There is a string that hangs down into the vagina

I meant that he could feel this, it's a sharp metal wire. The Mirena isn't made of copper, it's a flexible plastic. I'm thinking about having it removed if I don't stop spotting soon. It's driving me insane.

I know this is completely irrelevant, and unhelpful, but, I got pregnant on BCP!

My old roommate was a vegetarian. He was also an alcoholic. One night he started eating chinese food leftovers (that didn't belong to him), while me and one of our other roommates tried to tell him that it contained meat. He didn't believe us, he also didn't believe that the leftovers weren't his. He wolfed down an entire container of beef fried rice while claiming it wasn't beef. He was oh-so-very sick, as well as embarrassed the next morning. 

When I was 7 months pregnant I went shopping for a new pair of maternity pants since I had gained 40 lbs since I bought my first pair.

I went into Old Navy and got a pair of jeans with a full panel in the front (in one size up from what I used to wear, being hopeful). In the dressing room, I grabbed onto the panel to pull the pants up, and the panel ripped right off the pants. It was so loud and I could hear the dressing room attendant stifle a laugh.

I just left the pants in the dressing room and wore sweat pants for the rest of my pregnancy (and 3 months after). 

I've been making delicious, huge breakfasts for less than 250 calories. I cut up a bunch of veggies (onions, peppers, mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, whatever i have in the fridge), and make an omelet with 1/2 cup egg beaters (60 calories) and 1/4 Sargento reduced fat cheese (80 calories). It's delicious, and it holds me over for a few hours.

 (I'm not sure how all those celeb moms do it in 3 months--my guess is either extraordinary luck or surgical intervention.)

I was reading online about a lot of celebrities choosing to have c-sections and getting a tummy tuck at the same time.

I went in the hospital for awhile and they gave me this wonderful med that makes me want to do nothing but eat. I put on 30 pounds since. This morning I was outside waiting for my son to get here and my upstairs neighbor came down to chat with me. He told me that he ws going to be an uncle. I thought he was talking about his cat, so I just smiled. Further into the conversation, he said, "So what are you, 4 or 5 months?" I looked at him so funny and told him that I wasn't pregnant. Then he said, "Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that you put on so much weight." Just then my son came, so I made a quick escape into the house. Just when I was trying to get comfortable with myself, he totally killed it. Back to the drawing board.

I just had a baby 7 weeks ago, and I've had 3 comments in the past week since I went back to work from people thinking I was pregnant. It really kills your self-esteem.

I asked him too, but my boyfriend wouldn't shave it for me! I got so big that I still couldn't find my crotch until about 6 weeks postpartum! (last week was the first time I've shaved since November!)

He was completely okay with trimming my toenails though. I don't know if that's strange or not.  

It's a little over 100 calories,  it's 120 calories per serving. But, i keep a box of this around:

Mix 2 tbsps mix with 1 tbsp FF vanilla yogurt, pop it in the microwave for a minute and you have a delicious chocolatey, gooey 120 calorie snack. AND, it's not too small either!

I stopped weighing myself about 2 weeks before I gave birth, but that that point I weighed around 195 lbs (a 55 lb weight gain!). I was probably atleast 200 when I was admitted to the hospital. I'm 5 weeks postpartum and I still weigh 175. My husband only weighs 150! I feel like such a lard, his tshirts and pajama pants don't even fit me!
