@Bryner Menchavez: Ova are actually created far earlier than that. By the time a female foetus is 8 weeks old, she already has all the eggs she'll ever have in her lifetime.

@PhillyLass: A 1-mo old female foetus in her mother's womb already has all the eggs she'll ever have inside of her.

Oops.

@Meredith Woerner: Wow. Is that, like, a new rule now? Always break up the last book into two? LOL. So I guess we'll be having 4 Mortal Instruments films. Or will it be 7 Mortal Instruments films since the series has now been expanded into 6 books?

@Lamar: I just hearted you.

I sometimes fear that because I barely wear makeup, my daughter will go to the extreme and wear a lot, all the time - the same way I did with my mom. I remember as a child, playing with my mother's make-up, buying Foundation before I was out of high-school and using it liberally. But by the time I was half-way through…

Am I the only one who finds the image for this article HIGH OCTANE NIGHTMARE FUEL?!

@ThoughtExperimenter: The Incredibles does. Helen and her daughter, Vi have a great "You will rise to the occasion" speech that really moved me. Also, Helen and Edna had a lot of non-male centric conversations until the topic shifted back to Bob.

LOL! He hasn't aged well, has he? Well at least he knows she doesn't love him for his looks or his fame.

I'm pretty sure it's Sarah Michelle Prinze, these days... *whistles*

One of the reasons why Europe fares better with maternal mortality is because of the universal health care systems they have in their countries. So OB/GYNs aren't as concerned about making a profit by increasing c-section rates or reducing 'down' time by speeding up a woman's labour. OB-GYNs and midwives work together…

@SeriesofTubes: "Inevitably, there will be births where the baby and/or the mother will die without immediate surgery. If this happens in a hospital, an otherwise healthy mother and infant will almost certainly survive, if not, their chances are much worse. Anyone who tells you that these relatively rare but very…

@SeriesofTubes: 'A c-section, even an unnecessary one, is vanishingly unlikely to kill the mother or the child. '

@Femzoil2: Lying on your back is the absolute worst thing that you could do when in labor: it makes your contractions unbearable (I was doing fine until I got to the hospital), it stalls your labor because you can’t get your body into position to push or bear down.

@SeriesofTubes: But what many people fail to realize is that 'immediate' care in a hospital is not always given... immediately.

@emfish55: Well, Jezebel doing a small write-up or even a Dirt Bag byline on the movie is one way for it to start picking up buzz. It's not being marketed very well but that's hardly the exception where movies starring by POC, especially WOC are concerned. It's fairly progressive that a mainstream movie is being…

This is beautiful. I would have had one done if I could. And I think it's disgraceful that a supposedly feminist site is writing such a body-shaming article. The only WTF in this story is the person that wrote this article. Everyday, women have to fight against harmful body images that lambast them from the…

Hollywood is only responding to its audience. For example, Zoe Saldana's COLOMBIANA, an action movie produced by Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, Liam Nessons' TAKEN) is coming out this year but you would never know that from reading this site. It's a movie being made by a high profile director/writer with a bankable…

LOL! Don't worry. Perineal tears don't happen to everybody: I got lucky with a darling midwife who let me push on all fours and when my body told me too. Most people tear when they are forced to lie on their backs and are ordered to push - either because they are too doped up to feel their own contractions or because…

There are a lot of risks with formula-drinking as well. It wasn't too long ago that a major formula company did a massive recall because there was an incident of bugs found in the milk. Formula-taking also increases the baby's chances of getting allergies, asthma, ear-infections, obesity and some forms of childhood…
