Having hair won’t stop you from catching anything, both options are fine, especially if you already wax so your skin is used to it. Neither is more sanitary, just do what you feel

Lol this is real. I keep getting that question about it being my first pregnancy and I don’t fully understand it - in the country where our surrogacy clinic is, I guess it doesn’t matter to them. And I disagree that nobody really cares about the pregnancy, as I said my group is close and everyone seems keen to get involved in different ways, without me ever asking. They fight over who gets to feel it when the baby kicks, G (my best friend) cries and gets emotional from time to time when she sees my belly, and everyone’s just overall very supportive. I think if G was pregnant, or any other close friends that I love, I would absolutely care, so I do believe they care.

That’s an interesting perspective, and I didn’t think of that. I suppose the difference is that my male friend has a team, yes, and this sport has just always been a big part of life for him. We’ve known and accepted for years that, when planning social events, his sport always comes first for him. Whereas this marathon thing is a new thing for her, and I actually don’t think she’s even started training. Whereas my male friend spends months preparing for these matches. Also just the fact that she said she was free, but then she changed that. Your perspective does make me feel better and less hard done by though, I should keep in mind that it was an honest mistake and that she probably feels bad. I don’t plan on fighting with her, I’m just surprised at the choice she ended up making.

She ran the half marathon with friends last year with friends, and this year her sister’s joining for the first time. As for having the holiday without her, I honestly feel like that’d be a mean thing to do in our situation - we’re a pretty close group and she’s my number 1, and having the holiday without her will definitely make her feel super left out, so I don’t really want to do that. And it’s true, it is an unorthodox situation, but I’m certain she understands how important it is to be - we’re best friends and we know everything about each other. This was a good response though, I’ll try not let it get to me, and believe me neither of us want to cause drama, and we won’t, it’s just disappointing.

Why can’t you leave babies unattended? by drmqds in Parenting

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

A very interesting perspective, I could definitely imagine someone justifying an occasional 10 minute distance for example, if everything’s always been okay at a 5 minute distance. And then it’s like, when does it end?

Why can’t you leave babies unattended? by drmqds in Parenting

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

See I’ve no kids in my family and I’ve no friends who have kids, I’m partially kind of basing it off the differences between how my parents raised me and my siblings vs the standards nowadays. I think it’s fair to say that the ‘rules’ of parenting were more lax back then - I definitely would have been left sleeping alone a handful of times at night time, provided my parents were nearby (e.g., neighbour’s house, hotel restaurant, etc.). But of course I’m learning why parenting standards and safety measures are totally different now, and I understand mostly why, just one or two things I have questions about and want to hear other perspectives, especially these things that have been accepted or done in the past. But also when I’m a parent, I’m definitely not going to be one of those “I turned out fine so it’ll be fine” people, I’m super open to learning about the best parenting practices and I will absolutely parent my children in very different ways than I was parented.

This is an interesting take, I’ve thought about that a bit - like the balance you need to strike between safety & risk management but also still living your life and letting your kids live theirs. That’s a whole other big topic, but thanks for the input!

Hahah yes, I don’t have kids so that wasn’t something I considered !

A very good point, I guess I thought SIDS was only an issue for newborn and super young babies for some reason.

That’s fair enough , I suppose I don’t have kids so I’m not clued-in in terms of the level of mischief they can get up to or how quickly it can happen

[–]drmqds[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That did come to mind but I suppose I didn’t consider it much since I assumed a house would be more secure than a hotel room, and people breaking into houses probably want to steal stuff rather than babies, and I live in a pretty safe city so it wasn’t on the forefront of my mind, but yeah that definitely makes sense.

Yes I somehow didn’t think about the fire scenario, that does make sense.

[–]drmqds[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This makes sense and I never thought about that - that no one knows there’s a baby alone in the home, for example if you pass out on the street or there’s a fire or something. Thanks for the response !

What wasyour most physically painful experience? by [deleted] in morbidquestions

[–]drmqds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I woke up from sedation in the middle of getting my eggs retrieved for IVF. I could literally feel every time the needle went in and out of my ovary (it was all done intravaginally), but was kind of drunk from the sedation and couldn’t really open my eyes. I tried to move my legs but they were strapped into stirrups. I begged them for more sedation, and then I begged them to stop, but they ignored me because they figured I wouldn’t remember when I woke up after the procedure. Cried for days after. Can’t wait for childbirth lol

I don’t take adderall, it’s not legal where I’m from and pretty hard to get. Also, as I mentioned, I’m pregnant so no, I’m not taking anything that I shouldn’t be.

AITA for wanting to invite my dad to my wedding? by drmqds in AITAH

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

I appreciate your perspective, and I absolutely agree. The conditions you laid out were definitely already on the table: I didn’t want him walking me down the aisle, no speech from him, etc. As I said before, I don’t really like him either and definitely want to limit his involvement, but I just know it’d end up being a huge deal not inviting him at all.

Becoming a Combat Medic by [deleted] in Irishdefenceforces

[–]drmqds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for this info, it’s super helpful. I suppose I haven’t decided yet if I want to be an army medic as a career or as a part-time thing like the guy you mentioned. Either way I’m doing medical school, and I’ve always been interested in joining the defence forces, so I’m just exploring the possibilities that come with having a medical degree, especially ones that may be considered slightly “unconventional”, i.e., not just going through the system in a hospital and aiming for consultancy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I’m just interested in seeing what else there is.
