@davidspetri I can’t remember exactly but it was definitely well past 20 weeks. I want to say it was around 22 weeks. She also had an anterior placenta. I couldn’t feel it myself for several weeks after she started feeling him.

@justusinchristsettlesall I support blacking out “fun” subs but I think blacking out support communities is a bad call.

@aihi Take all of it. I got 12 weeks and took all of it plus another few days PTO. I would have taken more unpaid if I could afford the cost of insurance during that time. The cost of missing out on that time is far higher than the cost of some assholes viewing it negatively. If you’re at a...

@weemo Consenting to medical treatment for your child is very different from consenting to a cosmetic procedure.

@javier_is_life My wife’s scheduled C section recovery was so much easier than everyone we know who had a C section after laboring. Our baby was looking really big and the OB said we were looking at a 50% chance of C section even if we did try a vaginal birth, so we decided on scheduled. It was...
