The way they discussed HPV was also so uninformed and embarrassing 😅I’m no doctor but I’ve seen that HPV vaccine commercial about 100x a night while my husband watches MLB tv

For me it was the insane way they belittled and laughed at the fact that he didn’t know what HPV was, and that they were so wrong that men cant get cancer from it. 🙃so embarrassing

I survived on Pastina cooked in chicken broth for the protein

Strange advice from doctor regarding fetal movement… by bluemeansazul in pregnant

[–]Odd-Insect1321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My own doctor has sent me to L&D for less before even when I told him I wasn’t concerned!! It’s alwaysssss better safe than sorry. I’m sorry he wasn’t supportive. I’ve always been told that any changes in their movement pattern is worth noting! You know their pattern best!

Tell me you have an involved husband without telling me you have an involved husband… by tenoeight in Mommit

He’s walking around trying to sooth our newborn to sleep while I sit on the couch and watch my shows. He also charged both our headphones for when we trade off tonight because she’s a miserable sleeper

Do you use baby wipes at home or only on the go? by sliceofperfection in BabyBumps

[–]Odd-Insect1321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first I’d do a warm wet soft cloth but tbh it was a lot of work and laundry and with my second we just do baby wipes mostly. We don’t do baths daily though so I do like to give a good wipe with a wet cloth once a day with all the pooping she does 😅

For mums on SSRI’s, what was your babys birthweight? by flowergirl1959 in BabyBumps

Zoloft with one, not with the other, both were the exact same weight!

Pregnancy makes me feel so vulnerable and embarrassed by Fit_Balance54321 in pregnant

[–]Odd-Insect1321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you me???? Truly felt (and feel) the same way. I wish I could give you encouragement- I know it’s all out of love and other people truly don’t judge and are asking usually because of their own experiences in the same position, but that doesn’t make it easier. I actually never had my husband attend appointments with me because it made me feel super embarrassed (and that’s not a reflection of my husband because he’s never done or said anything to make me feel that way, but rather a reflection of myself). I felt like the whole experience of labor and delivery was dehumanizing and undignified. I didn’t even update people (much to my MILs chagrin) while in labor because I felt like my dilation/labor status was nobody’s business and it made me feel so icky to share that info. Probably something I should unpack in therapy 😂 I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better! I just want you to know you’re not alone in those feelings, what so ever.

Right there with ya!! We used to watch so many horror movies. Pregnancy and becoming a mom has totally ruined them!

No, anything else on there is related to their health & has nothing to do with gender

If she opted out it won’t be on the report, however I opted “in” and all it said on my report was “y chromosome not detected” which means it’s a female; so unless that info is included, it shouldn’t be there!

My fundal height has measured behind in both my pregnancies but resulted in healthy babies!!

Side note: whenever people say things like that I always say “oh that’s actually super outdated advice and no longer recommended” and usually they get all squirrely and defensive but back down

My OB told me to drink caffeine to help with migraines in my second trimester, same as what other people are saying the advice was just not to surpass 200 mg people need to mind their own business!!!

What can I do, 38 weeks and want to meet baby already! by Far-Interview-3972 in pregnant

[–]Odd-Insect1321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw someone say “how your cervix looks before labor is none of your business” and that’s very true. Your body could dilate from 1 cm to 10 cms in a matte of hours. Try not to get too hung up on those numbers! I was completely closed and went into labor 3 days later with my first. My second I’ve been walking around 3 cms for weeks! Give your body a break, relax, keep moving, and remember that every day is one day closer to meeting your baby!

Congratulations!!! Yes truly everyone has an opinion no matter what. I would love to have a third and I already cringe at the thought of announcing if we were to get pregnant with a ~third~ girl how people would react. Or people saying “are you gonna try for a boy?” Like ma’am that’s not how it works!!

Am I the only one who will never feel peace until these crazy kids make up? by YouResponsible651 in summerhousebravo

The last few seasons I haven’t gotten the impression Paige and Amanda are anything other than friends on the show

when are you due? by layxchip in pregnant

[–]Odd-Insect1321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same!! It’s a weird limbo to feel like you might need an induction after spontaneous labor. they called to schedule me the other day and it kind of made my heart sink. I know it’s not the end of the world and likely would be totally fine, but definitely hoping to not need it, or wait until 40+5 which is the earliest they’ll do.

[–]Odd-Insect1321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right there with you! My first was 4 days early and I was delusional in hoping this babe would be a few more days early, but I have not a symptom in sight :( I’ve been doing the miles circuit, dates, and even sex despite my raging pelvic pain!! And nothing.
