@lyd_vic@Romy_Holland@webdevMason It really does all come down to luck. My second didn't tolerate labor so we needed a c -section and the epi didn't work except to make my vision shake back and forth. Thankfully we figured that out before they started cutting and the spinal worked. 🤷 No guarantees in biology
@lyd_vic@Romy_Holland@webdevMason I had a very strong epidural with my first, lasting hours after the birth, and still got her out in 3 good pushes. The midwife was surprised by how quick she came. I thank years of dance training - if you tell me to use my body a certain way, that's what'll happen.
@ohhhaykayla@maiab And adults. My friend's mom had her first reaction to crabs in her 60s. Chugged expired children's Benadryl while she drove herself to the mercifully close hospital.
@DrPlantel I've had pretty good luck with doctors but I still had a gyn tell me I deserved pain during intercourse because I was a sexually active teenager. Totally altered my sex life for 15 years until I was properly diagnosed and treated for vaginismus.
@thedimitri sometimes it's just informational. I figured out how to orgasm during straight sex by asking my girl friends how they did it 🤷 men don't have that problem
@BrandyLJensen Oddly I have overheard a few conversations about surrogacy among wealthy potential parents and not one of these freaks perceived surrogates as full human beings
@Dok845 I got Epstein Barr (mono) when I was 16. 5 yrs later I started having pain. More and more fatigue over my 20s. I was diagnosed w lupus at 34, 18 yrs after the damage started. Now, at 40, I have longtime friends who don't know bc it's irrelevant and frankly boring
@Dok845 It's also easy to overestimate (1) your knowledge of other people's health (2) their own knowledge of their health (3) the linearity and immediacy between damage and symptomology.
