"It's Uterus Not Uter You"

"We were so thrilled to find out that we were with child! Remember how we went to the first checkup and we looked at the sonogram and we heard the baby's heartbeat together for the first time? That was nice. The fact that the heartbeat was coming from somewhere very close to the large intestine belonging to just one of us didn't really occur to us then. We were just excited to hear it! We were having a baby! Hooray for us!
"It was strange, though, when we started to vomit every morning, but only one of us would actually go into the bathroom and stick her face in the toilet and hurl. Why would only one of us experience symptoms of pregnancy if we were both pregnant?"

Heather Havrilesky at New York takes on those who say "we are pregnant."
