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!

She had covid around the 7 months pregnant mark. Boy is 10.5 months old now, doing fine

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.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
