I'm also tethered to my Ameda this morning:) For painful nipples I can not sing the praises of a nipple shield enough!

The Pioneer Woman FTW!

Order the strips on Amazon. A ton cheaper. But not until you've been trying for at least 6 months. Also stay the hell away from internet chat boards about TTC. I made the mistake of freaking myself out the first month of trying because my temps weren't rising and the strips weren't detecting anything. I got preggo a…

You just totally described my pregnancy and delivery. I'm 2 weeks post C-section and I don't understand why people are so against them. It was awesome! Barely any bleeding, your vag stays in tact, took Vicodin for a week, and you get to stay in the hospital for 5 days while nurses cater to your every whim. Plus the…

Where were you all 38.5 weeks ago??? I'm so fucked, aren't I?

My GP was just telling me ( after I went to have a suspicious mole removed) he had a guy come in complaining of a cough. X-ray showed giant tumor. Turned out to be Melanoma. In his lung! Never found any contributing moles on his skin. He died from it. On one hand it scares the shit out of me, on the other it makes me…

Carpet is your first problem. No good yoga can come from a carpeted room. YUCK. Get thee to a wood floor studio, and hide a shank in your yoga mat for unfortunate yogi bitches.

I'm having a girl in less than a month and it is so hard to find onesies that aren't hot pink or have kittens, or some other ugly shit on them. Her whole wardrobe is becoming either gray or white because its all I can stand. Also don't get me started on headbands or legwarmers. I donated the ones I got at my shower to…

THIS.

Thank you for mentioning the interview. I have thought his work all season was brilliant and glad to see Matt Weiner defend it.

In high school when my aunt said to me this..."Oh you can marry a black man, but he better be in medical school."

I drink both moderately. I'm due next month. As far as the ultrasound could see, the baby doesn't have flippers. You'll be fine.

I was 29 and thought it would take at least a year. My mother had been telling me since I was 24 that my eggs were rotting, since I started my period at 10. I was actually having discussions with my husband about if we would or wouldn't do fertility treatments. I was knocked up within 3 tries. None of which were…

I'm 8 and a half months pregnant. I've gained about 25lbs and look pretty fucking disfigured. Your boobs, butt, stomach, skin, ankles...everything changes shape and texture. It's bizzare.

The radiation is equivalent from a flight to LA from NYC.

Just having a hysterectomy isn't that bad. My mom had one at 32 for cervical cancer. She loved it. No more periods and rarely any other discharges but no problems with lubrication. BUT the dr also wanted to take the ovaries and she said hell no. Now at 54 she's going through menopause and pissed because she thought…

Maybe it's just me, but when I read stuff like this and then realize she is my age and graduated high school the same year as me I lose all sympathy for her. Wah.... Your parents were emotionally unavailable. My mother was divorced 3 times and moved me around the country following her latest husbands. My father only…

Sounds like 1. and 2. go together:)

Agreed!
