This is so funny because I was at a thrift store today with my 4 year old and we watched the manager go ape shit on a group of unsupervised little kids that were causing mayhem. Even my kid knew that you don’t run through a thrift shop breaking shit. She also knows that museums are a no touching anything place, hell…

Jesus! HG is insane, I’m so sorry for the amount of suffering you went through. I only have problems when I over think having to swallow, then I’ll want to throw up. I feel the same way about it as you do it’s not a selfish choice when the stakes are that high. The cost of zofran is also a huge factor as well. I’m in…

I had severe hyper emesis. I didn’t know I’d have it, just shitty luck. I spent 4 months puking and wishing for death. I had a a home healthcare worker call me every morning so she could log my weight and progress (at my worst I weighed 90 pounds). I had a dietician call me everyday and log what I ate, she also helped…

Here are a few top things about my dad

I lived there for quite some time, I don’t know if its the winters that turn their hearts to stone or maybe the shitty train service, angry bus drivers, oxycontin, or the over usage of the phrase “nah dude” but something turns the adults bad. Stay gold Boston teens, stay gold.

Oh for sure, I mean I do the same thing of wondering if they’re pregnant or am I about to make a huge ass of myself by suggesting! I was a full 7 months along and obviously huuuge when I started averaging out this list in my head. There were still elderly and “hipsters” who gave me seats occasionally. Also I hate…

It’s so true! The mumble stare is a good defense.  

Exactly! Of all the cities I’ve lived in, NYC (Brooklyn in my case) is my favorite. Its an abrupt kind of politeness. As long as you’re not a dick and just adhere to the basic we’re all in this city let’s just try not to be totally shitty, people are usually cool with you. I love it.

Oh I made eye contact for an uncomfortable amount of time with them, like a fun version of “who’s the bigger asshole” chicken or dick chicken as my friends and I call it.

When I was super pregnant and rode the NYC subway I could divide people into about three categories for seat offering.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist!

Exactly! I have a vagina, it’s pushed out a kid, it’s been sexually abused, it’s been through shit. But the day I use that as an excuse to exclude anyone wants to identify with me is the day I stop being a woman and a decent human being. 

So true! He uses his weight to slowly push me to one very small corner, but I’m so engrossed that I don’t notice until finally there’s a very large dog snoring in my ear.

Dude I lucked out. I picked the largest, slowest moving dog and fortunately he’s a great movie cuddler!

I like Shih Tzus, they’re like pugs in my opinion, sweet and under the impression that they’re much larger than they really are. I know that like a lot of little companion breeds they might get separation anxiety, but so did my newest dog and he’s giant. It just took some work and thankfully he mellowed out. Shih…

I worked with dogs for years so sometimes people will ask me about breeds when they’re looking for a new pet. I would always say get a larger mixed breed middle aged dog from the shelter. I can’t tell you many times that turned into a small breed puppy. Somehow small breed = less training and puppy = fun. I have an 8…

The phrase grade two perineal tear just made my teeth clench! Your wife is a badass for sure. It boggles my mind that people who have the power to change these laws for the worse have no empathy for how crazy and dangerous pregnancy can be. Everyone has or knows someone with a crazy pregnancy story. Christ it used to…

That’s so true. The morning sickness, the back pain, hormone shifts that make no sense but suddenly you are crying because Trader Joes has too many trailmix choices (that happened to me before the hyper emesis set in), or the fact that everything won’t stop smelling. Any of these would stop them. I bet 90% would tap…

The last month of pregnancy is AWFUL, I’ve yet to meet a woman who thought it was a cool breeze. You want your body back and if men could experience even a fraction of what goes on during pregnancy abortions would be free and 100% legal. Hang in there you’re almost done!

Yeah I had pretty severe hyper emesis. I lost 15 pounds, had frequent er visits, lived off of one jelly bean a day. I wound up on bed rest for four months, had a home nurse and a zofran pump that I injected into my abdomen daily. My doctor an amazing woman who assured me at every step that it was ok to terminate if I…
