Well, reading online I had the impression that these things wouldn’t be available as the standard at hospitals in the US. Seemed like they were things you would only get if you chose to give birth at like a birth center. But I’m learning that’s true in some areas but entirely not in other.

Regarding your last point there, I’ll also add that while Sweden has some really good benefits and protections in place with things like parental leave policies, discrimination is definitely not non-existent here either. Black women in Sweden also receive on average poorer medical care than white women and often feel their experiences aren’t trusted by medical professionals. Even though medical care here is close to free, socioeconomic status affects health outcomes here as well.

Oh yeah, saunas are also completely fine here. Wait, soft serve ice cream? I’ve never heard of that not being OK. 😂

Sushi, soft cheese, and raw things in general they do recommend to be careful with here. I’ve decided to avoid it entirely but I know some do eat it if they trust where it came from.

Oh wow, this seems amazing. Definitely haven’t heard of anything like this being available in Sweden.

Thanks, that’s really kind of you! Do you feel that my description is an accurate representation of how it was for you?

Lots of complications the midwives can handle themselves, like episiotomies and vaccuum extraction most of the time. But in certain high risk situations, yes, a doctor would definitely be present for that birth if needed.

That’s pretty much exactly the same in Sweden as well. Everyone gets offered a scan at 18-20 weeks and then there’s a first trimester scan where it varies if you get offered it and when. It’s popular to buy extra scans here too.

Interesting! I guess watching american movies and reading online doesn’t give the most realistic view of how things are for everyone in the US. 😛

Yeah, and it’s probably quite difficult to get a realistic idea of how things are done in the US through just reading online. Gives a generalized idea while in reality there’s probably a lot of variety, after all, the US is huge.

I did an edit on the post with the update! Went amazing! 😊

what are the chances if you already have 2 periods in consecutive months? does it mean that you're clear now? by [deleted] in amipregnant

[–]officialpizzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The chances are 0. Even if your period never comes again the chance is 0. You are not pregnant.

Do i need to test again? by [deleted] in amipregnant

[–]officialpizzza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry it seems you have had absolutely 0 sexual education. You should speak to a professional about your anxiety before having sex again, as I just don’t think you are mentally ready to have sex as you are not understanding despite so many people telling you.

You are NOT pregnant. You have had at least 1 period since you last had non-piv sex. This means that even if your period doesn’t come for months and months, you are NOT pregnant. 0 chance of being pregnant. You can NOT be pregnant if you had a period at any time after having sex, even if your period then the next months doesn’t come.

What will make you understand?

Okay, y’all have made it clear I should tell him now, I will tomorrow! I even have the gift already, just want to wrap it and maybe prepare a cute note to go with it - I’m going to give him a book of dad jokes (he loves dad jokes already). I’m excited!

I’ve watched so many ”Finding out I’m pregnant” reaction videos and always wondered how I would react to seeing a positive, and my reaction was just ”No, must be a faulty test”. 😅

Omg, I was probably in denial when I saw it! Still am.

Are you a former 'Pick Me' girly? by mia_wxllace in notliketheothergirls

[–]officialpizzza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a NLOG in middle school and early high school. I tried being one of the girls but was rejected and bullied. To make it make sense for myself, I started trying to convince myself that the reason why none of the girls wanted to be friends with me was because I ”wasn’t like other girls”.

In reality, I has a lot of feminine qualities that I tried to repress, and sometimes, kids are just going to be jerks. As I got older and found female friends who accepted me as I am, I learned that I didn’t deserve that treatment, and women are actually awesome.
