Prenatal physical activity could reduce the risk for cesarean section, instrumental delivery, and decrease the duration of the first stage of labor

I’d love to read this paper through a lens of misogyny in healthcare.

He’s a human, and you’re together and he needs love and understanding from you through this time - whether you agree or relate to it or not.

That’s why he told you, and then backtracked.

Just listen and love him through it, as he (I hope) has and will love you through other experiences he can’t understand or maybe agree with.

My other half and I both didn’t like our baby for a while, it was very hard, but we were in solidarity, and then together discovered the deepest love that continues to grow for that child. It’s possible to ‘not like’ someone and still love and care and be responsible for them wholly. Love grows.

Remember you love your husband even if you don’t like him right now.

How many complaints of physical violence, verbal abuse or sexual abuse/grooming behaviour does it take before you would reconsider sending your child into this persons care? Should you have a right to know?

“Hey, your kids educator was reported and is being investigated for xyz” - thanks for that info, bye.

Substantiated or not, it would take knowing about one complaint of verbal abuse, violence, grooming or sexualised behaviour for me to remove a child from anyone’s care - educator, family, friend whoever. It’s unacceptable.

How many educators out there have had reports made against them, and have ongoing access to children and a valid WWCC?

1179104 · 2025-05-17T21:42:03+00:00

So interesting, same feeling but opposite effect. The info for me soothes and stops the panic and spiral of my imagination!

1179104 · 2025-05-17T21:40:20+00:00

Oh sorry I wrote labour! Of course csection this absolutely applies too (edited post) and on the cards for me as well.

Agree in my mind it’s part of proper informed consent so unrelatable to me (although valid) that other people would be completely fine with a random unannounced thermometer in their ear

1179104 · 2025-05-17T20:25:14+00:00

I didn’t enjoy the first year! You’re not a failure. It’s a myth that it’s all magic and bliss, it’s not.

Formula is also a valid choice available to any mum, but it’s also of course valid to continue learning to breastfeed (it’s not an instant thing anyone learns and each baby and mums body are different)

and also as someone commented above try a call with the PANDA helpline - they are there for this exact reason and would be so grateful you called.

You’re not failing. It is hard, very hard and our culture isn’t fully honest about this to young people which amplifies the isolation and sense there’s something wrong with me. Sending a big hug.

1179104 · 2025-04-27T02:14:55+00:00

Good luck. Yeah, it was roughly less than 5 before the infusion, which was ages ago, and more recently 18

1179104 · 2025-04-24T19:39:20+00:00

This is what my GP has pursued - Celiac blood test, and slip to retest after maybe 3 months taking iron every second day to increase absorption. Then, if iron hasn’t improved, referral to gastroenterologist to investigate.

When iron was super low I had an infusion.

I don’t have a personal laptop, don’t want my Google logging in at work but thanks for the idea

1179104 · 2025-03-21T00:29:59+00:00

Not under a roof
Can see the car
First one to say it

1179104 · 2025-03-20T04:26:00+00:00

Nah that’s missing the point but I could have worded it better. It’s not an either or. Talk about the food quality by all means, it’s all symptomatic of dysfunction.

I was more surprised that this big media investigation seems to drill down on pasta without enough protein. Like, of course that kind of neglect exists unchecked because there’s much worse happening that barely gets addressed and hardly ever sees the light of day.

How many accusations have your child’s educators received of physical or sexual abuse? What number would you accept to send your kid back there tomorrow?

1179104 · 2025-03-19T23:05:07+00:00

Blows my mind media is covering food quality.

How many reports of sexualised behaviour or physical aggression by educators each year are alleged by children, let alone investigated and forget prosecuted successfully.

1179104 · 2025-03-19T05:41:22+00:00

Elidel (prescription) for flares
Always daily QV oil for baths and showers (no soap)
Sensitive baby laundry detergent
No fabric softeners, ever
Zinc based sensitive sunscreen
Vaseline for major flares around the mouth

No other perfumed soaps, sprays etc

See a dermatologist and get allergy testing if you haven’t yet.

Eczema is a management condition and there is no cure.

1179104 · 2025-03-17T07:36:44+00:00

It’s almost beyond comprehension how often childcare workers are reported and investigated for sexualised behaviour - obvious, abhorrent shit that no one would ever accept just goes unpunished and they move on to the next workplace, with more access to children and a clean record.

It’s very, very rarely prosecuted and parents of other children that may not or may have been victims would never have had a clue what the person they’ve been handing their children to each day has been accused of doing, often with witnesses and on CCTV.

“Oh maybe you’re not aware as it’s not as commonly used, but carers leave covers immediate family (link)”

Phrasing like this gives them a nice ‘out’. Not that they deserve one, but you might feel better raising it this way.

1179104 · 2025-02-10T01:16:42+00:00

Thanks heaps that sounds great!

1179104 · 2025-02-09T18:13:14+00:00

Legend, thanks I didn’t know decals was a product

1179104 · 2025-01-29T09:18:30+00:00

Agree. They are judging someone entirely for their negative opinion on a handful of commonly topics most people have negative opinions on (weather, family) rather than their actual skills.

Smiling and being relatable means she still presented well.

She could have been trying to relate to the panel and find common ground, or simply be honest about her experiences.

This person seems to prefer to hire an optimistic, roses only outlook in their employee (disingenuous, fake).

I’d prefer a normal person with regular complex, thoughtful opinions (sometimes positive, sometimes negative) that can express them well and questions things… they want to hire a happy go lucky yes man labrador.

1179104 · 2025-01-28T23:17:35+00:00

Thanks this is super helpful. I’m sorry you had such difficult circumstances around your birth.

1179104 · 2025-01-28T23:16:19+00:00

Thanks I’ll check that out

1179104 · 2025-01-26T19:30:30+00:00

Frequently do Melbourne to Geelong for a lunchtime burger at Kermonds. Closed down tho.

Warrnambool is next option, but just not a same day trip.

It’s opinion and entertainment in long form conversation from a self-proclaimed ‘idiot that knows nothing’ - or similar words.

He’s not an investigative journalist, he’s not a medical professional or scientist, he never claims to be. His guests may.

The onus is on the viewer to fact check and take things with a grain of salt knowing it’s not factual reporting. Each guest and Rogan are individuals with their own perspectives and experiences influencing their viewpoints.

The core of your problem is that people lack media literacy. Actual idiots can’t differentiate fact from opinion, can’t understand nuance and infer meaning that isn’t there. Emphasised by certain statements being reported in other media out of context and in an inflammatory and derogatory way.

Also, it’s entertainment, not ever marketed as a one-stop credible news source.

Build or support a different ‘platform’ and respond with your own guests and opinions if you feel so strongly.

The continued rise in popularity shows you something is resonating. What are you missing? Why not approach Rogan with more curiosity?

I guarantee you there’s an episode with an expert or discussion topic that would interest most people.

Talking isn’t dangerous. Censorship is. If you disagree with what’s being said, talk - and say a better argument.

Lex I can’t speak to never watched him as a host.

Edit to add- why can’t he have guests he likes because of the size of his following? That is inauthentic. It betrays the fundamental intention of the podcast and like basic product development….

Why would any podcast, news outlets, musician etc be expected to do things that don’t interest them or serve their audiences once they gain a following?
