My wife is coming back from a conference and seems likely someone she was really close with the whole time has Covid. Question… how have you dealt with one parent getting Covid with a small child (just under a year)? Did that parent just quarantine totally? Mask up and still take care of the child? Kid will have to stay home from daycare for 5 days so really have no clue how to handle this assuming she ends up with Covid (obviously super hoping she doesn’t).

Does she have symptoms? I would try to just isolate her for a few days and see. Also have her load up on vitamins and zinc, sleep a lot. Reduce any further exposure and just hope for the best! If you really want to be safe just have her stay at a hotel for a couple more days and see if she tests positive.

Isolate immediately. If she doesn’t get covid right away and hasn’t been around the kiddo, most daycares won’t require a quarantine (ours is contact within 2 days of a positive test). Otherwise, we isolated. It’s terrible, but you’ll make it through.

Just mask up and try to limit contact as much as possible. Like someone else mentioned, my experience was similar - our 11 month old got it and it was like a head cold and lasted a day. Don't stress over it.

My wife had covid over Christmas/NYE. She masked up, but otherwise took care of our 18 months old more or less normally.

Neither kid nor I ended up getting it 🤷‍♂️

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

We were not trying to conceive. And I was drinking alcohol like twice a week.
Now I missed my period and pregnant. I am panicking a lot, not sure if I want a baby right now. Definitely i cant deal with pregnancy constantly knowing how much u drinking could have affected the fetus and if i could ever endure the consequences it would bring upon the baby
Help me understand if my baby will be fine or not.
