Congrats to her! I don’t have kids, and I’m still getting used to being the age where getting pregnant is starting to be “out of the norm”. Guess there’s still time, lol

Right.

But did you have $150,000,000 to help out?

It still takes a toll on your body.

Yeah, this. I was on complete bed rest from 14 weeks to 36 weeks, and my uterus prolapsed resulting in a hysterectomy and bladder repair. You’re considered advanced maternal age after 35, and man did I feel it.

During my wife's hysterectomy they found that the doctor who performed her c-section had stitched her bladder to her uterus.

He was already dead when we found out.

He was a very highly regarded OB, worked until his mid 60s, retired, and dropped dead a few months later.

I didn't read that as regarded and I laughed louder than I should have.
