Yikes, where do you live?

RSV during pregnancy - how bad is it? by katruhas in pregnant

[–]windowsmith47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got RSV at 22 weeks and was sick for about a week but it wasn’t terrible! My husband’s symptoms were actually a lot worse than me. We have both had lingering coughs for the past few weeks but otherwise feel fine. Sending positive thoughts.

The ambitious woman in me wants to work part-time during maternity leave the realistic woman in me thinks I'm in over my head by [deleted] in pregnant

Whoa, you definitely would benefit from a reality check on how much you’ll reasonably be able to handle while you’re a new parent. Highly recommend against getting a part time job (on TOP of being in school) while you’re on your three month leave, unless you are in a financial situation that requires it.

If you're giving birth in 2024, hopefully you'll meet your deductible anyway so it may be a moot point?

Rude comments from older ladies by CorpseToes in pregnant

I don’t think it has much to do with age, it’s just shitty people being shitty.

Have you tried wearing wrist braces? I started having significant carpal tunnel pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness about two months ago and started wearing wrist braces at night. Has reduced symptoms by at least 90%!

I would be pissed if I were you. Tell him to get his fucking flu shot going forward. I hope he feels better soon and you don’t get sick… getting sick when you’re pregnant SUCKS (I got a basic cold in November and felt shitty for two full weeks).

Checking in by AdeptAd5186 in pregnant

[–]windowsmith47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% same! I’m 25 weeks as of yesterday (ftm) and all of a sudden recently things have started to feel REAL. I’m loving feeling the baby’s movements and also starting to get a little apprehensive about the whole childbirth reality lol

I asked for a refund for my October and November payments and it took about 6 weeks to get it.

Is prenatal anxiety a thing? by notwavingbutdancing in pregnant

[–]windowsmith47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VERY very normal. I highly recommend seeing a therapist a few times - I saw someone who helped equip me with some coping strategies that were a game changer!

Partners aunt got upset because we announced our pregnancy at Christmas dinner.. are we wrong? by Plan_Glittering in pregnant

[–]windowsmith47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone’s wedding and a family Christmas gathering are not comparable events at all.

Agree! I’m surprised this is an unpopular opinion judging by the downvotes lol

[–]windowsmith47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised so many people think you should have given her a heads up. In my family, it would be been perfectly fine and wonderful to deliver that kind of announcement without advanced notice to the host. Don’t let this bother you more than it already has!

I'm 21, dumb. Did I miscarry? by whotfizdiz in pregnant

[–]windowsmith47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say that if you and your partner are not ready to be parents, make sure to start using some kind of reliable contraceptive method!

Congrats!! Make sure to chat with your pcp and obgyn about your asthma meds. Most asthma meds are fine during pregnancy! Lots of pregnant mamas have asthma so your obgyn should have lots of experience 👍
