Rihanna may make it all look easy – but for many women, pregnancy presents a myriad of extremely stressful situations, writes Amy Dickinson.
Every time she takes a break, she goes out back and smokes cigarettes.I’m a mind-your-own-business kind of person, but I have witnessed a family member suffer from asthma.I know that my co-worker goes to the doctor for prenatal care and stuff, but every time she takes a break, my heart sinks and I feel guilty.Dear Worried: Your co-worker is likely under a lot of stress. She is working at a relatively low-wage, physically demanding job while pregnant.
It is common knowledge that smoking is bad for one’s health and that smoking while pregnant could negatively affect the unborn baby’s health. If your co-worker is seeing her doctor regularly for prenatal visits, then this will have been emphasized many times.Marijuana affects the mother’s cognition, coordination, and reaction time.“No amount of marijuana has been proven safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
I think you could have the greatest influence on your co-worker by getting to know her and by trying to discourage her from ingesting pot. Be non-judgmental and compassionate toward her. She may tell you that she is using pot to treat nausea or to boost her appetite. Ask her, “Have you asked your doctor about that?”Dear Amy: My older brother and I have always had a difficult relationship. One day before our 52nd wedding anniversary, my wife died.
If this continues to eat away at you, you could get your brother’s contact information from your sister and reach out to him.You are disappointed that he has kept his silence of so many years, especially through this tough period. Do you want to try to forge a path toward communication now? If so, then you should say so, plainly – expressing your thoughts and feelings in writing.
