pregnancy

The world is a scary place. And it just got a whole lot scarier thanks to a Twitter thread from @ZiziFothSi. Apparently, some doctors discourage MRIs while pregnant. The claim comes from the belief that the contrast agents used in the procedure could be dangerous.@ZiziFothSi's thread, however, challenges this explanation. Instead, she suggests that the real reasons doctors warn against MRIs is because the world would be clued in to how absolutely horrifying fetuses look in the resulting images. 

The photos used to support her theory are undoubtedly disturbing. Ultrasounds are very generous in their ability to obscure the nightmarish nature of these so-called babies growing inside a woman's womb. As Twitter users pointed out in the responses, they look more like the aliens from Mars Attacks! or a Klingon than a future human being. While the images are revulsion-worthy, they're also pretty fascinating. Judging by the thread's wealth of funny and shocked replies, we're not the only ones who think so. 

Sorry, Carrie Underwood. We know you probably worked hard to promote keying cars in the wake of cheating, but there's a new form of revenge in town. And it's way more deviously petty. After a Tumblr post suggested utilizing seam rippers as a weapon against philandering men, user aerialsquidshared a family tale of seam ripper revenge from when they were in their hormonal mother's womb. It's a quick story but definitely made our day brighter with its hilarity. And it definitely proves that seam rippers have many more uses than one might think. 

As reproductive rights are being stripped from women in Alabama and Missouri, many women are coming out to discuss their experiences with abortion and reproductive health. After reading this Twitter thread from @brownandbella, we are starting to think that we need to talk not only about the right to choose, but about the state of sexual education in the United States. These astounding shows of ignorance are definitely proof that something needs to change. We might be chuckling at some of these tweets, but reality of it all is pretty frickin' dark.

The idea that 'pee is stored in the balls' is a pretty established internet joke, but imagine if someone actually believed that this was true. Well, there are way too many people online who either ask for advice that betrays their general lack of anatomical knowledge, or worse, they spout obviously wrong information all over the internet. In this gallery, we've got a bunch of prime examples of stupid people who don't know how the body works and the embarrassing dumbassery they post. 

Pregnant women deserve way more recognition for the sh*t they have to go through. Seriously, y'all are superheroes or something. Scroll down and browse through the following memes about how horrible pregnancy is, and then click here after the baby is born for some memes about the "joys" of parenting!

Singer-songwriter Grimes slyly announced her pregnancy with Elon Musk  (and displayed her nipples) on Instagram and Twitter yesterday evening, and the internet has gone completely wild over the news. The Canadian artist had uploaded two photos of herself: one with nipples, and one without. Both photos have a very subtle fetus photoshopped into her womb. After about an hour of rabid internet speculation, Grimes confirmed her pregnancy in an Instagram comment, referring to pregnancy as wild and feral. The post was later deleted for nudity. 

While the Instagram gods have acted upon their wildly anti-nipple stance, they can't stop memers from going in on the exceedingly memeable couple. Memers are roasting the twosome gleefully on Twitter, making copious references to space, technology, and, of course, aliens. We're pretty sure that the Musk x Grimes collaboration will result in 100% human offspring, but the meme-y alternatives and witty Twitter reactions are giving us life. Here are our favorites.

Feeling drained and listless after the seemingly unending holiday madness? Do you not know how to get through life without a glass of champagne glistening in your hand? It's time to shake off the malaise and step back into reality. You know what helps us do that? The amusing yet slightly monotonous aid of memes. 

Kinkshaming is pretty frowned upon, but there are some people that take things so far that it's unavoidable. Two days ago, a Twitter account by the name of @learningtosubm1 triggered the social media site with a disconcerting post about getting pregnant. 

After a long year, my husband finally believes I am ready to carry his child in my womb. To feed them with my body. To give him my whole body for his descendants. Im ready to receive his seed, to become fully his. Cant wait to be impregnated <3 to he owned

The overtly submissive and arguably antiquated message quickly went viral, with Twitter favorites such as Brandy Jensen and @leon weighing in with savage burns and desperate disbelief. The shock and horror, and the righteous burns, are incredibly entertaining. While we'd like to believe that this disaster of a tweet is real, scrolling through the account and its wealth of stock photos, it seems like this person is heavily dedicated to the role of a submissive wife. It's gross, but boy do we love to hate-read this sh*t.

Sometimes getting pregnant isn't just about wanting to have kids. These women reveal their extremely strange and sometimes petty reasons for getting pregnant.

These memes aren't for the intellectuals. These memes are for the tired, the weary. The downtrodden and nearly brain dead. These memes are for when you're too tired to go out, too tired to pay attention to the TV. These memes are for when you just need a little treat.
