You nailed it. And unfortunately it doesn't stop with pregnancy either. Mom forums exist for the same reason as pregnancy forums (except that instead of talking about the life-threatening dangers of deli meat, we discuss things like, I HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK, WHERE THE FUCK IS ALL THE CHILDCARE?) It's not an accident that my feminist awakening (and distrust/dislike of our medical system) coincided with pregnancy and childbirth.

As for you, I wish you all the best of luck with your timed fucking!
