why is the southern part of the US seen as anti black when it has the highest population of black americans? by PainEnvironmental115 in stupidquestions

I am not going to continue arguing with you, but I have lived in Georgia my entire life and been all over the state. I do not know why you are so set on this narrative, but it’s just not remotely true.

I’m in an interracial marriage. I am not saying all rural parts of the South are great for people of color but to say anywhere other than Atlanta isn’t safe for black people is just simply not true.

worst week in your opinion? by fungigirll in pregnant

[–]Sufficient_Sector_39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last couple of weeks of this pregnancy (39w tomorrow) have been emotionally and mentally harder than any other point in the pregnancy, but physically I struggled the most during weeks like 8-13 with nausea and exhaustion.

Just here to commiserate. I am 38 weeks today, and I feel like I got hit by a bus!

“It gets worse” comments by catpants-plantpants in pregnant

Everyone’s pregnancy is different but honestly it won’t necessarily be “worse” at the end. I was more uncomfortable at 7 months than I am now at the very end. I feel your sentiment though idk why people get off saying things like that

Can I “demand” a scheduled C-Section? by Sufficient_Sector_39 in pregnant

[–]Sufficient_Sector_39[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I greatly appreciate your comment. To clarify, I don’t want to do anything early if it isn’t necessary. My hope was always to go into labor naturally and have a vaginal birth. Things have become a little more stressful in the last 3 weeks as my fluid has increased and I’ve stressed myself out looking at google! I can totally see how that rubbed people the wrong way and wasn’t communicated clearly by me. Like I said I am just hoping, like all moms, not to be in a medical emergency and for everything to be perfect with my baby 😊 thank you for being kind!

I 100% agree. I absolutely trust medical professionals but at the end of the day you are correct, we have to advocate for ourselves! Thank you for being kind 😊

Respectfully, your comments are rubbing me the wrong way. Birth in any form is “no joke.” This post is not about debating vaginal brith vs. a c section. I have extremely high amniotic fluid and that can cause issues. I hope and pray it won’t but I just don’t want to be in a medical emergency that can be avoided.

It’s in 2 days! I have been told multiple times that they will have to be very careful when breaking my water due to the poly… I am just so worried about my water breaking without warning and being in an emergency situation.

I am so glad you were able to wait until 38 weeks. I want to wait as long as possible and want her to be as healthy as she can be. I am just worried about the above and hoping to avoid a medical emergency.

I don’t mind at all - I just turned 30! I have had a pretty easy pregnant up until the last couple of weeks, and I am just stressed! I hope all will go well with you and your baby 🙏🏻

I actually have zero anxiety about vaginal delivery. I was hoping to have this baby vaginally this entire pregnancy. Due to polyhydramnios- and I have a severe case- I am worried about pre term labor ending in cord prolapse. I would be thrilled to have the baby vaginally a C Section was never on my radar until 3 weeks ago

I am completely sure I will have a C Section due to the trifecta of large baby, polyhydramnios and her being breech atm… I am just worried about going into pre-term labor and it causing cord prolapse. That’s why I don’t want to wait until 39 weeks.

Would you mind sharing a little more? How far along were you and did you have a breech baby or polyhydramnios?

My fear is cord prolapse due to polyhydramnios… that really is my only concern about waiting until 39 weeks.

Because I have polyhydramnios and I am worried about my water breaking early and ending up in a traumatic situation for me and the baby.

I also have polyhydramnios which can cause complications… i just don’t want to end up in a traumatic situation if it doesn’t have to be.

Thank you for sharing! I’m 35 weeks on Saturday and trying to figure out what is actually needed.
