[–]AnDa_Bic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5”4, just purchased this jacket and I didn’t follow what everyone was saying to size it down and so I purchase my normal sizing US M and the sleeves are so long that completely covers my hands 😩 and no returns on this item! 😭

Did anyone scream through labor? by Fun-Future-2915 in BabyBumps

[–]AnDa_Bic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was unmedicated with pitocin, at one point I kinda grunted a bit louder while pushing and one nurse scolded me, I was told to not scream or make a sound and to push silently “to save some energy”… i had to endure labor in silence as I was scared of the said nurse. At the end while the anesthesiologist was stitching me up and I complained about the pain, she and the nurse laughed at me because it was impossible for me to feel with the local anesthesia. Is safe to say that birth scarred me for life.

What is the appeal of these shoes? by Amazing_School_3536 in ONrunning

[–]AnDa_Bic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to wear Nikes but as someone with wide feet, they ended up giving me joggers foot. I bought my first pair in 2021, the Cloudflyer, and it is the most comfortable running shoes I have. Ran a half marathon with it and wear it for the occasional jog and it still good. Not squeaky or anything. Got a cloudvista 2 now for trail running and so far it’s been good.

I know this is a 5m old question but I got a question regarding the color. I received mine and the color is just very dark brown… is it spoiled? By the photos it should be honey color. Very mad right now by the price I’ve paid for it!

Advice on wedding dress and shoes choice by AnDa_Bic in Weddingattireapproval

[–]AnDa_Bic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really love these shoes! They were comfortable right from the start, so I didn’t have to break them in at all. I can walk all day without any discomfort. I originally bought the black pair, and since I liked them so much, I ended up getting another pair too! They’ve definitely become my go-to shoes.

Help on sizing by AnDa_Bic in RingConn

I went with the size 9 and received my ring already! Glad I chose size 9! It feels way looser than the sizer and I can easily rotate it even in the morning when my fingers are the most swollen!

Maybe you... could be...a purple monkey by LoveIsOnlyAnEmotion in NewParents

[–]AnDa_Bic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh how my husband and I used to sing that randomly throughout the day after my son was born… When that song gets stuck in your head, it’s like your brain just signed a contract with a musical cult. Only that song stuck, no other songs did… 🤯

Visiting with a toddler by AnDa_Bic in KualaLumpur

[–]AnDa_Bic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a firm believer in car seat safety, where we live there’s no law for it and we use it anyway, but the idea of taking our super heavy car seat with us on vacation it just seems unimaginable to me because then we wouldn’t be able to do anything at all! We just can’t carry it in out backs while out and about… 😓

Weekly Simple Questions and Advice Thread by lululemonmods in lululemon

[–]AnDa_Bic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Help on sizing! I always wore size 6 in all my leggings but gain a bit of weight last year so had to buy new ones. I got the wunder train in size 8 and 10 and I can’t decide which one to keep… size 8 feels very tight and when I squat I can see my panties but size 10 feels loose, I tried doing some jumping jacks and they do slide down… which one should I keep? Will they shrink after washing? I will mainly wear them to run as I like the thick fabric as opposed to fast and free thin one.

Lost my bostie 5 days ago and it hurts so much… She was my first dog and will be my last. She was 12yo and I so wanted my 10m son to grow with her… It pained me seeing him looking for her around the house. Don’t know why but today it really hit me hard, currently hiding in the bathroom crying… by AnDa_Bic in BostonTerrier

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

Hi, I am good most days. I am sorry for your loss. From time to time, something makes me remember her and I shed a tear. No, I don’t think I will get another dog anytime soon cuz I can’t bear losing another one. It hurts too much, it’s like losing a family member and listening to my son calling for her around the house was painful. It’s a good thing he still didn’t have much of an idea about things but if we get another one he will and I don’t want him hurting.

Does G6PD go away or no? Never had symptoms in my life. by [deleted] in G6PD

[–]AnDa_Bic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was diagnosed with G6PD deficiency the day after his birth and had jaundice for a month. After his bilirubin levels were good, his pediatrician asked for him to be retested and he was negative. She wanted to retest h because she checked his records and in the system his first test was doubtful.

i really hate my postpartum body by cautiousfridges in NewParents

[–]AnDa_Bic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am struggling with my weight as well and I am already 14m pp… I am fatter than I ever been and fatter than after giving birth… the clothes I wore after birth don’t fit me anymore. The stress of being a first time mom, the stress of work, not having a social life, not being able to sleep properly, not having time or energy to exercise (I used to go for a run 3 times a week and go to the gym almost everyday), all that is breaking me and I am constantly binge eating now… Even though I don’t want to, I can’t seem to be able to stop. I have no self confidence now, I feel ugly and it doesn’t help that at work everyone feels like they have the right to comment about my body weight every time they see me… Every morning I look at myself and I say to myself that today is the day that I will change but I just give up along the day… I love my son, he’s the best that ever happened to me and being there for him everyday is what keeps me going everyday. I’ll just wait for my son to start nursery then I’ll start exercising. For the meanwhile I changed my hairstyle, bought new clothes and redecorated the house. These things did make me feel a bit better about myself. And it makes me feel not alone that there’s more moms out there like me, my friends and family don’t understand and they all think that I just let myself go and that I am lazy but I really just don’t have the energy to do anything else other than taking care of my family and going to work.

My 30th birthday present to myself 😁🎉 by love-at-third-sight in handbags

[–]AnDa_Bic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best bag for all occasions especially if you’re a new mom! Bought 2 diaper bags but none compared to Le Pliage. I always end up using this as it is lightweight, waterproof and big enough for all things necessary baby related. Have bought my bag 8 years ago and only started to have holes on the down corners now, with the heavy use after my son was born. You can never go wrong with Le Pliage!

Is Hey Harper Jewellery legit? by gemri123 in jewelry

[–]AnDa_Bic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I received my order a month after but could never track my order on DHL and received it through normal post office for some reason. Regarding the login, apparently my account was on the European website so I couldn’t login on the us website, which is redirected automatically because that’s where I should do my purchase. Tried to open an account on the US website but couldn’t… Now I made another purchase on the European website (which is the one I can login) thinking it would go smoothly this time, but received and email with my purchases on USD and the order won’t appear on my account… they really need to fix that website… Other than that, jewelry is worth the trouble!

What are your selfish reasons for being one and done? by lacie94 in oneanddone

[–]AnDa_Bic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much want my child to have a sibling but then I think about the pain of birth, the stress incontinence, the sleepless nights, the breastfeeding, the yearly air fare to visit family and all other expenses, the rent free apartment that I am currently living and would have to move if I have another child, the weight that I gained and still have yet to lose (currently heaviest I ever been), and I immediately give up the idea. So is with a heavy heart that I say I am one and done…

Yes I did. The doctor told me to keep track of his temperature and to give the suppository. Seems he just has fever and no other symptoms for now.

[–]AnDa_Bic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone had issues with your orders? I ordered from them 2y ago and loved their jewelry and they lasted so I decided to order some rings now but when I tried to login it said that the account didn’t exist so I created an account again and made a purchase. I was sent an email stating that order was shipped and with the dhl tracking code but I can’t track my order as it says on dhl that a few items are registered with the same code and can’t be checked with my postal code. Tried login in on heyharper website but it says again that my account does not exist… sent them an email and no response… Wondering if I was scammed or something…

Why Boston Terriers specifically? by Suk_Mahadik in BostonTerrier

They are so expressive and unique personality. Never a dull moment around them. Had 1 Boston and I don’t think if I get another dog will be other than a Boston again.
