people like to put overly cautious restrictions on women at a time when they are emotionally vulnerable

Yep yep yep

I wouldn't drink coffee or any alcohol at all for that matter. American doctors can tell you that a small amount is fine. But in many parts of Europe, there is zero tolerance.

I think it's actually the opposite? European Doctors are more likely to say wine and caffeine are okay (culturally). US doctors are more zero tolerance.

I'm pretty sure the survey I just took was to just ask/get answers for a single question.
Normal question
Normal question
Normal question
Strangely specific and relevant question
Normal question
Normal question

Actually the ones that get me are the ones that ask an AWFULLY specific question that makes it seem like they have your personal history and are just double-checking.

Like (not a real example) "have you ever been run over my a fishing boat?"

WTF dude was that researcher the one on the beach laughing?

And beer (Last trimester Guinness is still used in Ireland for the vitamins and relaxation. Small amounts, but the US is crazy-ass critical of it. )

My auntie had a martini after each birth (13 9!) with her doctor in the ER. Half of her kids are laywers/doctors, the rest of them are other rich folk things.

She also smoked.

My mom was a saint when pregnant with me and look how I turned out I'm kidding I'm obviously awesome

I'm technically European and has lived in Sweden for several years. I don't know how many times I've heard people say "but in Europe it's common to drink wine while pregnant" which isn't true :/

I didn't drink wine while pregnant, and I'm not pregnant now so I'm not going to debate too much. From MY personal experience carrying a child in the US(YMMV), the doctors I saw were not tolerant of most things like alcohol.

Don't tease me. You and I both know I'm not getting $30 from this.

Just got an email from Alexandria regarding the block I got:

Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear you were blocked unexpectedly.

For context - that qualification was added by an automated metric I've been experimenting with.

If you send me your WorkerId, I can remove it and we can look into why it was added.
