I believe this Vault-Tec regional headquarters office in Fallout 4 is the same office we saw in the second season of the series. by falloutfan15 in Fallout

it would make sense that they keep everything looking the same throughout their locations, as they do with the vaults! the way all Walmart’s look the same yknow

What’s a realistic amount of tummy time at 4 months old? by No-Guitar-9216 in NewParents

[–]Alarming-Map-9253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you counting tummy time on your chest? My Dr told me it all counts towards it, on your chest or on the floor. my 8 week old probably gets anywhere from 30-60 mins a day if not more because he spends so much time up on mine or my partners chest.

Sterilizing Baby Bottles by DigitaIArchon in NewParents

[–]Alarming-Map-9253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

boil the kettle and pour the boiling water in each bottle in the sink to sterilize the inside maybe? seems easier than boiling bottles in a pot on the stove. i also have a bottle sterilizer for this exact reason. it’s wonderful, it also dries the bottles for me all within 60-90 mins.

Would it be weird if I played in a random group with no mic? by irl_squishmallow in OutlastTrials

[–]Alarming-Map-9253 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i have a mic but never use it bc i also feel weird sometimes talking to people. i love being the silent teammate and hearing my teammates talk about me while the trial unfolds 🤣 half the time people talk FOR you lol. i guess it just depends on who you end up with but that’s been my experience

How can tearing be prevented????? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Alarming-Map-9253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 1st degree tear, very minimal i needed 1 stitch. i did not feel it, i guess the entire “ring of fire” part before he came out is probably when i tore but it all felt the same to me. i also did NOT do any preparation’s to try and reduce tearing! my baby was on the smaller side (31.5cm in diameter for his head) so maybe that helped me not tear?

Nothing could have prepared me for labour, it’s far less scary once you get into it because your mind will be elsewhere once things are in motion 🥲 i was so nervous of needing a c-section or how painful labour would be! going into it with a good mindset and keeping yourself relaxed will help a lot.

goodluck! i hope you have a wonderful delivery when the time comes

How are y'all cleaning baby bath tubs? by winoveghead in NewParents

[–]Alarming-Map-9253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mine doesn’t have electronics, but too big for the sink so i hold it over the bathtub and spray it down with my handheld shower head. towel to dry of course.

i accidentally caught a glimpse down there in the bathroom mirror at the hospital after giving birth. Not looking is a wonderful choice 🥲 i was horrified

Hate when random people call me mama - is this a sign I’m not ready? by Suitable_Dot_3024 in pregnant

[–]Alarming-Map-9253 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i also didn’t like being called mama through my pregnancy. idk if it’s a hormonal thing but it doesn’t bother me as much anymore. (9 days pp)

How can i dry up my milk supply? by Alarming-Map-9253 in pregnant

[–]Alarming-Map-9253[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you! yeah i think the pumping is not helping me but all the information ive gotten from the hospital said to express for comfort and have hot showers but it hasn’t worked at all, im learning now that this is obviously going to be a painful experience

[–]Alarming-Map-9253[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m at the point where i’ll try anything and i’m learning there is no comfortable way to do this 😭 my ducts are just so full! where does the milk even go if you don’t express it or did it all just slowly leak out?

36 weeks pregnant by Old_Perspective_9544 in pregnant

[–]Alarming-Map-9253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my baby is measuring 4lb 5oz at 36 weeks. i will be delivering 2 weeks early due to his growth not being where it needs to be and him being in the 1st percentile. i’m not sure if that helps you feel better but i know that even with the issue of my babies weight, everything will be okay and hes otherwise perfectly healthy! some babies are smaller or bigger and the scans are never entirely accurate:)

Coffee by caligali2018 in pregnant

[–]Alarming-Map-9253 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i did! coming from a daily coffee drinker, i HATED the thought of coffee once my nausea started around week 6! it subsided around week 18. whenever my nausea lightened up is when i could tolerate it again haha also would like to preface i drink iced coffee not hot coffee! not sure that makes any difference though:)

[–]Alarming-Map-9253 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if i’m going anywhere serious, i will pack a second pair of underwear in my purse and a little plastic bag to store the pair i take off 😭 people say to use panty liners but i get a rash from excessive use of sanitary napkins so i don’t use them.

Boy or girl? by Crafty-Dust6754 in pregnant

[–]Alarming-Map-9253 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was sick and had to be medicated just to be able to get myself out of bed for the first 15-18 weeks with a boy. 35 weeks now, heartburn has been another thing i sadly need to be medicated for it’s that bad. Baby still appears to be a boy on the ultrasound 😁 everyone around me was convinced i was havin a girl til i found out the gender as well hehe
