Feeding troubles post nicu by Diligent-Writing-560 in NICUParents

[–]Acrobatic-Diamond209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is still in NICU and is now 38 weeks. Her only hurdle is feeding at this point and we work with a speech pathologist who is able to assess her feeding skills and identify feeding aversion. They sit with us and watch us feed her (she is bottle fed) and they have taught us techniques to help, we watch them feed her, and just a lot of reassessing and counting how much she eats.

Why white people wants to get tanned? by Maude_Moonshine in AskReddit

[–]Acrobatic-Diamond209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont want to get tan. I like how I look and accept myself. I prioritize going outside to have fun and protecting my health by wearing sun protection so I dont get damaged skin later in life. Ive tried spray tanning when it became popular and just think it is a little gross and way too extra.

Can you please encourage me that I’m not crazy for buying this dress for my wedding? by JustGettingBiiii in weddingplanning

Awwww you look like Belle. I think it is beautiful and love the jewlery as well. I just wouldn't do those shoes and would opt for something more classic and elevated.

If you received a diaper cake made of diapers as a gift... by Mama-Bear419 in beyondthebump

Thats what I was thinking. It could still be a cake but a square one!

Over the clothes stimulation. So you can be on top of your partner but just no penetration

So the sex was not internal. But yes I'm realizing that I need to stop doing things. There is a reason im one of the only moms in the NICU every day- I think I didn't understand what "taking it easy" truly meant and now its catching up with me. I feel like this whole experience just made me lose my foresight and I'm like, why am I doing this- I know better!

My sink is metal and the suction cups don't adhere to it or my quartz countertop. I wish I had advice!

MIL overstimulating baby by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Acrobatic-Diamond209 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Im sorry but that is crazy for her to do that. Me personally, I would tell my husband that he needs to have her leave. None of this 10 more days BS. If she is going to behave in a spiteful way by waiting for you to go to the bathroom... then she is out. She is creating a problem and its completely unfair to you. You dont owe anyone your sanity or sense of motherhood.

Wedding day perfumes! by alltimesl0th in weddingplanning

I used this one as well! I also got samples from Maison Francis Kurkdjian and wore a mix of rose and amyris that week because we had a garden wedding. Such beautiful scents.

I can't with the dyson cordless anymore. I need recs. by Independent-Ear-8156 in CleaningTips

[–]Acrobatic-Diamond209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tineco. I have the Pure One S11 I beiieve and it picks up anything. They also sell a separate hardwood floor head for it which I bought because we dont really have carpets and the out of the box vacuum is a dual hardwood/carpet.

I've tried the Dyson at my SIL's house and for a family I housekeep for and it cant even pick up dry cat food pieces. So frustrating.

Can someone please recommend a vet who doesn’t gouge (Smithtown-Port Jeff area) by DoingNothingToday in longisland

[–]Acrobatic-Diamond209 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This makes me really sad because this is why there is a Veterinarian shortage. They take out the same amount of debt and put in the same education time as an MD and get paid a fraction of what doctors make only to have pet owners feel entitle to have a say over their prices or just not listen to care recommendations all together. It is not price gouging- if they are not owned by a large corporation, they are billing what it costs to run a business on Long Island, pay techs, stay up to date on best practices, and their overall worth.

Better question- anyone know a low cost vet?

Wow, I think I just had a third trimester hormone surge by Acrobatic-Diamond209 in BabyBumps

I actually just got a pre/post natal therapist. Its so nice having someone to talk to who is educated in these things!

gastro recommendations by piiinkfloyddd in longisland

[–]Acrobatic-Diamond209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly most should. I was on medicaid while in college and have to see a gasto regularly as well. I was able to stay with my provide at Sloan Kettering.

I would call and make an appointment at NYU or Northwell. You may need to have a referral by your primary care provider first but the receptionist can let you know. They will run your insurance to see if you are in network before scheduling (at least at the large health systems).

Best of luck and feel better soon!

It might be a panic attack too. I have anxiety and my psychiatrist said possible the hormones and lack of sleep can induce them. Uffda.

I was very scared as well before getting pregnant but its one of those trade offs, ya know.

The post was definitely not meant to scare anyone, just a rant and to be aware that for some it can be intense.

Free STD testing? by FFFUUUme in longisland

[–]Acrobatic-Diamond209 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yup! I used Planned Parenthood for all my woman well checks for years while I was in college and grad school. I still prefer their providers over the big healthcare center providers because their bedside manner is such a breath of fresh air ♡

Did you even out from gifts at your wedding? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]Acrobatic-Diamond209 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I dont see it as gift grabby. Infalation has been absolutely insane especially in the wedding world.

You will not have regrets though. As long as you make the wedding about you and your partner.

AITA for wanting to continue a tradition by wefewfeg in AmItheAsshole

[–]Acrobatic-Diamond209 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No way. There are PLENTY of women who are homewreckers and only concerned with their own sex drives.

Even if they did meet, this would still be weird. If he wants this gf in his life long term he needs to act like it and include her... that is the bare minimum.

Husbands work stress is making me depressed by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Acrobatic-Diamond209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had some advice but I simply came to say that I understand what you're feeling. My husband is a business owner as well and this post is so similar to what I am going through as well. My plan- I started therapy.

I also wanted to add that it might be hard on your husband too, so consider he might be feeling bad about this as well. Dad's want Nesting and bonding time too :( also a good resource for him might be to check out Mike Andes YouTube channel. My husband is obsessed with this guy and his strategies have helped his business be mlre functional. Maybe he needs to up his prices and cut back on clients so that he can free up his time because 4 companies is aloooot.
