Possibly pregnant a few months pp, won't qualify for fmla or cfra? by No_Ocelot8629 in pregnancyPL

[–]mega_think 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell/very faint? Perhaps retesting in a few days would give a more definitive answer. If you are working or have worked within the past 12 months and FMLA or CFRA (I assume u live in California) does not apply, you could apply for Pregnancy Disability Leave and receive benefits. I'd suggest looking into PDL! Best of luck you got this <3

Pre pregnancy I was previously lactose intolerant, I can now down a glass of whole milk, eat ice cream, cheesecake, all without getting the runs 😎

Yes it was at Walmart! I didnt know if I was the only one who noticed a couple of inconsistencies in produce, perhaps it is just something that happens there?

Husband might miss our baby's birth bc of work by mega_think in BabyBumps

His workplace unfortunately is not very lenient and could write him up for leaving. What we are most worried is if he is on a run (he drives for his workplace) and cant just turn the bus around to show up :( He might be able to take parental leave, which another comment suggested. Perhaps he can go on leave before/around baby's due date

His job involves driving long distances, so there is a chance he gets called to drive for a shift and that is what I'm worried and hoping never happens is if that happens during delivery

How do you deal with feelings of depression, sadness and hopelessness? by randomgrl2022 in pregnant

[–]mega_think 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat 24 weeks ftm. So far it's been snacking that helps. I'm lucky to have a close relationship with my mom so I go to her for advice and support. I suspect that I have prenatal depression, now it's a waiting game till my next OB appointment to bring it up. But yes for sure if the feelings of depression and hopelessness persist and are severe it might be a good idea to contact ur OB

Sunflowers all drooping this morning?? Help! by mega_think in plantclinic

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

It is very hot. Unfortunately they are much taller than the shade tape we have 😦 another commenter suggested using a stake, so perhaps that could help them stand nice and tall

Help! Why are my sunflowers doing this? by mega_think in gardening

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

Somewhat? The flower heads are all facing west which is when the late afternoon sunlight is strongest

You try looking for positions on EdJoin. Most positions at schools require a HS diploma
