This is bullshit. I've never been too terribly obsessed with my appearance, though I've always been into health and fitness. That said, I have never in my life had such body issues as I've encountered while pregnant. (I'm 34 weeks today!) A few weeks ago, I broke down sobbing before a friend's wedding because I didn't…

That Gucci bomber isn't really for a baby - more like a small child. It's super cute, too. The clothes she showed that were for an actual babe were more reasonable, though still expensive.

OMG, everyone is always trying to make you eat so much junk! I may be pregnant, but I can still decide what I do and don't want to eat, thanks.

The weird thing is that most of the "you are so big" comments have come from older coworkers who have children and some older strangers.

As a currently pregnant lady, I have to disagree somewhat that we necessarily want to hear compliments on our appearance. If I'm your business associate and you would never normally comment on my personal appearance, I don't need to hear you gush about how cute or beautiful I look. It's weird and uncomfortable.

Yeah, I'm not counting on it happening. As long as she isn't born on 9/11, I'm fine with it. Also, with this heat, I'm not too keen to have her be overdue. 1-2 weeks early and healthy would be just fine with me.

I'm due 9/8/11, and I secretly would kill to have her be born 9/10/11 just for cutesies. But it's a Saturday AND I'm birthing with midwives, so I have no chance of getting induced that day. I just hope my fetus is obedient and she gets the hint to arrive on my choice of days.

I'm having a girl as well! Thursday is my changeover day, so we're 4 days apart. How funny.

Chocolate is a strict necessity, because you need to feel make sure you feel the baby move frequently.

It's definitely irrational, but it would have been a huge weight gain for me anyway, like double the recommended amount. It's probably all for the best for me not to hit that mark. I definitely do not judge women who gain more than the recommended amount or hit whatever milestone weight, because I remember how…

I'm 32 weeks pregnant right now, and I've said the entire pregnancy that I'm fine with whatever I gain so long as I never hit the deuce. My husband is a whole foot taller than me and only weighs 200, so I just can't exceed that number.

Almost every other woman on this show describes the moment she unexpectedly gave birth as feeling a sudden urge to have a bowel movement. That's why so many of them give birth on the toilet. So did this woman just think she was shitting her pants?

Thanks. Fortunately, I live in hippy-drippy Denver and I'm delivering with nurse midwives, so the pressure to medicate probably won't be there. They even offer water births at my hospital, though I'm not going that far. The unit seems like a really woman-positive atmosphere that accepts non-medicated labor and…

I'm pregnant right now, and I've actually gotten way more aggressive advocacy by third parties (both friends and strangers) in favor of drugs. In fact, no one has advocated for natural birth. I'm going to try to go natural, because I've intensely disliked anesthesia in the past; I don't even get novocaine at the…

I don't even think all birthing centers do.

I would have no issue with a description of Tracy's pregnancy that described her experience. As she wrote it, she claims to be describing my experience:

I totally agree. I am mystified why you wouldn't shower every day while 7+ months pregnant. I'm 7 months along right now, and it's no more difficult than normal to shower. In fact, it feels great - better than usual. You have a lot more discharge than normal, and you sweat like crazy. It is quite logical that you…

Thank you! I couldn't agree more.

I think the harm is implied by the fact that it's an unwanted kiss as opposed to an unwanted light touch. I believe that this would actually qualify as sexual assault in some jurisdictions.

You have always been able to press charges against someone for unwanted touching of this nature. On a crowded, moving subway, all riders must accept that a certain amount of incidental touching will occur. Such touching is not intentional and thus not criminal.
