Anyone living with a smoker [second hand smoke] [cold turkey]

My friend and I are both students who live in an apartment with a smoker. Our roommate smokes marijuana and cigarettes per day and we can not afford to move. The only time Im not smoke, I was at my parents house, three hours drive. I used to smoke myself, except I stopped cold-turkey when I found out I was pregnant.

Flying during pregnancy [last chance] [grandparents]

How long can I fly? My grandparents are not good and my father feels like we are on our last chance to say goodbye. We know it was coming at some point, at least for my grandma, but they are both at the point where they are confronted with serious “quality of life” decisions and not the will to houden press. I will be 25 weeks pregnant when my father is flying (home 1 1 / 2 hours flying) in January. Im pretty sure that is still safe to fly, but I wonder what the cutoff point. I want to fly some

Very frequent urination .? [third trimester]

I actually get quite angery, sometimes literally, because Im really sick and tired and pee! : Bouncing:
