    As for the Will Smith Chris Rock situation, what broke me was Jada's face when the joke was said. From genuinely appreciating the performance to registering that low blow. Not one to condone violence, but if someone I loved dearly had the result of a deeply personal struggle publicly shamed I would have been reactive too.

    @sandy5693 so glad you had a great scan! Thatโ€™s so long! Iโ€™m kind of bummed that I wasnโ€™t offered the NT scan this time because Iโ€™m old.ย 

    @jen_third22 oof, triplets. Thatโ€™s crazy. Thereโ€™s someone on the August (I think) BMB pregnant with spontaneous quads. I donโ€™t blame you for being in shock!! ย I donโ€™t think I got a chance to reply when you first posted about them but Iโ€™m excited to be on this journey with you!ย 

    @k@krthouse I hope you have gotten your results by now or you do soon! Iโ€™m glad you had a good appointment! Edit - just saw your post in the other thread. Thatโ€™s great! I had an anterior placenta with DD and I still felt kicks, just took longer to start feeling them, but I do feel like they were never as strong as some people talk about. However, DD was not extremely active in the womb either so it might have just been her.ย

  • @bows22 so glad you had a good appointment and got to hear the heartbeat!
    @sandy5693 I have debilitating dental anxiety, too, and normally need gas for a cleaning. Since gas isnโ€™t allowed during pregnancy they gave me headphones and Netflix and I just white-knuckled it. I assume that Novocaine and stuff are ok for pregnancy, right? Is that what they would give you?
    @jen_third22 Iโ€™m sorry about all the overtime! Thatโ€™s the last thing you need.ย 
    @krthouse saw your update on results elsewhere and am so happy they are good!
    @nerdymom22 Iโ€™ve decided Iโ€™m done with winter and have been refusing to wear coats in defiance. Meanwhile itโ€™s in the 30s. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ
  • @pangolindrome Not just an Amercian thing, but also not an everywhere thing. My MIL intended to take a week or two off to come help with DS when he was born until lockdowns ruined that plan. My SIL's parents went out to Germany where she was living for the month following her having twins. My own Mum is not great with babies and wanted to help hut didn't really help. She never would have thought to move in with us to help out. In some cultures it's assumed the birthing parent's family will come help out, in US and Canada it's very case by case but people often assume the grandparents are going to help.

    Thank you for the thorough response. Maybe itโ€™s a thing in some Swedish families too and Iโ€™m sure my parents will want to come visit for a week or two, but a couple of monthsโ€ฆ brrrh. Thatโ€™s not attractive to any of us.

  • @nerdymom22 fading symptoms has me anxious too, I canโ€™t wait to be able to feel the baby move to have more reassurance between appointments.ย 

    @pangolindrome maybe itโ€™s common in America because families get more spread out? So like any of my friends who have parents in driving distance didnโ€™t have their parents come to stay with them but if they were a flight away they did. It is nice to have help but I like my helpers to sleep somewhere else hahaย 

    @reirei09 I hope you can at least convince your mom to get a hotel so you can get a break when she visits! And maybe she would be helpful with the toddler? Or maybe not hahaย 

    @merostomata Iโ€™m glad you are looking into getting an appointment, I hope you are able to get one soon! I have been doing bad with exercising but I would be really frustrated if I physically couldnโ€™t so I hope you are able to soon!
