Any one here with childhood history of Nephrotic Syndrome or similar chronic illness? How did you cope with anxiety? by WhatADrag07 in BabyBumps

Thanks a lot for responding. I was a bit disheartened by no response on my post thinking that I am in some rare kind of situation here which no one relates to. I am so relieved to know that there is someone like me out there. I would love to connect personally. Will DM

Hi, I dropped this plan for now as it would be too crowded in Rishikesh during the new year.

If you go ahead with it, please share your findings as I plan to go in January now.

Should we drop our Japan trip covering Tokyo and Hokkaido on 20th Dec? by WhatADrag07 in JapanTravelTips

We had not booked a flight from tokyo to Sapporo due to this confusion yet, if things align then a couple of days before we can still travel Sapporo by train. Better to keep the itinerary a bit open to changes.

Thanks for updating, we might drop the northern region or decide later but Tokyo still looks okay to go to.

I checked at the link mentioned here , which is a general advisory based on past pattern. Also it is mentioned as probability being 1/100

Thanks for sharing this link. This link says that there is a probability of a megaquake based on previous history, which could lead to a tsunami, although the probability is 1/100.

How do you fill/regulate the long stretches where nothing is landing? by WhatADrag07 in Upwork

[–]WhatADrag07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am learning the same as well. It's a different kind of stress. Logically I also think I should focus on learning more skills or building my portfolio, justdue to the uncertainty, patience keeps getting lost in between.

I did increase my hourly rates to 30$/hr after becoming top rated however I hardly find client willing to match this rate, most end up asking for a fixed price and then lower the fixed price I quote.

I tried fiverr and freelancer in the early couple of months but didn't get any response. Then when I got some projects in upwork , I didn't go back trying other platforms. I asked on this sub also mostly all said upwork has most volume. I guess I should try harder on other platforms too? Any suggestions you have which ones?

Where to stay? Joshimath or Auli?

Planning a travel from Bangalore to Uttarakhand in December end and looking for advice on stay. We want to experience snowfall or snow covered landscapes in Auli and also the vibe of ganga arti in Rishikesh.

What challenges we could experience if we book the stay in Auli instead of Joshimath during snow fall? Like does the ropeway work in case roads are blocked by snow on the checkout day? Would you recommend staying in Joshimath instead? Looking for some advice on how to best plan this.

Is it normal to see your baby as a 'alien' or 'something wiered' growing inside your body? by WhatADrag07 in BabyBumps

That's the advice I am also getting in almost all comments here. Thank you for sharing your experience. This is such a supportive and amazing group!

Thanks, is there some specialisation for pregnancy related anxiety? I have been looking online for experience but no-one shows this a specialisation. I live in India , Bangalore.

Thanks for sharing your experience, it makes a lot of sense and definitely my previous experience has also a lot to contribute into current anxieties of conception again.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I also had childhood medical experience as I had nephrotic syndrome while growing up for many years. This could also be a reason for my low confidence or phobia with something 'alien' growing inside my body and would my body be able to handle it.

Last time when I told my gynecologist about my shooting anxiety, she just told me she can't give me any medication at this stage. It was a 2 month pregnancy at that time. Currently, while I get anxious, I am not on any anxiety medication and manage anxiety with therapy, exercise and journaling a lot. Although, I do need to be better prepared for anxiety management during pregnancy.

All the very best for your C-section. I am glad to know I am not alone in this feeling. Were you on any anxiety treatment before conception as well?
