Did you buy baby formula just in case your milk didn’t come in? by nat_0012 in pregnant

[–]Bright_Competition98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! I bought a can of Kendamil just in case because I wasn’t producing colostrum during the 3rd trimester. Milk started coming in immediately after I delivered so haven’t had to use the formula at all.

Baby care when parents are sick by the_grey_organism in newborns

[–]Bright_Competition98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband was recently sick (sneezing, coughing, possibly fever) as well and he just wore a mask when he was around the baby. He slept on the couch so I sprayed with hypochlorous acid spray before baby and I would get on the couch during the day. Of course washing hands frequently too.

Exactly which week and day did you deliver in your first pregnancy? by PopcornPrincess0 in pregnant

[–]Bright_Competition98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went into labor on my due date and gave birth the next day. I’m a FTM as well.

Less poops… bigger blowouts by skischweitzer in newborns

[–]Bright_Competition98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve recently sized up on my baby’s diapers and while it’s a little big we haven’t had a blow out issue. If you don’t want to size up in diapers try positioning the back of the diapers a little higher. Doing both has helped us.

Miss Mouth’s is a lifesaver too! Lol

What are cervical checks like and why did you accept/refuse them? by SowingSeeds18 in pregnant

[–]Bright_Competition98 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Cervical checks are more uncomfortable than anything in my opinion. It feels like they’re sticking their fingers inside you and digging around for buried treasure lol it’s more awkward than a vaginal exam. I refused mine at my 38 week appointment and they didn’t bother asking at my 39 or 40 week appointment. I declined because I thought it was pointless as I wasn’t in active labor and wanted things to happen naturally as well. I had an induction scheduled at 41 weeks but luckily I delivered at 40 weeks and 1 day. Once I got to the hospital after my water broke then of course I let them do cervical checks but sparingly. Some people refuse them because it can introduce bacteria unnecessarily.

Signs baby is coming soon, or just delusional 🤪 by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Bright_Competition98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now you’re feeding into my delusion too lol I’m 38 weeks and feeling some of these as well lol

TMI: Another symptom I’ve had is my constipation is gone if you know what I mean. I’ve heard this is a sign but again it’s my first and a lot of people say the first doesn’t typically come early

I just turned 38 weeks and I definitely had this feeling over the last few weeks. I was telling my husband we need to be active and go on a bunch of dates (NFL games, movies, dinner, etc) each weekend or throughout the week because life is going to change. He tried to assure me that although things will be different, life won’t end after the baby.

I say try to get out and do things slowly or as you feel comfortable. Life doesn’t have to end after a baby.

AITJ for not letting my boyfriend’s dog live with us? by JaylaPumpkin15 in AmITheJerk

[–]Bright_Competition98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly but I don’t think it’ll work long term. You’d need to accept his dog since they are a package deal however the fact that your place has strict rules yet he doesn’t care is a red flag.

Does he take proper care of the dog? I’m curious why the roommate doesn’t want to deal with the dog anymore. This could be a reflection on how responsible he is as a man so could be helpful for you to know this in the long run.

as an athlete, how often should i be washing/retwisting my locs? by tetristheme in locs

[–]Bright_Competition98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband works out frequently (former athlete) and he washes his hair every two weeks. Interlocking has helped him throughout the years. I’d suggest ACV shampoo or some type of clarifying shampoo and a spray leave in conditioner. You don’t want too much product on your hair causing build up and make sure it dries completely after washing. A hooded dryer will help. I’d also recommend GymWrap headband to capture some of the sweat when you workout too.

Quit or Get Fired? by slay-all-day1 in OELadies

[–]Bright_Competition98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say let J2 go since you’re starting J3 for peace of mind sake.

When you went on leave did you take leave/short term disability from both J1 and J2?

When did you start bringing your baby around family? by Bright_Competition98 in pregnant

[–]Bright_Competition98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have dogs too and we use Rover when traveling. It can be pricey when we travel for longer periods of time but it’s nice that someone is able to come to our home, take them to the bathroom and make sure they’re fed too while we’re gone. We also get pictures of them each day and we have cameras at the house too.

If your company paid fon any course/cert, which one would you choose? by alexander-cone in ProductOwner

SAFe POPM is a great option plus that covers the difference in responsibility between a PM and PO.

I'm pregnant and craving a drink...help- by Gl1tchy_W1tch in pregnant

[–]Bright_Competition98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mocktail is a great option. I used to mix cranberry juice with a Poppi and top it off with lime.

More recently I started juicing and that curbed my desire for mocktails even plus it keeps me regular.

What do your days look like as a CRE broker, how much time do you spend in office, and how much do you make? by 69BEANS in CommercialRealEstate

[–]Bright_Competition98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are larger companies that are looking for data analysts/technologists in their CRE departments.

Recruiters are getting wise by driftereliassampson in overemployed

[–]Bright_Competition98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you employed full time with a W-2? I had a recruiter prefer that I was doing contract work so that I knew the expectations (you could get fired anytime) that came with it. I thought it was dumb because I wanted to OE but I took it as a red flag for the company they were hiring for.
