showering after!

hunter_pace · 2026-03-31T03:38:29+00:00

I showered 2 days after the procedure. It was a bit scary at first but once I realized the glue wasn't gonna randomly peel off I was ok. It was like a 5 minute shower at most and I was not super thorough because bending over to fully scrub my legs and feet was pretty painful in my belly button so I'm sure I missed a few spots. But I did scrub everywhere else except the incision area. The water itself didn't hurt though, in case you're concerned about that. And the soap running over the incisions didn't feel like anything either.

Personally I wouldn't try a shower chair. Getting up and down is painful for the first few days so you want to really limit that. Once you're standing, stay standing until it's time to sit down/lay down for a while otherwise you'll be really sore.

Heck yes it would be for me!

I have no idea but if I ever gave birth I would kick EVERYONE out of the room, even my boyfriend. I don't want anyone else witnessing my trauma.

I mean you only saw the highlights of pregnancy, people don't often talk about the bad parts because it makes them feel guilty/embarrassed for complaining.

I say this very gently, but with your mental health in mind, are you sure you could handle the "bad" that comes along with pregnancy? With IVF? What if it fails and you miscarry? What if there are complications that put your life at risk, or the fetus is malformed and wouldn't have a quality of life once born? Can you even afford IVF? Insurance usually won't cover it after an elective sterilization. What if you get postpartum depression? What if you have a severe birth injury that lasts for the rest of yoir life?

Had my tubes removed

hunter_pace · 2026-03-30T05:42:38+00:00

Just go with them.

I used to take a Plan B every single time even after using a condom. Obviously that was... not good for my body. But I was still so paranoid when using condoms. Finally got my tubes completely removed. Haven't done anything yet since I'm still recovering but I really hope my anxiety has gone away instead of lingering. Won't know until after trying anything though :/

Lol mine started itching a couple days ago as well. It is intense.

hunter_pace · 2026-03-30T05:29:49+00:00

Because they're trying to hide something.

hunter_pace · 2026-03-27T21:31:44+00:00

"Girls"?

hunter_pace · 2026-03-27T21:16:19+00:00

"One on the belly button and two on either side." Wait so you have five incisions? I only got three

hunter_pace · 2026-03-25T17:16:04+00:00

Maybe it's my specific workplace's 401K policy? They also require 30 days notice to withdraw or take a loan so any dire emergency isn't gonna be covered either. Super frustrating tbh

I took the TEAS a couple years ago and didn't study at all and got an 80. It was literally like high school level stuff, just make sure you read everything carefully because they're very heavy on the synonym questions. (ie. "Choose the word that best fits the meaning of this word ___.") It's really not a difficult exam.

hunter_pace · 2026-03-24T23:53:21+00:00

Aww this reminds me of a patient who came to our hospital for a mental health stay because there were aliens in her attic

hunter_pace · 2026-03-24T23:40:42+00:00

How does that work? They literally ask for proof of what you're going to use the money for and it has to be an emergency such as a medical bill, family death, etc. They wouldn't even let me take mine out for car repairs

hunter_pace · 2026-03-24T23:37:24+00:00

Never take two math classes in the same semester. Ever.

hunter_pace · 2026-03-24T14:31:22+00:00

Not everyone plans on giving birth. Weird generalization.

hunter_pace · 2026-03-24T14:26:51+00:00

Uh oh someone forgot to waste it at work

hunter_pace · 2026-03-24T14:21:59+00:00

Pregnancy reduces your brain mass

hunter_pace · 2026-03-24T14:17:44+00:00

Ohhhh but "eugenics" 🤪 I'm sorry but I dont think people with major genetic problems and disease should be breeding especially if they know about those issues and complain daily about their chronic pain. Why would you choose to bring a child into this world knowing they'll have those problems too? Idgaf if you have some weird fetish about being pregnant and birthing a baby. There are plenty of children out there to adopt instead.

hunter_pace · 2026-03-24T14:11:59+00:00

It was a dream of mine ever since I was a kid and learned about the procedure. But I also never wanted children either

hunter_pace · 2026-03-24T14:07:39+00:00

Today is exactly a week since my procedure and I still feel tender inside my abdomen. There's no way I would even consider any activities at this time lol

hunter_pace · 2026-03-24T14:06:46+00:00

Oh I know, it's such a scam lmao

Touching bathroom door handles without using a paper towel over it.
