I will be declining the Tdap (whooping cough) vaccine along with any others that may come up and I’m wondering how to say this politely at my next appointment? At my last appointment my OB doctor was away so it was someone filling in for her, and she said that I can get the vaccines at my next appointment. I just kinda went along with it and said ok on my way out because I know I won’t be seeing this doctor again anyways and my regular OB will be back. Has anyone else declined these vaccines? And how to deal with maybe any pressure to get them from the doctor? Not sure how she will react even though I know at the end of the day it’s my decision.

Thanks <3 I’m currently 27 weeks

Just got a rescue puppy - he’s 5 months old and a mixed breed of German Sheppard / Bernese (maybe). He’s pretty calm and chill in the house just kinda lays around but at night we put him in his crate. He is fine in there and then usually wakes up early around 6 or 7am unless he needs to pee in the middle of the night. But do you think he really needs to be in the crate at night? Could he just be in his bed instead?

So my fiance has 2 phones. It’s not a secret life on the second phone, it’s basically the same phone just without a SIM card that he uses for the extra storage space but it’s hooked up to the same iCloud so it gets all his messages / calls stuff like that. He often leaves it at home and takes the one with the SIM card out with him. Tonight he’s at a sports game and the other phone is here. I look and see that he’s added some girls number and then told her where him and his buddy are going after the game. And then also added some girl on instagram and told her the same thing. I know it’s not right to snoop through phones but I’ve had reasons in the past with him to look. The guy he is with is married with 3 kids and knows that we’re also engaged so for him to be doing that with this guy is wack. My fiance though I will say is very social, even when I’m around. He often doesn’t think his social behavior is a problem because a lot of the time it isn’t, it’s things like this though that push my boundaries completely. He was pouring his heart out to me the other day so for him to turn around and do this now is really pissing me off. He won’t be home until later and I’m trying to think of the right way to confront it. I know everyone will just say leave 😂 but I’d actually appreciate how to deal with this situation and how to actually have proper boundaries that show I won’t tolerate this. This sports game was a big playoff game so the city is on party vibes and the bar he’s going to will be packed with the fans so he will play it off that he’s just being social or whatever. But if I were to do this with random guys, he’d be pissed for sure. Now I have to sit at home for the next 5 hours so annoyed lol.

My partner and I just went through the process of adopting a puppy through petfinder/pawistively furever organization. We submitted our application, gone back and forth a few times, they called our references, did the virtual house tour and we got to meet the dog in person last week too. Now we signed the contract and paid the fee just waiting for them to confirm and schedule when we can pick the dog up. How long do you think we can expect to wait to pick him up? We just signed and paid yesterday and hoping to be able to pick him up asap.

Im 26weeks and have a small bump but it’s not super round I think I have a bit of a b belly to begin with before pregnancy but Ive generally been pretty small or lean or whatever you want to call it like pre pregnancy weight was around 140lbs and I’m 5’6. But lately when people see me they say omg I was HUGE when I was pregnant you’re so small just a small bump, or they didn’t even realize I’m pregnant depending on what clothes I’m wearing until I mention it. In my head I’m always like well did you think I just gained a bit of weight or I’m just a bit chubby lol? To me I definitely look different than before, maybe not a big round bump but I’m bigger and my stomach is bigger. I know everyone is different and this is my first pregnancy. But is this something anyone else has experienced? And when did you find that you started looking very pregnant? I’m not really complaining it’s more just a funny observation
