Here 28 weeks pregnant and tired of hearing you would need to do this for better lactation, you would have sleepless nights. Can a new mother not figure out on her own with the right scientific knowledge ? Is it important to go by what your parents , in-laws or known ones tell you ?

I have missed all the milestones of adulthood like marriage, kids, buying a house, and it’s hard to make those happen at this age. My career is behind and I have high anxiety around aging poor. Wtd?

My child needs psychotherapy. How many sessions does the United Healthcare insurance cover?

Anyone here who’s moved to industry and has a pretty decent work-life balance? I don’t know where to start to look for a new job and get an honest opinion about hours. I need to see my kids more.

My heads messed up. Feeling anxious about a situation with my ex (A) but ex (B) shows up after I’ve been distant with A ... I hooked up with B ... I hate that I feel neglected... (continue )

Does anyone else here really struggle to keep their personal life together? My career is going great but my finances, health, and room are all a mess and feel like I never have time to fix it

I had a recent loss in my immediate family. I feel like my boss does not believe me. He knew the family member had been in bad shape for weeks. Why do I feel the need to justify the loss to him?

A guy who is claiming to be in love with me (a black woman and immigrant), is a conservative (pro-trump, anti-gun laws, denies that there is racism etc). Are those red flags to make me cut him off?

Rant:

I don’t like asking or being asked personal questions at work. I’ll respond with “that’s a personal question” or “why?” My fav: “don’t ask questions you don’t need to know the answer to.”

In all the years I’ve been at this job I have not made one attempt to get to know anyone, 3 people won’t let up. They ask hella questions or share their life story, then seem shocked when I’m like “this has nothing to do with me” or “why are you telling me this,” why won’t they stop? Leave me be!🫥🫥

I loved this woman. We kinda ended up falling apart, i really miss her. Making some effort and talking might resolve and we could get back together. She said we can give another shot. Pros: she is a good person, cute, smart. Cons: temper issues, big spender and money management issues. I couldn’t move on but couldn’t make a decision. Any advise is appreciated.

Salaam. 26 M. Houston. My hobbies are traveling, watching sports, and hanging out with friends. Hope to get married this year, ان شاء الله.

Sadly this is where I ended up (going through divorce with 6mo infant). Abusive spouse wants shared custody when he doesn’t know a thing about taking care of an infant.. any advice would help re custody or divorce as well. We are not in speaking terms

What's the best relationship advice you've heard recently?

Are you fine with SO’s family still keeping in touch/following/liking/commenting on your SO’s ex’s Instagram? Pls give it to me straight thx 🙏

29F. I’ve become burnt out on spending my free time with people I don’t enjoy being around (i.e people who I feel relieved to leave after spending time with them). With that said, I’ve started to distance myself from my dad, 2 aunts, childhood best friend, and other friends. Has anyone gone through something similar? I just can’t get myself to muster the energy to be fake when I’m around them, but I feel guilty that I’m basically cutting them out of my life and am nervous I will regret doing so.

Sometimes things just stop working, out of no fault of yours or theirs or anyone's, but just because. Some people change, and some people don't, and inevitably, some things between those changing and unchanging people will stop working.

Wow I am so tired. I’m 12, almost 13 weeks and the fatigue has just hit me like a ton of bricks these past few weeks. It’s making it hard to focus or put in effort with work. Normally, this behavior would bother me… but I kind of don’t care? Anyone else relate?

In my first trimester, can I get a microneedling with PRP?

Newly pregnant here! Anyone get pregnant right after starting a new job? Nervous about telling my team and needing to take leave within my first year at the new company.

First trimester. I can only eat only meal a day and some light snacks. And all I feel like eating is carbs and fizzy drinks; french fries, chips, fried chicken, bread, nuts and some fruits. I know this is really unhealthy but how do I bring myself to have proteins and greens.
PS: I do get nausea and constipation but I never vomit. Just don’t feel like eating anything.

Struggling so much with nausea that i don't know how do i focus on work. I had to an off from work yeaterday. Wonder how many days can i keep taking unplanned leaves like this. My supervisor is aware of the situation, but the client isnt. Its also leaving a bad impression with 3-4 unplanned leaves a month .
Its getting impossible and i have just completed 3 months.
How would i survive another 6! My first pregnancy wasnt this hard.
Please share some words of advice or consolation

So I’m 32 weeks. I’m finding it very difficult to breathe and it’s hard to explain. I have normal pregnancy congestion especially at night but throughout the whole day too when I breathe (not congested or through my mouth) it feels like my lungs don’t take in enough oxygen and I don’t feel like I’ve actually taken a breathe, if that makes any sense at all. I’ve also been choking a lot recently not sure if related. Anyone else or am I just weird?

How did you all work through morning sickness in the first trimester? I am having a horrible time with nausea, throwing up and fatigue and wish could take the whole time off

I’m 16 weeks and my doctor recommended AFP testing to determine neural defects. We already did NT and NIPT which came back low risk. She said it’s to determine if we need to be doing an early anatomy scan sooner than 20 weeks. Anyone else done the AFP testing? It caught me by surprise because she hadn’t mentioned it at any of our prior appointments

Any women here struggle with hemmroids after a vaginal birth?

If so, did you see a colorectal surgeon to get them tied or remediated after pregnancy? I am sure they are here because I am pregnant and had them bad on first pregnancy around 32 weeks.

8 weeks pregnant, no sign of morning sickness. Should I be scared?

Has anyone had trouble finding an ob gyn? I just moved to my area and the recommended ob gyns are fully booked. The first date I can schedule is not until I'm 20+ weeks along. Would you just go to a lower rated ob (taking 2 out of 5 stars on Yelp) the first few weeks and then switch when you are able?

Hi! 26.5 weeks and already feel done. Gonna be a long 3 months from here.

Has anyone been able to get pregnant/have a healthy pregnancy with mild uterine prolapse?

Anyone got fever or chills after second vaccine shot ? How did you deal with it? Tylenol?

Considering how intensely the OB office said I need my blood drawn at exactly 1 hour after glucose drink, would a 4 min blood draw delay skew my results? Not finding any current research.

Might be a silly question - but can we choose to have a c-section over natural delivery? The thought of natural delivery scares me
