Jamie Lee Curtis: Blame It on the Fame Game?
How Love Changes Your Body Chemistry
Ever have the urge to have unprotected sex? Well, get ready to feel your fallopian tubes curl up like gift-wrap ribbon. We know the girls at Jezebel said it was OK, but if you need even more motivation than that not to do it, check out the horrifying trend our friends at Urlesque unearthed: time-lapse pregnancy videos.
They're scarier than anything we've seen in the "Alien" movies and NOVA combined. We keep pausing it at the exact moment in the video when she gets a "mom" haircut. Watch, if you dare!

What the heck is so terrifying about that? She's very petite & looks beautiful pregnant...like maybe 1/20th of women will look that good pregnant. Everyone else pretty much ends up looking & feeling like a whale! I'm sure with my wonderful German genetics, I will too!
BTW, condom shmondom. I'm married 5 years & have not used any kind of protection once (namely because it's against my religion) & I've learned when I ovulate & if needs be, avoid intercourse at that time & most of the time we don't. No fertility issues (we've been checked out nor do they run in our family), just not our time & the gettin' is good n' plenty. It takes couples on average (with having sex every day to every other day for 10+ days) 5 MONTHS to get pregnant.
It's not irresponsible of me to say how great it is not to worry about a pill, or an IUD or stopping to put on a rubber or worse, worrying about horrible side effects of many of the products on the market because we are married & when sex is kept to the confines of marriage (given the knowledge of how difficult it is for most couples to reproduce) what on Earth could possibly so horrible?
Just some perspective from the other side of the coin.

That whole condom shmondom thing is sooooo NOT true. You can get pregnant at anytime, not to mention all the STDs you can rack up in the process. ALWAYS use a condom unless you don't mind having an STD or a baby.

I also don't understand what was so terrifying about this video. Having a child is one of the things I look forward to the most once I get married and make that decision. There was NOTHING terrifying about it. It was beautiful.
And yes, it is cool if you don't want kids, but terrifying is such a strong word to associate with the miracle of pregnancy.

oh everyone should chill, if you are in a committed relationship you should not have to use condoms because of fear of STD's, especially if you are married (if thats a concern stop sleeping around). the video is great, remember its what happens when women get pregnant, they go through changes....i may not personally i understand why you would share a video like this with the public (i understand saving for the child in process), but who cares. its not a freaking alien, that was you at some point. get over the fact that you did not just appear, you came out of a vagina after your daddies sperm met with your mommies egg. xo

I didn't find this terrifying at all -- I thought it was interesting and cute and fun. It brought back so many fun memories of my pregnancy, which seemed to blast by at about this rate of speed, sadly. I enjoyed getting bigger, and having a huge belly sticking out front. It was fun, and freaky, and outrageous. But not frightening. But, I am an older mother, so I don't scare easy.....

Oh come on. That was adorable. You want scary? Try watching a video of the actual birth. THAT'S over-sharing what with the screaming and the goo.
THIS video is cute. And it was likely posted for family and friends that are interested to see it. If you don't want to watch it, then don't. If you want to be child-free, that's your choice. If you want to have a baby, that's a choice too. But baby-making-bashing (i.e. comparing it to the Alien popping out) is just plain not nice. When I was in my 20's I was child-free by choice. I hit 30 and the bio-clock clanged hard and here we are with a sprout on the way. It's a choice.
Plus someone's gotta be having the babies to pay for the social security for all the non-baby-makers out there when they retire so just be happy that other people are happy.

Wow Joy...what's your deal? Hate people existance? Hate babies? Work for Trojan? What's the problem? If 2 people are married & either their religion prohibits use of contraception or they're trying to get pregnant or they just don't feel like puttin on a rubber, what's "SOOOOOO NOT true"? You don't get STDs from having sex with 1 person repeatedly! You sound like a confused 14 year old who had her head stuffed full of nonsense. All Lora was saying is that it is typically more difficult than people think to get pregnant. When you're ovulating, there's a 20%-14% of chance of conception...everything else varries from 9%-3%. So yes there is ALWAYS a chance, but not a huge whopping one like everyone seems to think. And if yo azz is out there sleepin around, you deserve an STD...that's what happens when you don't stay committed to one person. Sometimes you can get away with it, but eventually it'll catch up to you. Trust me, I work in a gyno office & more & more people are coming in saying they "always" used protection...doesn't mean s*** if it's all over a dudes balls or his pubes hides any infection. Condoms also can break, esp. with women who have a spermicide & laytex sensitivity/allergy, inside & you usually don't know it till the deed is done.
Bottom line: don't be a skank & you won't get an STD...goes for men & women. And Joy, I've done & burried 3 friends who died from AIDS...they were children when they died & not a one of them had sex...they got it from blood transfusions.

OK- what's so bad about being pregnant? Using a condom or other contraception is SO much worse. Can't people just use some self-control? I mean, if you don't want kids, don't have sex. It's that simple. Or try NFP ( Natural Family Planning). I'm not kidding, it actually works. Really well, in fact. I can't believe how many people there are out there who think it's actually ok to use sex for pleasure and not use it for what it's meant for- kids! Children are a gift. More people should accept the wonderful gift they are given! This is a great video!

The birth of a baby is one of lifes most beauitful miracles. Fear during a womans first pregnancy is completely normal. The changes your body goes through is the first step to learning how to sacrifice for your child. The overwhelming love a mother has for her child should and does over shadow anything anyone can say during the time she is carrying her baby and during the life of that child. I hope all mothers and mothers - to be- will be nothing but proud and over joyed by the many changes a baby can and will bring to her life. Also, for those of you with your many comments on condoms and other forms of birth control...remember, we are all individuals whos bodies react in different ways. Do yourselves a huge favor, get educated through your doctor not your friends!

I think this video was adorable! And I would just like to say, that while I have the utmost respect for people that save intercourse for marriage, on average I dont think thats the most realistic standpoint to take. With so many girls, teenage and adult, that are having unwanted pregnancies and/or contracting STD's, to tell them a condom isnt necessary is frightening. Lets face it, most married women cant even tell you when they're ovulating and dont even know how to figure it out! and while I dont condone sleeping with multiple partners if you're not ina relationship with them, we have to be realisitic over the fact that our culture, media, books, jokes, and professions almost all revolve around sex in some aspect. So its understandable that most young people now feel sex just 'isnt a big deal anymore'. I think we should judge people a little less and try to be a bit more understanding (and for the record Im directing this at many of those religious people who seem to think its ok for them to rip on those who arent religious)
