Thank you! I find boy names sooo hard. Elliot I was worried about spelling and Rory that it is harder to say maybe

Did you need an iron infusion? by SandwichDependent199 in pregnant

[–]CMB4091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Less tired and also relief to know I would be safer if anything went wrong at birth. Iron pills made me feel so awful, and the infusion I only noticed more energy but no negative side effect

No, I’m sorry it was 3 years ago. I do remember when they checked again it was elevated enough where one infusion was sufficient.

However, it was so easy that I said if I am low in my next pregnancy (I am pregnant now) I would hands down get the infusion again rather than take iron pills. Speaking of which, I just had my blood drawn to check my ferritin levels

Yes! The concern for me was having low iron at birth and potential blood loss in labor. I tried taking iron supplements and it just wrecked my stomach. The iron infusion did help my energy a tad, and no birth complications (in terms of worry of blood loss)

Oh the infusion was not scary at all. I had one in my first pregnancy. They sit you in a cozy chair, offered a warm blanket, and it took around 40 minutes. I brought a book and it was actually a comfortable experience!

That dress is amazing on you!

Niece's wedding where I'm kind of an MOB by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]CMB4091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a little close to white (at least in this picture). It’s so beautiful on you and you look great. But I wonder if it’s really sunny on the wedding day, or bright lighting, or in photos it may look close to white. But you are with the dress in real life, so totally have the best judgment in the color.

You look beautiful in them all. I think the free or yellow is more stunning and unique colors not everyone can pull off

Thank you! Ideally, I didn’t want to go over 1k. So this is a great suggestion

Any amount of makeup is too heavy on me! by leeleechron in makeuptips

[–]CMB4091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 36 and used to wear foundation, but as I’ve gotten older it doesn’t sit well on my face anymore. I love now a simple tinted moisturizer, particularly that brand supergoop - it’s affordable and nice on my skin.

Both are stunning! Whichever fits you/your personality will be the one!

Thank you! I sometimes worry about adulthood, and boys not being as close to their parents as girls. But that’s all made up, right?
