I'm looking for recommendations for a general practitioner in the NYC West area.
I am also looking for a gynecologist or an ICU specialist.

If possible, I'd prefer someone with significant experience.

Roger Rodriguez said:Those patches completely wrecked my hormones; I gained 30 pounds in just six months, and I dealt with constant allergic reactions at the application site, even though I switched spots every single week.🤷Even now, years later, I still have scars on my arms (where I gripped them most tightly because they kept peeling off my stomach) from those rashes that were so itchy I ended up scratching myself bloody.🙂
On the flip side, a close friend of mine has used them for five years straight without a single issue.🤷

By the way, those synthetic scents always made me feel nauseous too, especially that cloud of cologne my boyfriend sprays around the apartment in the morning; I’m honestly surprised I haven't thrown all his fragrances out the window yet.

Right now, I am beyond frustrated because I actually had an accident in my pants right in the middle of the street. It was pouring rain, so maybe people thought I just sat in a puddle, but it wasn't pretty—I spent fifteen minutes hobbling along trying to find a restroom, only to end up losing it like I'd swallowed a gallon of water just five minutes before reaching my apartment.☕
And for three days, I've been worrying about this stomach ache, terrified that I'd start dealing with massive bloating today. Well, here we are; I feel like if I lit a match, I might blow up the entire apartment building. It feels like I've spent the last week eating nothing but heavy greasy fast food, and now it's all making its exit. I have never experienced anything quite this intense. I woke up in the middle of the night to such a stench that I nearly hallucinated; I genuinely thought I was stuck in a barn next to fifteen horses and cows. This is going to be the death of me!🙂

Roger Rodriguez, you're a legend. 😂😂😂
I deal with bloating, but nothing actually comes out. 😢
That's even worse; those pains are unbearable.

we are living in the 21st century... with every single advanced form of birth control available to us, I honestly can't wrap my head around how you let something happen that you didn't even want, and then you're telling me you have to *force* yourself to love your own child...
I really wish I could unread that...

I think you completely misunderstood Scott Rodriguez2's post.
In my view, there is such a thing as building love over time. For example, you might not feel an instant spark with your husband the moment you meet him; instead, that affection grows steadily.
It’s the same with a baby. That's why we carry them for nine months—to prepare ourselves and build that connection. But the deepest bond often happens during birth and in the days immediately following.

Honestly, what’s the point of pretending everything is fine when you're actually struggling? I prefer to be upfront about how I'm feeling, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
How far along are you, Keith Allen4?

Andrew Hill8, that fear is definitely something both you and I share. 😢

Regarding fears—how am I supposed to stay relaxed and fearless when anything could happen at any given moment?
It’s exactly what Jesse Johnson15 said; is it just pure ignorance?

Even in real life, you see those pregnant women walking around with huge grins on their faces.
Either they are genuinely happy, or they're just putting on a good show for everyone else. 🤷

Scott Rodriguez2, I am absolutely losing it over your last two posts. 😂
I feel the exact same way—everyone gets under my skin lately. I find myself snapping at everyone, and if I don't get some empathy, I just break down. It honestly takes only a second for me to end up in tears.
Even when I see anything involving babies, I turn into a total softie.
I’m definitely not that glowing pregnant woman you see in commercials, full of smiles and good vibes.
People can think whatever they want about me—"look at this grumpy pregnant woman."
The bump isn't even showing yet, but honestly, they better stay back once it does. This belly belongs to me (and maybe my husband), and nobody else is getting any cuddles from me.
The baby and I will have our own little world and talk to each other when we're alone in bed.

And I am so done with unsolicited advice from people I didn't even ask. Just... leave me alone.

What’s the copay for Cipralex?

Alright, thanks 🙂

Will the outpatient clinics be operating under normal hours tomorrow?

I am kindly seeking recommendations for a good, gentle dentist who accepts Medicare patients in the greater Washington, D.C. area. This is becoming quite urgent. Thank you.
