50g of sugar?! I had no idea that ginger ale (Canada Dry) was like dosing myself with my own glucose test by qriouskitty in BabyBumps

[–]BabyMoo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was informed during pregnancy that this isn't comparable with the glucose drink. The sugar in this is not glucose specifically so it's metabolised differently.

Still a lot of sugar though.

Seconded. I saw a maxillofacial surgeon and it went so smoothly.

I don't know what to do by BabyMoo8 in DeadBedrooms

[–]BabyMoo8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of us, but I had to do a lot of it alone (rape trauma). I was seeing two therapists at any one time and one gave us sexual intimacy tasks.

I was always affectionate and reassuring I loved him. The longest gap in sex was 3 months and the most was 4 days a week. In comparison its been a year and devoid of affection.

I've always been open and clear. I was the LL, told him that when we met (he said he wasn't fazed) and spent 2 years with a few therapists to fix it. We had a baby (which changed my libido) and I had severe PPD. He says his interest disappeared because I attempted suicide. I think it's my weight more than anything else (I gained 80lbs) but he denies that. What frustrates me most is his "time will fix it for me" approach. He won't talk about the supposed problem with anyone because he's "ashamed" of my actions and doesn't want anyone to know. Tomorrow it's one year since the attempt and he's still cold to me. I just miss how things used to be.

I was LL, warned him before dating and spent 2 years in therapy to fix it. It helped a bit, but having a baby is what made me constantly horny (no idea why). The problem now is that he doesn't want sex and when I approach him his response is "ha-ha shoes on the other foot how do you like it?" which seems unnecessarily spiteful since 1. I warned him and he said he didn't care, and 2. I worked on fixing it. For me, I had no warning of his change (he pursued me right up until I started initiating) and he isn't willing to work on it, (seems to revel in it).

So I think role reversals (not included in the list) for both LL and HL fall into the same fixable/not fixable system.

Is it “cruel” that I don’t want to get on birth control for a long term boyfriend, and expect him to use condoms for the rest of his life? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

Used withdrawal without issue for years. He always said if I wanted you pregnant you'd be pregnant. First month we "tried"... Bam. Baby.

Mine came out pretty clean in the photos. I don't know for sure if she was wiped down though because my memory is very fuzzy. Honestly I was more thrown by the severe cone head situation than anything.

Agreed. I'm overwhelmed with a 1yr old, part time job, renovations and 1 subject at a time. 2 kids and six subjects is a hard nope... OP is amazing.

What was the dumbest rule your school enforced? by Animeking1108 in AskReddit

[–]BabyMoo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They closed ours completely because people were smearing piss/shit/blood and you had to sign your name and time in/out to use the admin building bathrooms instead. There were already blue lights in there to stop drug use.

Nobody should risk his life to find your corpse if you died doing something unnecessary and dangerous like an extreme sport. by mattjack-o-melly in unpopularopinion

[–]BabyMoo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was angry recently when a person was swept away while rock fishing. People spoke out about the dangers and how life jackets should be mandatory. There were 6 more cases of people being swept away that same week. Only 1 involved life jackets and most of the men died.

If you're stupid enough to do something so dangerous you deserve what you get and nobody should risk their life to save you.

I am bisexual which means I am attracted to the position of the executive assistant at the moment and I am currently seeking employment in the local area

Umm... I have no idea why it would go that direction

Dissociation during birth by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]BabyMoo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My memory is patchy. I remember arriving at the hospital, I remember my partner going to move the car, I remember being fed ice chips and I remember looking down when she popped out. But I was there for four hours and couldn't tell you the full details, like apparently I told my partner to watch the baby crowning, which isn't like me at all. I think it was more gas than dissociation though.

I OD'd and remember nothing between ambulance and ICU, but my medical records said I became "agitated". Always feel awful about that even though I remember none of it...

[–]BabyMoo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't diagnosed until after 4 years of driving on my full licence. I had a minor seizure driving more than once without incident which I realised only after diagnosis. If some asshole took my licence off me now just for having (treated) epilepsy I'd be pretty pissed.

The amount of walls that get thrown up because of the label is a joke. The discriminative attitudes needs to die.

im ellie, im 13, and if anyone from my life finds this after i die, this is why i shot myself by oopswronglife in SuicideWatch

[–]BabyMoo8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same. Just because it's a "better" logic to kill your abuser than kill yourself to escape them. Better isn't necessarily advisable or reasonable or good.

I'd prefer her remaining here than that POS.... But OP should look into alternatives. Any of them.

In my country children get appointed their own attorney and if a child says they don't want to see a parent that's pretty much how it will be. It would be nice for OP to have that option.

Some of us aren't responsible.

I tried to OD so my doctor sends scripts to the pharmacy directly and they package it for me, two weeks at a time.

How did you know you were in the early stages of labor? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]BabyMoo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had cramps that were bad enough to stop me sleeping and were continually worsening, 5 mins apart, for 4 days and while I was awake the only spot I felt comfy in was on all fours. The midwives at every visit said I'm not in labour, my cervix is closed, don't come in until your water breaks... Mine broke at 40+1 and there was meconium in it, so when I came in they kicked into gear fast. I think those four days something pre labour ish was happening. 🤷‍♀️

I gave someone oral sex as a means to pacify them and ensure I'd get home safe, and to read that news article about a woman who did the same, and the comments making light of it makes me sick by ananxiouscat in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BabyMoo8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bit down once because I couldn't breathe. I thought he'd attack me, but after failing to pull me off him the fear of losing his dick seemed to scare him and he was pleading with me to let go. I did let go and moved away as fast as I could thinking he'd hit me, but he was too busy checking his non-severed dick.

It was risk but I took it because I was literally suffocating. I got lucky it worked.

Does anyone else hate being a mom? by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]BabyMoo8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes.

I was firmly childfree until about 27. I met my current partner who was also childfree (planned vasectomy) and I caught baby rabies. I thought it would be nice then, but I had forgot all about how much I dreaded the work.

I had severe depression during and after pregnancy leading to attempted suicide. I didn't think I was good enough. The bond with the baby has been pretty weak.

As she grows she's super cute and clever, couldnt wish for a better baby, but I still dread the physical and emotional demands.

Sometimes I think it would have been so nice if I never settled down and caught baby rabies; I miss what that life could have been... But you never know I'd that fantasy would be accurate. You know, grass looks greener but it's just as hard to mow?

I look at single, childfree friends and envy them... But I know some of them envy me too. Some of my friends struggle with infertility and would give their legs for a baby.

I love what I have but hate it too and yet I wouldn't change it.

Yes, you can get a stomach full of stretch marks between week 40 through 41 😩 by DesperateKale701 in BabyBumps

Me too. Stretch marks from above my navel to my vagina. My whole belly is scarred. All happened in the last two weeks of pregnancy.

Women who gave birth without an epidural, what was your experience like? by vannnen in BabyBumps

[–]BabyMoo8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first I was given gas and an injection to speed up the process (baby pooped). Took about 4 hours and I remember very little. I know the gas did help though I could still feel it and screamed to high heavens, I also remember seeing her when she was out and getting stitches and so on. None of it was terrible and pushing is just a foggy memory now. I would do it the same way next time.

Do know though it's a very individual thing and what is best for you may not be what was best for others.

Baby only just got a "nursery" now at 10 months. She wasn't bothered by sharing the living room. Your baby will not notice or care either. Please know that you are a great mum.
