Oh my god! At least she's taken Bertie this time, I suppose.

I’m not someone who’s overly obsessed with carbon footprints but hers is obscene.

Good to see Run Walk Beans was gifted a place in the 5km and now has yellow pompoms in hand to cheer for the marathon runners.It can’t be classed as a major marathon without beans being either gifted a place or shaking her pompoms.
I’m sure Junior Beans will not be unsettled at all by the flying and time difference

Poor Charlie struggling to enjoy marathon spectating because she had to bring her child.

She is such a Debbie downer when she has to actively parent her son.
Marathon spectating can be pretty fun for kids - noise and pom poms! There’s a way to make it fun for all involved but all she sees is failure because she can’t do it uninterrupted. The glass is never half full when Bertie is around.
NYC is a lot easier to spectate than London too, just less crowded generally.

Honestly, she’s such a Debbie Downer anyway. Boring and average and all she does is moan. Her page is pointless.

Pregnancy is potentially about to get a lot riskier in the states. I wonder if she'll still get a US surrogate?

She said she was going to use the same surrogate this time.

Facts!
she barely trains, barely works and barely looks after her child

She'd better get going with a surrogate now. IVF and surrogacy will likely no longer be an option in the US. Pregnancy is already very risky.

How come? Not an area I know anything about, just find it all a bit brain scrambly.

Abortion (and related miscarriage care) has been banned or greatly restricted in many states over the past two years. Infant mortality and pregnancy-related death rates have increased. IVF might be banned when the new administration takes over.

I think the IVF ban would relate to creating embryos, I don't know if it will affect already created embryos being used, especially as they are their own embryos, not donor. A worry time whatever happens.

Embryos would take on personhood, I believe.
It would mean scenarios like:
- Embryo is defrosted and clearly not viable as the cells haven’t expanded. Too bad, they have to transfer it anyway and waste your time. I had tit tons of very unpleasant drugs to get my uterus to calm down and accept an embryo. Having to do it all for a non viable embryo would have been bad for me mentally and physically.
- Frozen embryos could not be destroyed (I hate that word) once you’ve completed your family. You would need to either pay storage indefinitely perpetuity, or give them up for “adoption”. I certainly don’t want my living child to potentially have a full sibling that she’ll never meet.
- Genetic testing of embryos would be difficult. People screen to avoid embryos with no chance of pregnancy, or for specific familial conditions they are hoping to avoid (eg cystic fibrosis). You wouldn’t be allowed to discard these embryos and you would have to transfer them before you were allowed to undergo further egg collections.
