Just When Couple Finally Stops Stressing About Having A Baby, They're Still Not Pregnant

[Anonymous]

Much appreciated humor from The Onion

HENDERSON, NV—After finally deciding to relax and not worry so much about having a baby, local couple Aaron Leonard and Shelley Akers announced Tuesday that at long last they remained no closer to conceiving a child. "After more than two years of trying to get pregnant, we decided not to put so much pressure on ourselves—and wouldn't you know it, still nothing happened," said Akers, 32, adding that you can never predict when God will choose to continue withholding His blessing. "I guess it's one of those situations where you're not expecting anything and then, totally out of the blue, you don't get it." Akers added that, for a while, she had actually begun to think her husband might be sterile, and that she was still very much leaning in that direction.

I posted earlier that my mom told me this weekend that infertility is not such a big deal, that we should just go on vacation and get drunk. UGH.

when i got pregnant my ob said "see, look what happens when you relax." i wanted to say, "dude, i never f-ing stopped worrying and stressing." i don't hate my ob, but i do hate it when people say shit like that. take care.

People are so clueless. I mean, would our insurance pay for these expensive treatments if yoga and meditation would do the trick? Jeez.

Well, I know at least two 40-year olds who went on vacation to a tropical island and both got pregnant. My 40-year old co-worker came back from a two-week cruise and got pregnant the following month. My husband and I haven't tried this approach yet, but after 4 years and bunch of failed fertility treatments are willing to give "try to relax, get drunk and see what happens" a shot

Haha! Love it, OP.

Sadly, DH and I tried for a year and then finally went on vacation and got drunk...and that's when it happened. It was such a cliche.

the month i finally got pregnant, i was particularly pissed off and cynical. i even told my husband that i was going to get drunk b/c "what's the point, it's not like i'm pregnant or anything."

I have a cousin who wore a green shirt when he bought a lottery ticket and won $20K...if I could just remember to wear a green shirt I'm sure I would win $20K too.
