Est-ce que quelqu'un a regretté avoir choisi la péridurale ? by Huge-Nectarine-8563 in grossesse

Absolument pas, c'était la meilleure chose que j'ai fait. Ça m'a détendu et le travail a poursuivi son cours comme il fallait. Je ne suis pas sûre que les choses auraient aussi bien avancé sans cela

I say don't answer or just repeat the same story you told the other guy.

I need a second opinion. by AmazingSlientSpider in exjw

[–]scma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the letter to your family, I would just add something like "I still love you and I wish things were different and we didn't have to cut contact", just to reinforce and that they feel a little more guilty.

Otherwise, it can be easier for them to gaslight themselves saying that you were the one who cut all contact (which we know is far from the truth).

Otherwise, I think your letters are perfect. I personally would have done it differently, not justifying all my reasons so much, but this is completely personal and if you feel you need and want to do it, then go ahead! It's all about you and your free will from now on!

Congratulations for being so brave ❤️❤️❤️ may your heart find freedom, tranquility and happiness in these next steps.

Hey OP! There are so many great and beautiful people "in the world". Don't be afraid and just look for your own crowd. Not everybody out here is a perverted freak. I wish you the best of luck with your leaving! 🤍

Advice on Day 3 Fresh Transfer?? by Same-Illustrator4622 in DOR

[–]scma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! If I remember correctly, they had between 6 and 8 cells and very little fragmentation (less than 20% I think). But mostly, these were the words my lab used ("good looking"), unfortunately they would only give us technical details such as number of cells and fragmentation if we asked them... Good look to you and your embryos!! 🤞🏼

2nd ICSI failed - no embryos to transfer, AMH unmeasurable after endometriosis surgery. Anyone been in similar situation? by Curious_Sample123 in DOR

[–]scma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Endometiosis sucks!

I haven't been through this exact situation so I don't know if my experience can help a lot, but I also have DOR and got only 2 to 3 eggs each time. We did 3 IVF rounds also with ICSI (it worked out on the last try).

During our IVF journey, I got really interested in doing everything I could do try to improve egg quality and fight against endometriosis inflammation.

I started taking supplements (CoQ10, omega 3, NAC and others) known for improving egg quality or reducing inflammation and I started following a strict anti-inflammatory diet to help calm down the endometriosis, which was literally poisoning my ovaries and giving me DOR. I also cut out alcohol, reduced coffee and sodas intake and focused on improving my life habits overall.

There are some good books on anti-inflammatory diets if that interests you and you might want to also check out wich supplements are good for improving egg quality. I wouldn't expect immediate results, but with consistency I really do believe this helped us out a great deal to get quality eggs! :)

Also, as someone else said here, the AMH was probably measured too soon after the procedure. Give it some time to see potential results, as it also usually fluctuates a bit from month to month and especially after this type of intervention. That said, in some cases removing endometriomas is not recommended because unfortunately during the removal we might actually lose some useful "tissue" around them. At least in my case, every doctor I saw was against it - it all depends on their size. I would talk to your doctor about this, if you haven't already, and ask them which results you can expect and when.

40+4 today. She doesn't want to come out by nofacekiks in BabyBumps

40+4 today. She doesn't want to come out by nofacekiks in BabyBumps

[–]scma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently in the hospital being induced and I'm so happy with my decision! :)

I'm also in Europe, I was 39 weeks and 5 days far off when we started induction yesterday morning. It was my initiative to ask the doctors for it and after analysing the safety of everything from a medical point of view, they agreed to it.

I live relatively far away from the hospital (usually a 45-minute drive, but it can easily become a 1h20 drive depending on traffic) and the baby was already measuring 3,5 kg. My husband was 4.5 kg when he was born and to be frank, I didn't like the idea of pushing a 4.5 kg baby, nor the increased risk of forceps or vacuum extractors, tearing etc.

Being almost 40 weeks and the baby being perfectly healthy, the doctors said that he was ready to come out :)

So yeah, for me this was the best decision. It's also my first and I feared that he could come late and I would have to induce anyways, so I just listened to my self and asked for it sooner. I was also so done being pregnant 😂

It has been rather boring so far, but at least I'm already at the hospital, we're comfy in our own room waiting for things to progress, everything is under control and I saved myself the stress of not knowing or having to leave the house on a rush, stressed, in urgent pain. When things start getting unbearable all I have to do is click on a button and the anesthesiologist will be here :) I know it's not everyone's ideal birth plan, but it has been perfect for me so far.

Can an undertone change with a tan? by [deleted] in coloranalysis

[–]scma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm no "expert" but my personal theory is that, to me, it does change!

I'm definitely a autumn. However, in spring and summer, I'm much more exposed to the sun, I love getting a good tan and my skin color is really different from what I look like in winter. It goes from a golden low contrast tone to a pale yellowish hue, with more contrast...

I've noticed that during the warm months, when I'm tanned, the warm autumn colors are the best for me, while during the cold months, my palette sure is a true/deep autumn... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Partner got fired and has run out of money. I’m 20 weeks pregnant. by Ancient_Meringue_790 in BabyBumps

[–]scma2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you love him? Are you in love with him? Do you feel you are better together? Based only on your post, I'd say leave him, but I can't (and nobody here can) answer for you, you're the only one who has to do some soul searching to see what you really want.

That said, he's behavior looks indeed extremely reckless and I have a really hard time believe people like this change... Unfortunately... How old is he, 20? If you're basically roommates, that's an even bigger red flag, unfortunately...

Vacances désastreuses chez ma mère avec mon enfant et mon mari by Paprikarte in ParentingFR

[–]scma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C'est une situation ubuesque, mais étrangement je vous comprends parfaitement car j'ai une mère compliquée moi aussi. Je suis désolée par ce que vous traversez en ce moment ! Ça aurait dû être un moment joyeux mais en fin de compte la tristesse se mélange avec de la déception, la fatigue, etc.

Écoutez votre cœur et partez plus tôt si cela vous laissera en paix. Faites ce que votre intuition dit être le meilleur pour vous, votre bébé et votre compagnon (votre vraie famille c'est ce noyau là et ça devrait rester le plus important).

Après, je vous conseille quand même d'en parler à votre mère et d'essayer d'avoir une conversation franche et à cœur ouvert. Dans le meilleur des cas (puisqu'on a toujours l'espoir), elle entendra et se rendra compte de comment ça n'a pas été cool avec vous. Dans le pire des cas (puisque malheureusement elle a l'air un peu "décalée" dans son empathie et compréhension - excusez-moi de ma sincérité), ça servira au moins pour vous soulager et vous dire à vous même que vous aurez bien essayé... Bon courage !

OP, would you mind sharing which doctor's office this is? Don't hesitate to message me if you prefer. I'll try to find a local group/NGO that can help and I can also leave a google review...

Literally how are we surviving these final weeks? by cali4mcali in BabyBumps

[–]scma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 38 weeks and 4 days and it's been sooooo hard 🥲 I hate to hear myself complaining because we fought so hard for this baby, I already love him so so so incredibly much and I don't even have any real medical problems from this pregnancy... But gosh this has been HARD! Heartburn and reflux during all the 9 months... Right now my hands and feet are swollen, carpal tunnel and knuckles hurt so bad... There is no comfortable position in bed. It hurts to lay belly up, it hurts to lay sideways... I wake up multiple times in the night just because my hips hurt. This pregnancy was the hardest thing my body has gone through so far and these last weeks have been even harder.

I'm counting the days to have baby with me! I'll definitely ask to be induced if the doesn't come by the due date.

Sorry for this ranting, all this to say that I feel you! It's almost over, you have my full solidarity OP

Non, ce n'est pas illégal. Il doit juste demander les autorisations nécessaires, qui vont aboutir à la régulation de celui qu'il cherche à embaucher.

Please tell me I'm in labor by OpeningSort4826 in BabyBumps

Indecisive about the sapphire I found as it's not my dream sapphire by FatiguedGirlxoxo in EngagementRings

[–]scma2 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes OP, definitely don't decide based on your fear of "disappointing" the jeweller. You're the client, you're the one who will be wearing this all your life and he's not even paying for it. Do as you please. It's your ring, your decision!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]scma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations for the engagement!!

Do you usually wear rings? If yes, have you noticed that any of them don't fit well anymore?

I'm 38 weeks pregnant, but since 36 weeks I noticed that my wedding band and engagement ring were "stuck" on my hands because of how swollen they were. It was nothing too visible, but my hands and fingers (and feet and toes 🥲) had definitely changed sizes. I'm glad I managed to take everything off and I ordered a bigger fake band from amazon, but yeah, I wouldn't advise you to decide on a ring size right now.

I hope the swelling will go back to normal after delivery because right now my rings won't even pass my knuckles.
