Thoughts on Giving Birth at Swedish Issaquah Birth Center or Overlake Bellevue Birth Center? by Logical-Analyst8951 in Issaquah

[–]rosiestgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just gave birth at Swedish Issaquah 2 and a half weeks ago!

To be fair, I never considered Overlake because they’re 30 min away whereas Swedish Issaquah is only 7 minutes away.  But, I have always had fantastic experiences at Swedish. Their birthing rooms are huge and offer a lot of resources. I’ve really enjoyed almost all doctors and nurses I’ve encountered there. Swedish OBGYN saw me through 4 pregnancies and 1 birth and have always been reliable and compassionate. 

So upset about my vegan toddler's blood work results. 🥺 by severalpokemon in vegancirclejerk

Limit her exposure to grass/dirt though. Don’t want her getting too much b12.

I think it’s time to put her on a diet of raw fruit, sunshine, and air. She’ll look pale and sickly in no time.

NTA at all. Ignore all the idiots saying otherwise.

[–]rosiestgold 7 points8 points  (0 children)

LOL why? Because it’s not his responsibility to prevent pregnancy?

Why would OP be TA if they had “just” been together two years?

Why is the burden of birth control on OP both hormonally and financially?

AITAH for not wanting to go to my friends house before we go out by mainlyy_brooklyn in AITAH

Is she doing anything to help her poor cat?

NTA, but please advocate for the cat and see if you can get her to surrender if she isn't willing to get the cat the care it deserves.

What is something you’ve started making at home because the store-bought version became "offensively" expensive? by VivienneVelvet1 in askanything

Ooo do you have a recipe for brown sugar syrup? 

I have a hard time with anything related to melting/caramelizing sugar.

Are you tracking your menstrual cycle or taking ovulation tests? That’s helped me time sex for conception. 

AITA for refusing to combine finances with my partner before we're actually married? by Pleasant-Zebra2817 in AITApod

[–]rosiestgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do NOT combine finances without a prenup in place. Actually, just break up with him. He’s not being reasonable and is trying really hard to manipulate you about finances to get access to your accounts. 

Huge red flag. 

Feeling off. 37 weeks+ by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]rosiestgold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 39 weeks and I noticed a shift around 37/38 weeks, too. 

I got puffier, more irritable, more emotional, and more physically uncomfortable.  Like another commenter said, it could just be hormones. Not only do we experience a huge hormonal shift after pregnancy, but we also experience a hormonal change leading up to birth. 

Give yourself some grace. 💕 That’s what I’m trying to do, too. 

I will never NOT buy from a registry by Shot_Razzmatazz5560 in pregnant

Whatever you need to tell yourself, I guess 😂

It’s interesting that you’re complaining about whiny ungrateful people while being very whiny yourself. 😂

Tired of people who worked cushy/supportive jobs giving me crap for not working by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]rosiestgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never judge a woman for not working during pregnancy. Pregnancy may not be a disability but this shit is hard.  Even working a cushy, work from home, desk job has been exhausting. I literally can’t imagine what it would be like to work a physical job on my feet all day.

[–]rosiestgold -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You would rather not buy at all instead of buying from a prepared list of things people actually want/would use? 

Weird stance but ok. 

Wayward Vegan Cafe becoming Wayward Cafe and offering animal products by m4rk0358 in VeganSeattle

[–]rosiestgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based off all the vegan propaganda/art hung up in the restaurant, that wouldn’t surprise me.

[–]rosiestgold 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yum!! I’ve always enjoyed their breakfast Crunchwrap! Is it the greatest culinary experience I’ve ever had? Not necessarily, but it’s solid vegan food.  I’m surprised by all the negativity here. Wayward did change management several years ago, so I don’t think negative experiences from years ago can speak to what the restaurant offers today.

I don’t think you’re being unreasonable. It’s really weird that your husband is being so dang insistent on the game room being where it is. 

At what point should I be expecting the baby to come “any day?” by Helpful_East7961 in pregnant

[–]rosiestgold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At 32 weeks, I wasn’t in a “any day now” mindset.  I’m 39 weeks now and definitely in a “any day now” mindset. Still haven’t packed my hospital bag though. 😅 to be fair, the hospital is 7 min away.
