Dads did any of your wives have covid when pregnant and have baby boys? I read an article about how it impacts boys 12months and over if the mom had covid during pregnancy. My son is my world and I'm terrified. Any Dads of older boys seeing any issues?

As a former scientist myself, I would say 3 things that have helped me navigate the crazy number of anxiety-provoking medical studies as a parent:

1) Just showing something has a statistically significant effect is different than saying its common. Paper could be saying, we’re >95% sure that 0.5% of boys whose mom had COVID struggle with…”

2) Think about long term outcomes, not short term proxies - I.e., does the research suggest kids that struggle into adolescence with socialization or development, or just that they are one-month slower to start walking.

3) Just because a paper’s been published doesn’t mean it’s true. I always look at the name of the journal first, there are a few that I know to carry more weight (Science, Nature, NEJM). Even then, many of these kind of studies will be proven incorrect later - it’s really tough to control for all socioeconomic and geographic variables.

From a scientific perspective what you’ve described sounds far-stretched. There isn’t much differentiated about male vs female development in-utero, so by what mechanism would COVID impact one more than the other? That sounds more likely to be overfitting data and coming away with a false conclusion.

My wife had covid at the very beginning of her pregnancy. My son is 19 months and is picture perfect (to me). Only thing wrong is that he’s too energetic and can climb literally anything.

Wife got booster while pregnant. I got covid when she was a couple mos along but she never got it from me somehow. Son was born (healthy). We both got covid while he was 4 mo. He remained unphased. She got booster again when he was 8 mos. He’s now nine mos, and he’s perfectly healthy.

My oldest son got his vaccine(s) after his 6th bday. Got covid twice before that from his sister. No issues and perfectly healthy.

My wife got covid at 6 months. Placenta was a bit darker. Our mid wife said that would be the only known cause. Our baby girl is six months now and has no issues. Everything should be fine. Best wishes!

My wife had in 9th month and our baby girl turned out to be fine, she will be 2 soon. Covid infection is not as fatal it used to be.

Woman approaching 40, dated once, LTR once and heartbroken by 32 as I found the man in LTR was cheating on me. Shut my heart completely to ensure never give anyone the power to hurt me.

I just wish I had someone to plant a good morning kiss, like simple things in life. Hard to share these feelings, hence confessing

Please share any suggestions you have below! No limits in terms of activity or budget. I have about 8-9 weeks that I plans to cover.

Thank you!

Seems that the vaccine that usually takes more than 10 years to develop, test for side effects and go through the regulation process is being very fast tracked to roll out - which is a super great thing to potentially eradicate the virus. on the other side of the spectrum, people with life sciences n healthcare insights, how reliable and safe would you say vaccine (being fast tracked) is...?

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?
