I would watch the shit out of that romcom.

I remember *being* in pain, and I remember when it got so bad that all I could do was throw my head back and let out a primal YELL, and words wouldn't come and I couldn't draw a breath... but I don't remember the actual pain, if that makes sense. I remember seeing my baby, at last, at last, and I remember every single

Bigod. Your last two sentences beautifully summed up every horror birth story here. Bravo lady, bravo.

The whole way through my labour I kept repeating this to anyone who would listen. "People do this, and have babies, and have more babies again afterwards, and it works, so I can do this?" Everyone told me stories of how many siblings they had, and assured me that yes indeed women did do this more than once and I would

Oh God. Hats off to you lady. All the cheesy Mother's Day cards in the world aren't enough for that.

Yes but they're not as fun to tell. I want appreciation and sympathy for my 29 hours of active labour due to a cervix that refused to open. I demand it!

Oh my. I think THIS story should win.

Lady if I had my way you would have a medal and a PARADE.

If you are easily grossed out or frightened about birth, threads like these are not for you. (Collective "you" btw, not you in particular) But for women who have given birth, dude these are our war stories. This was the time we were most brave. This was the time we were so incredibly self sacrificing that we put our

(necessary note: it was NOT because I finally "just relaxed" - ugh!)

I had to announce my pregnancy at 8 weeks (extreme morning sickness, had to give a reason for my disappearance) and MAN it tore me up how many people spent four weeks telling me that so many things could go wrong in the first 12 weeks. My baby was so longed for, and so precious, that I was UBER-aware of every single

It's like my eyes are only just being opened now. How can I have been so blind all this time. I looked at my husband properly for the first time this morning only to discover he is actually a cheese sandwich.

MY GOD! IT'S ALL FALLING INTO PLACE!

Well thank goodness for that you guys. I was about to start up a charity for you.

You can't get groceries delivered in the US??? Seriously? I have an iPhone app for my local supermarket. I do my grocery shopping with my thumb, then it turns up the next day in a truck. I thought everywhere had grocery deliveries.

I live in England. People still get milk delivered in glass bottles, it's adorable.

Confabulous: blatant lying while looking amazing.

THAT DASTARD.

Look it's a tricky situation to assess. Bear in mind that I am #teambritneyforever. You were helping someone who slept with her man, so you lose points there. On the other hand, you helped defuse the situation, thus possibly making things better for Brit, so you possibly gain some points back. But then do we think

It's definitely some sort of superpower that you have there. I hope you are using it for good and not evil.
