I have told my husband that on the slim chance I should ever be pregnant my wardrobe shall consist of t-shirts imprinted with the following instructions for the doctors and my signature: "Please administer painkillers early and often."

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.
Cut a hole in the back and write: "Place Drugs Here" with an arrow pointing to your spine.
It occurs that with all of the sprogging we seem to be doing around here, maybe we should have a birthing/parenting thread.
Not that I proposing it, mind you.
A doctor once informed me that women lose blood every month and, since I'm a vegetarian, I'm not eating blood to replace it, and so I won't be able to have kids. (I was 15 or so at the time, and a bit too startled to counter with, "Um, India?") This was the same doctor who told me that my pain was entirely psychosomatic before he examined me.
Crazy doctors. I could add stories, but I'll just sit back and read for now.
How asinine.
It occurs that with all of the sprogging we seem to be doing around here, maybe we should have a birthing/parenting thread.
I have occasionally thought this. I definitely censor my parent-related issues here, mainly because I worry about boring people. I wonder if the non-parents get tired of the topic. But maybe it's just like cats or baseball.
eta: I know sometimes doctors are necessary but there are so many reasons to avoid them.
aw, I'd be sad if the parenting stuff left Bitches.
But maybe it's just like cats or baseball.
For me it's like this. I'll admit to skip/skimming sometimes, but I want to know what's happening with my bitches, and I know I want to hear the "it was white and square and it looked like a tooth so I swallowed it" stories.

This.
I know the thread has really changed over time, partly because of the parenting stuff and personal stuff, but it feels like it's grown with us. I like it.
The good thing about online conversations, I think, is that you can skip/skim without anyone else noticing. I suppose we all self-censor some.
