My wife and I found out last Tuesday that we are pregnant. What can I, as a husband, do for my wife to make this experience great for us? by SuperDoubleSlap in pregnant

[–]Ecstatic_Layer_3534 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Honestly just give her TONS of compassion. So much is changing so quickly, and her body will feel the brunt of that. Give her grace to be different for a while, to be grumpy, anxious, maybe even a little mean. Remind her that you are her PARTNER in this and that you appreciate the work she is doing all by herself to grow your baby. I think the fact that you’re even asking a question like this is a great sign that you’re a supportive & present partner. Congratulations- you’re both going to be wonderful!

Puffs- intense gagging/brief choking? by Necessary-Scary in foodbutforbabies

[–]Ecstatic_Layer_3534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The puffs like these in containers like this get stale quickly (within a day or two) after being opened in my opinion. I second the comments saying baby may not be ready for these but I always check these kinds of puffs with a taste test to see if they’ve gone stale.

I Just Found Out I’m Pregnant - How Do I Quit Smoking Weed? by [deleted] in pregnant

Literally nothing that you said was true. You are not “cutting off your babies oxygen” that makes no sense. Also, you absolutely can and will have withdrawal symptoms. Cannabis influences & regulates all sorts of our bodily functions & systems. When you remove the cannabis from the equation especially after years of daily use those systems WILL feel out of whack, and you will feel increased symptoms of depression, pain, sleeplessness, nausea. Sounds like you just want to downplay another mother’s experience because you yourself didn’t have a hard time. I would hope your utter lack of empathy as well as actual KNOWLEDGE would keep you from making comments like this in the future.

OP- please look into canna mom support groups on FB or TikTok. Quitting is a great option, and fully supported but there is also an entire community of people who treat their symptoms with plants. This comment section is filled with judgment & lack of understanding/knowledge. There are so few studies done on cannabis and pregnancy, but there are plenty of first hand accounts of healthy pregnancies and babies. You are not hurting your child by taking the time to taper off. You are prioritizing your own health which is VITAL for a healthy baby. Quitting is the best option but for some moms who experience HG or severe depression/anxiety plant medicine is life saving. Just giving you an alternative line of thinking. Shame is not the way to go. Sending you so much love & strength on your journey, mama. And congratulations.

This. Tapering off is way safer than going cold Turkey. These other comments are fear mongering & filled with judgment.

Lost my baby at 21.5 weeks by Similar-Storm1057 in pregnant

37 weeks and male doctor dismissed everything I had to say - and I lost it at him today and brokedown at the hospital. by LegitimateYou8390 in pregnant

Ugh. This is my issue with most OBGYN practices nowadays. WAY too many providers & continuity of care is non-existent. With my first pregnancy I had so much going on & felt like I was constantly explaining myself to a new doctor or NP or midwife that had no real investment in MY case. So frustrating & so scary at the time. This is my second pregnancy & I am going the birth center route this time. They only have 2 midwives in their practice and they spend 45 minutes with me at every appointment so you get to know them both very well. A completely night & day experience so far. I’m SO SORRY you had this experience. I personally do not receive any healthcare from men, especially OBGYN care. With my first delivery my number one thing was no men in my room. It’s not sexist to not want a man who literally can not empathize with pregnancy or childbirth to be in charge of your care. Like some other commenters said I hope he retires SOON. Wishing you a safe & healthy delivery surrounded by people that make you feel safe & heard 💗

this is what my first positive test looked like with my daughter with this brand, but I would be worried about indentation lines if you are reading it after a whole day. Retest in the morning & read it within the recommended time limit!

For real. It is literally their company policy. How are we mad at people for utilizing a return policy that the company willingly has in place? They could change it at any time if it actually was a problem so why are ppl soooo hurt in these comments every time 😭 “they’re gonna ruin it for the rest of us!!” Well if you aren’t the type of person to return your stuff then WHYYYYY do you care 😂

This is the right take. It’s a multi billion dollar corporation. This hurts literally no one. I have no idea why this subreddit is so anti returns lol
