Perhaps I’m just more risk-averse than a lot of other people, but I’m still perplexed that people were still getting on flights in mid-March, after it had already been declared a pandemic. Borders were being closed, flights were being cancelled.
During this pandemic, especially in New York, everything is a zero sum game. If an anesthesiologist helps you in any way during an IVF or fertility related procedure, that was expertise, time, medical supplies, and pain relief meds that will not be used to help someone who is recovering or dying from Covid 19 do so…
The reason people are adding extras is because pure alcohol will dry out your skin so much it’ll crack, and that’s actually a health risk. If you’re using pure alcohol, make sure you have hand cream too.
I’m so sorry. I’ve always wanted kids (still do), and one thing that worries me is that my partner will change his mind about it. I hope that you are able to try again, and that you have a happy, healthy pregnancy when this is over.
I work in a hospital that plays a lullaby over the loudspeaker when a baby is born, and I don’t know about nine months from now, but people were getting it on around June of last year. I’ve never heard so many lullaby chimes before, five in one morning at the end of March.
I’m pregnant, it happened before the pandemic and honestly, I’m absolutely terrified. If I’d known this was going to happen, I would’ve waited. I’m here hormonal and freaking out instead of enjoying what should be a happy and exciting time in my life. No, a Corona baby should NOT be a thing.
Everyone knows that when they start adding children and animals the series is on its last leg.
In my city black people (my fucking people) account for 70% of all COVID-19 deaths. Is this on my mind right now? Yes. Am I allowed to take a break from the constant bombardment of articles about the statistical probability of my impending death by reading and enjoying content that sympathetically addresses my daily…
I’ll be thinking of you, keep us updated! Even if it’s “just” a weird bleed - that’s a lot of fear and uncertainty to carry through a pregnancy, and a lot to live with day-to-day on top of everything else. And if it is a loss, I’m so sorry. Miscarriage is hard, you feel helpless and sometimes the medical profession…
You could have just stayed off this article and obsessively refreshed whatever news website you use, instead of deciding to be such a pathetic scold about an interesting and informative article. Go work on your sourdough starter and yell at your family.
I’m so sorry, what a terrible situation. What an absolutely unfairly awful thing to happen on top of all of the awful things we’ve had heaped on our heads lately.
My anxiety is spiking. And when my anxiety spikes, my chest hurts. And makes me think I have the ‘Rona.
who’s had a solid pandemic-related meltdown recently!? wanna have a meltdown thread or share handy tips and tricks for waking up tomorrow and gritting our teeth through 1-3 more months of this?
last week I shared about my friends father being very ill with Covid-19. I’m sorry to say he has since died of the illness. Many other friends have loved ones who are ill at this time as well. Meanwhile, except for phone calls(and staying inside), I am powerless to help in any way. I’m sad, and angry and lonely.…
My sisters and I would pretend to be mermaids eating fish guts whenever we ate pepperoni pizza.
THIS! I’m pregnant in NYC and completely freaking out. This is a really scary time to be pregnant. Please wait if you can, people!
Yeah, that was the point they we're totally missing. You're free to fuck and they may lead to a baby with some luck and right parts, but you're not free to risk the lives of others to get you pregnant. It's beyond disingenuous to pretend to not understand the difference.
No.
Yeah, I can’t really get up the energy to be outraged about this when Planned Parenthood is being decimated and access to birth control and abortion are being absolutely fucking NUKED. Yeah, it sucks, and yeah, we’re all in this together, but your desire to have a baby does not trump somebody’s need for an abortion.…
