All this miscarriage talk practically gave me a panic attack, plus I’ve had a bit of spotting on and off for the past week, so I called my midwife and she had an opening so I ran over there an hour ago. All is well, baby is moving and shaking in there! Read more

All is well! Baby is squirming away in there! Read more

I can’t even imagine! I’m so thankful there are midwives now, I still remember my mother’s horror stories from her labor with my brother when she had an awful doctor. I just got back from my appointment and everything is fine and my midwife even gave me a hug and let me know I am not crazy and my worries about feeling… Read more

Your statement is perfect! I got a lot of “At least you know you can get pregnant” and “It was meant to be/it’s an angel baby with God now.” I’m not religious so that last one creeped me out, even though I know it came with good intentions! Read more

Holy shit. First of all, I am so sorry for your loss, I can’t even begin to comprehend that. Second, it is amazing how callous and fucking bizarre people can be. I got a few, “Well at least you know you can get pregnant” comments and I was just like what? Read more

This does not even surprise me. The only sports bra I’ve ever found that works for these ginormous jugs is ridiculous! It might as well be made of molded metal (it’s actually quite comfortable but I’m pretty sure it could stand on its own.) Read more

Seriously, a Xanax and a glass of wine would do me good right about now. Read more

12 and half weeks and I’ve sort of spotted twice (TMI, it’s just when I wipe and not red blood) and once was this morning. Reading all this stuff about miscarriage had me calling my midwife and I’m headed in for a quick check at 2:45. Congrats on your current pregnancy!!! I told my husband he could tell his mother,… Read more

LOL, probably. Read more

It also makes it harder to find out if what you are going through in your first trimester is normal. I had some spotting and was certain I was miscarrying at that exact moment. I talked to my midwife and she said oh, like 30% of women spot, half of them spot through their entire pregnancy. Would have been good to know… Read more

No, but I think everyone was hoping Pizzolatto might at least try after all the criticism about it he got last year. Though I’m guessing in his mind he thinks he did try. Read more

I was flipping out about the shotgun. WHY WOULD YOU TAKE A SHOTGUN?!?! Read more

That makes sense. This season was definitely lacking the obvious creep factor, the bird mask was cool for about 10 seconds until it led absolutely nowhere and Caspere was definitely not a compelling “victim.” I can’t really figure out what the hell Pizzolatto was going for here but it’s a stinker. Read more

Thank you! I’m sorry for your loss. It’s amazing how many women you find have gone through this once you start talking about it. Any chance to get it more out in the open is probably a good thing. I have my 12 week ultrasound tomorrow and I’m a basket case but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Read more

I actually preferred this atmosphere, it’s just too bad the story was complete shit. Read more

I thought, in comparison to the rest of the season, that the finale was somewhat better handled but dear Lord that baby ending. Poop. Straight up turds on the screen. God bless Rachel McAdams, the only mildly compelling thing (outside of Colin Farrell’s facial hair) about this show. What was the point of Tim Riggins… Read more

I agree with this and I’m glad more people are discussing miscarriage, mine was devastating and I’m pregnant again and just have a bad feeling about it (though I have a bad feeling about everything so...) I still can’t get over any of this. I have barely told anyone about this pregnancy because what I went through… Read more

My super right-wing brother-in-law said, “Well you can vote for Fiorina if you really want to vote for a woman!” As if my only requirement is wanting someone with a vagina. Thanks bro. Read more

We go the first or second week of May, JetBlue does direct from Boston to STT from December to June (I think, could be a bit longer) and we book months in advance. We actually flew Delta with a connection at JFK this year because we booked late and JetBlue was outrageous, our flights were less than $350 RT. We’ve… Read more

The comments on the Red State piece are GREAT. Definitely worth a read if you need a laugh. Read more
