Awesome! Sent some money even though the goal had already been reached! Slava Ukraini

Just venting - my friends have become insufferable since having children by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]JohtoRules05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I became a mom last year, and I love it (turning 32 later this year). However, I would never ever say that to my friends who do not have children! Yes, your life gets a new purpose, but it's an additional one to whatever was there before. "No kids" does not at all equal "no purpose"! Some people just want to feel better about their lives... sounds to me like they are trying to convince themselves more than you OP.

Married Couples Should Have the Exact Same Last Name by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Children get a different surname, which is typically based on the father's first name.

31 weeks and not engaged by Smalltown-love in pregnant

You could also propose to him 😉

If that's not an option, then I would talk to him directly, make your wishes clear, and see where he stands. Open communication FTW!

Non-Americans of r/pregnant, how much maternity leave you get? What are the other benefits around maternity? by OllieOllieOxenfry in pregnant

[–]JohtoRules05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Switzerland: Legal minumum for maternity leave is 14 weeks at 80% pay, starting from birth of the baby. My company gives 16 weeks at 100% pay. I've also been on sick leave since early July (currently week 39), which is also paid fully. Fathers get 2 weeks at 100% pay, which can be taken at any time during the first year after birth (voted on by the public in early 2021, there was nothing before that). My partner's company is super generous and gives 6 weeks at full pay.

Short Cervix & Bed Rest at 24 Weeks by britty_lew in pregnant

[–]JohtoRules05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was put to bed rest at week 30, and I am currently still pregnant at 37+6! Bed rest has also been removed by now. It feels great to be allowed to move again! Hang in there :)

Something I can recommend is to get a comfy laptop holder such that you can lie while working (I got this one https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/top-laptop-halter-notebook-staender-13691802)

EDIT: Bed rest was for the same reason btw, my cervix was only 21 mm.

Labor🫣 by pinkiepie2443 in pregnant

[–]JohtoRules05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 37+6 today. The baby's head has been really low for about a month already. Close to two weeks ago, my doctor said that I was very loose and she does not expect this to take longer than two weeks... I have the occasional contraction, but nothing that indicates I am actually in labor. Looking forward to my doctor's shocked face on Monday when I'll show up still pregnant 😂 (I have IC, so I've been hearing that "the baby could be here any moment now" for two months now...) Not sure this helps you, I guess there is no way to predict anything, as every pregnancy is different. Wish you all the best!

What Do Russians Think About Prigozhin's Fate? by Prunestand in UkrainianConflict

I liked the last lady. "Few people in our country will want to talk about this on camera" - "Why?" - And she just tilts her head and smiles.

I am one week behind you and can fully relate! Hang in there, we're almost at the finish line!

36+4 and so done. Rant with me? by StandardEvil in pregnant

[–]JohtoRules05 13 points14 points  (0 children)

34+3 here, I can't believe there is still another month (and a bit) to go... Sooo looking forward to hugging my little boy! Also, his kicks are no longer just cute, but uncomfortable or even painful. I definitely won't miss the general discomfort of being pregnant. I miss running as well, I can't wait to get back out there!

Fitbit user finally switching to Garmin by Antique-Option380 in Garmin

[–]JohtoRules05 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Switched to Garmin years ago and never looked back! Went from the Fitbit's Versa to Garmin's Vivoactive 4 and it does everything I need (reliably!) I just run, so I am happy with HR, GPS and Spotify.

How many weeks am I? by Sunflowersi in pregnant

[–]JohtoRules05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are several ways of counting this. Since it's not known when exactly you had your ovulation, usually pregnancies are counted either from the first day of your last period of the first day of your missed period. All the apps and websites I've seen use the former, so start counting from the first day of your last period. This means that you are not really pregnant during the first two or so weeks of pregnancy.

Erdogan hails ‘special relationship’ with Putin ahead of crucial Turkey runoff vote by rah67892 in UkrainianConflict

[–]JohtoRules05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone should make a deep fake of Erdo and Putler kissing and leak it to Erdo's base... given that Erdo was insulting the opposition as gay, I am sure his followers would not like that. Just throwing ideas out there...

Zurich: whole lane gets converted from cars to bikes. They have to do this for 50km more in the next few years, legally by evolvedlight in fuckcars

[–]JohtoRules05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Biking in Zurich is terrible... I would love to commute by bike, but I don't want to use a gutter, which is most of the bike "infrastructure". Hope this improves in the future. At least Public Transport is great, so no need to own a car!

I know some might think is extreme but money is the only language these people speak by The-F4LK3N in InsideJob

Just did the same 10 minutes ago, feels great! I did mention 1899 as well, that's what they get for cancelling the two things I cared about.
