So, if I buy Lena's book, I shouldn't expect much but at least I'll get my money's worth?

I tease him all the time (he's 10 now) about how he did all his trouble making before he was born. He really has been the easiest, sweetest, and just all around best kid in the world to be gifted with.

I mentioned some of this on another article recently. And this is really more of a full scale pregnancy horror, story, but here goes. So, it took me 3 years to get pregnant with my son. That included the indignity of a plethora of infertility tests and treatments. I ended up getting pregnant while we were on a short…

Denied company, failed epidural, and sent you on a walk after losing a significant amount of blood? Where the fuck was that first delivery? I want to go on a throat punching spree.

Since this literally just happened to me and I'm recovering from a c-section after being discharged yesterday, I'm sort of vicariously excited to see what other people went through.

Man, people are already taking this thread SUPER seriously and negatively. To all I say: chillax. This thread is not meant to stop women from becoming mothers. If you really want to be a mother, nothing in this thread will stop you, and if it does, then you really didn't want to be a mother.

So I went to one of those super hippy birth classes (for TEN weeks) and they were against everything that doctors normally advise. This would include not eating a lot as you're going into labor, or the day you're to be induced (of course they were against that as well). I ended up being induced at 42 weeks because…

Women do usually poop while pushing out a baby, unless you have an enema first. I preferred pooping.

Same.

I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THESE!

Nothing to contribute - childless in my early 20s, bookmarking for future mental birth control.

Soooooo... Anyone have any good product or brand recommendations for microbead free facial cleansers and toothpaste?

Oh, I got this all. the. time. And this was years ago before Tinder and OKCupid.

If you time my bathroom trips, I will optimize productivity by squatting atop your desk as we discuss the TPS reports.

I'm thinking they're the exception. But it's like catcalling, you know? MOST guys don't do it, but when it happens it's disturbing. For me at least.

These are always so surprising to me. I've been on Tinder for a while now and I've never had anything even remotely like this happen. Next time I complain about there being no eligible men in my area I will at least give thanks that they are not super freak creeps like these guys.

This must be what leads parents to develop selective-hearing.

Don't pretend to take the moral high ground....we know bears eat their unwanted cubs.

Mindy Kaling doesn't have to answer to Jezebel, and it makes me so sad that she felt she had to make some sort of dumb formal apology about not talking about abortion on her show. Her show is not a platform for every feminist issue or woman's issue or whatever, it's a sitcom. A hilarious one at that. Can't she just…

I ... I think I'm one of those man-haters now.
