Pregnancy

Guest Post: How Motherhood Earned Me a Free Sex Toy

[While I’m taking a bit of a break this week, please enjoy this guest post by Paige Schilt. Paige is a dyke mama, an activist, a low-femme nerd, and a part-time professor of Feminist Studies. She is also a contributing writer at The Bilerico Project. —DR] When I was pregnant with my son, I heard […]

Two Pregnant Lesbians Walk Into a Kitchen . . .

Life & Style magazine is featuring a story about Iron Chef Cat Cora and her partner Jennifer Cora, complete with the cutest photo of the two of them simultaneously pregnant. (Jennifer in fact gave birth to the couple’s third son last week.) I haven’t read the whole article myself (not all of it is online),

Candace Parker on Sports, Fame, and Motherhood

Think of this as Mombian: The Weekend Sports Edition: ESPN the Magazine’s cover story this month features WNBA superstar Candace Parker, with her hands cupping the round curve of . . . her pregnant stomach. It’s a striking picture for a magazine that rarely has females of any sort on the cover. The article asks,

Discovery Health will feature lesbian moms Karen and Janice tomorrow (Tuesday) on Five Under 5 at 8:00 p.m. ET. The moms have a four-year-old daughter and twin sons, and are preparing to welcome another set of twins. I feel exhausted just thinking about it—but they seem to be quite the happy family. If you want

Beautiful Baby Beatie

People magazine has the first photos of transgender man Thomas Beatie and his daughter, Susan Juliette. Towleroad has some beautiful stills from Good Morning America’s coverage yesterday. From what Beatie says, the family is settling in to being a family. Can’t ask for more than that.

Olympic Mom: Hero or Cheater?

I’m feeling inadequate. Dara Torres is my age, 41, the mother of a two-year old, and just qualified for the U.S. Olympic swim team with a win in the 100-meter freestyle and a U.S.-record time in the 50-meter freestyle. This will be her fifth Olympics. In 2007, she won the 50-meter freestyle at the U.S.

Thomas Beatie Gives Birth

Thomas Beatie and his wife Nancy welcomed a baby girl into the world last Sunday. Beatie, a transgender man, made headlines in March when he announced he was pregnant. Best wishes to the new family. May they have the privacy and peace their young one needs while they also continue to help shift attitudes. Kudos

TV Alert: “Quads with Two Moms” Tonight

Thanks to Terrance at Republic of T for his serendipitous sighting of an ad for Quads with Two Moms, which will air tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern on Discovery Health as part of their Baby Week coverage. I wrote back in March about another lesbian couple who had quads. In that story, one woman carried
