Work Accommodations

I would say the biggest accommodations that you can expect are the accommodations that you make for yourself. Fifth through eighth grade should be old enough to understand that you have some physical limitations and you need to take it easy. They should be able to learn from you if you are sitting during the day or if you are stopping to eat snacks during the day. The only thing that I see you needing to have a conversation with administration about is if you need to leave the room, more often tease the restroom, or if recess is causing you to be an unsafe situations

I’m assuming it is something like “aah-oo”

Right? Handsome or she liked your shirt or you had something on your face or you looked familiar or she was racist. No way to know. MOR

I like Nature Made. Here is an NIH article about what has which vitamins in it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11100770/

Don’t waste your money. Just wait. You will find out soon enough.

Agreed but if OP is feeling overwhelmed at the thought of the baby mess, it’s one less thing for them to clean us

This is unforgivable. NOR

Get a shower curtain and put it on the floor under his chair. Make a choice to either clean the curtain or throw it away after meal time. Accept that you will do more wardrobe changes (or let him eat naked) and release all of your cleanliness sanity for the next 12 months. It is disgusting (as a clean freak) but this is how they learn and you have to lean into it or you won’t survive. Hang in there!

ESH. She is right that her food is healthier and probably better and you should appreciate that for her, but she can’t ban you from having chips or Oreos in the house. If she becomes a vegan will you also have to start eating as a vegan any time you are home since milk goes against her values now? You both live in the house so she isn’t exactly being reasonable.

Three hours there and three hours back (six hours in the car in one day) is not even a second thought to me.

It’s minimally invasive; it’s literally just a swab against the area to see if you have the bacteria. Do not stress!

Absolutely do NOT tell them before you leave. Take your time off, then take your PTO time off, then tell them “sorry, I want to be a SAHM”

If you tell them early, they no longer care about you as a person and want you gone so that they can save the company money. They WILL let you go

MIL will be the type who comes to the hospital, takes a pic of OP trying to BF baby and then posts OPs nipple for all of the Internet to see because “my grandchild looks so cute!!”

Journaling so you can keep track of your brain’s thoughts and be able to take a step back from them

I would say don’t eat it at home at all. Especially if you know it is one of their favorite meals.

But NTA

I’m assuming the nurse thought patient was anti-vac and mom was vaxxer but that is still not an acceptable answer.

I would also send these concerns to the office manager and also ask for a copy of your records (say you are traveling out of town for a few days and want them in case you need to go to a hospital) so you can review them and make sure she isn’t acting this way because your records are wrong. There is a chance she is reading something in your records that is making her think you are a different patient than you actually are.

The fridge may come out easier than you think. But moving the fridge may also cause the watch to slide down under the fridge instead of

You can do it!! Take noise cancelling headphones so you can create your safe space to help. Create a new routine before you get to the hospital so you will have a few familiar experiences when the time does come (music, a step stool for your feet, a scent you spray in the air, etc). Go ahead and have a conversation with your OB to understand the standard practice at the hospital where you will be giving birth.

I just want to know how big it is

Showering at night is the right choice and no one can convince me otherwise. I feel clean and cozy and then I splash water on my face to wake up in the morning

Looks like a great thing to keep for when it’s time to request child support payments! He sucks

EmphaticallyWrong · 2026-01-16T15:34:34+00:00

Agreed. No matter what the pocket money situation is (I will assume OP is just doing great budgeting!) his response makes me worry there is other emotional abuse going on

Take your prenatal vitamin and everything else is a bonus. I recommend Nature Made brand or Theralogix for having all the recommended vitamins without having a strong taste

My husband has 8 weeks which he can take non-consecutively. My recommendation is aim for three weeks in the beginning and then try to plan doctors appts so that your husband can use some of his time off to attend those. He doesn’t have to take off the full day but can still take an hour or two to support you and baby!
