As an Ohioan who was able to get an abortion in 2014, I just wanted to say since there are so few clinics the “24 hour” wait is a joke. I was almost 7 weeks pregnant when I called the clinic, but the first available appointment for a consultation was 2 weeks out. THEN the first procedure time they offered me was a…

When did they make this rule? It’s been a couple years since I’ve been, but I used to take my purse (full of pads) to NFL games.

He sold the business recently and died last week.

Not to mention harvesting the eggs for IVF is way more involved than harvesting the sperm.

I’ve used meds off label and never had that questioned—not even by the insurance company.

It can be nice to ave a third party even with supportive family members.

Yeah the cost is because testing, pasteurizing, and storing ain’t free.

My understanding is most milk bank donations go to hospitals. My micropreemie twins benefited from donor breast milk when my supply could no longer keep up with their demand.

It’s totally about control. From what I’ve witnessed women with kids and babies stay longer.

My dad used to clean and said women's restrooms are THEWORST.

That's what happens when I multitask.

I had a pretty inexpensive and small wedding, but if I could do it all over again I would elope. It was nice having my family there, but we could have all gotten together later for some sort of celebration. I'm totally not the bridezilla type, but I had a moment when I found out our ceremony musician was hospitalized…

One of the last weddings I attended had a big lag time between the cocktail hour and the dinner service. The edible favors kept me from chewing my arm off.

Undergrad at Hollins is all women, but the grad programs are coed. For my undergrad I attended a very small coed liberal…

Abusive Head Trauma is a risk until age 5.

I live in Columbus. I was 6 weeks pregnant when I called Planned Parenthood last summer. I had to wait almost two weeks for my counseling appointment and then it would have been another week before the procedure, but I got pushy so I was able to get in at the end of the week.

You don't HAVE to listen to the heart beat. They have to offer it up and I think there are like 3 times you have to decline it. Same as looking at the actual ultrasound.

My twins get formula through WIC and my husband's always like why don't you just get it all at once at the beginning of the month? Um because that would take forever. And somehow I always end up with the clerk that has never ever done a WIC transaction before. I did have a store manager tell me recently that my county…

Oh man. "Baker Street" is an absolute rage trigger for me.

Or if you get knocked up accidentally then the baby is a punishment you deserve and you should have thought about how much a baby cost before you spread your legs.
