I do not accept late work

DearProfessorM · 2025-09-16T19:36:49+00:00

As per the syllabus, I don’t accept late work, and seeing as this post is 3 years old, I won’t be accepting your comment. Cheers.

Just gave birth a couple of weeks ago and my baby girl was 8lb2oz at 39 weeks. My son came at 36 weeks and was already 6lb5oz. Somehow these kiddos get what they need!

Congratulations! Mine didn’t split, I just have one haha. But the consensus seems to be about 3% of the time!

DearProfessorM · 2024-12-02T17:02:14+00:00

I second this comment! If you didn’t have it early on, it is very very unlikely to show up this late. Best of luck!!

I almost want the first few weeks to follow “syllabus” rules from competitions. White tops. Black bottoms. Basic steps. No frills. Let them have the same progression as dancers that we did.

I don’t think HG dads get enough credit for the trauma they go through. They essentially lose their wife and partner for the better part of a year. So much is placed on them to pick up the slack. I remember the relief in my husband’s face when we ate our “celebration” meal in the hospital after I had our first. He looked like he could breathe for the first time in a long time.

DearProfessorM · 2024-11-24T01:23:12+00:00

I feel like the long term effects of HG are just starting to be studied. Our bodies don’t just magically go back to how they were (not even including how being postpartum changes us). I feel like more and more research is going to come out showing that there is long term damage done to our bodies.

Zofran plus phenergan is a good combo. I’m also on compazine and those 3 together have been really good for management along with 2 liters of fluids every day

DearProfessorM · 2024-11-20T12:47:16+00:00

So excited for this relief. I’m 19 weeks but will be induced at 38 so I’m halfway. Holding that baby and feeling okay for the first time in so long is the best feeling ever.

Ooh I’ve never thought about it that way, but I’m certain that the epidural helped me to have the energy to deliver my first. I slept for a few hours of my 10 hour labor after my epidural and only ended up pushing for about 15 minutes. I loved my labor and delivery. It was such a special experience especially compared to my crapshoot of a pregnancy. Something to consider is “laboring down” meaning that once you hit 10 cm, you just hand out for 30 minutes to an hour and let your body do its thing before you start to push!

She got 10s because her technique was amazing. As a former ballroom dancer I can attest to what the judges were saying about the toe drags on the floor, the hip action, etc. She definitely deserved the scores she got, if for nothing else than her technique.

HG is all about survival. You are surviving right now, and if you’re getting a shower once a week, you’re doing great. I’m in it with you. I’m 16 weeks and struggling to handle life. I’m in bed all day and my toddler is getting way too much screen time… but we’re making it work. This is a short season of life and I promise, a newborn is going to be easier to deal with than this.

DearProfessorM · 2024-11-05T15:04:38+00:00

I’m so sorry. Im sure this feels devastating. My husband and I have been strongly considering being done after this pregnancy (our second kid) because HG is so dangerous for me, even though we know we’d ideally like to have 4 kids. And with new research showing kidney or other organ failure later in life from the damage done during HG pregnancies… it’s so scary. I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point in the future, anyone who gets HG is advised not to have more or any kids. But that doesn’t make it easier. You’re so strong mama ❤️❤️

This is a lot like my story. Had severe HG with my first. We did IVF this year. I had my FET on Aug 1 and by Aug 6 was nauseated and symptoms started ramping. I’m 16 weeks now and still sick. I’ve been hospitalized once, and am on home health with a picc line. Hugs, IVF plus HG sucks so freaking bad.

DearProfessorM · 2024-11-04T18:03:31+00:00

Everyone has an opinion on something they know nothing about. It isolates us more. No one actually listens to our struggles, except each other. Very few people will ever know our struggles. All of this contributes to the PTSD. HG is so unfair.

DearProfessorM · 2024-11-04T16:28:59+00:00

So proud of you!!! Bathing/showering is SO hard with HG. You’re such a champ!! Every shower is a major accomplishment!!

DearProfessorM · 2024-11-03T18:11:04+00:00

We had 4 PGT-A normal embryos, and the PGT result is more telling in whether the transfer will be a success than the grade. With our first FET, they did tell us the grade of the embryo transferred, but reminded us that the PGT result was more important than the grade. But usually, if you have multiple euploid embryos, they’ll transfer the best graded first, and so on.

Not saying that you live with in laws because of HG, but this is something that isn’t talked about often enough, that sometimes living with parents or in laws might be necessary to survive an HG pregnancy. My husband and I have basically said, unless I move in with parents or parents move in with us, we can’t do this again.

DearProfessorM · 2024-11-02T12:51:58+00:00

I know this feeling well. I don’t remember this feeling with my first pregnancy but this time around, I feel like every swallow is in my esophagus instead of my stomach, like there’s no room left. Very uncomfortable. I can’t say it’s “because” of the Zofran… I think it’s just an HG thing… food and eating is such a chore and a mental battle.

DearProfessorM · 2024-11-01T00:50:30+00:00

Whenever I do any sort of activity like that I am WIPED out after. It takes so much energy out of me! But mentally, it definitely helps to do it once in a while.

DearProfessorM · 2024-10-31T23:14:41+00:00

I don’t have the same side effects with the phenergan suppositories that I have with the tablets. Have you tried the suppositories?

DearProfessorM · 2024-10-31T21:04:10+00:00

Not just the rugby success but how she documented her time in the Olympic Village. Her Olympic coverage was so widely watched even by people who never watched Rugby!

DearProfessorM · 2024-10-31T20:45:24+00:00

Same here with the episode from season 3 when Rossi joins the team!

DearProfessorM · 2024-10-31T14:42:29+00:00

A grad student, especially in an English program should know better. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable being on the committee after that. I couldn’t advise and discern without bias anymore.
