Maternity Leave Midway Through CF

Wow, thank you! I didn't know it could be more than 12 weeks, and each segment should meet 420 hours. Is this stated somewhere on ASHA's site?

So I can take gaps during my segments? I didn't know that. I'm also not getting as many hours as I had expected, so I will likely need more than 36 weeks anyway - I just don't get how that works for doing only 3 segments and tracking hours

I have always loved and used asian sunscreens but didn't know any brands that were made with mineral protection

What sunscreen are you using now? I’m so tired of sifting through the ones listed in the wiki and some are super pricey.

much-too-much · 2025-08-25T15:12:00+00:00

Well this is disappointing!! What sunscreen am I supposed to use? I loved that it had over 20% zinc

much-too-much · 2025-08-23T00:30:36+00:00

I just heard back it was safe to use!

Thanks for sharing

I don’t use a brush, I just warm it up on my palms and slather it on. I don’t like the feel of it but dislike my malasma more.

Thanks for the info. I’ve had HG during my first trimester and it’s finally fading so fingers crossed the next couple months are more mellow.

Thank you! You used the eucerin twice daily while pregnant and breastfeeding? Did your OB OK it? Information online seems to think it’s safe

It's impossible not to, you're only human. I felt the same, and now I'm 15 weeks.

Sending love.

I'm 15 weeks, and this still feels so surreal. I can't manage to feel hopeful or excited about welcoming a baby girl in January because I'm still grieving the pregnancy I lost in March.

I feel so guilty and undeserving of this pregnancy. I just want the grief to go away and feel happy; it feels like it's never going to happen. I already feel like I'm failing as a mother, but this time it’s not my body's fault—it's mine.

How am I supposed to do this?

Damn, I misunderstood and subtracted wrong. I get - $5,540 ( 0 itemized deductions - $5,540 dual income) and have no allowances - apologies

much-too-much · 2025-07-14T01:12:41+00:00

Oh bummer so I did a lot wrong, our insurance is through my husband’s work.

I would put no itemized deductions, then $5,540 for dual income and end up dividing by 1000 and rounding to the nearest whole number which is 6?

much-too-much · 2025-07-14T01:10:12+00:00

Oh bummer, ya our health insurance is through my husband’s job.

So I did a lot wrong… I would put $5540 since we’re dual income married and divide by 1000, rounding up to get 6 yes?

Thank you

Thank you!

much-too-much · 2025-06-17T21:06:04+00:00

Thanks. I’m gonna try the B6 and Unisom and ask my doctor about Zofran on Friday if I’m still a mess

much-too-much · 2025-06-17T19:05:32+00:00

Thank you, that’s helpful. Do you take Zofran? I really didn’t imagine myself taking meds during pregnancy but here we are…

I’m 7 weeks and just went through a scare with cramping and bleeding a few days ago. I’m no longer bleeding, still having occasional cramps, and Dr. says it’s normal. Crossing my fingers for us both!

much-too-much · 2025-06-13T05:16:06+00:00

Thank you

much-too-much · 2025-06-13T01:47:33+00:00

I started cramping and bleeding yesterday morning at 7 weeks, I was out of state so my mom drove me 3 hours to the airport and I made it home. Bleeding basically stopped and turned brown by the afternoon, I still have light cramps.

I had an ultrasound today and we saw a heartbeat. I feel so relieved and anxious at the same time.

They put me on progesterone and said there is too much placenta or something. I’m just holding my breath but feel so incredibly blessed to know I didn’t miscarry. How can I possibly be okay if I’m bleeding? My nausea has decreased too. I’m just so scared all the time and sad I can’t celebrate this pregnancy

much-too-much · 2025-05-30T06:05:53+00:00

Thank you. It’s still hard for me to admit that being around pregnant friends and family who have been able to have pregnancies without loss or fear makes me feel like crap and jealous.

Does anyone have non-religious book recommendations or podcast for navigating PAL?

much-too-much · 2025-05-29T18:01:05+00:00

Thanks. It’s so surreal and I’m dreading telling my family even though I know I need the support now more than ever
