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.

dude, I understand your anxiety, but if you look up ANY kind of food it will give you some bullshit reason why pregnant women cant have it. They recommended to women a bullshit high carb diet that induces gestatiinal diabetes, putting your baby in real danger, and setting them up for health problems. Keep your low carb low sugar diet through pregnancy and the baby will thrive. Ignore doctors who have exactly zero knowledge of nutrition, and generally recommended the high carb low fat Standard American Diet.

Good advice! The lack of "forced" and unnecessary gestational diabetes tests woman are being subjected to is a silver lining of COVID restrictions. Those same Drs will be telling you to feed your kid rice cereal in no time!
