Niall singing you and I choruses bc Harry wasn’t back from getting changed in time…Harry didn’t get changed tho :/

Everybody says that Niall has such a weak voice and he doesn’t matter to the band but all they hear are the solos in songs and most of those solos are (NO OFFENCE) meant for someone with a relatively weakish voice but if you actually let Niall sing a whole song live his true voice comes out. He has an AMAZINGLY strong voice and KILLS every song he sings! Like literally compare his normal solo in the song to what he just sang. He wasn’t meant to sing the solos he does honestly. He was meant to sing parts of the song where he can use his voice to its full potential! Niall is an amazing singer and a voice that strong deserves to be heard everywhere!💜

^^^^^^THIS!!! THIS!!!!

(i’m going to use this post for future reference, I hope it’s all right)

He needs to be given space to use his full potential. Seriously, just listen to his solos in Midnight Memories and Why Don’t We Go There.

And also this:

Niall singing Harry’s part in Rock Me

Niall singing Home by Michael Buble(I still laugh when I see Zayn’s reaction:D )

Niall singing Use Somebody (aka the video that made me fall in love with Niall)

Niall singing A-team 

this is not particularly hard to sing but still- singing Harry’s part in WMYB

Niall and his famous Little Things performance when he was back home for Greg’s wedding so his voice is of course a bit strained due to wedding party :D BUT STILL! LISTEN!

In conclusion, give him good material and boy he will deliver!

i feel the need to add this: Niall singing Haven’t Met You Yet by Michael Buble

Niall changing the notes in his Little White Lies solo a bit

Niall’s breath control lesson from the X-Factor (watch from minute 1:56, or you know what, watch the whole video cos Niall is so precious and it’s been far too long since you last watched this)

Niall singing Beautiful Girl/Stand By Me (with Liam)

or basically listen to any of his solos on FOUR.

Steal My Girl (from minute 0:50 to 0:56 and 1:58 to 2:04. watch this or any other live performance, really)

Night Changes Acoustic (from minute 1:33 , or watch any other live version)

His solo in WDBHG - if you want to blame him for the last bits of his solo, where he might miss a note or two, please listen to Harry’s part before announcing Ronnie, where his voice does exactly the same thing as Niall’s - and remember that it is completely normal for their voices to have some weaker moments, also caused by extreme excitement or nervousness, and we all know that especially Niall gets very nervous before X Factor performances or similar. We all know these boys have amazing vocals, stop putting them down.

reblog if ur mom is smart and beautiful

This is one of my favorite sites on here because everyone who reblogged it truly believes it because their moms won’t actually see it

Another woman utterly failed by our society’s devaluation of women’s reproductive health. We can’t wait around for male doctors to decide what we need to know. This is why we need to take control and educate ourselves about our own bodies.

and here’s some comments i saw under the post. why is this a pattern?? why is this a recurring theme?? why is this information not common knowledge? what the fuck are doctors doing??

This is news to me so let’s share it so people will know!

Gross tmi: but i passed a pretty big clot after having my daughter. It was about the size of a baseball. It actually hurt worse because while 15 hours of labor opened my cervix, i passed the clot in 30 minutes. I knew it was a possibility because of my midwife and reading, but everyone Ive told after this (mostly other pregnant women) were shocked that this could happen.

In our culture, it’s much more common to do deep research about what family cars we want to buy than we do about childbirth when we ’re pregnant.

Tmi: I passed a huge clot after birth in the bathroom of my hospital room and called the nurse sobbing because I didn’t know it was normal. She treated me like an idiot, but NO ONE told me it was a possibility. And the pain associated with healing for the first couple of weeks after birth was worse than the labor imo. Again, I had no idea. They didn’t tell me a thing besides “sitz bath regularly and change your pads.” Before discharging me from the hospital.

I was most definitely told about this in school. Fucking hell, 4-6 weeks of bleeding? My periods were/are bad enough, why the hell don’t we get told this?

I didn’t know it could last so long, wtf? Is the bleeding inevitable after birth? 

Bleeding is inevitable after birth - your uterine wall is shedding a fuck ton of lining. It can last from three to six weeks (possible longer) and it tapers off.

More TMI - I passed a MASSIVE clot after my fourth birth. At this point I already knew this could happen - it’s normal. What I DIDN’T know, was that I had caused it.

My post birth contractions were so bad after the birth that it felt like full transition labor. And they don’t give you anything for the pain. So I used a hot water bottle, without the nurses knowing, and it caused me to bleed even more. I lost so much blood that by the first time they sat me up to go to the bathroom, I fainted. It took three more tries until I could sit up.

Anyway, that’s not the point. The point is, the next morning I passed a clot the SIZE OF ANOTHER PLACENTA I KID YOU NOT, and I know what is and is not normal. So I called for the nurse and through the door told her I had passed a huge clot, and her response was - “It’s not big. I know what big is.” She hadn’t even looked. So I rolled my eyes and said, “Yeah, no. It’s big, I’m telling you.”

So, sounding extremely put upon, she asked me to open the door. I did, and after a long pause she goes, “Okay, yeah, that’s a little big.”

YOU DON’T SAY.

The point I’m trying to get across is that this shit is so common - women not knowing this stuff is so expected, and it keeps getting reinforced. People don’t expect you to know anything, don’t teach you anything, and then make you feel like you’re totally ignorant and a burden for your lack of knowledge when THEY WON’T SHARE.

Fucking learn EVERYTHING you can when it comes to childbirth, girls. It is the single most empowering thing you can do for yourself. And if you missed something, that’s okay. But the more knowledge you arm yourself with, the more in control of your situation you’ll be.

A few post partum tips:

This is just a few things, but PLEASE feel free to send me an ask if you have any questions about ANYTHING childbirth/pregnancy/nursing related. I have four incredible kids. I’ve done it all - c-section, vacuume birth, episiotimy, stitches, with an epidural, without an epidural. I’m here.

….I know I keep reblogging this but people keep adding super important information.

I feel like no one tells women this stuff because if a woman was even a little on the fence about having a baby before this would kinda make them run for the damn hills.

…..you are correct, typing.

300% EXTRA SURE I’M NOT HAVING BABIES. 

peri bottles, witch hazel or anti-pain anticeptic spray are your friends. Also passing large clots after birth is a WARNING SIGN. Bigger than a half dollar is a sign that you have not passed your entire placenta (this is most common in hospital vaginal births where the mother is not allowed to naturally birth the placenta and instead has it ripped out by the doctor) if there is any placenta left in your uterus you can get extremely ill. This happened to both myself and my mother in law

WOW I didn’t know any of this and I’m terrified of what more I’m unaware of about my own body :( Honestly when will we fucking abolish this taboo about the female body…

I had pretty great sex ed in school (lots of contraceptive information, and totally acknowledged that teenagers might have sex) and all of this is news to me.

And, as a 28-year-old person with a uterus, I’m extremely appalled I’m just learning this.

Long, but very important information, even for those who don’t plan to have children, because you will almost certainly know someone who will, and you might be able to to help them. Or at least increase your level of empathy for them.

The shit they don’t tell us.

i need more of this on my dash. 

This is just second nature to me because of my job, but I don’t remember where I learned it all. I’ve had moms that have no clue that you bleed after birth. They thought they were dying.

Wow. I never knew any of this

reblogging for signal boost

I wasn’t told this information until I was about 8 months pregnant. I was so surprised because even my own mother, who had given birth to 5 children, wasn’t the one to tell me about this kind of stuff. It’s scary how taboo women’s reproductive health really is.

Yeah, I REALLY don’t wanna have kids now.

i am normally a stickler for tagging things for xkit/tumblr saviour but i think every person with a uterus should read this because this is all new stuff to me and my school had pretty good sex ed

also i am now three billion percent certain i am never having children lmao

Holy shit I knew you bled a little bit after birth (my mum told me), but I had no IDEA it went on so long.

I’m so mad because this worked

…hoooooow lucky is roger

my granddad just called me to tell me how big his cauliflowers are growing and it was so cute theyre “TWICE as big as the ones you get in the shop”

i told my granddad this post has 3,500 notes and he said ‘who are they? do i know them?’ he wanted me to list everyone and see if he knew anyone

If you don’t reblog cauliflower granddad, then you’re just a mean person.

I don’t necessarily work ‘better under pressure’, I just literally will not work until I am under the extreme pressure of time constraints created by my own unnecessary procrastination
