“Pain during labor is caused by contractions of the muscles of the uterus and by pressure on the cervix. This pain can be felt as strong cramping in the abdomen, groin, and back, as well as an achy feeling.”
The muscles are fully capable of performing the action. The contractions and spasms are the pain, as your body prepares them for what they need to do.
Besides, it’s not actually the uterus that needs to contract, it’s the cervix. And we have no way of knowing if elastagirl has manual control over her cervix. Most women don’t have control over their cervix, hence why these contractions have to happen for childbirth to take place. It could also be risky to the fetus to try to stretch enough to make that happen.
I’m not taking it personally? I’m a bit lost now. I just commented a response.
My urge to drink vs my absolute hatred of hangovers is an endless battle within my mind and liver
I feel like both of us might benefit from moderation
Never said I was. I’m trying to become more aware of it.
The problem with YouTube is that people make real money off of their content, in an honest way. Unless you can match or exceed that level of income, you don’t have much of a chance of competing. People’s livelihoods would be at stake
Reddit was big, but not profitable for users. At most, it was a social boost and marketing. That’s easily replaceable. Real, significant profiting, not so much.
Considering contractions would be part of the birthing process caused by hormones overall, probably still painful. I don’t think her uterus realizes it’s elastagirl on a hormonal level. Just because you know and can solve the issue doesn’t mean your body stops freaking out
That is a year that was exists, yes. Your point?

[Three identical stock photo images of a smiling man with crossed arms in a white labcoat are shown, with the one in the centre being normally sized, and the one on the right being shrunk down to a fraction of the size of the first, so the smaller one’s head is just below knee height of the larger. A third copy of the same stock photo has been added to the left of both of these men, enlarged to the point where everything save for his giant legs are outside of the frame. There is text above all three men, transcribed from left to right]

Personally I’m not great at reading people and I’ve found they get even more frustrated when you get it wrong than when you just don’t do it. After a certain point I found myself miserable and I kinda stopped and went “wait, why is it MY job to know what THEY want from me?” And I eventually just kinda. Stopped. Most people hardly noticed because I got it wrong or overlooked it so much anyway but it was tons less stress on me, and now they knew how to effectively interact with me
I feel like “great idea” and META don’t really belong in the same sentence
My old person trait is when someone tells me what they mean, they better damn well be telling me what they mean, because I’m not gonna play mind games with them. If you tell me you’re not upset then I’ll believe you’re not upset, I’m honouring you and your words and trusting that you’re being upfront and honest with what you want me to know. And if you secretly are upset, it’s not my responsibility to know that, you did not tell me.
By that logic, nothing we can say will
