How are we handling arguments?

Specifically with the spouse/partner. I’m 10w2d. My emotions are on 11. We aren’t arguing non stop, not even everyday. But when he critiques me or calls me out, I get a visceral rage. I was not like this before. I was more like shut down, process, then discuss, solution. Now Im so angry I can’t have any productive conversation. Please help.

I failed my creative writing class so I joined the girl dinner universe instead

My teacher said I’m just repackaging TikToks in my stories. I call it embellishment 💅🏾

Quesadilla. Salsa. Sour cream

Where does husband go for genetic testing?

Hi, we’ve already reached out to his PCP as my OB suggested. I work at a world renowned hospital with primary care and a ton of specialties, and I feel like they are over complicating it. They are saying they may need to refer him to two different type of geneticists. Can’t the PCP just order the tests lol?

Devastated at MFM appt

I’m so sad. I’m on a few very necessary psych meds. My dr said I can’t breastfeed at all and the baby will be in the NICU after birth for withdrawal. I feel so sad. Like why can’t my brain be normal.

Edit: Thanks everyone! You all are so sweet and supportive. I’m going to get a second opinion from a perinatal psychiatrist. I’ve checked out all the resources you’ve provided. So there may be alternative solutions. And if not, it’s not terrible and I’m not a bad mom. The hormones right now definitely contributed to my sadness lol.

What’s your pregnancy spirit animal?

Mine is Chihuahua. I hate everyone but my husband and I’m willing to bite lol. And if he could carry me in a bag everywhere I’d demand it. 😂

Edit: I can’t change the title, but imagine it says “animal twin” instead.

Pregnant, now what? 😅

Any advice for taking care of your locs while pregnant? Products you avoided or added? Navigating rapid growth? Or postpartum shedding? I’m 7mos in my loc journey. Thanks! (Don’t mind the cat hair in 1st photo lol)

Should I do it at 36?

Hello! I’m an assistant to RN CMs (case management) and have been for a few years. I’ve been working on a SW degree. HOWEVER I have about the same time left as doing nursing school. All my RN CMs say that I should be a nurse. I’m SCARED. Haha at 36, do I have the bandwidth?? Also I want to go into case management but I’ll have to bedside for a few years. Anyone make the transition late?

ETA: Well I guess us millennials are turning to nursing! Let’s go yall!

I got hit on!

I just hit over 20lbs lost. I’ve always know I’m cute. But I haven’t been hit on in a long long time. I’m married and he always makes me feel beautiful no matter what, even if I don’t buy it. But I was at a gas station and a very cute clerk told me I was “mad attractive”. I ran home and told my husband lol.

We’ve been trying for about a year. Albeit at times inconsistently. However, it’s not happening yet. And like all of us I’ve gone through the cycle of emotions. However, lately at my work 2 different very pregnant women have been assigned to my department for light duty tasks. It was rough at first. However, one asked me to touch her belly while the baby was moving. As soon as I did, I got so emotional and felt so connected to that baby. And all I wanted was for it to be ok and trusted that they had a good mom. When she gave birth she sent me a photo. I can not stop looking at it. Not out of jealousy. But just a genuine awe of the little sweetie. It has changed my view on pregnant women in general. I’m grateful.

Haha this person was my brow lady (sculpts and dyes my eyebrows). This is not the first time she’s sent me shenanigans. Upside is, now I know about the summer pass.

My brow lady has turned out to be crazier by the second. Anyhow, this is the last text she sent me before I blocked her. This is a common scam in my community. Sometimes referred to as half off flights. These people are taking stolen credit card information to buy said flights and accommodations. When the guest shows up they are often arrested for using someone else’s information to buy. But of course sometimes it works, so it keeps going. I already knew of this before she sent this to me. My brows always looked so good 😭.

I’ve started Avsola infusions and I’m now using Nizoral shampoo on flares. I work at the best hospital in my state. So I get access to their drs. They have a specific HS clinic. After one round of infusions and washing with this shampoo, I made it through my period without debilitating flares. I’ll update next month but wow the relief. I’ve been going through this for 18 years and have done everything except deroofing/surgery. I’m stage 2 almost 3. My doctor also put me in a research study. Also a professional photographer takes pictures at every appointment to track progress as well.
