I just found your blog recently and have loved checking in to see what’s going on. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Although we are still not pregnant (grrrrr..), my wife and I are in a similar situation. We are hoping that she too will be a 32 year old, butch, pregnant lesbian very soon. Of course, if it doesn’t happen in the next cycle she will be 33.

I found your blog via CCB on Twitter — I loved reading your experiences. My wife and I are TTC and HOPEFUL that I (the lovely femme) will carry, however, it has been recommended that if we don’t succeed early on, that we TTC with her carrying (my lovely little ‘soft butch’).
GOOD LUCK! Keep posting : )

Thank you for this blog – it’s wonderfully written. I’m 20 weeks pregnant with our second and if my darling butch wife would have even considered carrying, I imagine that her pregnancy experiences would be similar to yours. I read and sometimes consider a comment, but I thought I’d first introduce myself. Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us!

Love the blog – also fellow Butch who is contemplating being pregnant. Right now the wife is trying but i really want a biological child of my own. Anyhow, would love pic because more people need to see this and get comfortable with it and WTH do you wear is my concern ( for me )
Thank you,
J & M

Hey there. The clothes suck mostly if you have to ever look “nice” (business casual, etc.), but if you’re in a t-shirts and jeans place most of the time, it doesn’t have to be as awful if you just upgrade your t-shirt sizes. I’ll try to post some pics soon, now that I’m 8.5 months and looking as pregnant as possible.
Keeping the end result in mind (popping out the kid) definitely takes some of the edge off of the wardrobe hate. Plus, knowing it’s temporary also helps.
PS – Your website is fucking awesome.

i saw your link on two bad moms and I can’t wait for you to meet Vegas! It’s so funny, right after. I looked down and thought oh, duh, this is something that happened to HER, not somethingthat happened to me!
the pronouns rearrange themselves just like that.
break your water,
