Oh, and this...
I've been watching my seasons of Friends (best show EVER!!), to keep me laughing through the sleep deprivation, and I started off with season 8 this time because that's the season when Rachel gets pregnant. I oughtta give those writers a few tips about labour and the post-partum stage!!
Rachel was supposedly in labour for 17 hours having contractions every minute, sh'yeah right! I'm sure that can be a reality, but not the way that Jennifer Aniston portrayed it on the show. Another big beef that I had with watching those episodes was her post-partum figure. The show could have at least tried to be realistic about that! Rachel was wearing green pajamas in the hospital after giving birth, and anyone who has had a child knows that it takes the uterus awhile (usually 6 weeks) to shrink back to it's normal size, so it's not uncommon to still look 4 or 5 months pregnant after birth. Well, Rachel had her nice flat tummy immediately after birth, even with those pajamas on! NOT FAIR!! Sorry, just had to vent on how not-realistic TV is!
