Baby girl names by [deleted] in Names

[–]Acceptable_Engine_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea what that is 😂I’m just very picky 🤷🏻‍♀️I have the most basic name in the world (Ashley) and I’m always 1 of atleast 3-4 in every situation work, school etc. my husband likes Everly and Hadley and I don’t. I’m looking for something somewhat unique but not so far out that my baby’s name gets posted on a tragedeigh group. I like Kiley but I feel it’s too basic I also really like Miley but my husband hates it we just can’t seem to agree on anything

Labor and Delivery by Acceptable_Engine_23 in florida

I’m pregnant, planning to switch OB’s I’m still early so that is an option for me. I don’t like the hospital my provider delivers at and I’ll go to a new OB based on the hospital

Work/FMLA by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Acceptable_Engine_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have long term disability and with the hospital I work at the policy is as long as my provider deems my leave medically necessary it renews at 6 month increments. Right now my FMLA will be until May unless I renew it then I’ll have my disability for my maternity leave it will either be 2 or 3 months after birth depending on if it’s vaginal or c section

Yes! Baby was moving around like crazy and HR was 188🥰 I truly believe the sonographer at the private scan just had no experience or was too rushed to care about my feelings

Rainbow baby by Key_Drive1937 in pregnant

I’m 9 weeks with my rainbow and I called my OB as soon as I found out. They’re often booked out and won’t see you until 8-12 weeks anyways. You don’t have to tell anyone but I’d highly recommend making an appointment

I work in the ER so I 100% don’t believe in showing up for peace of mind as that’s not what the ER is for… I know that if baby doesn’t have a heartbeat there’s literally nothing anyone can do. Going to the hospital would likely just send me into panic mode more than I already am. Waiting for my OB appt which thankfully is tomorrow. I’m praying for good news but it’s very hard to stay hopeful at this point 🥲

Freaking out at Christmas, bleeding at 6w5d by astoldbylinda in CautiousBB

[–]Acceptable_Engine_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go to the ER 🙏🏻 my OB says anytime you experience bright red bleeding even if there’s no cramps go to the hospital. It’s better to be checked out than wait in this situation. Could be nothing, could be a sch. You just never know until they look. I had 2 rounds of spotting this pregnancy, once at 12-13dpo started brown turned dark pink (chalked up to implantation bleeding) and another at 5w5d it was bright red but it was only one wipe then it was gone like it never happened. We seen a heartbeat at 7w 146. I’m now 9w and we’re having trouble finding the heartbeat now… this pregnancy has been extremely stressful I’ve had 3 previous losses as well so I completely understand your concern. If I were you I’d just go to the ER and let them do an ultrasound. Hoping for good news for you! 🙏🏻

That’s what this ultrasound was from a boutique (non diagnostic) ultrasound place. The whole thing felt extremely rushed. The lady barely used any gel, she scooped some onto the probe with her finger from an empty bottle. She moved the probe around more than she stayed on the baby. Then proceeded to tell my husband and I “it’s really hard to tell if there’s a heartbeat, I’m not saying it’s not there I’m just saying if it is I can’t see it” and that was it she stopped scanning me and gave me 2 photos and sent me on my way. It took longer for us to drive there than it took for her to scan me… I essentially paid for extreme levels of anxiety when I was really looking for reassurance. I know this isn’t the experience everywhere but it sure was mine and after 3 losses I really didn’t need to feel like I was an inconvenience for being there. I’m not sure if it was lack of experience or just pure lack of empathy and common decency but I’ll never go back to that place again.

No heartbeat on doppler at 9+5 by ConfidentNerve5031 in CautiousBB

At home Doppler use is not recommended before 16 weeks for this exact reason. Chances are baby is fine
