[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
(But I'm'a say right up front that I plan to wish you happies again on the 27th, because I'm just That Way.)
As long as it's okay with Jess and her in-laws, I'm good with that.
Yay! Pretty cake!

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
IUDs are quite unlikely to be expelled spontaneously by a woman's uterus, but for some reason women who've never had children are more likely to do the expelling. I honestly don't know why that is from a physiologic standpoint.
AmyLiz, is it possible that your mom meant to say that they'd stripped her membranes and not actually broken her bag of water? Membranes are stripped sometimes a few days before the due date, as a very preliminary way of getting things started, but it's not the same thing as breaking the bag of water and people are often sent home from the clinic afterwards.
Even though she's not due until June 2, they may be trying to encourage labor for a number of reasons, such as levels of amniotic fluid that are tending towards the low side, the size of the baby, hypertension on your sister's part, or a whole host of other things.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Happy Birthday, JZ!
I mean, frankly, I'd rather get my tubes tied.
If you're seriously, absolutely sure about never having kids, you might want to look into Essure. I've been looking into it for myself, but since I've been NGA for so long, it hasn't been urgent. I believe it's a process where they go up through the vagina and uterus to the fallopian tubes, and put plugs in them. Scar tissue grows around the plugs, and the fallopian tubes end up completely blocked. No cutting, no extra hormones, and no babies. Planned Parenthood has a page on their site about this. [link]

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ya know - for someone who watched his wife go through the nastiness of labor and subsequent Cesarean, I'm suprised at his lack of dealing.
