Yes, Tiger Woods Cheated, on his Pregnant Wife
With all the attention on Tiger’s indiscretions, one aspect of his wrongdoing hasn’t received much attention. He has two kids: a two year old and a nine month old. His affair with Jaime Grubbs lasted 31 months. This means Tiger cheated before, during and after his wife’s second pregnancy. Cheating on a pregnant woman is the worst, don’t you think?

A new study showed that an MRI is a highly accurate means of identifying placenta accreta, a potentially life-threatening and increasingly common condition that is the leading cause of death for women just before and after giving birth.

Three months of a few extra bug bites is something any woman can handle.
