As a union attorney (and pro-choice) this entire thing is making me sick. I suppose it will start state by state, until unions are decimated. What baffles me is the lack of any kind of foresight that the people who voted for these legislatures apparently have. Not to mention the lack of knowledge of history. The very…

And I mean, isn’t this preventable? Like, if you rotate your baby while they sleep? I don’t know, when my kid was zero to 3 months I pretty much had to hold her which may be why her head remained balanced. And yes, those helmets are no biggie. My friend’s baby had to wear one after a surgery. It was cute.

Also, maybe she should pay attention to the kid? She barely pays attention to the 2 year old, but at least she carries him and feeds him lunch. The baby is being raised by nannies, who she is bonding with, instead of her parents, and then they will leave and the baby will be so sad. Maybe I’m hormonal (pregnant) but I…

oohh pizza. I’ve been eating a lot of pizza. You poor thing!

I’m 37, so maybe it is age? I was 34 with the first one. I hope I escape without it. All I want is fruit, mac and cheese, bread, various other pastas, and cookies.

Its my understanding Japanese women eat sushi and sashimi while pregnant. If you talked to a Japanese OB it would be interesting to see what you were told.

I’m pregnant with number 2, 17 weeks, and am terrified I will have complications I didn’t have the first time. Is there a reason they think it happened for you this time around? I’m also old so I’m waiting...

It can lower your milk supply. However, i can tell you I took it a few times (I didn’t get sick much) while nursing and saw no noticeable difference in supply.

How old is your baby? The caffeine thing is what gets me. Its pretty much common knowledge that 200 mg of caffeine a day is ok. And Coke has way less than that. I do not understand why pregnant women are getting looks from caffeine of all things.

So I’m 17 weeks today. I’ve eaten all the soft cheeses that are pastuerized, ham, salami, sushi (low mercury stuff) and 200 mg of caffeine a day. I’ve had hot dogs (I didn’t know they were a no no) and one Tuna sandwich. I had a glass of wine at Christmas, and a glass of champagne on new years that took me 4 hours to…

As a white person I won’t agree with everything you say, but I will agree that in general, anything “white culture” related (outside of any oppressing) is decidedly boring. It’s not interesting.

Technically if he’s an at will employee any reason for termination is acceptable, (so long as its not dicriminatory.) So he has to prove he was terminated based on race. If he can’t, failing to “live the lifestyle” is an ok reason and won’t be deemed wrongful.

Thanks for this. I think the civil war started out with noble intentions. But eventually the “rebels” turned into warring factions of gangs who were all theoretically against Assad, but were all motivated by different things and did their fair share of destroying the country and harming civilians. Hence the thousands…

Hell yes he should. However, from what I can tell, he’s the breadwinner, or at least the one that earns income by having to leave the house. She doesn’t. By virtue of her proximity and the age of the children, she’d likely be primary parent. Believe me, my husband parents equally to me, we both work full time, that is…

Because the drugs used for such purposes (and the ones used to put down animals) are not available because drug companies refuse to allow them to be used for executions.

I am also an always underwear person. I don’t care if you can see panty lines, i know that is verboten, but i can’t imagine walking around with no underwear on. I’d feel so exposed, not to mention many of my pants have seems that are not soft and short rises, like, I don’t want them next to my bits like that. But, I…

So I hate to be judgey about this , but I can’t help it. I have a 3 year old and I’m pregnant and I’m a lawyer. And i do have childcare, but only when I’m at work, and only 1 person. Does she parent those kids at all? Why did she have them? Are her kids not going to be resentful when they realize they were raised like…

So did they have babies? Was there available birth control?

How far into the second trimester did you wait? I can’t remember with my first one when I started the wine a week. I’ve had a taste here and there, but not more than that. I did find that a NA beer also helped the craving, but I just want a glass of really good wine. I also commend you for being vegan. My food…

I’m waiting until I’m a little bit further (I’m 15 weeks) so I can have a glass of wine a week. I want wine so bad. so, so bad.
