Hump What To Expect When You're Expecting
Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 3:45 PM
You're expecting! That's wonderful! Congrats! You know what we weren't expecting? We weren't expecting you to leave your baby's ultrasound pictures sitting on the floor under your seat at On The Boards this weekend after a HUMP! screening. If you want your ultrasound pictures back... email us.

I hope the mother wasn't one of the people who went down for the shots of Jack at the beginning...

Oh please, don't tell Mudede. The juxtaposition of pregnant and porn will fry his cirucuits for sure.

@4, Maybe someone should tell Mudede, the juxtaposition of porn and pregnant could fry his circuits for good.

A few years back I found a small ultrasound photo on the beach near the sculpture park... still have the photo to this day

Fetus's ultrasound pictures; "fetus". You start calling them babies, and people get all up in arms about killing them and scraping/suctioning them out of the uterus.
@3: Eh... Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is only strongly correlated with heavy drinking repeatedly throughout a pregnancy. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders involve too many individual factors to establish toxic levels of alcohol exposure (hence the "no alcohol whatsoever" recommendation from the USA Surgeon General, to avoid the risk entirely). Alcohol CAN harm a fetus and impair normative development, but then so can the estrogen analogue the leeches out of PET bottles into bottled water, tea, soda, etc. I wouldn't worry about a shot or two once or twice.
