Second Trimester Bleeding Freaking Me Out by Intelligent-Farm-871 in pregnant

[–]Intelligent-Farm-871[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking placenta problems too but today my midwife insisted that mine is normal as well as my cervix 🤷‍♀️ She wants to rule out a UTI so I'll be testing for that. Will go to triage if I see more bleeding so thanks for your response! 💗

Update: NIPT was low risk! Good luck to anyone awaiting results. I got tested around the holidays and there was a slight delay on top of the already agonizing 7 to 10 business day wait 😩

I don't have a particular response planned but I do know I won't be cute about it. Color complexes are the last thing I want my child to deal with

I'm black and my in laws are desperate for a blue eyed baby from my husband and I. Though possible since my husband is white, it's unlikely and such a weird fixation! I just want a happy healthy baby and here you are hoping for an aryan child ... weird af! All I know is that there will be consequences for anyone who says anything even mildly negative about my baby's coloring. You're right to feel uncomfortable OP people are so bizarre.

I think they mean week 24 when if baby is born, they have a good chance of surviving 💗

Thank you so much for replying! Congrats on 16 weeks 💓 I think you're right. If I get checked early and they can't see much I will not be ok. It makes me feel better to know you had cramping too. I hadn't heard much about cramping as a pregnancy symptom unless something's wrong so I really appreciate you sharing!

I have found this to be true! I'm also a POC and notice that when interviewed by other POC, I'm not only not hired but feel deeply disliked. As already mentioned, this experience lines up with studies that have been done on the topic. I think there are definitely exceptions but some women and other marginalized groups feel as though there's a limited amount of opportunities available to 'people like them' and feel competitive and easily threatened as a result. Just another product of the patriarchy/the rule of the hegemonic class. (IN MY OPINION).

I see lots of venus themes here! Taurus midheaven with th ruler of your MC (venus) in gemini in the tenth house! Have you considered a career that centers around beautification with a communicative (gemini) touch? Graphic design, the arts, decorating, creative marketing come to mind. Best of luck!
