This is so frighteningly accurate it's making me really upset. Read more

Oh geez, I had two of the pairs they have on pre-sale (the 26” opening ones, not the 32”!) and I would wear them with the tightest, tiniest shirts I could find. And a purple, sparkly dog collar. My poor, poor mother. Read more

I’m talking about specific guidelines, like not eating lunch meat. Anyone who says “I don’t eat processed” or “ I avoid chemicals” should be slapped! Read more

Very aware. Heated deli meat is yucky though. Read more

This will help - I was my mom’s biggest baby even though my dad is 5’6” and my stepfather is 6’6”. I was my parent’s only child and my mom had two more with my stepdad who were both born smaller than me and now TOWER over me! Read more

Yeah that’s a little gross, I have a friend who calorie counted her whole pregnancy and it was a little strange to me. At the same time, you really only need an extra 300-500 calories a day for baby so a small weight gain isn’t unexpected if you adhere to that. I should also point out that I’m eating like a fucking… Read more

Thank your good friend progesterone for that! That’s actually how women who do natural family planning/temperature charting know they’ve ovulated (temp spikes for a few days) and then are approaching period time (temp drops and levels off) or are pregnant (temps stay high.) Read more

Not to mention drinking fermented booze because it was all that was safe to drink! Read more

It’s really not that fucked. Some women just don’t gain a lot of weight and a lot of the time it has nothing to do with how their baby turns out. I have a friend who gained 40 lbs. during one pregnancy and 10 during another, babies were both the same size. I’m 24 weeks and have only gained 7 lbs., but I was overweight… Read more

Idiots! All the progesterone swimming around jacks up your internal temperature anyway. I’m still sleeping with the windows open in New England. Read more

That’s the exact one! The god damn deli meat! Meanwhile, I told my mom about the deli meat ban and she cackled “I ate an Italian sub every day of my second and third trimester with you!” Read more

Yup. And there’s the whole crew of “you haven’t gained enough, your baby is going to be too small and jaundiced and wrinkled, blah. Here let me show you Ph.D. I got from WebMD and internet forums.” Read more

On the couch watching Doctor Who, works for me! As an actual preggo now I’m surprised that no one has said anything or tried to touch me yet (thank god), I’m just waiting for it. My rule of thumb is that if you can see the baby crowning it’s okay to ask a woman about her pregnancy. Outside of that it’s just not a… Read more

This pisses me off, mostly because I’ve met you and you don’t look fucking pregnant and I hate people. Also, your Halloween costume was killer. Read more

I’ve heard similar rumblings about Jessica Alba’s Honest Co. diaper service - any ladies with experience there? The diapers are so darn cute! Read more

It’s a very, very populated area, but it was still a ballsy move! Read more

Thanks for ruining my lunch. Read more

This made me sad yesterday. I’m not huge into fashion but he has been such a constant, always showing beautiful, flattering, women’s fashion. I’m sure he’ll land somewhere great I just always thought Lanvin was the perfect home. Read more

Completely anecdotal but my 22 y/o brother texted me to tell me this was happening and he was with friends watching it instead of the Patriot’s game. He was sincerely pumped it was on. Read more

I was saying this to my husband the other day. I don’t call an accountant to fix my toilet, how the fuck is this any different? Read more
