you defended it? was it at risk of being taken away or something lol?

@FitnessByHeatherHeyer oof

Defending a thesis is what you have to do before you can graduate

if someone attacks your thesis and wins do you have to give your phd to them

If you fail to defend your thesis you just have to fix the things that were wrong and try again. Unless it’s really bad then you may have to scrap it and start over

You’re defending it against a committee of professors in the field

"You should opt in to consume porn when buying internet."
Okay, and when I buy my car I'll opt-in to driving to the dildo store.

Blonde, don't get the epidural! Have your baby the old fashioned way at home. My wife just had our 6th kid, four of which were born at home. It's way better.

why?

she also doesnt read these messages btw

neither does matt

This whole porn debate is the dumbest fucking thing that the right could be debating. If you think porn should be banned on the government level, please make an appointment to get sterilized

say "government gunpoint" one more time, matt

ffs

@Big T because the environment is more relaxed, it costs less money, and you aren't forced to do procedures you don't want to do in the course of having your kid in order to accommodate the hospital's convenience.

and when something happens to your kid, you have to drive your ass to the hospital, risking precious time.

that midwife cant help you

but i was asking why not take an epidural

The female body was built to be able to have babies. If everybody is healthy you don't need all the medical interventions. It's not a disease.

LOL

Just have your kid in a damn hospital. It's a medical procedure, it's important, and for most of by human history, it was dangerous. We live in a time when it isn't now, thank goodness

Because of hospitals

no shit it was built to give birth, but complications happen. they have happened for millennia. women and children have died from childbirth

I've experienced both, home birth is better. Have you experienced both?

i dont need first hand experience to determine if something is objectively better

personal anecdotes are good enough reasons

aren't*

My mother and sister are both maternity nurses. They're elbow deep in birth every day

That connected enough for you?

"if you didnt do this, then you cant talk"
ok boomer

Obviously not everybody can do it. If you have health problems, then you should go to a hospital. Otherwise you're over paying and getting unnecessary treatments.

healthy women can have complications still

Absolutely

excessive bleeding, baby getting stuck in the birth canal, etc

baby not breathing

etc etc

First day on the job, my sister had a woman who nearly died. No history of complications, no drug use. Her blood pressure crashed, nearly died and would of taken the baby with her

But she didn't because she was in a fucking hospital

💯

Not in a tub at home having a baby with some woo woo fucking witch doctor

Guys, just do some research. This is not as crazy as you think it is. We've all been conditioned to think we need doctors for this when it's not strictly necessary.
