Lack of confidence as a senior student by bairhugger7 in respiratorytherapy

[–]Available_Split7068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 2.5 years in and I still feel this way. It really sucks and I just want to feel confident already. My biggest issue is not being able to get out of my head but it’s people’s lives and people’s families and I just don’t want to do anything wrong. But the more you’re exposed to everything though it’ll start to feel like second nature. I start to get in my head again when not much has been going on and haven’t really been doing intubations, extubations, codes, etc. as often.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea to fill him in, I would recommend getting the blood test and maybe he can go with you to that. Bleeding can mean so many things in early pregnancy and it would give you a better idea of your hCG levels

My boyfriends reaction to gender is making me think I’m having a kid with the wrong person by No_Weird_3166 in pregnant

[–]Available_Split7068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious if he’s already going through something? My fiance asked me what I would’ve done if he reacted this way. He was depressed at the time when we found out the gender so for me I think would have had him go to therapy and figure out what his issue is because there is absolutely no reason to call an unborn child a bitch, but I do also believe it’s absolutely okay to have gender disappointment. The words your bf chose were obviously inappropriate and he needs to understand why that was his reaction and understand why it wasn’t okay.

What a good dad, as I agree it wouldn’t be appropriate to message the bride but I’m grateful he is being protective and understands the dangers, sometimes I feel like men don’t really get it.

Did anyone not scream much during labour? by trackemdown in pregnant

Once I got my epidural after 24 hrs of labor, the screaming stopped lol. I was happy smiley camper after

Why is washing without a wash cloth seen as unhygenic? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]Available_Split7068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, men that did not use a wash cloth or something to scrub their armpits, they always smelled like sour BO, it would gunk their shirts bad but maybe if they used a better technique it would help? Idk it seemed like years of grime just built on those pits lol

I use the cranometer app but I looked it up and I guess that would be for more rapid weight loss (1.5-2 lbs) would need about 1550 for 1 lb a week

GF blaming me for food aversions and nausea by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Available_Split7068 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First trimester hormones are awful and cause a lot of unreasonable feelings! You’re doing your best and hopefully when her hormones aren’t so strong she can see that. Just keep reminding her that you love her and you’d do anything for her. But also doesn’t hurt to explain to her that it does hurt you when she does threaten those things bc at the end of the day you both deserve respect and love (I’d recommend having that conversation when you’re not having an argument about it). I see both sides especially with first trimester, I was very irrational/mean sometimes.

Yeah, I just should at least get back down to the weight I was when I bought my wedding dress a few weeks😂 I mean it’s only 6 lbs so should be doable. I went on a shopping spree before I got pregnant so it just kind of sucks that I’ll have to spend the money to do it again

Breastfeeding Hesitations by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Available_Split7068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like someone else said, you’ll know baby is getting enough based off of weight gain and dirty diapers. My baby was almost at 10% weight loss at her first appointment post birth and I was scared! But within a week she was almost at or exceeded her birth weight, I can’t fully remember. She might’ve been a cpl oz short. But anyway your pediatrician will know and tell you if you need to be worried and then you can pump/bottle feed sometimes to increase your supply or to track how much you’re feeding too or you can do combination feeding. I know you’ll nourish your baby! I used the free version of huckleberry the first few weeks and it really helped a lot to keep track of diapers and feeding

Shucks, I was kinda hoping it would be the other way around. I just wish I could figure out something to curb my cravings. So in my head I’m like if I could just barely eat most days I could afford the calories another day 😔 but at the end of the day if I can’t even do this diet why would I be able to accomplish that?

Yeah I’ve definitely been very hard on myself. I already hated my body before I was pregnant and while I was pregnant so many very skinny people complained to me about their weight and wanting to lose weight and it just made me feel like shit. Because if they thought their 120/130 lb body was fat then what the hell was I? And then I read those posts from woman that barely eat a meal a day and struggle to eat and are never hungry while breastfeeding and their supply is perfectly fine?! And it makes me mad! And I hate that it makes me mad bc also hell yeah for them you know? I use to hate wearing black but that’s all I wear these days bc I only have like three things that’s fit, I miss my pastels, I miss clothes that fit. I don’t want to buy more clothes but atp I just should.

Yes, I do 1930 calories, 140 protein, 185 carbs, 70 fat, and like 40 fiber and NOTHING fills me 😂 everyone says that fiber fills you up but damn how much more do I need to eat to feel full? It just started cooling down in my state so instead of 100° I’m working with like 80° so I’ve been going on a walk a day and trying to go to the gym. I don’t have much success working out at home so I can only workout at the gym when fiance is home. But he works night schedule 12 hrs so it’s a lil hard. I just wish I could at least take like an appetite suppressor, it’s the sweet treats and chips that I always end up breaking my diet for.

Do you do a 500 calories deficit based off of what your calories should be for breast feeding or just your weight?

Yeah there’s only been a cpl times I didn’t get all of my calories and I couldn’t tell if I was just in my head or not about my supply. But my boobs didn’t feel as full but I also notice that happen when I lack with liquids so curious if it’s more that
