Remember that abortion party we told you about? The general reaction to that little shindig was, um, “Appalled!” But, as I’ve never heard of one before, I don’t think it’s an indication of a trend. However, one aspect to the story did inspire another conversation about how much say a man should have in a woman’s decision […]
“Can I touch your belly?” my friend squealed, rushing towards it, hands outstretched. Then she stopped in her tracks. “I mean,” she said, suddenly bashful, “only if it’s okay, of course! Are you letting people?” I am five months pregnant. And I keep reading on the various boards and sites where all of the talk […]
Well, of course, someone had to take some photos of me at a party, wearing my favorite dress (should I just stop wearing the clothes I love to events where there might photos taken?), bulky, lopsided, unfortunately proportioned, and my pregnant beauty bubble, so to awkwardly speak, was popped. Shit. No matter how many times […]
I’m gonna be honest. I’m turning 30 this year and my biological clock is a-tickin’. I want kids in the next 3-5 years, partially because I don’t want to fork over any dough for fertility treatments.

But it was also used for the relief of various symptoms. This includes the symptoms that occur during pregnancy in women. Numerous ancient documents speak of such use of cannabis. Some […]
Gestational surrogacy is the most common type of surrogacy; one which the surrogate is not related to the child she is carrying. Thousands of families have enjoyed success through this type of surrogacy, as they put their unborn child in the safe “belly” of another person. While statistics are hard to find, gestational surrogacy is […]
For thousands of years, massage has been practiced in different parts of the world. It dates back to ancient cultures in Egypt and China where it was believed to have medical benefits. Massage therapy is based on the human instinct to rub an area of our body that hurts. From this principle, it evolved into […]
Liberal guys like me are often kind of squeamish when it comes to talking about abortion. I mean, we support it. We describe ourselves as pro-choice. We share the ridiculous things that asshole Republicans say on Facebook. (Did you hear the one about the masturbating fetus…?) If we’re straight, and we maybe decide to join […]
