I’m due in exactly one month. I knew, relatively, of most of the stuff covered in this because I am an avid researcher / worrier / needed to know EVERYTHING about being pregnant. The birth process is scary to me. I’m starting to feel very uncomfortable. Third trimester is no joke - between heartburn, endless reflux,…

There have been a few Disney times where we wanted Starbucks only because Joffrey’s sucks so bad. Somehow they’ve managed to ruin cold brew, which is a feat. But then the Starbucks lines are SO insane. Then you’re just straight up out of options.

I’ve attempted Gideon’s twice - we never plan it well so usually the virtual queue is closed. I’d love to try these some time but maybe it’ll happen in a few years. By then, perhaps the cult following will have died down.

We went to Festival of the Arts last year. We didn’t plan well for it because the day we were in Epcot, it poured the entire time. Really dampened the festival. There was nowhere to sit and eat, food got wet immediately. We did try some great poutine short ribs in the Canada pavilion, and a few good things from…

Just filed my own claim. I had purchased 4 pairs in 2021 because I was so tired of spotting between periods ruining my other underwear. I never really liked the Thinx stuff - they never fit as well as I thought they should and they always had a weird smell to them. But I’ve got the receipts, so $21 here I come.

The version I read still had the pads in belts!

Really looking forward to this! As a soon-to-be 35 year old with a daughter on the way, this book spoke to me so much when I was a tween. I’m excited to share it with my daughter when she’s older! We’ll probably watch this movie, too.

Oh my god, this just infuriates me and saddens me so much for her. Infertility is one of the worst things I’ve ever been through. What comes so easily for others and is supposed to be one of the most natural things in the world just continues to be out of reach for the infertile among us. This just goes to show that…

Jesus. Good on Nancy for trying to at least enlighten him some. It’s true that most people really don’t think about this stuff until it’s actually happening to them. We are currently expecting a baby and we were flagged for some chromosomal abnormalities. With more extensive testing, everything was found to be okay…

We give out allergy-friendly candy at our house (my husband is allergic to nuts and likes to be as inclusive as he can). That looks like - currently - Hershey bars, Skittles, Starburst, and little coloring books/activity kits. We are expecting our first baby in April - and that baby will very possibly have similar…

I’ve never been so ashamed of my alma mater. Do better, BG.

I’m 34 and pregnant right now. Even now, due to my age, our baby was flagged for a possible chromosomal disorder. Going through some scary testing right now to figure out what’s happening. For women in their 40's and over, I imagine those risks skyrocket and I’m curious if they all did genetic testing beforehand. It’s…

This also just makes me think of “Curvy Wife Guy” from a few years back. He’s still doing his weird schtick and I wonder if there are any skeletons in his closet.

Sign me the hell up.

I’m currently pregnant and work for a non-profit full of women who have had babies. This will be my first. We have no maternity leave policy. Basically it’s - take all your vacation time, take all your PTO time, apply for short term disability so you get 55% pay for a measly 2 weeks... and then FMLA is a thing in…

I remember this game. I remember playing it on the back of a bus, being weirded out but still participating. I remember spin the bottle in the woods. I remember some neighborhood kid antagonizing me on the school bus, sitting too close to me and making me feel his muscles. I was too shy to say no. I remember a guy…

I’m a big fan of Hint water lately. The watermelon is my favorite and I think it has just another flavor. I’m currently pregnant and need to stay hydrated so having one of those kind of makes it more fun. I saw the little Hint “water boxes” the other days for back to school at my grocery store and got excited that…

Wow, this take? Not it. You don’t get to decide who ‘deserves’ children or not based on fucking natural selection. As someone going through infertility right now with no major medical reasons for why it’s not working for us - and would very much like a child biologically if we can, we are doing IUI currently and might…

Man, your comment made me cry. I’m going through infertility treatment currently with my husband. We’re in the IUI stage but IVF is certainly on the table. I’m very, very worried about what our future is going to look like while we try to claw our way to a planned pregnancy. The money, the time, the fucking laws now.…
