Give me rare or give me chicken.

This is how I feel and I am not even pregnant. I think I’d love to have a child but can I just have it after the 9 months of gestation. I dream about adopting a safely surrendered baby. I also hope that if I do have a terrible pregnancy that my husband will understand my desire not to go through the ordeal again.

I felt just like that. Thanks. I used to tell people I felt like I was invaded by a aliens.

I definitely had some feelings like my body was hijacked. After being pregnant and breastfeeding almost without a break for almost three years (my kids are close in age by choice), I was thrilled to feel like my body was fully my own again and I was free to eat and drink what I pleased—or damn, even exercise without…

I promise you I’m not trolling you when I tell you this, but a fetus releases hormones into mama’s bloodstream that does make her body accommodating to it’s development. So yeah, in an almost literal sense, what you were feeling was correct.

ScaryMommy has been a lifeline for me - one of the few venues it seems where women talk honestly about how much pregnancy can really suck. We need to make it okay for women to not like being pregnant, and to get all the info out there about alllll the weird, gross stuff that can and does happen, and all the weird…

I hate being pregnant. First I had hyperemesis and was in and out of the hospital for months, and then once I could eat again, the nausea remained and with it came heartburn and constipation and all kinds of things they never tell you until you’re actually pregnant and then they’re like “oh yeah, that happens.”

I feel swindled by the Pregnant Goddess image I was sold by a few smug moms.

I’d put a caveat on that—talk therapy with no defined goal and end date is a scam. A good therapist will help you define goals, develop a timeline for meeting them, and frankly will push you out of the nest if things linger to the point where it’s clear they’re not helping.

I lol’d too! But I'm an old...

Man, They both look like sex offenders now.

Don't worry, I had an lol moment over that!

I’ve been out of fucks to give before, but this is the first time I’ve ever been out of bruhs.

The court opinion also noted that Dolezal claimed that the university’s decision to remove some of her artworks from a February 2001 student exhibition was “motivated by a discriminatory purpose to favor African-American students over” her.

THANK YOU. There is a whole iceberg under that tip of a sentence.

Protip, don’t say “BYE, Rachel” to her, because it will only feed her. She’ll hear “Biracial” and think you’re encouraging her.

Race is indeed a construct, but that is very, very far from it being a costume.

I feel like most tasks unrelated to driving are fairly perilous in a Mini on the highway.
