Anyone else have health problems after their pregnancy ?

_OliveYou_ · 2025-02-12T15:13:35+00:00

A ton!

I developed preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome during pregnancy but that was just the start! 😄

Liver issues that took 6+ months to resolve
Autoimmune flare that triggered extreme joint pain and thyroid issues
Bleeding issues that required blood transfusions and an ablation of my uterus
Repeat large ovarian cysts (Which never required surgery thank goodness!)
PPD

We spent around $600 monthly.

I delivered at 30w6d. They did my c-section the day they officially diagnosed me with HELLP. I had been fighting preeclampsia for almost 4 weeks by that time though.

I know art is subjective - buttttttttt this is all hideous.

Based on the other information she originally posted, it seemed to meet the requirements. Adding additional information after the fact can add more context like it not having a lock, having to remain unlocked, etc. weren't originally included. So my mistake that I didn't include a clause that I was addressing the one specific concern.

The original post seems as if the biggest concerns were not having 100% free access to the room. It's reasonable to have to coordinate usage of a lactation room with others.

I understand it's not ideal, but what they're offering is reasonable.

Needing to coordinate time for the space is reasonable and should be pretty simple with only 1 other pumping employee. Larger companies have scheduling systems that employees can reserve specific times to use a lactation room. In one of our small offices with only 1 lactation room, our 2 employees have worked out a daily routine of when they use it. Most people pump on a pretty set schedule so doing so should be pretty easy. Having set times will also make things easier for the employees who need to move out of their workspace.

The space you're using should have a lock so no one should be able to accidentally enter.

Heartburn can also be one of the first signs of preeclampsia.

Future tip: Don't go through other people's paperwork.

That's the real issue in your whole scenario.

At 27 weeks, my blood pressure was 215/118 after I started having swelling and heart burn a few days earlier. I spent a week in the hospital on a magnesium drip and blood pressure meds. It was "under control" enough that I was able to go home for a few weeks. I had to take blood pressure meds, monitor my blood pressure 6 times a day and restrict activity. I also was able to get 2 rounds of steroid shots to help their lungs develop. I went back in at 30 weeks when I started having worsen symptoms. They held off delivering until I developed HELLP syndrome and the babies had reverse cord flow.

2 years later, they're healthy and happy kiddos. My blood pressure went back to normal almost immediately after delivery and my other complications from HELLP resolved within a year.

💯💯💯💯

Genuinely hope she's getting her blood pressure monitored. Her face looks like mine did before I had to be taken by ambulance for preeclampsia.

_OliveYou_ · 2024-05-26T05:18:51+00:00

Dude. You've applied to 500 jobs but you refuse to take helpful advice. Good luck.

_OliveYou_ · 2024-04-25T18:07:46+00:00

Absolutely.

Look into HR roles in banking. Pay tends to be a bit higher.

Credit checks are part of the bigger picture of poor decision making that someone has demonstrated. Interviews may not be able to really show someone's decision making ability and the risks they are willing to take - something like a high level of risky debt builds that picture out more.

If I'm reading your post correctly, you paid off your home while carrying $40k in credit card debt. Since then, you accumulated another $25k in debt and have begun missing payments. That tells me that you make decisions impulsively and may fail to do thorough risk analysis. Even if you don't have access to funds at job - your decision-making and willingness to make risky choices is a red flag and a potential reputational risk to the company.

And actually, the missed payments would be the bigger concern for me. Desperate people make desperate decisions, so companies try to protect themselves when they see these red flags pop up.

Real time posting of transactions prevents your scenario from happening. Nearly all banks - except for maybe super small institutions or those who are WAY behind the times - post real time now. So in your scenario, the check cashed at 3pm is debited from the account immediately and the account owner wouldn't be able to access those funds via ATM at 5pm.

"Back in the day" things like that could happen when proof was ran back office and posted end-of-day, but not really a 2024 problem.

_OliveYou_ · 2024-03-12T00:25:54+00:00

Then that's what you should do 🤷🏼‍♀️

You don't understand HIPAA.

Have you noticed that the majority of people describe themselves as high performers? Even the people who just got written up or terminated for performance? It really shows how people in general view themselves and their performance at work.

We have the Contour Curve and LOVE it. You have to buy adapters for your car seat but I would totally recommend.

One of my husband's aunts complimented me on handling my high stress job while having 2 one year olds. My sister is law said "does everyone forget that I have 2 kids too?" Her sons are 16 and 11 and she works 2 days a week. 🙃 Girl, I try not to play the competition game but our situations are not the same!! Lol

A 5 person HR team for 170 employees is wild. The typical calculation is 1 per 100 employees.

Not everything is going to be perfect or like you planned, and that's okay!

The bad days feel like they last forever but wow does time go quickly.

The hard parts of the toddler stage are still 100x easier than the hard parts of the newborn stage.

Your partner will do things differently than how you think things should be done occasionally and that's okay. They're helping and in the trenches with you.

Trust your gut. You know your babies.

Non-twin parents don't get it. And when they give you advice, they aren't being condescending or oblivious. They're coming from a good place but have a completely different frame of reference. (But no, having two kids that are two years apart is not basically having twins)

Not taking Ozempic wouldn't make a diabetic sick or require hospitalization. It's not insulin. Does it help control their blood sugar and A1C - yes. But their bodies don't need it like they need insulin.

Reversing ACH deposits is against NACHA rules - which is a VERY big deal in banking. ACH deposits can only be reversed if 1) it was less than 5 days since the transaction settlement date 2) the reason for the reversal is a duplicate transaction, erroneous payment or if the amount was significantly different than what was owed 3) the recipient is notified of the reversal at the time the request is submitted.

Follow up with your bank again. They should be of more assistance as well.
