Has anyone successfully applied to long term disability due to postpartum depression in U.S? If yes, what type of doctors supported your claim? Did you have to take medicine? I’m still breastfeeding, thanks!

Sending hugs. Both OB and therapist were involved, as well as medication. Please DM for more info. It gets better with one small step at a time.

I had anxiety once I returned from maternity leave- I’m sure it was postpartum related. I got short term disability for 2 months through my therapist. I was very close to needing long term disability and don’t think it would have been a problem since I was able to get the short term disability extended without issue.
Good luck- sorry you’re going through this

First, I’m so sorry to hear you’re struggling. I hope you’re getting the help you need from your doctors and community. If you don’t already have a therapist and psychiatrist whom you see regularly, I highly recommend starting this relationship ASAP as many STD providers look for long term relationships to validate these claims. Some STD providers may also want to see that you’re taking medication (at least it felt that way to me I. My experiences in seeking mental health related disability).

If you need medicine to get the claim approved, get the prescription filled but just don’t take it.

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?

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.

When did you tell work about your pregnancy?

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!
