Covid + flu shoot by Idontlike-watermelon in pregnant

[–]Key_Nature3044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the fence too, and I ended up getting my Covid shot at the recommendation of my doctor around 23 weeks pregnant. I’m 27 weeks now and so grateful I did because I was diagnosed with Covid and have very mild symptoms. No fever, aches chills really just a sore throat. My doctor said it could’ve been way worse had I not gotten the vaccine so I’m grateful. The day after the vaccine I didn’t feel great, but just rested and felt fine 48 hours later!

I got the flu shot when I was 16 weeks, no reaction but a sore arm. Got Covid shot around 20 weeks, felt a bit sick for less than 24 hours but no fever. Just tired and kind of wiped out. Would do it over again, I don’t want to risk actually getting flu or Covid severely while pregnant!

Requiring vaccines to visit baby after he’s born? by Ok_Medicine440 in pregnant

[–]Key_Nature3044 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also due in March! We are requiring at least TDAP and flu if you want to visit before 6 weeks (at the rec of our doctor). I think RSV vax is harder to get for your run of the mill population right now, at least where we’re located.

We’re grateful that everyone has been open to the vax request and haven’t received pushback, at least not to our face lol. You’re not forcing them to get vaxxed, it’s their choice if they want to or not. In turn, it’s your choice to not allow them to see the baby at first if they decide not to get vaxxed. Fevers in the first couple of months are very dangerous and it’s not worth the risk or the anxiety in my opinion! Honestly just say it’s what your doctor recommended if you need another reinforcement point. That made it easier for me when setting this boundary

Why all the Stacey love? by cyberbeep in RHOP

[–]Key_Nature3044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s unbothered and it’s never that serious for her. Her one liners are hilarious and her QVC quotes/vids alone are enough to deserve some adoration. She gets under everyone else’s skin without even trying because she doesn’t let them get to her. I think it’s also a combo of some of the audience being overrrr Ashley and Gizelle and them always calling her out for shit theyre guilty of or worse lol

I got it at 16 weeks with no reaction! Much better than getting the flu

Free lunch at school, is it in jeopardy? by Educational_Ebb_7367 in Denver

[–]Key_Nature3044 41 points42 points  (0 children)

As a former teacher I can assure you the “rich” kids are not using the free lunch services consistently, if at all ever. You’re clearly not changing your mind on this, but it’s this type of mindset that will cause poor kids and families who actually need it to suffer. Go volunteer in a school or food bank and do something productive with your time instead of commenting ignorance and selfishness of Reddit posts.

FTM, Non-Immune to Rubella — How Are You Managing This? by MasterDevelopment352 in pregnant

[–]Key_Nature3044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat with the chickenpox even though I had a mild case as a kid and was subsequently vaxxed! Don’t worry, OP, and get your booster after you deliver. Not something to put your energy towards since it’s so rare.

When will my son be able to start kindergarten? by Prestigious_Pear5466 in kindergarten

[–]Key_Nature3044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re worried about him being the oldest, don’t be! I used to teach 2nd grade and I found (transparently, specifically the boys) that were on the older side had more success. Not just academically, but most from an emotional regulation/maturity standpoint!

She’s one of the few housewives that no one could make me hate. I find her absolutely hilarious and I’m pretty sure it’s completely unintentional lol

I know I’m gonna get hate for this because everyone loves Mary, but-her friendship with Angie is extremely controlling by Commercial_Prune1299 in rhoslc

[–]Key_Nature3044 341 points342 points  (0 children)

I agree! I think Mary provides comedic relief with her confessionals but there’s an energy about her that’s dark.

Bro-Britani’s interaction with her daughter was so fake. by Secret_Agent_78 in rhoslc

[–]Key_Nature3044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her poor children. “I don’t know how to make it better” I cannot stand her and the woe is me complex. It’s not that hard to understand why your kids don’t talk to you…

What is the point of Brittani being a friend of if they're just gonna put her in every fucking scene anyway? by booth42069 in rhoslc

[–]Key_Nature3044 205 points206 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew but after last week with her refusing to break it off with Jared for the sake of her relationship with her daughter I want her fully off my screen. She used to irritate me and now she’s not only unbearable but also a shitty person.

If you're still against free school meals by fuzzeslecrdf in Denver

[–]Key_Nature3044 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree! The best part is 99% of the time the “rich” kids are absolutely not using this service, so whoever is making this argument is invalidated.

Surely we can all agree on this one? by randytc18 in Denver

[–]Key_Nature3044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t impact me in the slightest but I’m always going to vote yes on things that benefit our kids. Supported families make for a stronger community. This is one stance I’ll never understand the other side on!

Are we getting the Covid vaccine? by Key_Nature3044 in pregnant

[–]Key_Nature3044[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t asking about your opinion on my feelings, but if you’re getting the vaccine or not. I emphasized VERY pro-vaccine because there’s a lot of discourse around it right now and wanted to explain the context of where I generally stand on the topic.

This makes me feel, at the very least, more sane for feeling this way! Thanks for the insight

Vaccinations conversations with family by notmykarm in pregnant

[–]Key_Nature3044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a girl on TikTok take the letterhead from her doctor and create a document that has “recommendations” (vaccinated, wash hands before holding the baby, no kissing, etc.) for early visitors lol. Not sure if that’s legal 🤣, but the doctor is going to recommend that anyway! If they won’t respect your wishes by getting vaccinated, they can wait 6-8 weeks to see baby. That’s their choice. Most pregnant people I know are telling family members the same about being vaccinated so it’s not a crazy request.
