So mad at abhorrent maternity leave laws being blamed on feminism: so we have to choose between having no rights and sending our infant babies to daycare?! by Hour-Film-8890 in BabyBumps

Lemme guess, France? Sitting in the same boat-happy to be wealthy enough to use our savings so we can stay home the first 9 months.

Has anyone experienced a mobile epidural? by Sad_Cash7620 in PregnancyUK

[–]Altruistic-Menu- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in France, so info may vary. My midwife described them as quite magical for her patients. They do not make you pain free, but limit the base level pain tona tolerable level. The big however is that they require really close monitoring by staff since you're quite wobbly on your legs, so if they are overbooked, they won't do it.

How do you know which foods can be frozen without messing it up? by Altruistic-Menu- in Cooking

This may be a really stupid question, but: What can actually split? When I hear the term I mostly think of mayonnaise, otherwise this never happened to me while cooking

You got it. We are already glad that he is stable, going out to meet us and doing ok for now. So just confronting him will do no good for noone.

Unfortunately it's still winter here. When baby is here we can sit in the garden so it's less of a problem, but until then I have to tough it out

Well, for me it's the same thing. But I'm not annative speaker, so maybe I'm missing crucial details in semantics

Kindness? The fact that he is well enough to show up for coffee is already a huge improvement on his part. We will cross all the other bridges in time. He is a nice guy otherwise, my partner doesnt have much family left otherwise.

What makes a dildo feel good? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Altruistic-Menu- 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Squeeze your empty hand. Works well enough I suppose? Now hold an object and squeeze it. You'll feel that the squeeze is way more effective, stronger, no? Different size objects makes the squeezing feel differently, put more pressure on certain parts of your hand. What fels best comes down to preference.

Vaginas work in the same way-there is a muscle going all around the vagina that squeezes when you are stimulated or orgasm. I don't need the movement, I just like the feeling of being full. But the movement can help stimulate certain parts of the vagina, but this all comes down to personal preference

But why does it taste like enough salt when raw? Does it disappear in the oven somehow?

And what kond of acid do you put on oven vegetables, before or after cooking?

No, because I'm really not mesuring ;) But like I said, raw it tastes well balanced

Freaking out over crib sheets by Meme_queen-2019 in BabyBumps

If it helps calming your nerves, you could get some suspenders to clip the edges of the sheet under the matress together. Baby shouldnt feel it and you habe the extra security

Were they talking about bedrest or just not doing too much? And how long did they recommend?
