Exhibit 1: The result of my google curiousity about when lactation normally begins... bitty
Exhibit 2: Any thread on mumsnet about childbirth. I have discovered that the only women who write in to these threads are the ones who can't wait to tell you about their "3rd degree tearing"
On a marginally related topic...
I've been vaguely watching season 2 of Glee - with the sinking realisation that any trace of comedic edge has been shredded, stamped on and thrown into the sea. And, dear god, is there anything on earth creepier than The Warblers? Whenever they start formation dancing in school uniform it's like some horrible, nightmarish vision of Dead Poets from Stepford, inducing the same level of arm-chewing horror in me as the episodes that feature Will singing and dancing (shudder). And as if that were not enough - the camera cuts relentlessly to Kurt's rapt, grinning puppet face, looking like little other than the ventriloquists's dummy from Magic. (Argh!)
