"Who goes with you to the doctor's when your husband can't go?"

Can you believe a woman asked this question on a Baby-related message board?

Umm, Hello? NOBODY. Why in the world would I ask somebody to give up a chunk of their day to sit in a waiting room with me? I would feel absolutely ridiculous asking somebody to do that when I can certainly handle it by myself.

I swear to god, being pregnant turns some women into a bunch of feeble ninny-heads. For crying out loud, they should be ashamed to be so helpless.

I am proud that I can take care of myself. I know that I will never have to rely on anyone other than myself, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I can manage a career, my finances, my savings, my home. I can assemble Ikea furniture and hang curtains and pictures. I can maintain my car, I can care for my pet, and I can care for myself.

I can make my own decisions. I am proud of my successes, and I can deal with the consequences of my mistakes.

In short, I can take care of myself physically, financially, socially, and mentally. I can say with complete confidence that I am an independent, strong, capable woman.

The day I can't handle going to a routine OB appointment by myself is the day I hand in my ovaries. Good Grief. The whole idea of taking somebody with me bc/ my husband can't go is so disgusting, it's laughable.
