Lol. Seriously though ignore him your doing everything right for your baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365638 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:43:10 +0000 Purpledaisy 1365638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol uhhh? Never heard that one before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365580 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:21:56 +0000 spaniellove 1365580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Yeah I know. It only took me what, 30-something years to learn not to send my WTF reply and just change the subject instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365548 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:09:12 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1365548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, he's trying to help at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365541 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:06:04 +0000 swedishfish 1365541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, that's a new one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365535 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:57:02 +0000 MrsH 1365535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Say what? That has go to be some of the weirdest advice I have heard lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365381 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:32:29 +0000 spaniellove 1365381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I know, I'm just picturing me breaking into a sweat and then starting another bleed. When can he just accept that I am managing my care in a way appropriate for my situation?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365380 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:32:28 +0000 SweetMamaM 1365380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL... I think I would have not been able to stop laughing at that point. There are many reasons to remain fit and active during pregnancy but fetal sweat is not one of them. What a moron! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365348 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:13:43 +0000 mlm2934 1365348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably have burst into tears at that bc that's my biggest regret that I don't get to be a running mama to be bc of my issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365342 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:10:52 +0000 wonderstruck 1365342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, that's awful - I'm sorry you can't even share those things with him! That would be annoying, although I find it difficult to get too worked up about it when someone's advice is that lacking in common sense.</p> <p>My mom and DH think anytime I feel bad it's because I drink too much Mountain Dew (never mind how much coffee my mom drinks, she conveniently ignores that.) When complaining about how tired I was early last summer they both asked if I thought Mountain Dew could be the cause. Um, no, I think breastfeeding a newborn who woke up every 2 or 3 hours was the cause! I could probably break a bone or get a concussion from some awful head injury and have them try to find a way to blame it on my eating habits (and actually, when I once told them I felt that way my mom DID find a way to link my hypothetical non-existent injury back to my eating habits...really?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365341 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:09:59 +0000 MamaMoose 1365341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tell him fetuses are incapable of sweating which is the exact reason pregnant women aren't supposed to get overheated!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365334 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:07:42 +0000 blackbird 1365334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol babies don't sweat do they?! Haha</p> <p>Although exercise does cause an increase in oxygen and brain growth, but I doubt your dad knows that for reals :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365327 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:02:40 +0000 mrsbookworm 1365327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh, unsolicited medical advice. So helpful :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-needs-to-sweat-too#post-1365325 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 18:59:53 +0000 spaniellove 1365325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've avoided telling my dad about my pregnancy woes since he has such unhelpful wannabe medical advice. For some reason the answer to everything involves nutrition and more exercise, which I find bizarre because he also harped on me about how I wouldn't be infertile if I weighed more. I haven't told him about my ongoing nausea or bleeding, and only briefly told him about the growth issues that came up at this week's anatomy scan. </p> <p>His answer? That I need to start exercising and really work up a sweat because "baby needs to sweat too" and it would help the baby grow. My mind boggles. </p>
