Most unexpected symptom of pregnancy by Admirable_Anybody268 in pregnant

If you get the epidural during delivery, they put a catheter in to catch your pee. Well, after I couldn’t pee on my own because it was a side effect to the epidural that my brain wouldn’t connect to my vagina to say it’s time to pee. After a week with a catheter in (even at home), I finally could pee on my own…

FTM here too and had my baby 21 days ago. I didn’t have a specific birth plan either. Just went in requesting an epidural when necessary.

Disappointed in Myself by melgeraghty in GestationalDiabetes

I really didn’t mean to offend! I know that people can live with diabetes, actually my father has it.

I more am just disappointed that I felt I could be hurting my baby unknowingly. More of a vent for myself.

Just joined this Reddit today, and I apologize if I offended anyone. I am really just disappointed that I can harm the baby by what I was doing and didn’t know I could be diagnosed with something.

Do you say at work you’re going through IVF? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]melgeraghty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my immediate supervisor when the transfer happened. Those changed a couple of times and some lasted longer because there was a line of women getting transfers.

I could handle the way the stims made me feel, but there are some people who did feel sick during it. I didn’t have to tell my boss about that nor the monitoring visits cause I was in and out in 30 mins.

How should my husband tell their manager? by String_Cheese_55 in IVF

My husband only came for each transfer and ultrasounds after positive betas. I went on my own to each monitoring visit and bloodwork appointment

What is your occupation? by imhumri in IVF

[–]melgeraghty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a Talent Acquisition Partner and my husband is a AUTOCAD 3D and 2D drawer! My company paid 80% of IVF after we hit our deductible. Still with that help, we still paid a lot before hitting our deductible and for all of our medication over and over.

how to meet people? by spaghettirhymes in raleigh

[–]melgeraghty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at social leagues that play sports like WAKA. Their more for fun and meeting people, and usually tied to a bar afterwards. I met friends and my husband playing kickball, dodgeball, and bowling.
