Because it's not risk-free? Because when you have it, you may have felt pressured into it? Because if you wind up in the intervention cascade afterwards, you feel like you could have done something to have stopped it?

Okay, but I'm not trying to state it is unreasonable if you do feel bad about it. It seems like there's this pressure that you should feel bad about it that I don't understand. But like Jesse said, there is a lot of should-ing about all sorts of decisions that mothers make.

Oh! I saw some news report on cable at the gym, about a potential hurricane, or tropical storm, that might fuck up the attempts to cap the oil spill. And it hit me what a great roller derby name would be:
Gail Force.
Unrelated to derby or childbirth, I didn't want to forget to tell y'all that I came home and vibed the tomatoes today. Manual stimulation only, thankyouverymuch.
I manually stimulated my tomatoes, too, AIWFG!!!!
