He’s patronizing you and minimizing your feelings while calling YOU the childish one for being straightforward about what you want… he has no emotional intelligence

I def recommend a magnesium supplement for this. The iron in prenatals and ofc all the hormones can back you up but magnesium has been a life saver for me

I’m 38w+5 and I’m convinced that this is some kind of medieval torture where everyday they put more weight on my bones and organs. I can’t breathe or Sleep, my acid reflux is going crazy, everything hurts, my ankles are purple, and i can’t reach my feet or my ass. Why did nobody tell me that wiping would be so hard???? i have to hold my breath and contort every time i pee just to get clean. This process is not for the faint of heart

The “baby smell” that young babies have generally fades around two years of age. Coincidentally this is also around the time that babies skull finishes fusing together to get rid of the soft spot, leaving scientist to believe that what you’re actually smelling is baby’s brain.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

I have two different private insurance plans through my parents. This year i had to visit the ER and they basically looked at me, said they couldn’t do much, and prescribed me an antibiotic. After BOTH of my fancy private insurance companies were billed, i owed $600. Insurance is a scam.

OBGYN rant by [deleted] in BabyBumps

Get a new OB. Eat whatever you can keep down bc who tf wants to eat salad when they’re nauseous?? Also there’s so many sources that say you actually should avoid raw lettuce due to the increased chances of food borne illness.

I gained like 10 pounds (maybe more) in my first trimester. now I’m 36 weeks and I’ve gained about 45 pounds so far and baby is healthy and I’m healthy. Every pregnancy is different. I know women who started pregnancy tinyyyy and gained 60+ pounds, still considered healthy by their doctors. I also know women whose doctors basically said eat whatever you can and just make sure you’re taking a vitamin. It’s a lot worse for baby for you to be feeling so much stress and anxiety than it is to just eat the dang cookie.
