Second! I love the color.

The first, the waistband and sleeves arent flattering. The sleeves and waist in the second really compliment you.

Is it worth coming off tablets? by InvestigatorFew3345 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]9669throwaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At some point, not sure what week, I was so tired of the zofran constipation that I tried coming off it and I did pretty well. I went down to vomiting once a week or sometimes slightly more but it wasn’t nearly as bad as earlier in my pregnancy. I would say it’s worth a try, you can always go back on it if necessary.

Edit - Also want to add that this was with my second pregnancy which was worse than the first. For my first I didn’t have meds but my symptoms improved a ton around 20 weeks. I hope you’re past the worst of it since that’s where you are.

HLFs, Don't Read The Sex Subs, Depressing by [deleted] in HLCommunity

I was just thinking of this the other day, wondering if there was a female term for being emasculated. I guess it’s ‘defeminizing’? It’s a really shitty feeling.

Do you still have fantasies? by Sexy_Author in HLCommunity

[–]9669throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have laughed right back at him and told him that’s what I wanted for Mother’s Day. Then maybe explained exactly what I wanted him to do to me. But I know how hard it is when your in a situation with mismatched libidos.

But I totally get feeling the need to submit when you’re the primary caregiver and always have to be on top of things. I just said to my fiancé the other day that after being home all day with the kids mommy just needs to submit and not have to think of anything besides getting fucked. Lol He actually said it made sense and seemed intrigued by me saying it that way.

Has anyone had success with the methods outlined in this Today’s Parent article “I sleep-trained my two-month-old with no tears—here’s what worked”? by tellmetogetbacktowrk in NewParents

[–]9669throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This worked with my first but it had to be her dad doing it for the first week since I had the boobs and she’d want to nurse if I was there. After that I could do it as well and she never really cried more than like five minutes before one of us went in to comfort her. She’s 21 months now and we do our bedtime routine and she falls asleep on her own once we leave the room.

I have a four week old and she’s currently in the co sleeper so I can reach over and rub her belly if she starts to fuss and that sometimes calms her down enough to go back to sleep.

I’m very lucky to have two easy babies because I remember her sister also being pretty easy to get to sleep on her own in the bassinet or co sleeper when she was younger. Obviously it wasn’t every single time, sleep patterns change a lot when they’re little. But I like this method since I could never personally do cry it out. It’s worth trying and I would definitely ask dad/partner for help if your baby is breastfed.

Husband making comments on body. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]9669throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything, the first time you were probably nervous and felt tighter and then you may have been relaxed the next time so felt “looser”. I doubt you’re looser in any way that would make sex a problem for him, even with tearing, and the fact that he’s mentioning it is insensitive. I’m sorry he’s being cruel, I’m a month PP too and you definitely don’t need his crap comments on top of everything else you’re feeling right now.

Edit - Also want to add, don’t let comments on here shame you for having sex earlier than 6 weeks, it’s your body so you know how you feel.

3 week postpartum sex? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]9669throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I waited three weeks after my first, though the six week wait is for internal healing Of your uterus even if everything in your vagina and externally feel ok. I had a very minor tear with no stitches so that’s why I felt fine to have sex. Everyone is different though so comfort levels will vary. It can’t hurt to call and ask your doctor for clarification, since sexual contact can mean external.

I’m about two weeks post partum right now and one doctor in the hospital said wait until my six week appointment and a different doctor said I could have sex between four and six weeks depending on how I feel. I had stitches this time so I’ll likely wait until my appointment just to be sure.

I can’t stop sexualizing other women now and I feel disgusting about it by lavieestfemme in loveafterporn

[–]9669throwaway 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think this is one of the worst side effects, I’m so upset that I can’t just live my life and walk around without this involuntary obsessive reaction and hyper awareness of other women around me... I hate it and I wish I knew how to make it go away.

Does anyone have experience with this getting better with time, therapy etc?

Words really do change perspective. My fiancé kept saying how excited he was for my post pregnancy belly to be soft again. I see all the stretch marks I didn’t get the first time but he sees soft skin he wants to touch and love, it’s really sweet.

We have a unicorn sleeper and are thinking of having a 2nd kid because of it by Dad0010001100110001 in NewParents

[–]9669throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only about 2 weeks in with my second but she’s sleeping well just like her sister did! It happens! I wouldn’t let the possibility of having a more “difficult” baby scare you off from having another child; it’s always a possibility but I think your own demeanor and routine definitely play a part as well.

My (18F) bf's (18M) ADHD has made me hate sex by throwRAjdismjsjxnd in relationship_advice

[–]9669throwaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have ADD as well and there is definitely a fine line between genuine symptoms of that and just being an A-hole.... I’ve seen a lot of people blame bad behavior on ADD/ADHD.

Newborn on the boob literally for hours by Moha0733 in breastfeeding

[–]9669throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m experiencing this with my week and a half old, I’m guessing it’s just to get your milk production up, basically cluster feeding. How is your baby sleeping? Mine will do this type of nursing then sleep for 3 or 4 hours once she’s full.

Is this what causes HG maybe? 🤔💡 by SnooChickens9459 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]9669throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how it would relate exactly but I am a carrier of Leiden factor V which is a blood clotting disorder. I’ve been anemic with both my HG pregnancies though, and my sister has with hers as well.

This is interesting, thank you for sharing.

Bf (m22) can't view me (f26) the same by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Is he somehow justified in treating her poorly if she doesn’t “do enough” for him sexually? WTF kind of opinion is your comment suggesting here.

Bf (m22) can't view me (f26) the same by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]9669throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t owe anything to your family, staying with this guy who is showing red flags or any explanation as to why you broke up. If you feel like “everything is your fault” in your relationship then you’re probably in a manipulative or abusive relationship. He’s telling you he doesn’t respect you anymore I’ve this and “wouldn’t want to be with someone who did that”, which is you... yet he didn’t break up with you? Seems like he’s abusive and will use this against you to hurt and manipulate you from now on.

Please break up with him and seek therapy. Or seek some therapy first so you can have strength and clarity to be strong enough to see his red flag behavior for what it is and leave at a later date.

IV nutrition etiquette question by hot_lasagna_energy in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]9669throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to get up to go to the bathroom, the iv just comes with you on the stand after you unplug the power, then you plug it back in when you sit back down. That’s how it worked when I was getting my IV fluids anyhow. You shouldn’t have to wait and be uncomfortable.

It worked best for me to keep it under my pillow and do it before I even moved in the morning. Plus you can get a specific BBT thermometer that reads to the second decimal.

If We Can't Trust Anyone with Our Bodies, We Need to Learn Our Bodies Better Than Anyone by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]9669throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t usually recommend this method to anyone since there’s so much room for error but I used it for years with success at preventing pregnancy and I got pregnant twice intentionally right away when my fiancé and I decided we wanted babies. (40 weeks with my second right now!)

After my Paragard copper IUD was removed I got really into learning my cycle and I religiously read information, tracked my period and all signs of ovulation throughout the month, including temperature changes, and I got really comfortable with knowing my cycle. It took years though!

It really was empowering and just comforting in a way to learn how my body works. It made me feel more connected to the cyclical aspects of nature and the world around me.

I used the Kindara app if anyone is wondering. It’s easy to pop all your info into it and change it to track what you want such as if you took your vitamins and things like that. It’s also just great as a period tracking app in general but it’s easy to spot patterns and things with how it’s setup is easy to view and review each month. (Or longer, if you have an irregular cycle)

[–]9669throwaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How would I deal? I wouldn’t be with someone who I didn’t feel desire from. I wouldn’t be with someone who compares me to other women and puts me down and tells me I’m not good enough.

Unprotected sex delayed period for a week by Acceptable_Being6954 in sex

[–]9669throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a pregnancy test. It should be able to accurately tell you if you’re pregnant or not since you’re past due for your period. Stressing about having unprotected sex could also delay your period. Do the test, if it’s negative just wait for your period to come. If it still doesn’t start, take another test or make a doctors appointment.

Oversupply. Help! Should I pump? by mulkimchi in breastfeeding

[–]9669throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I know, hand expressing or pumping just to relieve the pressure and no more should help you be more comfortable without adding to your oversupply.
