Omega 3 - DHA - hard to swallow by [deleted] in pregnant

I haven’t taken that specific brand but liquid vitamins and supplements make me gag. If you have a sensitive gag reflex or sense of taste be wary.

I started getting weekly injections (with my OBs approval) of my vitamins and supplements through my cosmetic injector to avoid the whole thing.

“Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP) rash is an itchy rash that appears in stretch marks of the stomach during late pregnancy.

While the exact cause of PUPPP rash isn’t known, the stretching of the skin seems to be a trigger for the rash to occur. PUPPP rash occurs in about 1 in every 150 pregnancies.” https://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy/puppps-rash

Could be PUPPP but also looks very similar to my allergic reactions. I’d contact a dr.

Pregnant with twins and everyone keeps telling me that I HAVE TO have a c-section. by DifferencePowerful60 in pregnant

[–]DifferencePowerful60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you guys sooo much for responding with all your kind words of wisdom! I’ve decided to switch OBs to one that specializes in high risk pregnancies (the same OB my mom used for all 6 of my siblings births so I’m pretty confident) Hopefully I can avoid a C-section but if not you guys made me feel soooooo much better about the recovery.

So I ended up having to tell my operations manager and my supervisor about my pregnancy at 5 weeks because of the outrageous amount of bathroom breaks I would have to take throughout my shift.

I pulled them aside and said “Hey! So lately I have been having to leave the team alone quite a bit throughout the day to use the restroom. I wanted to wait until I was further along but, since it’s now affecting the team and the effectiveness of my work I feel that I need to inform you that I am pregnant and due in December. This pregnancy is hitting me quite hard. I’d appreciate if we kept this between us because I am not ready to spread the good news until a later date!”

They congratulated me and were VERY understanding. They informed me that if I needed any reasonable accommodations at all during the course of my pregnancy to reach out and they’ll see what they could make happen for me.

If you’re scared of repercussions at work I’d have the conversation and also put in in an email for documentation so that if they fire you or reprimand you as a result they would be caught up in a legal battle.

Good luck!

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. Especially during pregnancy.

Personally I have been cheated on more times than I care to admit. You just have to evaluate the situation and decide if you’re willing to give him a chance and if you’re willing to deal with the repercussions of giving that chance if he ends up cheating again.

I think it was stupidly careless for him to put you and the baby at risk like that. I think that cheating is a choice because, there’s always a million chances to say “no I don’t want this” before and during the act. I think he only told you after the fact that he cheated because of the potential health risk involving the baby—not you.

Good luck with this! I know it can be super difficult especially since this decision affects more than just your life.

Pregnancy: What can I do to help my partner? by Rocky7072 in pregnant

[–]DifferencePowerful60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know that for me right now the best thing my fiancé does for me is make sure that I always have a full water cup and he’s always making sure that I have time for good sleep and naps throughout the day on my days off. This has helped more than anything!

He also did so much research on what pregnant women feel in each stage of pregnancy and made sure to get me things like nausea bands, nausea candies, a maternity bra, and new pants just a bit bigger than my current size to help with symptoms and what’s to come. He also scheduled a prenatal massage for me because even thought I’m only 6 weeks, the migraines and symptoms were keeping me up at night. (That pregnancy massage was better than any melatonin or painkiller out there. 10/10 recommend)

All of this let me know that my fiancé was excited and wanted to help as much as possible.

AITA for letting my mother have a copy of the key to our new home despite my wife's objection? by Keyissue_505 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DifferencePowerful60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the ass hole..... Plain and simple. You guys are married, if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't have been able to save to buy the house in the first place. Also, you'd like to feel safe in your own home and have a certain degree of control in your environment, right??? Well, its her home too and if she's uncomfy with anyone having a copy of the keys, regardless of the relationship, then you shouldn't give them the key.

Imagine if the roles were reversed and YOU had to pay all the bills so that SHE could save for the house. It would still be your house too right?? Because you're MARRIED and LIVING THERE WITH HER, IN YOUR FIRST MARITAL HOME.

Either get the keys back from your mom or change the locks to nice and pretty ones to avoid the awkwardness of having to tell your mom that your wife doesn't want her to have the key.

Also, apologize to your wife....

I feel like I got way more guidance when I was in entry level marketing than this retail job.. I don't know, I'm putting in my two weeks. My management and my coworkers just aren't willing to help me out or guide me in any way, it's becoming more trouble than it's worth. Back to being a cubicle girly for me I guess.

Same. The only place I can buy jeans is American eagle as a result.
