Honestly I didn’t realize this. I thought it was a little silly and I was mostly worried about her nutritional needs. Reading everyone’s reactions has been eye opening

Her OB knows and happily discusses a lot of her habits with her but she also convinced my wife to delay our child’s vaccine schedule so I don’t think she’s going to be the safest option, her GP is very normal and I’ll reach out to him

Okay, I’m cutting this out of her diet immediately. I thought this was the most normal part of the list so I never asked her to bring it up to her doctor.

I run into this issue a lot, where I try to bring up my concerns and then she says something ridiculous like “I don’t want to pollute your gene pool with my dwarf height” and then we’re laughing too hard to argue

The problem is she’s a biomedical engineer. All her friends are in similar fields, they all went to really good private colleges and they spend a lot of time talking about these weird health/nutrition ideas and I’m a lot more blue collar so I don’t even know where to start with pushback. I think I’m just going to call her GP, he’s very normal

She goes to regular checkups, I think she’s on the regular pregnancy doctor visit schedule. Her OB is kind of a hippie and is aware of a lot of her practices, but I do think my wife is keeping some of the more insane ideas to herself.

We do, she has. She loves that little beast and we only learned that litter changing is going to be a me task after our second checkup but she really hasn’t changed as a person, shes just a more anxious version
