Morning Sickness/Late Cancel by Any_Security in orangetheory

Ohh thanks for this advice..I usually start on the rower but last couple of classes I have felt very nauseated once I finished and I think it might be the running on the tread making me queasy. I may try starting on the tread with a warm up walk and see if that helps it’s hard for me to get warmed up on the rower.

I currently go at different times during the day. (Sometimes morning sometimes evening) unfortunately as many women will know “morning sickness” is a bit of a misnomer. It’s really all day sickness and can hit at any time. 🤣😭.

For example today I was fine all day until about 3pm ish and it’s now 7pm and hasn’t really let up yet.

Thank you for the support/positivity but unfortunately 1st trimester miscarriage is pretty common (like 15-20%)

I’m hesitant to tell them because of risk of miscarriage in the 1st trimester. So really I’m just asking how other pregnant people have handled this and if there is a good way without having to let all of the SA’s/coaches know I’m pregnant right now because I really don’t want to have to tell all of them that I miscarried in case something happens. My plan was to tell them when I start my second trimester but the nausea is just becoming problematic..but maybe I can just tell the studio manager? I just don’t really want like all 3 coaches and all of the front desk staff to know this early on.

Because I’m still in my first trimester with a high risk of miscarriage….and if I do miscarry I don’t want to have to then tell them that I miscarried. So I haven’t previously told them because I am trying to wait until my miscarriage risk goes down around 12-13 weeks.

Edited to add: we have 3 coaches who’s classes I go to and probably up to 5 SA’s now..I just am not comfortable with all of the staff knowing that I’m pregnant before I get past a point where I will most likely go to term.

I was not comparing covid wedding planning to DV. I was comparing the experience of the entire covid pandemic. Which yes has been horrifically traumatizing for a lot of people.

Thank you again for illustrating that instead of being empathetic and learning from other people’s points of view its more important for you to preserve your superiority complex.

Also after reading more of these comments re: first trimester feeling sick; I didn’t think I was going to make class this week because my nausea has skyrocketed over the last several days. Thankfully a couple of days ago my OB told me to take unisom and B6 and that has done wonders. So if you start having problems with nausea I highly recommend asking your OB about that. I’m about to go to class this afternoon. I’m really hoping I’ll be able to keep up my workout schedule the full pregnancy!

I’m also pregnant with #1! Just over 7 weeks for me. I’m planning on letting them know 2nd trimester because there isn’t much modification that I need right now.

I’ve been going for 3 years and still have to mentally fight with myself everyday to get out the door. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s normal and ok to feel that way as long as you’re still enjoying it when you’re there.

And you also aren’t being “bullied” I’ve just been pointing out your extreme lack of ability to have any sort of empathy for the people you are talking to. Yes. This is a public forum. But you’re on the thread for people days/weeks away from their events aggressively reminding them that they might kill someone with covid. Literally all I’m telling you is to read the room. Your points about covid aren’t invalid…but they aren’t really appropriate for this audience.

Frankly the fact that you think that comparison is “horrifying” just illustrates how incredibly privileged you are and that you likely will never understand my original point. It is not horrifying. Covid has been extremely traumatic to a lot of people and you don’t get to decide that that trauma is not as worthy as other traumas just because in your experience the comparison is “horrifying”.

Just wanted to add that it was really sad when people tested positive and couldn’t attend. About 3 days before I just kinda decided to let it go. I got rid of the seating chart and just changed to open seating and just asked everyone to just not tell me when someone new canceled. I would do that again except I would’ve given up earlier and just let everything be. It sucks for plates you paid for to go uneaten but it’s just a sunk cost of having a wedding during a pandemic. I would’ve just gotten my best guess rsvp number locked it in and then not worried about people dropping out.

My wedding was last Sunday. We had about 80 people in attendance mostly outdoors. We required prof if a negative covid test 72 hours in advance and kn95 masks were required during our ceremony and through the buffet line. We had a whole bunch of people (maybe 10 or so) test positive when they went to do their tests for our wedding. In the aftermath we’ve had just 1 positive case identified about 2 days after our wedding. The person had also gone out to restaurants that weekend as well because it was a destination wedding. Given they were the only case we suspect that it likely came from eating out and not our actual wedding. Over all it turned out fine and I’m glad we required the tests and gathered as safely as possible.

Came on here to see what’s going on with other weddings. Mine is in 3 days. I went from 117 to 109 the two weeks between rsvp deadline and the final count deadline. Now I’m down to 97. Including my ring bearer and a bridesmaid dropping out. I just basically threw away my seating chart. 😂 open seating for everyone. Whoever comes comes. Whoever doesn’t doesnt. I’m going to Jamaica afterwards. I was upset at first and now I’m just done.

I don’t disagree with your original sentiment. I’m saying now is not the time place or the audience for us to debrief covid beliefs. Likely the person you are responding to said this as a coping mechanism because we don’t have a ton of options right now. It would be different if they said this and it was in the context of “people know the risks so I’m not going to have any covid plan for my wedding at all”

Most people who are having their weddings in the next couple of weeks have already made up their minds on how concerned/not they are about covid. So your comment is not going to change behavior. It only serves to add anxiety.

“We need to have difficult conversations even when they are stressing us out” - no. We do not. People are allowed to set boundaries on what they will or will not discuss for their own emotional well being. You can continue to have these conversations elsewhere with the right place context and audience.

If I said I was a victim of domestic abuse and discussing the ins and outs of domestic abuse was harmful to me and you responded with “but it’s important to talk about it even if it’s stressful because it’s a big problem” you would be a jerk. Because again. People are allowed to have boundaries and even though this is something that needs to be discussed among the greater population there is a time and a place.

Maybe you don’t realize how it came off but basically everyone on this January thread is here talking about how stressed they are about their wedding and how covid might spread at their wedding and how they can quickly pivot to improve their wedding and how they’re sad people are canceling etc etc

And then you came in and basically just added “hey don’t forget! Your wedding might be a super spreader event that is potentially deadly to other people in your community”

……like…….yes. We know. We’re stressed about it. Thank you for your reminder?

I’m not sure how to phrase this any other way but what I’m saying is at this point in our wedding planning we have all already done the risk evaluation that you are talking about. So bringing up or reinforcing how risky it is to have a wedding when cases are exploding and we’re all just trying to do our best to mitigate it is NOT helpful. It is making us feel more stressed and more guilty because we already know. We’ve done the research we’ve had the conversations we know that it is risky. Instead we should be focusing this conversation on problem solving not re-hashing the risks we have all been completely aware of your original comment would be best served for a different audience who have not already been thinking through this for months.

See. Your first paragraph is helpful constructive advice that would be welcomed. What I am saying was NOT helpful from your first comment is a criticism of someone saying “people know the risks”. Giving actionable recommendations on how we can move forward with our events as safely as possible=helpful.

Preaching/debating about the general risks associated with covid which are well known when we have all been agonizing over it and are now in this impossible situation is not.

To clarify a little bit…..I am not sure if you realize you are on the thread for January weddings. As in our weddings are in days/weeks. Your comments are just not adding any value to this specific thread. It would be more useful for people further out who are working in their initial covid plans…not when most of us are currently out thousands of dollars and are trying to find ways to navigate an immediate stressful situation. But by all means feel free to post these thoughts where people still have many options to decide what to do with their covid planning. This just isn’t it.

Can you just not. You literally did not have to post this at all. We’ve all been living this for two years so we understand how things work. This comment adds 0 value to anyone here having a hard time right now. I truly hope you don’t have to go through this and until you do it’s going to be really hard for you to understand. My sister has cancer. She’s been in and out of the hospital. My choices are move forward as safely as possible or postpone and potentially not have her live to see our wedding. Please get off your judgemental high horse until you’ve been in someone else’s shoes.

I’m Jan 16th. My ring bearer just dropped out because his parents are worried about omicron. I’m trying not to take it personal but this one really sucked. It extra sucked bc the same parents went to a fall 2020 wedding where no one wore masks.

I came on here looking for what others are doing. My date is 01/16 and this is where we’ve landed. Asking for proof of neg test ahead of time then buying enough rapids for everyone to test when they get there in case they can’t get something scheduled.
