It's so retarded. You can walk into a restaurant of 50+ people dining with no masks on but you can't go to an ultrasound appointment. I'm so sorry they're doing this to you. I just had our second three months ago, my husband wasn't allowed at any of the appointments either. But he was allowed at the birth, thank God.

Congratulations on the healthy baby. I'm fucking worried for my wife. I'm going to be right outside the hospital waiting on video call. We had a late miscarriage last year that required a DnC when we went for the 2nd check up there was no heart beat. I'm fucking terrified of that happeneing and me not being right there with my wife.

Is she a vegetarian or vegan?

No....?

Okay. Figured I would ask. You'd be shocked (or maybe not) at the number miscarriages in vegan and vegetarian women.

Idk why women would think that's OK. Me and my wife typically follow a low carb low sugar diet, but during pregnancy we make sure to keep it more balanced. That went for the last one as well. We don't know what caused the miscarriage last time. We both quit smoking/drinking as soon as we learned of the last pregnancy and never picked it back up. I'm being crazy careful this time though. I won't let her eat anything without me looking up if it's safe first lol. Made her pour out her ginger water because I looked it up and ginger is bad for pregnant women.

So, as I said earlier, I’m sorry for your loss, and this time it will go great. But I just wanted to point out the health of pregnancy, and ultimately the baby, is determined long before pregnancy. Many people quit bad habits when they get pregnant. While that’s very good for the course of pregnancy, the most important things are already decided by the time the woman gets pregnant. Adopting good healthy lifestyle at the onset of pregnancy might be too late in certain cases. So what one needs to do is ideally live a healthy lifestyle long before pregnancy, but that’s nigh impossible. So the best thing to do is start living healthily six months before pregnancy. Both father and mother need to stop smoking and limit drinking, and eat nutrient dense food good for egg and sperm health. This is actually observed in ancestral history as well as some current tribal peoples. Anyway, you will get a healthy baby this time around, the odds are in your favour, as are our prayers.
