What I want to know is, where were these parents? How stupid were they? I mean, they have to be pretty damn stupid and messed up to send this girl into this situation.

That's because the assholes that are defending Weberman (the ultimate asshole) are coming up with asshole-ish legal defenses. See: Every lawyer defending a rapist, ever.

I really dislike Deborah Feldman's book. What bothers me is that she, personally, had a sucky borderline-abusive situation. And then she extrapolates that every woman in that community had the same exact situation.

I also had my pregnancy then, and I remember begging my OB/Gyn for relief, ANY relief, and he said "there's nothing". Maybe these days OBs are more likely to give out meds?

Did you take any medication with the first baby? My second pregnancy was an absolute breeze. Not ONE IOTA of morning sickness AT ALL after a first with HG, but the third one gave me a lot of nausea that I treated successfully with Zofran.

My HG only lasted eight weeks, so I have no idea how you managed. NONE. My husband's "smell" (not BO, just the way he smelled naturally with unscented deoderant. It's weird how you start to notice that people have their own unique smell) made me throw up.

I had it when I was a PhD student as well, so it's just probably your PI. And your classes. Nothing to do with the baby. :-)

I had it with my first pregnancy, and THEN this thing called Zofran was invented, and it came in dissolving pills, and the WORLD BECAME BEAUTIFUL AGAIN.

I had it. And was hospitalized. And no, you can't even work. You can barely lift yourself off the pillow, that's how sick you feel.

Revlon Colorstay lipsticks are a gift from GOD.

Is it 2011? I'm pretty sure this "shocking" news happened about a year or two ago.

If there's a physical deformity with the baby that will require extra care at birth, they can see that at the ultrasound.

I think it's cruel to decide who's "sincere".

It's a very personal and VERY GODDAMN DIFFICULT decision to make.

She's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. If she doesn't have him on the campaign trail, she's an absentee mother. If she does, she's clearly parading him around for votes.

Welllll. . . Not to be THAT person.

Can I just say, attack Sarah Palin for her policies, but can we not attack her for the implication that she's a bad mother?

Thank you, but he's seven, and can barely read, let alone write.

Do you have kids? Do you have a job?

hope that makes sense
