Best of luck to you with your remaining pregnancy/delivery. I have this fear that when my stillbirth comes up in conversation with pregnant women that I’m scaring them somehow. What happened to me is super rare.

Too right. And wtf is wrong in your brain that this poor dude reads as “appealing sexual partner” for you?

You’re wrong to assume that there is a significant overlap between “Anthropologie shoppers” and “hardware store shoppers”.

My first child was still born last year and I’m turning 32 in a few months. I worry I’ll only have enough left in me biologically for one more pregnancy/child. From everything I see having 2 is so much more taxing than 1 and I’m not getting any younger, but is having an only child a bad idea? No one’s kidding when

Kind of off-topic but I had TERRIBLE sciatic nerve pain when I was pregnant too. It was so bad I could barely walk. I finally decided to try acupuncture and cupping as my last ditch effort to ease the pain. After 2 sessions, I could really feel a difference. It might not work for everyone but it might be worth a try!

And Emma Thompson:

He was so wonderful in this- he played the older admirer so well, with this kind of melancholy grace, admiring her youth and loveliness without being creepy. I found it very touching.

It's widespread by definition.

Like 3 weeks ago I really wanted a cheeseburger so we got cheeseburgers and mine was inexplicably PINK (my husband and friend also were having burgers and theirs were fully cooked - mine was just super under-done). I pointed it out to our server and she acted so annoyed, and I just ordered myself some fries because

It’s been more than 4 years since I was pregnant and I can remember with crystal fucking clarity the weeks on end were I couldn’t eat until 8pm (due to *morning sickness* HA) and even then all I could safely consume was buttery, sour creamy, soft, warm mashed potatoes. This study can go fuck itself.

AMEN! I am 35 weeks right now and if someone had told me to lay off the potatoes back when I was puking 3-4 times a day I would have hit them. They can all suck my engorged left tit. As for the preggo sciatica, I was never very “crunchy” BUT regular visits to the chiropractor and massage therapy really cleared that

Babygirl, eat ALL the potatoes. You earned ‘em.

Here, I think you need these to feel better

I don’t give no shits anymore. I’m 15 weeks, and I’m eating potatoes, medium steak, and all the deli meat I can handle. No more controlling ME, medical studies!

In another post I just ranted about all the deprivations I had while pregnant (we are trying again and I am SO NOT EXCITED to be back on the no-anything fun bandwagon). Your post just reminded me of the well-done meat. I had forgotten that one. Such b.s. Now you can have your hamburger & fries WELL DONE with NO FRIES.

As a pregnant woman, can I just say that I am so goddamn sick of seeing a new study every week telling me I’m doing something wrong? This is my first pregnancy and it is scary enough without some dude in a lab discovering that I may already be a terrible mother because I ate a fucking potato for dinner.

*flips table*

Okay, first: Kudos to the teacher who didn’t attribute the child’s exhaustion to laziness or disrespect. I know that should be a given, but many signs of abuse and neglect are blamed on the child.

Only seven years? Bullshit.
