Evolution is a Science term that I was never really taught much about. Schools touch on this topic on Biology courses in a very subtle manner, if you ask me, or at least this was the case when I was a kid.

I had very little nausea, I was able to exercise until the sixth month, and excluding a few Braxton Hicks contractions, the entire pregnancy was a breeze. Labor on … Continue reading The parent gene
