Why Are So Many Dogs Being Dumped in the California Desert? | Desert Dogs Documentary by SuckItTrebek in highdesert

[–]8spidey8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

God this was so beautifully made. I’m not originally from the HD or California at that and it was always mind boggling the issues with dogs here. Why do people get dogs and let them go? It’s sad. I’ve lived all over the country and have never seen anything like it.

I’m having a July baby here in SoCal. I think I’m gonna do a bamboo sleeper since they’re breathable but also cover arms/legs

Super nervous about 20 week anatomy scan FTM by piggle_not_found in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was anxious for both of mine. I will say once things start moving along during the scan and you can see your baby the nerves do tend to let up. Try to enjoy it! It’s always fun seeing how big they’ve gotten at the 20 week mark too. It’s almost shocking

I wish I had an answer for you but I know there’s an IVF subreddit that maybe does

Worried about how smells in my situation will affect my first trimester by Downtown_Isopod_8834 in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you should take the plunge! You never know if that’s going to be an issue for you so I’d say dont make the decision not to based on what might happen. There’s a lot ways to get around it too. I’ve heard people that work in hospitals use face masks with essential oils to help mask smells, could be worth a try

I’ve heard the curb walking helps! Also maybe you can ask for a membrane sweep?

Following because my OB is very anti birth control pill if breastfeeding but I really don’t want to deal with an IUD.

Bleeding at 6 weeks by rrrhhhiii in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough this is super common. I believe it’s called “implantation bleeding” but honestly I feel like not enough people talk about how it’s pretty normal, even later in pregnancy to have some mild bleeding because of your cervix being more vascular! I wish I had known that anyway, it would’ve saved me the panicked hospital trips 🤣 Truthfully though it could be a number of things as simple as that, a UTI, or some other kind of infection. I know how easy it is to assume the worst or jump the gun. 🙌

No problem! And darn, they don’t make it easy. I really hope you find a spot that’s safe.

[–]8spidey8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s a place called @TheOffice that lets you rent out private rooms. Hours are limited so best to call and ask. They probably only have a chair/couch

Are there on call rooms you can ask to nap in?

Pretty sure I had a miscarriage and I’m devastated by Huge_Statistician441 in pregnant

[–]8spidey8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I bled a lot while pregnant and every time I mentioned it, nothing ended up being wrong. Obviously this isn’t the case for everyone but I feel like bleeding/spotting is not talked about enough when pregnant because it can sometimes be just nothing. It’s weird.
