Finally! A Birthing Dress! crows Momlogic.
You no longer have to give birth in an ugly hospital gown. Now you can give birth in an adorable dress!
Makes sense to us — we know the first concern you will have when you’re about to shove an 8-pound human out into the world is how you look when you’re doing it.
Second concern, episiotomy. That, or the fact that you’re going to shit all over the place while you’re pushing.
But first — and most important, let’s face it — do you look cute?
We love Cake Wrecks and all the awesome stuff they have going on over there. We love them even more for reminding us of another indignity of giving birth: the baby shower and those awful theme cakes. (Thanks to EJ for the heads up.)
stfuparents: I can’t figure out if I want to smack this guy across his face OR take him out, get him blind drunk, buy him a lap dance and remind him what it means to be a man. I’m guessing his friends feel the same way.
We at The Best Birth Control of All heartily applaud STFU Parents for their hard work on behalf of all those whose Facebooks are cluttered with boring-as-all-get-out updates about potties and poopies.
Well done.
Seriously, though.
Migraines are linked to a higher risk of stroke, high blood pressure and blood clots in pregnant women, according to a new U.S. study based on data gathered from more than 18 million hospital discharges.
As a migraine sufferer, I applaud this recent study for giving me yet another reason to forego getting pregnant. 15 times the risk? For a screaming bundle of “joy”? No thanks. I’ll pass. Give me some hardcore triptans and a darkened room, and pass the spermicide, please.
We know we should not relish the demise of any family, nor desire that 8 innocent children should have to endure the hardships of a broken home, but this is just too delicious. Jon Gosselin cavorting with coeds? I doubt we will see this on TLC.
Reader Raelynne tipped us off to this disturbing news story, saying “Double the shudders, man — I can barely deal with the ONE uterus I have.”
We’re totally with her. Twins? One from each uterus? What? And they have a 10-month-old? That’s one super fertile woman. If we were her, we’d be sucking down double doses of birth control pills — and using two condoms. Eesh.
Thanks, Raelynne, for sending us the article.
And parents Shane & Sarah? Maybe lay off the sex?

According to the site, Nosefrida is a doctor recommended nasal aspirator that removes mucus from your child’s nose. It was invented in Sweden by Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists, and has been used by Swedish Moms and Dads for years.
According to us, THAT IS FUCKING DISGUSTING.
Post partum depression is real and scary. It could not sadden us more that these “tips” include advice like “don’t worry about being perfect” and “nap when your baby naps”. It isn’t the baby blues; time to start treating this seriously.
