Yeah, she had a 1-year old. I'm guessing that was the reason why she didn't notice. Your body is all weird after having a baby (at least mine was) and it messes up cycles. People forget that you can still ovulate without menstruating, and some women experience very mild symptoms.

This lady had a 1 year old. If she was breast feeding (or even if she wasn't) your cycle gets all messed up for the first year after you pop one out. You can still ovulate without menstruating. Plus, right after you have a baby, you are SUPER fertile. Your body is like, "Hey yeah! That was great. Let's do it again!"

That part of the female anatomy STRETCHES, and shrinks back. Especially if you do kegels.

So, hate to be *that* person, but how are you using "naturally" to define the birth?

This is a great piece. I remember being in high school and being informed that being bisexual was just being "greedy" and wanting everyone. It (as well as pan sexual) is not that at all.

I wish that all of the people listening to the anti vaxxers would check off these every time one of their figure heads speaks. They'd find a lot less logic and a lot more fallacy.

why does this look like a prom picture from 2001?

safety requirements for car seats (and all kid and baby stuff) are updated with great frequency. For those of us in the United states and Canada, the government has a ton of lawsregarding this stuff. Plus, as other posters have mentioned, car seats are subjected to extreme temps and Sun while left in cars.

I once helped Eliza Dushku with directions.

I've seen that! It's great!

My husband's nickname for Mike Huckabee is "Huckabitch." So, when I read this headline, I read it as "Mike Huckabitch"

Wha....?

Here's the thing: any time you try to legislate something like this, it is impossible to account for all of the "legitimate" reasons (this, obviously, is a ridiculous concept) why a woman would want/need an abortion. Incest, rape, health concerns, etc often come to mind...but there are too many nuances, too many…

Awesome! I don't know anyone, but I'm sure there are some awesome qualified ladies out there!

I was reading this article when my husband turned to me and said "I love you so much," out of the blue.

This. Especially as a writer. When I was working on my thesis in my MFA program, one of my mentors suggested some major changes to my project. I experienced the following stages:

whenever faced with misogyny, racism, or other hateful speech, I always ask for clarification. That "hilarious" racist joke becomes exponentially less "funny" and way more awkward when the joke teller is asked to clarify why, exactly, the joke is funny.

Any chance you'll be including beauty tips for non cis women? I know some trans ladies starved for funny, honest beauty tips.

I once used super glue to adhere a fake syringe to my chest for my Mrs. Mia Wallace Halloween costume. Oops.

That is the most disgusting sentence I've read all day.
