omg I HATE Fitz. He is the worst character on the show. Followed by Quinn.

She's literally been the stupidest person on the show from the very beginning. As soon as she pulled those scissors from her boyfriend reporter's neck in the first season to let him bleed out all over him & the floor, I was done with her. Just NO.

If you read the whole thread, I explain my position more.

LOL yes. Research to counter anxiety. My midwives fuckin HATED me because I kept asking them for articles & they would point me to, like, Wikipedia or MayoClinic.com and I would look at them blankly with my head cocked to the side and ask them if they had anything else.

Yo, awesome on the return to a size 0! and re: the yoga therapy for abs.

LOL

Yeah, you're probably right.

Yeah, I'm sorry the way I originally posted annoyed you. I didn't compose my response in a very thoughtful way.

nope. the information is totally important. but when the headline says "pregnancy fucks up your bones and muscles," that reads a bit sensationalist to me.

Yeah, and I'm totally on board with providing more places where women can talk about those things & get helpful information. My issue (very bitchily stated) was with the way the actually helpful information contained in the article was narrated. The whole "fucking up your body" thing set me off.

Oh man, so miserable.

I think I had SPD but it wasn't extreme enough to limit working, and my midwives were not so interested in diagnosing it. It would hurt while I walked (and if I walked for more than a quarter mile or so my pelvis would THROB later in the evening starting around 7pm).

yo, the poking fun at WSJ went toooooootally over my head.

Soldier on, comrade.

I'm an academic and I did a lot of fear-reading during my own pregnancy, so I'm totally on board with the need to understand the evolutionary contradictions of human gestation. As I've said in other replies, my issue is with the tone, not the information conveyed.

I'm sorry.

I agree that the effects of pregnancy need to be discussed, and that this article gives some venue for discussion.

I'm with you on the second part, but as for the first part I think we have a slight disagreement about what work this article is doing.

I think I handle my adult emotions ok. But I don't personally find it useful to be told that pregnancy will fuck up my body. I actually do find the information that served as the seed of the article helpful.

If you said that running would "fuck up" my joints and feet, I might classify that as fear mongering.
