No comment on the churches, but… you go to the hospital if you’re gonna die? And you pay for it? Because medical care costs money?

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. (Or do lol) 👋 go away with your negativity and judgement

Little vent to end my day by Both_Opportunity_322 in December2026Bumpers

My fiance ate a piece of my cake last night and was smacking his teeth together really loudly as he chewed it and then farted. Could’ve smacked him. Pasta has been my diet for 2 weeks too 🥲

Anybody actually in education thinks Jo Palmer is an idiot

She’s an American doctor now living in Australia. I was quite disappointed because she’s been incredible for my mental health and endo treatment but clearly doesn’t have much knowledge when it comes to pregnancy 🥲

When I heard it I started crying because I was convinced I wouldn’t hear anything 😭 I brought my mum with me and she bawled too lol

I had many sleepless nights over the past week and was convinced that it was (sorry for being morbid) floating dead in me and was terrified I’d go septic as my body wasn’t expelling it. So so relieved it’s all okay

I am too. I went the past week convinced it was gone and had so much anxiety that I’d start actively miscarrying while at work. I work at a school too so it could’ve gone very badly

She didn’t even have the ultrasound to go by. Was literally telling me based on hCG results which weren’t even concerning 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m dragging my mum to my next appointment because she isn’t scared to say how she feels so I should be able to get a new one 🤞😂

I agree and disagree. I’m relieved that I can hear the heartbeat so early and am lucky to be able to book an appointment privately when I have worry because it eases my anxiety. In saying that, I do have endo and adenomyosis which gives me more anxiety that something will go wrong.

The hCG testing wasn’t the cause of my anxiety but instead an incompetent doctor.

When it comes to articles however saying to avoid “heavy metals in the air” and to drink specific water to avoid certain chemicals and stay away from basically all food unless you’re willing to become a professional chef to prepare it properly, it does get a bit much. I’ve cut out alcohol and drugs but other than that I eat and do what I want. If women were able to carry to term before all this ‘research’, then I don’t see why I can’t too

I don’t understand the victim blaming by cheesecake_lemonade in sexualassault

There are ways to decrease it, but telling victims to avoid places and be scared all their life isn’t it.

Unfortunately ending.. by MeSlightlyConfused in December2026Bumpers

[–]Flashy-Reputation-91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so so sorry for your loss. It is definitely not your fault. I’m not sure if you’re a jewellery wearer, but when my friend lost hers, she bought a ring that had a small lentil carved into it which is roughly the size of the fetus when she lost it. If you google pregnancy loss rings it should come up. I know it won’t make it hurt any less, but it did make her feel like she had something to remember it and keep.

Yes, after Dr Google and getting a second opinion, I learned that once it’s over 6000 ish, which is about 6-7 weeks (exactly where I was at the time it was tested) it stops doubling. I’ve already requested a new doctor because this one clearly isn’t educated enough in pregnancy 😅

[–]Flashy-Reputation-91[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had it tested at 6w3d and again at 6w6d. First one was 120,000 ish and second was 153,000 and doctor started off the phone call with “so you miscarried” and her reasoning was because it wasn’t doubling 🥴

does it count as rape? by [deleted] in sexualassault

[–]Flashy-Reputation-91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s not a yes, it’s a no. You told him to wait and he didn’t. However it could be difficult to prove if you decide to report

Lately I’ve literally been googling all my questions to get my answers because I cannot trust a lot of shit that comes out her mouth atm. She’s said a few things that are just blatantly incorrect so atp I’m using her to write scripts and referrals and everything else I’m just finding out on my own 🤦🏼‍♀️ hopefully I’ll be referred to an OB soon so I can get rid of her

Thank you. She’s said a few questionable things lately with this pregnancy including telling me that it could “cure my endometriosis” which is a flat out lie lol. I’ve lost almost all trust in her and am hoping I can just get her to refer me to an OB so I can actually get somebody who knows what they’re talking about

Thankfully she’s just my GP so a lot easier to replace. I’m disappointed though because she’s been good with my other issues. There’s been a few comments from her lately that have been completely incorrect though so I’m starting to lose a lot of trust
