I stumbled over to BeautifulCervix.com, where a 25 year old midwifery student (who has never given birth) took photos of her cervix every day for a month in order to learn more about the changes the female body undertakes every month.

At first, I was a little perturbed. Only because, I hate having my yearly Pap tests done and she was willing to stick a speculum AND a camera up there for 30 days straight. Very, very brave. I hope she ate a cookie when she was done.

But then I was intrigued, because she has knowledge about her body that I still don’t. I’ve been pregnant twice and still (somewhat) have no clue how it happened. (Spare me the lesson on the reproductive system – I mean, the changes my body underwent to make sure it was ready to meet my husband’s sperm. Now there’s a sentence I never thought I’d type.)

Be forewarned, the site is very NSFW (although most people might not know what it is you’re looking at) but very very cool.

Best website I ever stumbled upon – True Mom Confessions.

Happy moms, disgruntled moms, frustrated moms – They all come to this website to air their personal confessions – how stupid/wonderful their husband is, how the kids won’t stop screaming, how much they hate/love their postbaby body, etc.

Reading the various posts makes you feel like whatever issue is stressing you at the moment, there are at least 20 other mothers who will hit the “Me Too” button. Now the site allows comments, where moms who are a few years removed from your situation can leave you messages telling you that yes, it WILL get better.

But whatever you do – don’t go to the neighboring True Dad Confessions site – not unless you want to spend the rest of the day looking at your hubby/significant other warily out the corner of your eye, wondering if he feels the same way as some of these dads. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
