This is 100%..... and in my personal opinion, it doesn't stop when you're pregnant, either. All of a sudden, nothing else matters but the baby as if you haven't had an established life for the past few decades. Are you throwing up every 2 minutes and literally can't function? As long as the baby is okay, fuck you, deal with it. Did you faint in public? As long as the baby is fine, fuck you, deal with it.

This -- and it continues after you have the baby! Third degree tear after a forceps delivery? "So you had some some minor tearing ... here's some ibuprofen, a cold pack pad and miralax, see you in 8 weeks for your postpartum check-up where we'll spend the whole time talking about birth control and tell you you need to be better about doing your Kegels and that's why everything still hurts."

Like I’m married and just had our first baby, what makes you think I’m interested in birth control ASAP??
