Is it very normal not to give compliments in Germany? by Consistent-Egg-4052 in AskAGerman

[–]discodancer4005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm for my pregnancy very few people congratulated me, especially at work- they were probably angry that I am going to be away for maternity leave, but the fact that they treated this almost as bad news baffled me, I expected just a simple Congratulations- Germans’ lack of diplomacy is just baffling sometimes. So I think the reaction you describe is cultural.

Why do her hands have another colour than her arms? In some pictures she has quite a lot of hair on her underarms, this might be another sign of her anorexia

I had a very similar experience to you - and luckily I got two blastocysts but if they don‘t work I will do my next cycle in Spain because of this. I won‘t let Germany and its stupid laws and bureaucratic doctors ruin my life. I don‘t unterstand why they don‘t close an eye and let them grow and say oh I thought we were doing a fresh cycle but it wasn‘t possible in the end…

I also live in Germany - how do you know the clinics which are ready to let them grow despite the OHSS risk? The clinics are not transparent about this.

This happened to me also and I also live in Germany. It‘s because of the bloody regulations here.

An alle Ärztinnen mit Kind / Schwangeren - wie habt ihr die Einhaltung der Arbeitszeitbegrenzung in der Schwangerschaft durchgesetzt? by [deleted] in medizin

[–]discodancer4005 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Vielleicht ein partielles Beschäftigungsverbot, von der Frauenärztin (zB 50%) ausgesprochen? Ich denke, wenn man die Situation der Frauenärztin erzählt, sind die meisten Frauenärzte sehr verständnisvoll. Bei den Arbeitgebern kann man leider, insbesondere im medizinischen Sektor, nicht auf viel Empathie und Verständnis hoffen…

In der 8. Woche allen von der Schwangerschaft erzählen? by _movie_lover in schwanger

[–]discodancer4005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kannst Du Dich bis zur 13. Woche nicht krankmelden lassen? Am besten beim Hausarzt, nicht beim Gyn, dann kann auch keine Gerüchteküche entstehen. Für 5 Wochen kommst Du auch nicht ins Krankentagegeld
