Had this existed when I was a kid, I’m 100% sure my mother would have been among the worst of the mommentaters

The “girls” thing rubbed me the wrong way too. I’m surprised there wasn’t more #empowerment’s in there

Yeah the second thing I told my boss after “I’m pregnant” is “I’m coming back!”

I’d say it became a problem right around the time Caitlyn publicly identified with the community

I do love a man (mostly mine) in Western wear, and the vest can be v sexy.

Yes. Exactly. It may be a choice, it may be circumstance, but it is almost certainly nunya business

This is an extremely helpful description, thank you.

Thank you! :) I hope you find the answer you’re looking for. I was really, truly not sure for a very long time, and there’s no real resources for that. The closest I found was “if you’re not 100% sure, that means you don’t want kids” which never really felt right either. It seemed like everybody felt sure except me...…

Right, like, maybe they’re just built that way? Or they could have a different medical condition? I am pregnant and it’s just starting to become apparent; even then, it’s something I’ll definitely bring up to the people I want to talk about it with. Otherwise it’s really nobody’s business

Thank you! Since I currently don’t feel like total garbage, I’ll look into some exercises

I’m keeping surgery in consideration whenever I’m done having kids. To each their own

 Ugh, that sucks. I’m sorry people are so dumb.

I’m about 4 months pregnant and this is my new thing to worry about (there’s always a thing). If you don’t mind me asking, are you doing treatment for it? Does it help?

I hit 20 weeks on Sunday! I have something in common with Serena Williams!

I get this. I’m rather contrary, particularly when it comes to society’s sexist bullshit expectations of women. I really had to work to separate and discard the influence that had on whether deep down, kids were something I wanted. Spoiler alert - I’m pregnant now; I ultimately decided to go for it.

Whyyyy does her smile remain completely frozen as her eyes react???

Got a graduate degree, then got pregnant, can confirm this is accurate

Oh - trust - I didn’t think you were being anti-baby at all! And I only came around to being ready-ish for this in the past year. It is, in fact, extremely annoying, because I do have a doctorate (I’m a vet), and my productive fucking appears to be a much greater achievement to society at large. I got married in…

I feel you. I’m also (willingly) pregnant and wondering if some of that is self justification? Like convincing yourself it’s the best thing ever because it actually kinda sucks?

Ugh I know. We’re so often hardest on ourselves
