The day after my birthday...this is what birthday dreams are made of! Not...

No.

I wonder if they are considering a setting update? Who could imagine racial strife in Baltimore today?

Wishing Your DIL a good and safe recovery! Also your rampage would be 1000% justified.

This is the site to vent on. Vent away.

Oh, my goodness. I could gaze at this photo all day long! The stories behind each one of those father-daughter duos, and the moms would be mind blowing. I agree with the other poster, how about some Hollywood stories about black Americans that don’t require us to drive you, serve you or get unnescessarily shot, beat…

Good luck to her! Now that they know, doctors can do amazing things to help.

She had to take it easy. But I think in her first pregnancy (or both) after the miscarriage, she was eventually put on bed rest as a precaution and to get her as close to full term as possible.

I’m so sorry your family is going through this. Good luck to you and yours, and thankfully she’s not at one of these butcher shops. Sending out positivity (aka a unsure believer’s answer to prayers)!

My husband used to say that cheating was the one thing he would never be able to forgive. That if I cheated on him, the relationship would definitely be over no matter what.

Speaking of sixth senses, toward the end of a 5-year run, we had been having tons of trouble. I never suspected she was cheating—until one night I was lying awake in bed. First, I couldn’t stop obsessing over her inability to replace the fucking TP when she used the last of the roll. A half-hour later, I was positive…

This happened with a very good friend of mine. She lost her first child when her cervical plug failed and her cervix dilated (after the child reached a certain weight). AND it was at a Catholic hospital. So, they let her go through basically labor, all while morning the loss of a child. That said, her doctor “helped…

No worries. Vent away. Your story really brings the point home. I hope everything turns out ok for you and your family.

These stories upset me and terrify me. I walked into the hospital fully dialed and contracting at 18 weeks along. The doctors did everything they could do, but it was too late. Everyone knew the baby wouldnt make it, though he was healthy.. I was permitted to wait several hours until my preferred OB came in to the…

Incompetent Cervix. I have one. It’s awful. Good luck to your DIL. I was too late for the stitch the first time, but I have two healthy subsequent daughters. Luckily I was treated at a secular hospital and delivered at 18 weeks before anything serious could happen to my health.

Not on the subject of the article, but regarding your DIL. First, I’m so sorry for her and your family. I know first hand how terrifying incompetent cervix is and how doctors can be complete assholes about treating it.

We are now the first ones mentioned when race issues come up and I have to say it’s better than being ignored and forgotten.

When was the last time you saw a major American news outlet or Jezebel mention Native Americans? It’s seriously disturbing how little people think about them. It’s like Canada in the 50s.

I absolutely agree that it’s weird that Native Americans are ignored here, though I’m not surprised given what the founders of this country did to them.

About frigging time! I can’t get over how much Native Americans are ignored in the U.S. No one ever mentions them when discussing racism, sexism or economic disparity even though they were slaughtered and enslaved long before the Europeans brought anyone else over.
