Why would your job tell you to get a chickenpox vaccination? First, talk to an actual Doctor Who knows you, your medical history, your age, how far along you actually are in your pregnancy, and provide specific dates as to when you had this booster. Also, it’s very common for pregnant women to get a mumps measles and rubella booster (mmr), And doctors recommend that at a specific time during your pregnancy. It may be comparable to the chickenpox vaccination as well. I can’t remember specifically when from my own experience. If the doctor sounded a little tentative, it’s probably because they’re thinking that it is weird for your job to tell you to get a chickenpox vaccination in the middle of the Covid pandemic. Don’t terminate the pregnancy, get information, formulate a plan, worked a plan, everything is gonna be OK. This is the first of many times you will worry about your baby. And the fact that you worry, shows you’re going to be a great mom

SM1 - your are right; TDAP is what I was thinking! Thanks for the accuracy check! This is why I work in consulting and not medicine.

OP - See? After this is over, the details of pregnancy become a blip and you move onto new parenting experiences. It gets easier, and more fun, after this. Have some herbal tea, make a plan, work the plan. You will be great!

pregnant becuase my job reminded me that I needed second shot tommorow . I called Teladoc tonight and the physician I spoke to sounded really worrried for me. I will call OBGYN in the am but should I be worried at all? Should I terminate the pregnancy ? I am so worried and freaking out .

You can’t get an MMR shot after you get pregnant and in fact you’re not supposed to get pregnant 4 months from the MMR booster. Not sure about varicella. Having said that, I got shingles in my pregnancy (varicella resurgence) but not in the first trimester. Talk to your doctor about the risks.

And, good luck 💜

Terminate the pregnancy because of a job??? 😐😐

No, presumably because she thinks she irreparably harmed the fetus with the shot she got when unknowingly pregnant.

Had a my 7 week ultrasound today, confirming I’m PREGNANT after my second medicated IUI!!!! So happy to have heard that heartbeat. There were some oddities on the ultrasound- wondering if any of you have experienced any/all of these and how it worked out (doc didn’t sound alarms, just said we’d keep an eye, but naturally I’m worried):
1. Grapefruit sized cyst on right ovary 2. Unknown object with no heartbeat (maybe a hematoma) in the gestational sac with my baby 3. An empty gestational sac

Our baby is due soon so we’ve made the decision that we will only have visits from vaccinated family members (not realizing it would be an issue) only to find out that my Dad will never be getting vaccinated, planned to lie about it AND asked other family members lie to us about his vaccination status too… when we found out and asked him about it, he started to FREAK out. Now I’m questioning if we’re being unreasonable… how have you guys been handling unvaccinated people meeting your newborns??

How do you manage going back into public accounting as a first time mom? Our first kid is due this summer and I’ve been having conversations with my husband on plans for going back to work post-maternity leave. He is not in accounting and works ~35 hr weeks while I’ve been at 50-70 hr weeks (and enjoy my work). He is worried about my ability to be there for mom duties and also fully commit to work so curious on how other working moms have managed this - especially type A personalities. Thanks!

What is your companies paid parental leave benefit/policy? Currently offer 12 weeks fully paid for any new parent and thinking about adding additional time.

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis. I went to my primary care dr who referred me to another dr who specialized in mental health. He asked me about 5 questions before telling me I should see a neuropsychologist for an official assessment. The referral he gave me is super pricey and apparently isn’t covered by insurance. Is that normal?

Got covid from the UK , double vaxxed , and symptoms are wildly atrocious. Everyday I have different issues. I went from no fever to 102.4 in a couple of minutes. Blood oxygen dropped dangerously low and bounced back in a few minutes. Chills , cold sweats. My newest one is that my legs are so achey and sore it feels like they were beaten with a bat , just nonstop pain and can’t sleep. Anyone else experience these? Pretty sure I’d be hospitalized at a minimum without the vax

Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
