Welcome to this week’s round of best and worst, a post that’s become a much-loved tradition here at Mamamia. It’s been chilly out there, so rug up, put your feet up and share the best and worst bits of your week with us.
This week on Mamamia has been huge – on the news front, we’ve looked at feminism as well as the debate over the link between pubic hair and cervical cancer. It’s also been a big week for relationships -we chatted about the secrets of loved up couples, discussed what might have been the weirdest royal wedding ever and flicked through the photos from Kate Moss’ wedding.
We talked about health anxiety and women lying about their weight, as well as oral sex and the other side of Katie Price. We also read about a great cause for this month’s First Wednesday Club.
We chatted about the worst sounds in the world, as well as the song lyrics we remember and how much money we need. We also debated whether we believe in fate or coincidence and told kids to go out and climb a tree.
We read some great stories from our contributors this week- one man’s beautiful and moving account of dealing with the loss of a child, another man’s account of how it gets better, and a fascinating look at behind the scenes in breakfast radio.
We also launched the Mamamia job board this week, so go over and take a peek.
If you’re looking for some great quick recaps on what’s been happening in the news this week, you can go here, here, here, here or even here. And to find out what Mia and the rest of the team has been up to, take a look here.

Best by far: Birth of my beautiful baby boy this week, who is healthy and amazing.
Worst: Ummmmmm, incontinence. Jeez, I know we're supposed to do pelvic floor excercises but I don't think I ever actually expected bloody incontinence. It is incredibly humiliating. Especially when I asked my husband to get some pads for this *ahem* condition but he came back with adult nappies. I cried. Again.
OMM: Along with so much else that comes with pregnancy and birth (particularly loss - loss of baby, sometimes loss of identity (or part thereof), why is this not really discussed? Most of my friends have had babies already - and usually 3 or 4 pregnancies - yet none have mentioned urinary incontinence....but, I guess, I don't even want my husband knowing about it, let alone every nurse that visits, AND my friends..... The physio told me that daily excercises should see me regain control in 3 weeks. THREE WEEKS!!!!!!! Fabulous.
Love to those doing it tough. I know this is a fwp. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? xxx
Worst: Boring old work trivialities and wanting to find a better job where I feel more valued than where I currently am. So I am visualising it and channeling all my energy into finding it now!!
Best: Amazing friends. So, so lucky!
Here's to a fab week MM-ers xx
