imagine they’re scared.

That’s got to be a Raspberry Pi in there. Not really much point in using anything else these days, although some makers of this sort of thing seem shy about saying they’re using RetroPie because the Raspberry Pi is so cheap it makes what they’re charging look high. Which is dumb of them, because the case build is so…

An honest-to-god video cassette of Terminator 2. I was 15, he was 17. We groped one another ineffectually on my parents’ couch. Nobody came. He turned out to be gay. And I have just realised that this all happened a horrifying QUARTER OF A CENTURY AGO.

Perfect. Thanks for MAKING ME CRY.

I LIVE for the lotion, but to my everlasting misery, the wash stings my face like crazy.

Exactly what I came here to say. Wooden spoons ftw.

I wonder if that’s a tactic noted from the UK news this week and borrowed from the far left in the UK? Jeremy Corbyn held a rally which attracted some thousands of people; even so, some of his supporters (who are VERY far to the left of the traditional Labour party; I’m not trying to slur anybody by referring to them…

I think Mom is probably more deserving of the hug. I hope she made him clean up the mess.

The reviews of this movie seem to have hit a nerve with a very particular sort of person. It’s...refreshing to see so many of them in the comments here.

I stopped drinking when I started trying to conceive, and never started again once I realised how much better I felt. (I’m part-Chinese - it really doesn’t agree with me.) I’m not militant about it, and I’ll happily have a drink at your wedding or your kid’s christening; sometimes I feel a little sad to be missing…

I think we Asians all look the same to you.
