Has anyone on here had shingles during pregnancy? I have it, urgent care dr didnt seem concerned with it affecting baby but just curious if anyone's had any complications
Thank you 😊 Its so crazy I literally had no idea I even had it. I left A message with obs nurse. They close at 12 today so I doubt I'll hear anything back today
@beakymcspence, is the only person I know that would know anything about it
Hopefully she'll have some more insight until I can call ob
Yeah there’s not much they do for shingles during pregnancy, you basically just let it run its course and try and treat the itching.
That being said most of the time there’s zero complications and it just goes away on its own. I’ve had a couple patients who got bacterial infections from scratching etc, but aside from that you should be good ❤️
@beakymcspence Awesome news! Thank you. Thats basically what the urgent care doc said but my OB looked a little freaked when she saw it. I honestly had no idea what it was. It's drying up now so hopefully it'll be gone soon. Now im worried my 1 year old and hubby are gonna get chicken pox since they've never had it. He touched it trying to doctor it for me 😪
I did. Nothing they can do about them because your pregnant just told me to buy some creams for itching. Ugh they burn do bad too
My daughter is now a happy & healthy 7 yr old.
@nana2611 thank you. Ive been so worried and stressed out after I found out bc my ob was closed. I had no idea I thought it was just some pregnancy related rash. Mine doesnt hurt really bad. Just slight burning and lots of itching. Im scared my 1 year old is gonna have chicken pox now 😑
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
You should call your OB and tell them ❤️. Shingles suck. I hope you feel better soon. My mom had chicken pox with me, it didn’t do anything really- I did have no enamel on one of my baby teeth which I heard can be from that, but it thankfully a back tooth and able to be capped when noticed.
Since your at the end of your pregnancy it’s a whole lot better than if you had it during your 1st trimester.
