Word. My lazy tween began as a lazy fetus who rarely moved and couldn't be bothered to kick. Movements are harder to feel for heavy/obese pregnant ladies (like myself & the lady in the article).

I believe that - I know someone who recently had twins (not a surprise, haha) and while she was obviously pregnant, she lost so much weight at the beginning that by the time she delivered she was only like 20 lbs over her starting weight, and the kids were almost 11lbs combined at birth.

Not all babies kick.

I didn't realize I was pregnant until seven months in. I had spotting, which I took for just another annoyance of my irregularly-scheduled period, was overweight, and straight-up did not gain any weight. In fact, I actually *lost* weight, but didn't notice because the kiddo made up for the lost weight, and she was…

It took awhile for the shoe to drop for me... A specialist had told me few months before that my ovarian function was on the low end of normal for my age group. Also, I have polycystic ovaries, so irregular and missed periods since the start. (Fun fact: as a teen I was convinced there had to be some other way to get…

My mom—panicky hypochondriac that she is—only knew she was pregnant with me at like, 34 weeks of pregnancy. After a lifetime of spotty period and chubbiness, she simply assumed she had cancer. (Sane and reasonable assumption.) She called Sloan-Kettering sobbing because her breasts hurt and was then too scared and…

My favorite I didn't know I was pregnant was a skinny Irish lady in a rock band who gained about 5 lbs during the pregnancy that her bandmates attributed to chips and beer. She had always had irregular periods, and spotted occasionally during the pregnancy, so that combined with the lack of weight gain ... she had no…

yeah it happens. There's always people willing to say how it couldn't have happened or the mother must have been lying blah blah. But it does happen. Pregnancy isn't as obvious for everyone, especially when they deal with chronic pain, being overweight etc.

And how many of people have died because of Chemo. I know several myself. Even most cancer doctors will tell you, when they are being honest that Chemo is crap shoot.

As a CT native and a health care professional, this situation disturbs me. My college health care ethics course emphasized autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice as the four key tenets of medical ethics. This case and the behavior of the health care professionals involved doesn't seem to be doing a great…

America: where 17 years old isn't mature enough to be responsible for your own healthcare decisions, but it's plenty mature enough to be held responsible as an adult for murder.

It's a slippery slope when you deny anyone freedom of Choice. Chemo, vaccines, abortions. It is all the same argument. Anyone who says differently is full of shit and a giant hypocrite. And probable don't even realize how much they have been brained washed by big Pharmy. Sheep.

this is a common sentiment shared by A LOT of black people, and considering how there is precedence for this kinda schadenfreude and deliberate destruction of black legacy (back to Jack Johnson, and is the reason a lotta folks still proclaim MJ's innocence despite what side you're on), it's a pretty telling aspect…

Can't argue the disparity in the way the media is covering this especially considering that at the same time 7th Heaven's Steven Collins just recently admitted to molesting underage girls and that's gotten very little media attention. The show even got put back on the air already by at least one channel that I know…

I do raise my eyebrows at "that shouldn't detract from the good he's done" but that argument can be applied to many people a lot of different ways.

*ducks behind protective computer screen*

I always want to say this to men who spout lines like "North American women have nothing to complain about... we're equal now!".

picture this whitey white male congress to jam out to this.
