These comments are exhausting. I am an ER doctor working front lines seeing covid patients (while pregnant) wearing the same N95 mask for 5 straight days in a row. I also have friends and colleagues who had to put IVF cycles on hold because of Covid. You can recognize the frustration and heartache of that without…
I think this is true and not true. There’ve been thousands of volunteer health care workers who traveled to New York to assist who weren’t deployed. The situation has been so disorganized that it isn’t clear to me whether a nurse anesthetist assisting on an IVF procedure would actually otherwise be assisting with…
A week or so ago I posted a comment about how my husband and I had been trying for 18 months and this spring was when I was going to start seeking out some reproductive specialists, but we’ve put that on hold given events of the day. That’s still true, we’re not rushing out to figure out why it’s been so many cycles,…
Thank you. That argument needs to die.
For the love of god, stop telling people to adopt. It not only betrays a complete lack of understanding of the ethical, emotional, bureaucratic, and financial costs of IVF vs. adoption, but it also demonizes a woman’s desire and choice to get pregnant. It is NOT okay to push the myth of adoption as the ultimate…
Can we maybe not use this article to tell people who are struggling to get pregnant that they should “just adopt?”
This has crossed my mind honestly. My husband’s coworker is in the hospital with Covid and he sat behind my husband. His last contact with him was 16 days ago and we “seem” to be in the clear. It’s been a nerve wracking 16 days tho as we have a 3 year old and no immediate family other than my parents if something were…
It seems like someone she knows. She could have had some type of relationship with the perpetrator as a friend or romantic partner. This gave him the access to her party, home, passports and why no one thought it odd she was leaving the party with him or traveling internationally with him.
It is infuriating that she has to beg people to believe her because she knows most people are operating from the default of disbelief on rape. The phrase “cry rape” itself comes with the picture of hysterical women built into its meaning.
I’m a clinic escort, and our group cancelled all escorting events for the time being. Of course the anti-choicers are still protesting the clinics, and bringing their children out with them.
I highly doubt in one weeks time during a pandemic, they will be able to provide enough nurses to guarantee round the clock care for every patient. Plus the hospitals own original policies state people should bring a companion for help with rooming in etc. There’s tons of articles out there about how bad it is that…
What an annoying scare tactic.
This isn’t true. Nurses also rely on the birthing companion. Mine helped the nurse turn me multiple times to be in the best position when I was unable to move due to the epidural. My husband also helped me lift my baby in and out of the bassinet and change her diaper after my c-section when I couldn’t sit up. He also…
Just to clarify - parents aren’t in the NICU for emotional reasons; they’re there for medical reasons. Babies require less oxygen, they grow better/faster, they learn to eat faster, they need less overall time in hospital, and they have better long-term outcomes when their parents are there doing skin to skin holding,…
That sounds... Not legal. Has your friend looked into this, because I’m really concerned that something could go wrong.
But what about women who want their doula there? Or their mom,sister, best friend etc? It’s not always the father. It’s about picking someone supportive.
