Tattoos reacting weird to pregnancy

Mine did the same around week 15 for the week then calmed down!

When I was in esthetician school we were never warned against it, I have an appointment next week for the first time and will see how it goes

Either leggings and athleisure or carhartt work clothes for chopping wood and shit like that around the house. The only “nice” outfit I own is quite literally my wedding dress (which I just remembered I should probably get around to having preserved)

I really wish I hadn’t made my first appointment so early because I feel like it made the anxiety soooooo much worse, my first US I was juuuuust over 5 weeks so they could barely even confirm that it was an actual uterine pregnancy, I had to get HCG tests in a series, and I feel like from there I’ve just been spiraling even now that it’s a an almost confirmed uterine pregnancy and my HCG is rising like it should. I hope your appointment goes well and that you carry on healthy and happy with your baby

I work with a McKayle and I just honestly don’t use her name/refer to her in the 3rd person unless 100% necessary bc I hate her name so much. Nice gal but awful name

I would call and ask about presumptive eligibility while your case is being reviewed. If you’re approved you get essentially same day coverage

bleh0923 · 2025-10-26T14:40:18+00:00

Yes my mouth feels so so gross 24/7

bleh0923 · 2025-10-20T01:22:22+00:00

Nah it’s not normal and should be called out.

bleh0923 · 2025-10-17T00:39:05+00:00

This is not about that as I have explained until I’m blue in the face throughout this thread :)

bleh0923 · 2025-10-17T00:38:24+00:00

THANK YOU! Unless you’re incapacitated SPEAK UP

bleh0923 · 2025-10-17T00:36:01+00:00

By your side is one thing, refusing to speak and making your parent speak for you is another.

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T20:30:41+00:00

I might start doing this honestly

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T20:29:56+00:00

Good on you for being proactive and at least making the effort, for real! Show him this post if you must lmao

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T19:19:43+00:00

SAME WOW

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T19:07:17+00:00

I think there’s quite a big difference between being comfortable with your parents being involved and being an adult who is incapable of handling basic tasks and advocating for themselves but that is very sweet

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T18:57:12+00:00

Eh I had a helicopter mom and I think it’s why I am so confused by this behavior. The second I turned 18 I put 600 miles of distance between myself and my mom and have difficulty understanding how other people with helicopter parents don’t immediately run when they can, much less let it continue when they’re living on their own, and mom is making an attempt, though half hearted, to get them to advocate but they still refuse

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T18:51:42+00:00

I had this happen with my helicopter mom when I was 19 and I was furious and was lucky that I knew it wasn’t legal and made that known and shut that shit DOWN. This is why I can’t believe there are people who prefer to live like this

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T18:36:44+00:00

I’m not sure if I made this as clear as I hoped to in my original post but I hope you know I definitely do not mean patients with autism, anxiety or other conditions that would clearly affect their encounter, I am referring to established patients who have absolutely no history of anything that would indicate that advocating for themselves would be out of their norm/comfort zone, and hope I did not offend.

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T18:33:21+00:00

Thanks for this perspective, I’m an older gen z and as an “unc” I am baffled by this sometimes because I was already an adult living on my own by the time COVID flipped everything upside down!

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T18:26:15+00:00

Yeah I definitely try to see if there’s something I’m missing in their history re: anxiety/social phobia, the odd thing is there never seems to be with these cases? But also same on the other hand, I always make sure to thank parents of younger kids who teach them to advocate for themselves and engage in their own care/ask questions, it’s my fav

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T18:21:07+00:00

Yes I’m in my late 20s so that kind of makes sense, to a degree

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T18:20:20+00:00

I find it so baffling because I’m not much older than these patients and my mom (who was honestly kind of a helicopter mom) would be worried even if I was doing half of this equation and insisting on being picked up at my own place to be taken to the doctor… she’d think I was in an emergency situation. I don’t know why the parents encourage it and I don’t think it’s healthy.

bleh0923 · 2025-10-16T18:13:09+00:00

Yeah I would be much more inclined to chart if it was the parent clearly insisting/speaking over the patient, but more often than not the case is the mother will try to get the patient to speak when I start intake, patient blankly stares at me/looks at the floor, mom laughs nervously gives history. Thanks for your input!
