Oh the injustices that pregnant women can endure on the job — and by “women” I specifically don’t mean the Lean In crowd. Rich women of privilege may need to band together for the “having it all” parade, but some pregnant women can’t even use the bathroom on the job without employer scrutiny, such as Kristi Rifkin. More
Mother-daughter uterus transplants may have already come and gone thanks to the pioneering efforts of modern medicine. But the first lady to ever receive a “donor womb,” not only successfully received one, but she was able to use it to get knocked up! Go science!
We started to do the math. Literally, we began counting the months. If I didn’t want to be about-to-burst, we’d need to wait until at least the summer to start trying. If I wanted to be pregnant but not too pregnant, we’d probably want to conceive around September. If I wanted that piña colada, pregnancy would have to be postponed until after the wedding. More
When I was 17, I was in love with a boy who was my entire world. He was a few years older and enlisted in the military, going off to boot camp and serving in far away places throughout his military career. Meanwhile I finished high school and enrolled in college, trying to continue my life while writing daily letters, awaiting intermittent phone calls and widely spaced visits in person. At the time, I thought that he would eventually get out of the military, return home to me and then we would finally get married and raise a family. I was too young and naive to fully grasp what that plan truly encompassed. More
It may just be the pregnancy hormones making me extra sappy – but I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that it won’t just be me and my little boy anymore.
It’s been two and a half years. We’re a team. I just can’t imagine it not being that way. More
And whilst these fair maids look for love, it would be totally bitching if it showed them getting in catfights over baby names and who ate the last of the Ben and Jerry’s. I can’t even begin to imagine what will be presented to potential suitors during the elimination ceremony (ZOMG BUT THINK OF THE TYPE OF ELIMINATION CEREMONIES THEY COULD HAVE CONSIDERING PREGNANT LADIES HAVE TO PEE CONSTANTLY) but it better be something like a baby rattle or a pregnancy test stick or a beige toned nursing pad. More
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, if you can even call him a doctor, was originally facing eight murder charges for essentially conducting illegal abortions in his Pennsylvania practice. But now Judge Jeffrey Minehart, who is overseeing the grisly case in which women were left to die, has tossed out three charges against Gosnell. And all because the prosecutors reportedly didn’t provide enough evidence that these were “live” babies he was murdering. This already fraught term in the pro-choice vs. pro-life debates just got even messier. More
A new study suggests that pregnant women in poor countries could drastically reduce the risk of stillbirth by sleeping on their sides. If this is true, it seems like it would be sound advice for any pregnant woman. More
I’m a sucker when it comes to a bargain. Seriously. I’m the person that always falls for the two-for-one deals. I almost never need two of whatever it is I am buying, but I still bite. I’m thinking this is why I have just recently begun contemplating eating my placenta after the birth of my next child. The doula I am looking into offers free placenta encapsulation as part of her service. So naturally – I should do it, right? More

And by drink wine, I don’t mean you can chug down an entire bottle but you can have a small glass which is what I am always telling you all. Because I am such a know-it-all and I love telling you pregnant women what to do I love it when science backs me up and I can gloat about how utterly brilliant I am and how all of the advice I give you all is totally excellent.

I didn’t think I could love Drew Barrymore any more. Then she admitted to growing a goatee during pregnancy. More
The horrific case of Dr. Kermit Gosnell of Pennsylvania abusing female patients in desperate need of quick and cheap abortions continues with even more gory details: now a young intern recalling the sound of “screeching” babies born from botched late-term abortions. Ashley Baldwin, then only 15 years old and completely unlicensed, claims that she was illegally giving intravenous medicine, as well as assisting in said abortions. And don’t forget the details of Dr. Gosnell puncturing cervixes and leaving women to die — all amidst cat feces.

I wanted to scream at them “why didn’t you tell me this before???” Over the five years since I was pregnant with my first born, I’ve learned why. There is no set list of universal experiences. One person’s truth might be another person’s bewilderment. Or vomit-inducer. More
In a recent decision, the FDA accepted the return of the drug to help pregnant women formerly known as Bendectin under the new name, Diclegis. Whatever you call it, all the components you need to make it are probably already in your medicine cabinet. More
