A dad-to-be ranted to his friends about how his wife is using her twin pregnancy as an excuse to get out of things. Of course, she’s now found out.

It will come as no surprise that he’s in a tad bit of trouble, so he’s posted online to ask whether he was actually in the wrong to speak his mind to his mates/totally betray his wife.

“She wants to be pampered constantly”

“The fact is that she’s been hard to be around and demanding since she got pregnant and wants to be pampered all the time,” the man wrote in his post.

An Associated Press analysis of federal hospital investigations finds that more than 100 pregnant women in medical distress who sought help from emergency rooms were turned away or negligently treated since 2021. (AP Video: Kendria LaFleur) WASHINGTON (AP) — Bleeding and in pain, Kyleigh Thurman didn’t know her doomed pregnancy could kill her. Emergency room doctors at Ascension Seton Williamson in Texas handed her a pamphlet on miscarriage and told her to “let nature take its course” before discharging her without treatment for her ectopic pregnancy. When she returned three days later, still bleeding, doctors finally agreed to give her an injection to end the pregnancy. It was too late. The fertilized egg growing on Thurman’s fallopian tube ruptured it, destroying part of her reproductive system.

Many parents turn to either swaddles or sleep sacks to keep their baby comfortable while sleeping. Swaddling also is used as a way to soothe a fussy newborn and promote sleep—especially as they adjust to life outside the womb. “Swaddling is a traditional practice of wrapping a baby gently...

A new bill in Congress would ban weighted sleep products for babies following warnings that the sleepwear is killing infants. Weighted sleep products, including blankets, swaddles and sleep sacks, are similar to mini sleeping bags, but their added weight can calm babies and lull them to sleep faster. The added weight can range from a few ounces to 1.5 pounds. Many parents swear by them.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny six-pound dog named Alistair who is looking for his forever home. At only one year old, this little boy is a sweet dog who is thought to be a Maltese, "but we can’t make any guarantees that he would be suitable for those with allergies," explains the nonprofit animal rescue.

It was less than an hour before my cesarean section, even though my due date was still six weeks away. My doctor had determined that one of my twin babies was at risk of being stillborn if I didn’t deliver promptly. Strains of Van Halen’s “316” played softly in the background from my carefully curated “Birth Day” playlist while my husband suited up in scrubs. After a chipper anesthesiologist ran through a litany of health questions, she stopped and gave me a once-over.

On the internet, we often see struggling dogs who just want to have enough food to make it through the day. The common assumption is that these pups are being neglected. However, it’s sometimes important to look at the entire situation before making a judgment. Sometimes, owners struggle financially, and that makes it hard to care for a pet.

Editor's note: This article was originally published on February 22, 2023. It has since been updated. A video of a baby stroller left outside unattended sparked conversations about the practice of letting babies nap alone in cold weather. Australian TikTok user, Olly Bowman uploaded a video titled, "Another day in Norway, another group of babies left out alone in the cold." In the video, Bowman films himself and a group of baby strollers lined up on the street behind him. No parents were seen in the frame. "It helps with their breathing and makes them more independent," he said. As reported by Insider, social media users were shocked at the concept, with many interpreting this as a positive that parents feel comfortable leaving their children unsupervised without worrying about any possible danger.
