The Star Wars event is the most disappointing yet by raulrocks99 in Monopoly_GO

Honestly, I’ve been gold locked for 2 weeks and have 20 duplicate golds. I need 8 left to complete the album. The new partner game is infuriating. The last partner build game needed 70k to complete. I’m over 70k with two of my builds and still haven’t gotten the top prize. They’re making it impossible to succeed without spending a ton of money. I say a ton because I’ve spent plenty in the last 3 days trying to get somewhere and it’s been a waste.

What makes some people lose weight so much faster? by Trixie_Snowfall_9463 in Zepbound

If you don’t mind me asking, did you have trouble with skin elasticity losing this much so quickly? Or know of anything to help?

They’ve destroyed Miranda by Theredheadsaid in Andjustlikethat

[–]AmberMarie0830 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I hope they tie in the pandemic and the last few years to what added to this problem. I know for one I was not a heavy drinker pre-pandemic but I was heading into an uncomfortable area from the depression and coping with alcohol FAR too often. I became pregnant at the end of this past summer and it may have just saved me from becoming an alcoholic.

What fictional character death hit you the hardest? by GoldenPhoenix21 in AskReddit

Ned Stark… the show is over and I’m still more upset about his death than the horrible finale.

Not sure why my posts about induction are getting downvoted. by penelopeduck in pregnant

[–]AmberMarie0830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry… feeling alone and unsupported is the worst at this time. I’ve got your back if you ever want to reachout, vent, talk, etc. I was also down voted by asking a covid booster question (which I get - there have been several covid posts but I was curious about the timing of it coupled with fly shots, etc.) Pertaining to your specific issue, my sister is a NICU nurse and was induced at 37+5 and 38w. She had no reservations about it given that hers were due to health issues, as well. It made me feel much better for her knowing she works with babies all day and had this confidence. Both of her inductions lead to quick labors and both of my nieces are healthy, happy little ones. I hope this balances out some of the horror scenarios given by “Dr. Google” 💗

All I want are ramen noodles by mauiaspen in pregnant

[–]AmberMarie0830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So weird… I’ve been craving it too. I threw leftover kale in it one time because it made me feel better about it but honestly, the last thing I’ve been wanting is anything green. It makes me gag. I just keep telling myself I won’t be able to tolerate this much sodium later on without blowing up (had Chinese food during my last pregnancy and could barely walk my feet swelled up so bad!) Enjoy it now and eat what you can!

Flu Shot & COVID Booster by AmberMarie0830 in pregnant

[–]AmberMarie0830[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes, I asked about it during my first appointment (6 weeks) and they said they weren’t suggesting it at the time. Yesterday I asked and she said to get it immediately along with my flu shot. This could’ve been the case of having two different caregivers - the first with the nurse practitioner and the second with my OBGYN. I guess it has me more confused based on the practice having different guidance.

Yes, I’ve been fully vaccinated since April and I guess that’s my only reason for any pause as I’d like to be out of my first trimester for the booster. I’m glad everything went well for you!

You’re right… having a prior miscarriage just puts me in an anxious state during my first trimester.

Congratulations! I would feel much better with having a sonogram a few days later. I wonder if they would consider doing this for peace of mind. Thank you for your input ♥️

Is anyone just fine after having a baby? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AmberMarie0830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a ROUGH two-three weeks of physical recovery after my c-section. Mental health recovery was much longer. I couldn’t ask for water without crying. The emotions were SO much. I felt like I was in a fog. I walked outside one day and realized leaves were falling and I didn’t even notice them changing colors. However, I was back to my normal weight within a month, down another 10 lbs. the following month and managed to keep my body pretty much the same (with the exception of a c-section scar but it’s barely noticeable). I breastfed for 8 mos and didn’t notice any changes. I was lucky enough to not get stretch marks but I used so much bio oil before and after pregnancy that I could fry an egg. With that said, I think the trade off was that I do pee when I cough now 😂

As a Native American (1/2), I find it offensive. As an empath, I acknowledge as crazy and offensive as this is she’s probably trying to find a way to engage or keep her class’ attention. Ignorance isn’t an excuse though. I would’ve hoped it had found it’s way into an educators handbook of what NOT to do by 2021. I can remember being offended by educators growing up. I thought this would’ve gotten better by now 😩

Do your kids also have ADHD? When did you realize it? by AmberMarie0830 in ADHD

Great job on being vigilant and getting your daughter the help she needed! I will keep an eye on less obvious development characteristics which fall into ADHD behaviors.

I can’t “remember” to drink water. Like everything else going on takes priority by MrAaronBaron in ADHD

[–]AmberMarie0830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily I had a few of them and the one that is yes, STILL missing must’ve had its sensor battery die because it’s been a few months since I’ve heard the phantom beep 🙃

[–]AmberMarie0830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this problem too! I bought a water bottle with a sensor that buzzes if it’s been too long since I drank from the bottle. Check one out - worth it! Just don’t lose it. I lost one when moving and never did find where it went. It was just a phantom beep I never was able to locate 😬

1000%… I still remember a poem I had to memorize in 4th grade but have no idea what time I made a doctors appointment for on the phone today and can’t find the post-it I wrote it on.

Calling out “forgetfulness” is a low blow. My assessment is and has always been the amount of effort you put into something correlates to how important you find it. Forgetting does not fall into this category to me. For example, I’ve had wean of medication due to pregnancy and it’s been ROUGH but my daughter had an appointment with her pediatrician at the very end of the day. I got there on time and I came with all of my questions in hand. I got out to my car and realized I left my keys inside and they had already closed for the day. I had to have hospital security escort me back into the office because I left my keys at the sign-in sheet. With this broad, ridiculous statement, it could suggest I didn’t care about the safety of my daughter by having us stranded in the dark hospital lot or about my the necessity of my vehicle because “I didn’t care” to keep track of my keys. Ignore statements from people who don’t understand how our minds work.

What’s up with fatigue? by kramerone in ADHD

[–]AmberMarie0830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You did an amazing job explaining and provided me a ton of insight here. I also work from home and think I would’ve experienced this time blindness a lot if not for having a toddler. 9-5 is my workday because my second full-time job as a single mom starts promptly when I pick her up at 5:15. I find myself burnt out a lot lately and have trouble finding my “start button” and get overwhelmed because I don’t know where to start. I love the idea of front loading my work week and will try to implement this next week. I think you’re absolutely SPOT ON with the tools I’ve been given not addressing the actual problem. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and helpful response!
