women’s hormones drop 1000x in just 72 h after birth and It’s a literal hormonal shock. It’s the sharpest hormonal crash a body can survive. Estrogen crashes from peak pregnancy levels to near zero. Progesterone plummets over 1000%. The endocrine system rewrites itself to stop pregnancy and start lactation. All while her organs shift back, her uterus contracts, and she bleeds for weeks. All that while taking care of a newborn 24/7. God forbid she doesn’t feel like herself or is moody.
Breastfeeding feels like lazy parenting because whenever my baby is fussy and I don’t know why, I just give her the breast and she’s fine. It’s giving iPad baby.
The absolute chaos of a theater full of people who knew the books by heart screaming "THAT WASN'T IN THE BOOK"... I'd give anything to experience that collective terror for the first time again.
people are insane for thinking is bad idgaf
disabled people who have already been born obviously deserve respect and a comfortable life, but choosing not to give birth to a child who you know will have to deal with the disability for the rest of their life is 100% understandable.
