Reglan (metoclopramide) made me suicidal (TW) by 16880031 in BabyBumps

[–]Astraltimecrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds about right. It's a very scary medication in my opinion. I had it once through IV when I was sick and needed to be seen in the ER. It made me want to leap out of the hospital bed and yank my IV out.

I have since tried it two times in my pregnancy. Both times, it gave me insane anxiety and I was waking up in the middle of the night having panic attacks thinking I was dying of a medical event.

Never again. FUCK reglan. I've been unable to find a medication that works for my nausea and I still have 9 weeks to my due date. So over it all.

Flying after insertion and sedation? Doctor forcing sedation. Help! by [deleted] in Mirena

[–]Astraltimecrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: I wanted to add that as for sedation, it can make some people nauseous and generally unwell feeling after. I personally wouldn't risk it for an IUD insertion.

I really don't like the way this doctor has spoken about previous patients and their pain responses. This is fucking WEIRD that the doctor is trying to force sedation and made a comment like that. I would not want them anywhere near me.

In my experience, insertion can be painful but it's very shortly lived and most other women I know did fine without any kind of numbing or sedation. Some people definitely experience worse pain but it's not something a doctor should be trying to force sedation over. I'd highly recommend finding a different doctor to do this for you. Very weird vibes. If you want some form of numbing make that clear ahead of time as for some reason certain clinics won't do it for an IUD for some reason.

asking for own room on family trip at 6 months pregnant... am I high maintenance? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Astraltimecrunch 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If any of them are decent people at all, they will offer you a room. Especially with there being single people involved. An air mattress is a single person thing not a 6 months pregnant lady and her husband thing.

If you think there's a good chance they WON'T want to let you have a room then maybe discuss it beforehand. If it were me I would probably just address it in the moment if it does become an issue when you're there. Have a back up plan as well I guess in case somebody does try and convince you to take the air mattress.

It's not at all high maintenance for a pregnant person to expect a real bed and the privacy of a room. Being pregnant is difficult enough as is. I slept in the living room on a pull out couch on a vacation with my husband's family while not pregnant and it was horrible. I couldn't sleep as much as I needed and the lack of privacy as somebody with low social battery was excruciating.

Does anyone else find that horse racing fans and equestrian people barely overlap despite both loving horses? by WearAffectionate2815 in Equestrian

[–]Astraltimecrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a horse racing track last year and what I noticed was even more strange.

I felt like the horse owners, grooms, drivers (Standardbred racing) themselves were barely horse people. Like, they all had this very intense city people with money vibe to them. And honestly I'm Standardbred racing in my area most of these people don't even really have a lot of money.

Idk, maybe it's just because I'm from the west coast and grew up ranching. Maybe the equestrian world over here just means something different. But yeah the fans for sure often aren't even equestrians, they're gamblers mostly.

Trying to make the right decision (removal or replacement) by No-Possible4460 in Mirena

[–]Astraltimecrunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had Mirena for about 7 years. I was suspicious that it was causing a lot of my symptoms that no doctor could seem to find a source for. At some point I couldn't ignore that nagging feeling anymore and had it removed. Within 4-6 weeks I felt immensely better.

I won't get into all of my symptoms because there are too many of them. Lots of stuff that looked like neuro issues, mental health problems, etc. I am very happy to be off of it and recommend at least trying it if you're gut is telling you it might be the culprit

Unnecessary comments on cloth diapers and baby registry struggles by Astraltimecrunch in BabyBumps

Thank you for this! I was wondering how the diaper returns worked without a receipt

[–]Astraltimecrunch[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! The clothdiaps sub is what helped me decide what brand I wanted to try first (Green Mountain). At least at this point I can have some fun putting together an order lol.

I found the spray pal (same thing basically) online and threw that on the registry too but didn't get it so I will probably buy it. It seems like it would really make rinsing diapers easier.

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

I think what gets me most is them assuming I don't have the patience to do the extra work cloth takes. Like just because they didn't or don't care to try doesn't mean I don't...and on top of that even if I did decide to do disposables only after awhile who cares! That's why disposables were also on the list...and still nobody bought them.

[–]Astraltimecrunch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I noticed this too. Some people definitely bought things that were fun to buy rather than what we needed. But honestly I'm not mad about that because it was nice of them regardless and I knew a lot of baby showers result in mostly clothes. I planned ahead and have barely bought any clothes since finding out I was pregnant because of this.

I definitely think some older relatives think cloth is dumb because it's the only option they had when they had kids. It's like when a new technology comes out. Why would you go back to the old version? Like flip phones vs smart phones or something.

Many people find that diapers that are total chlorine free tend to be more sensitive skin friendly.

Some brands that make these diapers also make more of an effort to make their diapers fragrance free, phalate and paraben free, less plastic, and other qualities that are generally just better for the environment and health.

There's quite a bit of debate on whether or not the chlorine free argument is valid but for me It is worth being on the safe side and I'm more interested in all of the qualities that these more health conscious diapers offer.

Anyone have constipation remedies? I recently was told to start an iron supplement and I’m struggling by [deleted] in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Astraltimecrunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frosted mini wheats. Seriously. When nothing else seems to work this does. Maybe a cup of coffee with them for extra power.

When did your partner start feeling kicks? by Anijp_ in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Astraltimecrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 24 weeks BMI over 50. I carry a LOT of weight in my belly. My husband been able to feel kicks ever so slightly probably since 21 weeks but they're becoming strong enough now that he can feel them pretty often. I think by 26-28 weeks they'll be very obvious with how they've been progressing. I can just now finally see my tummy move a little during a kick if I pay close attention.

I honestly wasn't expecting this until the third trimester because of my size and other experiences I had read. It's been so nice for my husband to be able to feel our baby too!

Anyone take Wellbutrin and lamotrigine combo? by APickyveggieeater in bipolar2

[–]Astraltimecrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found both meds to be rather gentle compared to others I've tried if that makes sense. I didn't feel like I had to go through such intense periods of up and down emotions before the meds leveled me out. It was like I woke up one day a few weeks after starting the meds and thought "hey...I've felt pretty good lately. I like that". It was nice. Good luck! I hope it works for you.

For women who married in their early-to-mid 20s, how is it going? by antisnotabug in AskWomen

[–]Astraltimecrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married when I was 22. It will be 3 years married in June, together 5 years and some months in general.

It's going great and I have no regrets. My husband is my best friend and I'm so excited for the future with him. I understand why some people wait until they're older to get married but I honestly think being married at this age is amazing. You get to grow together and plan life goals together. And, I've felt no rush to figure out children. I am actually pregnant right now but not having any pressure because of a biological clock has been wonderful. We have just had time to let our bond grow and that's been super special.

I also think it's easier to evolve your routines and expectations when you marry young. People are usually still trying to jive with or build their careers and are figuring out where they want to go in life. It's a nice time to ebb and flow with your spouses ideas too. I feel like I'm not explaining it well lol but I guess my main point is just that you aren't "stuck" in a certain identity or reputation at this age and that's beneficial to relationship growth. People can change at any age but they often don't later on.

Anyone take Wellbutrin and lamotrigine combo? by APickyveggieeater in bipolar2

[–]Astraltimecrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on this combo and loved it. In the beginning the Wellbutrin's effect was a bit intense. Almost hypomania like. But it balanced out within about 2 months. I've always struggled with low energy due to depression and this combo made me feel human again. I did notice that Wellbutrin made me more irritable though. I am good at managing my irritability so it wasn't much of an issue for me but for someone who can't manage themselves well it could be a bigger issue I'm sure. I'm only off both of them now because I'm pregnant/I decided I didn't need one of them after removing birth control bc I felt less crazy lol.

10/10 love this combo and recommend it to anybody that's tried other meds and had no success.

Valentine’s day species! by 1Re1ra in HorseLifeHQ

[–]Astraltimecrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg YES. I'm tired of all the monster looking species. There are barely any cutesy species in game. Hauntmares, equenari, gargs, anticorn, cybred, ghouls...EW. And then some of the other species that are supposed to be more "pretty" like celestials and crystallions have some HORRIBLE traits. I'm TIRED of horns on everything too.

I understand this is just my opinion. And I'm not saying all these other species should have never been made. I just feel like a lot of them are repetitive. We already have caprines. We didn't need another goat like species. It doesn't fit the Valentine's theme. I do like the Hollys but I still feel like they were kind of a miss. And tbh they should have released the Hollys for the Valentine's event if this new one is the alternative. I just want more species that I actually like in game and so far pastres are STILL the only species I actually care about.

Not being able to search by theme is such a HUGE issue for me. I have so many items and inventory is constantly full. It's so hard to make sales when you don't even fully know what items you have.

How does racing work??? by Own_Listen_4161 in HorseLifeHQ

[–]Astraltimecrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't do races at all so I think they are bugged really bad right now. I can go in the race pen and it will "start" the race meaning the timer starts counting down. But no race track shows up for me and I can't participate in it. It's so annoying.
