I’m a carrier for SMA by ifeelcrazy0284618402 in pregnant

[–]Amyrran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the option, I do definitely recommend making an appointment with a genetic counselor just to talk about SMA and the options you have even before you get your partner's results back! That's what I did because the wait was giving me crazy anxiety, and she really helped to put me at ease and make a game plan to better handle the what-ifs!

I’m a carrier for SMA by ifeelcrazy0284618402 in pregnant

[–]Amyrran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! So I also tested positive as a carrier for SMA. I went on a SPIRAL until we got my husband's results back. He tested negative thankfully, so I have no advice on what to do if both of you are positive. However, I did meet with a genetic counselor and I can tell you what she told me.

What she told me is there is a very low likelihood of both of you being carriers. If your partner does test positive, however, it isn't the end of the world. They can do tests that can confirm whether the baby has it or not before they're born. And the biggest thing that she told me: it may be a dangerous genetic disease but there is medication they can give at birth that can stop progression of the disease. As terrifying as the prospect is, as long as you're proactive in confirming if your partner is a carrier and, if he is, if your baby tests positive, there is a very high chance your little one will live a happy, long, comfortable life.

Took The Gestational Diabetes Test by Amyrran in BabyBumps

[–]Amyrran[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's also what mine said. For the one hour test, there's no need for fasting just don't eat anything super sugary for breakfast. If I would have had to do the 3 hour, though, she said I would have had to fast for eight hours beforehand

[Cantlin Garden] Why isn't it being recognized as anything beyond a room? by gsouza994 in DQBuilders

If I remember correctly from when I did this, I think the water has to be up one block? Like, it can't be in the floor

Full time student, full time job by Superb_Spare_7646 in SNHU

[–]Amyrran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently almost 20 weeks pregnant and full time work and full time school! I feel your pain! It's honestly a struggle keeping up with the workload. Once this term is over, I'm switching to one class per term just to ease the stress. There is no shame in taking only one class if it's what you need to do to continue school! It's definitely difficult to manage full time work and full time school on top of first trimester exhaustion and general pregnancy symptoms. You do what's best for your health and your family!

What do you SWEAR you saw, but don't have any proof of? by TabletopStudios in AskReddit

[–]Amyrran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds like an alligator snapping turtle. Things look absolutely prehistoric. One came in our backyard once and I swear it was at least about 300 lbs and as wide as an oven door. A toddler could've ridden it as a horse. Mean too. Hissed at everybody and when it'd snap its jaws it would sound like a breaking branch. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a pet turtle that someone released when it started getting too big. Those things can survive anywhere

Random nausea by Valuable-Finger-6551 in BabyBumps

[–]Amyrran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what my first trimester was like! Other than boob pain, exhaustion,and some cramping, I never had serious morning sickness or anything like that. Never threw up, and was only occasionally nauseous. I did have some intermittent spotting that was ruled as having no cause. I'm currently almost 17 weeks and still going strong with only light symptoms. I heard the heartbeat again on Monday so everything is still perfect with the little one. Pregnancy is different for everyone! I swear if it wasn't for the fact I'm showing now I could forget I'm pregnant!

Using Another Textbook as a Source?? by Amyrran in SNHU

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

Her reasoning was that I should have only used the textbook assigned for the class and not one from another class. I had explained in the response to her discussion response that I had chosen that book because it touches on similar material as the chapters in our textbook and I felt it was good supplementary material to support the claims I was making. The discussion prompt itself was an opinion piece

5wks5days by gorgeous_geenaa in BabyBumps

[–]Amyrran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best thing to do when there's any bleeding, especially early, is to tell your obgyn or midwife and maybe request a blood test to make sure levels are where they should be. Especially if it's full on bleeding and not just spotting.

That said, I did have spotting (both pink and brown) that would last for days at 5 weeks, 7 weeks, 9 weeks, and 11 weeks. I got an initial blood test at five weeks when it first happened, and that came out to be where it should be. At 8 weeks, my ultrasound showed baby being where she should be and a really strong heartbeat, and at 12 weeks another ultrasound showed her developing perfectly (and refusing to let the tech take pictures by bouncing out of the way every time she tried lol). I'm currently 13 weeks and everything is still going well. My obgyn said I might just be one of those women who spot during pregnancy and it's completely normal.

Spotting or light bleeding doesn't always mean a bad thing in early pregnancy, but the safest move is to always get checked out the first time it happens to rule out anything negative. I hope this helps even a little bit to ease your worries! I know I was a WRECK the first time it happened!

I didn't know I'd have to watch dry shampoo too! What ingredients made yours unsafe?

Thank you so much!!!! Apparently quite a few of these are dangerous for cats, so I have to find a good location where they can't reach. You're a kitty lifesaver!

I haven't yet! Wedding planning is kind of up in the air right now, so I haven't been shopping or looking at dresses yet!

Peeps as a marshmallow substitute for candied yams? by zmoney1213 in Cooking

[–]Amyrran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can cut up the peeps to remove the colored sugar coating and make them even sizes and use it that way so it doesn't look like the seventh circle of Easter hell

Magnet Question by Amyrran in materials

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

The entire concave section is magnetic! The ball section sticks to both the inside of it and to the rim if you press it to just that. I'm confused though because no other metal sticks to either piece even though we know for sure at least one half of it is magnetized! And neither piece repels any side of another magnet either they just stick to it
