Okay honestly lmk if I’m crazy but for the mother daughter no kids story I feel there’s both things they need to unpack. Her reason for not wanting kids is related to her own trauma growing up which she’s clearly in a different position. Dual incomes married like it’s not going to be the miserable selfless life she’s imagining. I’m not saying she should have them if she doesn’t want to I just thought that should be worth pointing out that the reason she’s doesn’t want to isn’t even in play

Caustic

listening to an old episode but i’ve known two separate people named Cricket. not hating but it’s different. i personally dislike the name nevaeh and any of the “-ity” names (serenity, trinity, liberty).

Elizabeth Diedam

it’s definitely a food lion 😭

Addie

Dang Morgan, not you saying you didn’t like my name 😂

Lizbeth Sanchez

hahahah the ‘nature names’ cracked me up bc i went to school with a girl named sky and her brothers were named ‘lake’ and ‘canyon’ 😭😭😭

tay

Food Lion is not nice. I avoid shopping there if I can. Walmart is better lol

Katie

I think it’s interesting that all the times he mentions his wife being “mean” is when she is in a situation in which she is extremely overstimulated. It could be my own biases but the picture that came to my mind was her doing everything cleaning cooking working taking care of the kid and then being rightfully annoyed with him. And him and her future kids laughing at mom together saying how she is so crazy.

Rosana

Very much food lion energy

Zarya Dahl

Just jumping on to say both my kids births were such an amazing experience. I had a midwife and OB (had GD so had to have an OB) I had an epidural and didn’t tear either. The moment the babe came out and my husband was the one to tell me the sex of the baby was such a special moment. I can say I honestly loved that part of my pregnancy. So there is hope and positive stories!!!

Carpenter-Fancy

The way my cousin 23f and her bf 22m the way they take to eachother makes me so sick the hit and call eachother names like bitch stupid dumb ass it's so gross and I tell them that's not okay to act like that and she just said worry about your own relationship. And I always tell him don't ever act like that around my bf 38m because he will hit you. You don't act like that towards a women

April

Workplace bullying? Sexual harassment? It creates an unsafe workplace, and that is a work issue.

Sarebski

The second story makes me think of my mom. I’m lesbian and came out at 17. We had a horrible relationship and she put me through conversion therapy sessions with her pastor. When I left for college, got into a long term relationship, and realized I could just not answer her phone calls, my mom went into a deep depression and eventually had to be put on SSRIs. It’s odd to me because she genuinely hates that I’m gay but then acted like that once I left? I’ve grown so much resentment and I fear she’s going to have a psychotic break like that when I get engaged/married.

Malia

My childbirth wasn’t easy, but let me tell you, it was WORTH IT! I’m such a weenie and I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it, but I felt so powerful. Seeing my baby come out in the mirror they gave me was the most empowering experience and I was elated when that sweet girl was laid on my chest!

Bethany McGill

I shop almost exclusively at Food Lion because they deliver to my house 😂

Bethany McGill

Food Lion energy....as I have to pull into the damn Food Lion parking lot! I'M CACKLING🤣

Emily A

POSITIVE LABOR just to make you feel better! I loved labor. Yes I did have a epidural. But I have never felt like such a bad add women, like I can do anything! It was my first baby and I got her out in 10 pushes 17 min. My mom is a labor and delivery nurse and because I delivered at her hospital she got to do most of my checks and all the post labor things with the baby.

Sam

I’m dead at the food lion comments bc 10000000%%%% food lion vibes 😂😂😂

Jordan Harwood

You should def do some positive child birth stories im pregnant due in feb and terrified.

Apocalypse Navi

Since when is it okay to go through someone else’s phone, screen shot something, and send it to another group of people? You guys calling it bullying is wild. What people do in their free time can’t be brought into work. Making a hot list isn’t illegal. You guys missed on this one.

Maria

definitely food lion vibes

erin gambino

Dude… during my period, I am SUPER careful about expressing my irritation. When I was first starting my periods (I was maybe 10 or 11), I snapped at my mom and got a verbal wallop like this dude just dealt. It made me very self-aware. Now I keep a tight leash on my temper, and I make sure to apologize to my husband for my edginess. Most of the time he says he didn’t even notice me being snappy. This lady has no excuse to be rude/mean to her husband. Him snapping at her could just be the wake up call she needs

Kelly McKinley

Food lions are pretty crazy

Haley Decker

I am someone who has made the decision to not have kids. I’ve been pregnant twice, the first one ended with me literally dying for a minute (developed eclampsia and had multiple seizures and then stopped breathing) second pregnancy was ectopic, and I ended up needing to have emergency surgery on Father’s Day where I lost a fallopian tube. My mom every chance she gets brings up how I shouldn’t give up, I also live in a very red state where they are arguing how close to death a woman needs to be in order to be granted a medically necessary abortion. Idk how to explain it to her that with my history and the way our country is, it’s literally not safe for me to have a kid. Still she tells me I’ll regret it when I’m old not having kids. Like I wants kids but I don’t want to die while trying to have them.

Kit Oberg

I feel the same way about Chappell Roan, love to see the love for her!!

Molly

My second birth was so easy. My first was a nightmare. But with my second I went into labor early at 36 weeks and I got the epidural which was magic and I was taking a nap and the nurse came in to turn me and my baby wasn’t on the monitor anymore and she’s like I can’t find him and then she looked and he was born! It’s called born in the bed I think. She just plopped him on my chest and I was like what’s happening. I felt nothing.

Natasha Wilcox

Just had my first baby in January, easy pregnancy no nausea, easy birth only expected pain before getting epidural, and easy recovery was back in the gym by 6 wks pp. Love my little girl

Rachel Vandeveer

my mom has had 4 kids, 3 pregnancies (one set of twins - c section - two natural births after that) and all the time she says she’s had tooth aches that hurt more than child birth

Mint Berries

Literally driving through Hampstead, NC as I listened to the first story 😂 Kerri you are SO RIGHT about this sounding like food lion drama 😂

Rachel Baker

My daughter’s middle names are Francis Lynn! And I let my husband name our daughter. And I’m an Elizabeth 😂

liz svendrowski

Psych student here! The reason many of us are so hyper critical of ourselves (evolutionarily speaking) is because if you are really mean to yourself, you will make SURE you don’t eff up, if that makes sense. It’s your brains way of making sure you won’t put yourself at risk. As someone with anxiety & depression, it’s been helpful to realize that my anxious thoughts are often times simply out of fear & my body just going a little over board in trying to protect me, even when it isn’t necessary. There’s a lot more to this as well but just thought I’d share!!! So happy to talk psych any time heheheh

Natalie Senior

I met my baby daddy at food lion 🤣

Brianna Garcia

I think the guy from the first story is a huge baby and needs to grow up. I don't agree with calling it bullying. I'm not saying the girls were right but bullying is when someone is intentionally seeking out to hurt, belittle, bother, etc. someone else. Those absolutely weren't their intentions and they didn't really owe him an apology. It's insane an adult is letting something so small affect his job and life.

kaylee camis

i feel like this was her dream and once she found out she could never achieve it she didn’t want to live to see it die. i feel that she felt the weight of all she was carrying for so long in that moment. incredibly painful for everyone. :(

Nat Chisholm

Morgan & Kerri - I had a baby about 7 months ago and it was totally amazing. I know that’s cliche. My pregnancy was good, other than some nausea. Worked until 3 days before birth. I was in labour 18 hours start to finish and my baby made it all so so worth it. I mean none of it was comfortable at the time but my daughter is so worth every single second

Taryn

I ADORE your lil “Pohw Pohw Pohw” singing in the beginning 🩵 always puts me in a good mood!

Zoe Bizoe

If it makes you guys feel any better, my first baby was induced and didn’t even take 24 hours. Only got a couple of stitches. My second took one push and didn’t require any stitches! It’s not always a scary experience. But pregnancy was pure hell lmfaoooo

Dharma Marquardt

I feel like Food Lion gives off Target vibes. Working at Target was a TRIP

Dharma Marquardt

This is absolutely Food Lion energy in the first story. I’ve lived in NC for 13 years and avoid food lion at all costs. 😅😂

Caitlin Pinkerton

I’m stealing “swag juice” from Justin

Cedar Kenny

Me 27 weeks pregnant listening to this and now I’m scared 😂

Lyndsey Owens

Alex I think we may be the same person … lol

NYRangersJess

food lion activity forreal 😂

Julia Townley

HAHAHA NOT SKITTY KITTY (I feel you with food lion😂)

Kim J

My grandmother really struggles that I've decided I won't be having kids. She wants me specifically to give her grandkids. Even offered to raise my child for the first 6 years because she thought that was my hold up 😅 my two other cousins are in very long term relationships and I'm notoriously single

Alex Scott

Couldn’t agree more !

NYRangersJess

Hahaha that was the intent. You may get a calming feeling once you’re ready to conceive and have the baby in your belly because you know it’s gotta come out one way or another. I think there is a birth story podcast available too it’s Australian but the stories are still the same as the US I would assume, similar standard of health care just one free and the other not

Vic

100%!! just be careful not to get in the tub too early into labor because being submerged in water can stop contractions if you’re not far enough along and will set you back! That’s why I opted for the shower bc you’re not fully emerged and it won’t mess with your contractions!

Cassie White

Oooo that's good to know shower helped. I really want to soak in a tub until go time go time. This is making me feel so much better!

Two Hot Takes

Toddler stage is worse than birth haha why does that make me feel so much better about birth 😂

Two Hot Takes

My experience, the most painful part was contractions, pushing the baby out was the better part because you were pushing through the pain. 2 kids completely drug free, breathing is key and moving around. Second child complete inducement and first kid hooked up to oxytocin drip for a little bit. However everyone is different. And complications happen or pain is different. I did feel scared for years and years but you do forget it. Definitely feel so amazing afterwards. Toddler stage is worse than child birth hahaha

Vic

Incoming- positive birth story: I had an amazing and beautiful birth of my daughter. I was in active labor for less than two hours. I pushed 4 times and only for 16 minutes. The only thing that hurt were the contractions before hand. The actual pushing relieved the pain. Also, I gave birth naturally and would do it again after having that experience. All the pain endured was instantly forgotten when I held my baby. One big help during labor was the shower. It took away nearly all the pain of contractions 💓 If/when you have kids… you’ve got this!!

Cassie White

Total mental illness. This was her break.

Two Hot Takes

ugh that would've been so hard losing your dog, I'm sorry. Contractions felt like farts.. sounds like a dream.

Two Hot Takes

food lion is a cursed place

Kara

For the one where she wanted her daughter to have kids . It’s a strange things with moms, I’m not even sure the mom did planned her life to be a grandma .. I had a hysterectomy at 42, no kids , my mom has other grandkids and still has a hard time telling people or talking about it ..I also don’t think the mom did what she did as a manipulation, the reaction that mom had was a total mental illness…

NYRangersJess

Besides losing my dog the morning I went into labor, my birth went amazing. 10 hrs, perfect epidural, contractions felt like farts. It was honestly not the hardest thing I've done by any means ❤️ sometimes it's okay lol

Sara Myers

Regarding the last one- one of my best friends goes by her first name with most people, but her family/partner call her by her middle name! It’s not weird at all and even when I hangout with her partner we call her our respective known names and it’s just no big deal

Danyelle young

So accurate with the food lion. I could tell so many stories.

Jackson Green

Oh I know what food lion is lol and I’m also from North Carolina. It’s a pretty trashy grocery store. Also saw Chappell Roan in Asheville this past week! She was incredible!! I’m obsessed

Sammie Reilly

Go on this sub! https://www.reddit.com/r/noburp/ This is how kerri learned about it and went to that doctor!

Two Hot Takes

My friends a nursing student and during clinical there was a patient that had their baby and didn’t even know they delivered! Also LOVE these episodes with Kerrie and hope we get to hear more from her

Rachel Skinner

Burp surgery is scary sounding though. Surgeries freak me out in general

Hannah

Wait so I’ve never burped either and I’m always so bloated… I’m 23. Thinking about seeing a doctor now…

Hannah

Food Lion was the first store that popped into my head.😭😭 so random

Makyla

oh this episode is gonna be wild huh

T.K.A

I work for a corporate restaurant, and this would NOT fly, people would DEFINITELY get fired, especially the manager. This sounds like a small store, so firing everyone wouldn't be ideal. Barbara and Carl for the WIN! I'm so glad that assistant manager got suspended because it's was 1000% unprofessional. And the owner paying him for the time he took off is amazing!

Ashley Gough

I NEVER burped until my early 20s! Not by choice, I wanted to sooo bad (mostly because I thought burps were funny💀) but I physically could not. I actually think it was kombucha that triggered my burp system lmfao maybe that’s why I like it so much. Anyway I was sooo excited for my first burp like goal accomplished✅✅✅

Cedar Kenny

I know it’s been a busy month Morgan! Thank you for getting this up, I appreciate you 💖

Lyndsey Owens

I need to see one of these in person now lol

Two Hot Takes

No Kerri js spot on — that one story is Food Lion energy

Cienna Tilgner

Yay more to listen to at work!

Hailey Marie

Thank you for all the effort that you and Justin do for us!! Excited to hear this!!! ^_^
