That's the problem - a lot of people forget that "healthy mama and healthy baby are the ultimate goal." I had a C-section and I now want to be the poster child for epidurals and I literally sent thank you notes to the L&D ward (I delivered at Weill Cornell in NYC) both on Thanksgiving following my son's birth and his…

While that may be one part of it, it is now used as a call to action, to join in "tikkun olam" or repairing the world. The broken glass reminds us that even at the time of our greatest joy we must think about the injustices of the world and strive to help.

I've said it before and I'll shout it from the rooftops: My epidural was like every piece of fried food I'd ever eaten and every orgasm I'd ever had, in one fell swoop. It was glorious.

So sorry for your loss. I am sure the folks entrusted to carry her to her final resting place were gentle and caring.

I've had a number of surgeries, most recently a C-section. Everything was fine. Generally speaking, doctors will not let people go in for surgery, if they think they won't live through it. (Really. I'm not being snarky.) I have no strategies for how to move past these fears, but I hope you will find someone who can…

You just need to be careful with their plus sizes. Most are, for instance, more 18 than 18W - I feel they're all a little on the small side. But the descriptions say that under "size and fit" so I just trust the other folks who've rented the dress.

I think it really depends on the dress. I bought a ballgown with a sequined lace bodice and a tulle skirt and off-the-shoulder top - in dark teal. Dark teal! (Totally gorgeous Tadashi Shoji. So different!) But I can't wear that again if I'm with all the same people. Maybe if you're talking about a more conservative…

I love to see people critiquing a man's outfit. Awesome.

And now Mariah is behind him.

It looks like poop! How is this okay?!

Congratulations!!!

I love Nina Simone and this song especially. Thank you so much for posting it.

I went to listen to the song on iTunes and read the reviews and could not believe how people were saying "why would she write this song, it's not like music shames fat women!"

According to "ALS Association's national president, Barbara Newhouse" because of this challenge, in the last few days, donations have surged: "$168,000 online nationally this week so far. Last year, during the same time period, Newhouse said they had raised $14,000."http://boston.cbslocal.com/.../ice-bucket… So, those…

Nope.

Also, if you break up the cauliflower into little popcorn-sized pieces (see where this is going!) and then shake it up with some olive oil and sea salt and roast it - delish!

Thanks for clarifying - I appreciate it!

When I was pregnant with my son I've never felt safer. Suddenly I mattered because I was carrying a future man!

Sorry I'm late to the party, but this one could not be easier to say bad stuff about. There is actually zero way in which this makes sense. This wannabe-tough bitchface girl thinks that parents who can't afford medical care 1) would not have better lives with more access to birth control and 2) are hurt by feminist…

What?
