I have a 6 hour flight to the east coast for a bachelorette party and I wasn’t worried until today I saw the CDC updated their guidelines and they now say that you are at risk just by being within 6 feet of somebody with the virus for more than 15 minutes. Several people in the states have also tested positive for the virus now and one person who is positive is asymptomatic. I am currently pregnant and in Southern California where multiple people have returned to from the ship so I am concerned. Am I being silly? Apparently I can’t attach a photo but on the official CDC website there is a new document released with these guidelines. Only days ago they were saying it could only be spread through very prolonged close contact which seems to now be thrown out the window.

I have great willpower and quit bad habits all the time by removing them from my environment. I want to limit my social media use and screen time overall, but I genuinely have tried everything possible and can’t because the apps are made to be so addicting. I am wasting my life on my phone and hate every second of it. I would absolutely get a flip phone and I know this would work, but I run two businesses and get my clients solely from social media. I have never acquired a client that wasn’t directly from social media, so to say my businesses can’t function without it is an understatement. At this point my addiction is so bad I genuinely dream of a having a regular job not reliant on social media but I didn’t go to college because I do so well on social media. I’ve tried having different devices like a work phone/computer/tablet and a personal phone with nothing on it but due to my schedule I make most of my viral videos on the go with necessary in app features on tiktok and instagram like comment replies and green screen videos. This is the same reason why I can’t hire someone to post for me, the authentic nature of my content is why I do so well on the platforms. I’ve tried using apps that help limit screen time or the iphone limit features but they end up getting so frustrating when I’m working I just turn them off. I decided to have my partner create my screen time password so I couldn’t get around it, but I needed him to put it in so often for genuine work related tasks and he’s busy so that it was unrealistic. I keep setting rules for myself and even though it is technically possible to post and reply to comments and only scroll for video/trend ideas for a set small amount of time each day, actually succeeding at that is downright impossible. I quit nicotine cold turkey years ago and it would be like carrying a vape in my hand at all times and expecting myself to not use it, or even worse, expect myself to use it only a little bit to keep myself just addicted enough that I fail everyday. This is more of a rant about how addicting these apps are, but if you do have any advice I’m not thinking of I’d love to hear it since I’m desperate to get out of this situation. I don’t even enjoy my time on social media and yet I can’t stop scrolling so I know I’m wasting my life doing something I don’t wanna be doing. At the same time, I have to be grateful because it’s these apps that have made me successful and given me a career and I love what I do but am questioning if in the grand scheme of things it’s really worth the 9 to 5 freedom or financial freedom since the apps are this addicting and I’m wasting my life looking at my phone

I love Dakota with the nickname Coco, but my partner doesn’t like Dakota, only Coco. I like that Dakota seems like an unlikely full name for Coco but makes sense because it has the ko in there. I do not want a Colette, Cosetta, Colleen or any names that start with Co where the nickname coco is obvious. Baby is a girl but we like gender neutral names as long as they aren’t too masculine. I already have a middle name I’m set on as well so we don’t want to do the co in the middle name. We’ve thought about just doing coco, but as someone who had a cute nickname growing up I liked that I had the opportunity to start going by my more serious full name eventually. Any ideas? Others we like but aren’t sold on are Monaco, Nicolette, Nicole, Kanoa, and Koa.

Finally got prescribed Zofran and it made me feel absolutely horrible. I don’t think I have HG necessarily, I only throw up a couple times a day and haven’t lost weight but was very thin to begin with. I am 13 weeks now and have been throwing up daily since week 5. I took Zofran today for the first time and it made me even more nauseous and feel extremely restless, agitated, and tired at the same time. I almost went to the ER because I thought I was having an allergic reaction. Besides the weird reaction I also just feel extremely tired, way more tired than unisom makes me and even worse nausea but can’t throw up to relieve it. But I’m so confused because all I’ve heard are great things about Zofran. Has this ever happened to anyone?
