Human reproduction is commonly portrayed as a gigantic marathon swimming event in which the fastest, fittest s***m wins the race and prize of fertilising the egg. Yet another male dominated fantasy about the creation of life. The notion that human s***m once ej******ed, begin a frantic race to reach the egg has completely overshadowed the real story of reproduction.
A 2020 study revealed that in fact there is a communication system between the EGG and s***m. The egg has the ability to repel certain s***m with a molecular mechanism causing them to swim slower and also attract certain s***m by releasing a chemoattractant helping them move faster. Cervical mucus called L- Mucus helps filter out any low quality s***m, Bye Boy!
In the study Fitzpatrick is quoted "Follicular fluid from one female was better at attracting s***m from one male, while follicular fluid from another female was better at attracting s***m from a different male…. This shows that interactions between human eggs and s***m depend on the specific identity of the women and men involved."
Once SHE makes her choice and the s***m begins to pe*****te the egg, the egg then releases a chemical response that causes all of the other s***m's heads to pop off. Yep, mass decapitation. ⠀
And to keep things in perspective, the male s***m is the smallest cell in the human body while the female egg is the largest...

Copied and pasted this from another Michigan midwife. Can anyone confirm or share their hospital birth costs?

"'Homebirth is expensive!'
I had a Mennonite couple hire me today who do not have health insurance (they don't want it) who got a quote from hospital providers for prenatal care and a vaginal hospital birth: $14,000.

I experienced a "first" this morning. Helped a mama birth her baby in the back seat of the car on the way to the hospital. Baby and mama were fine, so we went back home.

Birth is a miracle. Every single time. Once in a while we get the honor of being with a family for a second time. ❤️❤️

I did 3 home visits this morning and had to slow down on the road for a deer, a chicken, a turkey, and a cat. LOVE that country driving though!
