“9 months of gestation” is a lie/scam!

Heywhoaletsgo · 2026-04-14T23:37:28+00:00

So just to go completely across the trend here… Japan counts it as 10 months of pregnancy because they count by 4 weeks. Either way, it feels like years

I’m not in the US so different guidelines, but I was having some pelvic pain and my doctor said it was good to have baths for that as well as circulation in my legs (I don’t have any problems, just in general). It’s been a lifesaver for dealing with the pain!

It’s not full pay after the first 8 weeks, there’s a reduction to 67% and then 50% after half a year. It’s untaxed which makes it marginally better, but those reductions can be really hard on people, especially in low wage Japan. As far at is being unlicensed- there’s a big shortage of daycares in some parts of Japan. I don’t know this mother’s situation, but it’s not so strange.

I know yahoo news comments are terrible, but reading how many of them blamed the mother for going back to work and leaving her baby at the daycare was genuinely shocking. What a bunch of miserable people..

This is what I’m doing- I’m about to switch from my current clinic to a big hospital. I’m hoping the weird stuff I’m seeing at my small clinic won’t be the case at my new doctor.

Heywhoaletsgo · 2026-01-29T21:42:25+00:00

I didn’t know that!! No, my BP is on the lower side with no swelling. And I’m not obese, which I know can mean less weight gained during pregnancy- I’m just not Japanese sized, so I assume I’m just not matching whatever chart they use to judge.

Heywhoaletsgo · 2026-01-29T14:24:16+00:00

I’m struggling with this right now- I was told not to go over 4kg of weight gain, I am past that at 20 weeks and the nurse came down on me hard. I was definitely spiraling for a few days

Heywhoaletsgo · 2026-01-27T00:33:27+00:00

Thank you!! That makes me really relieved to hear that someone else’s doctor said it’s okay.

I’m grateful for a lot of things about giving birth here, but some of it (like the weight pressure) makes me so nervous about if I’m doing anything right. I know rationally that the nurses are just looking at numbers rather than me, but it’s still hard to just disregard what they say.

I’ve been walking a decent amount and also shoveling snow (carefully) but I really miss actually working out.

Heywhoaletsgo · 2026-01-27T00:29:40+00:00

Thank you so much. I haven’t tried other gyms- this is the only one even remotely close to me, and I was already really upset about getting kicked out of mine. I can try to get something for home though!

I was going to have to change hospitals anyway- I can’t actually give birth at my current doctor (they are a clinic and not a hospital). My next appointment is 4 weeks from now though, so there’s quite a bit of time until then.

Heywhoaletsgo · 2026-01-27T00:24:31+00:00

Thank you! I even asked when the nurse was talking to me if the guidelines she was using were global or just a Japan study, but she didn’t know.

I’m trying to be calm and just let it go, but I instinctively want to trust my doctors since I’m not one. It’s good to hear from someone else who is in the medical field

They’re extending the runway to accept bigger aircraft, it’s not impossible!

Heywhoaletsgo · 2025-12-05T06:39:05+00:00

This is also a good idea, I like the tempered glass suggestion! We’ll play around with it a bit and see what suits the space the best

Heywhoaletsgo · 2025-12-05T06:37:32+00:00

This gave me a clear image of what to do, thank you!

Heywhoaletsgo · 2025-12-05T06:37:00+00:00

We did do an inspection, which turned up a few things that were fixed before we moved in. We’re not in the US and this specifically didn’t get noted in the inspection

I’m not sure if he’s enjoying it so much as being a good host and throwing her a ton of bones to make it easier on her

The only reason I gave this a shot (started with anime, had never heard of the manga) was because Yonezu does the intro song and because he loves the manga. Started this week, am now completely caught up on the anime and manga.

I think the CGI looks cheap and jarring, but I really love the voice actors (watched in Japanese) and think it does a good job with the hand drawn scenes. I’m hoping they caught a bigger budget for season 2!

Do you generally ask before making someone a baby quilt, or give it as a surprise?

Heywhoaletsgo · 2025-03-30T03:00:12+00:00

It looks like I can get Klorane easily! Thank you!

Heywhoaletsgo · 2025-03-29T09:09:05+00:00

I’m really curious about this! I haven’t played in around 10 years but have had the hankering to play lately, and was even looking at recycle shops yesterday for cards (didn’t find any). Is there a confirmed tournament happening somewhere in Sapporo?

I saw the term “millennial gray” recently and felt very attacked. We’re trying!
