They’re super easy! We have one with a lid, where the cat walks in through a kitty door, and I feel like that cuts down on smell a bit, but really you just have to stay on top of keeping it clean and you won’t even notice it’s there. We scoop and dispose of poop daily and then once a week do a full change of the…

Yay, Saturday night social! I have a question for the ladies here who have given birth before - would you choose an induction or opt to wait for labor to start naturally, if you had a choice? This is my first pregnancy and I’m 38 weeks along currently. My OB has offered to induce me at 39, or 40 weeks due to my…

I’m so, so sorry about the still birth of your child. That’s so horrible and I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Yeah, that’s a huge factor that gets left out, I think, from a lot of these trend reports - the right person to procreate with! I could have had a kid when I was 25 and married to a man who was very much wrong for me, but I (thank god) wised up, got divorced at 27 and started all over again. I didn’t remarry again…

Also, people are getting married a lot later. My husband and I didn’t get married until we were 33. We’re having our first baby in about two weeks and I’m 35.

Where do you live? I’m 35 and pregnant and in LA, and I’m on the younger end of spectrum as far as the patients at my OB’s office. I’ve never been made to feel weird about my age, other than being offered to take the chromosome tests early on (at like 10 or 11 weeks, if I recall.) It should not be weird to be 36 and…

Sadly, the chiropractor didn’t work for me (something about the baby’s current position is just putting pressure right on the sciatic nerve) but I only have 16 days left! And my OB is willing to induce, if she doesn’t come on time, since I’m in so much pain. So there’s that, at least!

Thanks for the advice! I’ve tried chiropractor so far with no luck, so maybe it’s time for acupuncture!

Maybe, just maybe, I’m a very hormonal 38 week pregnant woman who is a bit touchy about things at this moment, but SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU STUPID STUDY. Like pregnant women need another fucking thing not to have. I haven’t had alcohol, I keep sugar and caffeine to a minimum, I have well done steak, I microwave my damn…

It’s weird because they don’t resemble each other at all physically, but I totally see it. Something about the smile?

I was scrolling quickly and I swear to god I thought that was a picture of Celine Dion.

Monsanto is a terrible company and I don’t like them one bit, but Occam’s razor here - it is SO much more likely that there was a lapse in food safety practices at a chain of restaurants than there was a literal conspiracy that was carried out to sabotage Chipotle’s food supply, nation wide, at a variety of locations,…

Dude, there are degrees of hipsters. Only your lamer hipsters like Chipotle. The cooler ones scoff at Chipotle and get their Mexican food from food trucks. (NOT well known food trucks that have websites or decorations on their trucks or anything, they have to be totally underground and authentic.) As for me, I like…

No worries! There definitely are plenty of people who are happy to see Chipotle tanking, and the media reaction has been pretty intense (I think mostly due to the popularity, success and devoted fans Chipotle has. Everyone loves to watch someone fall from on high, especially the media!) In my own various newsfeeds the…

Oh, I’m not talking about the media reaction, I’m talking about people who literally think all of the Chipotle food borne illness outbreaks, from e.coli to norovirus, were planted/caused by Big Fast Food or pro GMO people. Which is insane.

Now can people stop talking about how Chipotle was a victim of pro GMO and Big Fast Food sabotage please? Because it makes you sound crazy.

Holy cow, I am so sorry you went through that and I’m so sorry for all of the people who were exploited and abused in that housing situation. And thank you for working in the non profit sector, even after all of the horror you’ve seen and experienced first hand. We need more people like you in the world.

Ooh good luck! By the time I’m typing this (12:30 the next day) you may have already had your baby! Hope all went well. :)

Up and walking 15 min later! That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing your experiences. :)

Hey Jezzies! Happy Saturday! :) I feel like I’m just chugging along with the same updates every week, only this time tomorrow I’ll be 37 weeks pregnant instead of 36, and I’ve written a few thousand more words of the novel I’m trying to finish before baby makes her appearance. I am a little bummed because I’ve hit a…
