...an episiotomy, which is often performed as a preventative measure against vaginal tearing during childbirth, or a spontaneous tear. Last year, an article detailing the prevalence of vaginal tears during childbirth and resultant complications like incontinence and prolapse...

Well I am glad everyone came out ok!! The Mother Jones article is terrifying, about how some complications from birth dont show up for years.... prolapse is the scariest health thing i think i’ve ever ready about! that article isn’t about vaginal tears, really at all, not the kind that are related to an episiotomy,…

So, we know now what would have become of Britney if she came of age during social media’s peak...

Yup. I read the same Mother Jones article (and reread it now to check) and episiotomies are not even part of the conversation there. That article is more about whether elective C-sections are right for some women... Episiotomies are usually going to cause more problems, not solve them. 

Episiotomy was once said to be a preventative against those complications but is now known to be medically unnecessary and in many cases more dangerous to a woman’s health. Please consider correcting this article

Wait, where?!

I am also curious, what are the potential health effects of ingesting human ashes? 

Yeah, I was curious and googled his parents. I don’t know why he’s so defensive. Yeah, they’re massively rich, but there is a much better PR answer than this tense deflecting he’s doing. “My dad researched whether companies were corrupt or fudging their numbers. Companies that buy other companies find that…

Literally all I want to know is what was the last question on the board during Kroll’s first turn? WHY didn’t they show that question? Did he freak out about a third question about his parents’ wealth??? At the one minute mark, you can see there is a question underneath the one about Canada, and they just SKIP…

The most noble vegans are vegan because eating meat (and other factory farmed commodities) is absolutely terrible for the environment, and is a leading cause of global warming, which will actually hit poor people in third world countries earlier and harder than any first world country. The most ethical diet is to eat…

Newp.

I get it, I mean, I didn’t want to make that comment, but I love Bruce to the core of my socialist heart, and I hate Billy Joel with the fires of hatred I have for every overly-angsty Long Island boi I dated in college who tried to live life like a Billy Joel song.

So I had to point out, they are very different,…

Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel are two VERY different artists. You may not like either of them, but it’s probably for different reasons. 

Every single one of these is cheaper at my local Target, so thanks for clearing that up for me, I’ll head over after work.

congrats!

Aw, good luck! 

I agree with you they were indeed smitten with each other, but it’s not like his royal-in-exile/basically orphaned life was anywhere near as stable and lush as it would be if he married her. I did wish they had gone further back in the courtship on The Crown. But then, the age difference at that age is a bit creepier,…

Semen analysis has been around since at least the 1700s. 

It was certainly uncomfortable, but it wasn’t as bad for me as the doctor had made it sound. She told me to think about take the rest of the day off, and have someone to drive me home. It was uncomfortable, and I was emotional because it didn’t find anything obviously “wrong” which brought up all sorts of weird…

Doctors might always test the men first, but I don’t think that’s common knowledge outside the fertility community. It surprised a lot of people I told.

I was wondering this myself this morning. I’m currently 9.5 weeks pregnant and a few years younger than Meghan. We tried for 2 years. My husband had to get two semen analyses done (the first was inconclusive), and then I got a hysterograph or something, they shot this dye up my cervix and x-ray-ed it to see if any…
