Fear Reigns Supreme in My Pregnancy

July 16, 2014 By Lola Lolita

I am terrified of pregnancy and childbirth. Terrified. I have extreme anxiety about all the things that could go wrong, from placental problems to me having a stroke on the operating table.

When Lightning Strikes Twice

July 11, 2014 By Lola Lolita

Lightning rarely strikes the same spot twice. But when it does, it is momentous. Lightning strikes are multifaceted. On one hand, they’re beautiful — colorful, unexpected, energizing. On the other hand, they’re destructive — violent, merciless, deadly. If you’re lucky enough to be an observer, you’re filled with awe and wonder at the power of […]

I Hate Pregnancy and I’m Not Apologizing For It

July 7, 2014 By Lola Lolita

There’s this romanticized idea of what pregnancy is or should be like for expectant mothers.  Women are supposed to be mesmerized by the miracle taking place inside them, so totally in love with the changes their bodies are undergoing and grateful for the opportunity to nurture and bring forth new life into this world that […]

Advice for Parents Beginning the Special Needs Journey

June 23, 2014 By Lola Lolita

“Your child has _____.”  These are words no parent ever wants to hear.  It doesn’t matter whether the diagnosis is Autism Spectrum Disorder or cancer; the flood of emotions is intense and raw and sometimes debilitating. I know because I’ve been through it.  Every painful, nightmarish step toward acceptance.  I’ve been through it all. When […]

Morning Sickness: 4 Things You Should and 7 You Should NOT Say

April 26, 2014 By Lola Lolita

Know what’s good about having severe morning sickness (also known as hyperemesis of pregnancy)?

Common Anti-Vax Myths About Pro-Vaxers Debunked

April 11, 2014 By Lola Lolita

It’s no secret I’m pro-vaccination.  I believe any step  I can take to protect my children and loved ones is a step worth making.  When Alister, almost 6, was born, I was hesitant about administering mass quantities of different vaccinations at once.  The junk science of Andrew Wakefield had exploded into the anti-vaccination movement, and […]
