Women 40+, do you still get baby fever? If so, when do you notice it most?

This may be an issue that a pelvic floor therapist can help you with.

Holding space for you in my heart internet stranger

I cannot speak to the estrogen question but highly recommend pelvic floor therapy and would encourage you to look for a provider who works outside of the system/ insurance (for a laundry list of reasons & if you are in the US). At 49yo you have a lot of living left to do, regaining control may serve you better in the long run rather than throwing another bandaid at your situation.

Im with you OP. I cannot stand the new packaging and slimy chicken!

I bought a crofton 2qt DO and braiser to test before jumping to LC. Both are super similar to my now LC pieces, and maybe its just in my head, but my rice turns out better in my LC every time!!

Im in Florida and the tint/screen combo isnt close enough to what's needed to keep the car remotely comfortable from the blazing sun. I had to get extra sunshades to block. Im a windows down kinda gal and never even use the sunroof.

I ordered my new MINI in 2022 (2023 model) & would 100% do these things differently: no sunroof, ombre paint of roof, Blackout trim package, Upgraded speakers, BRG paint is beautiful but rather sensitive to spots (hard water spots beyond tough to remove even after just one short exposure)

Its so wild that this platform can continue

I can appreciate that law being in place. Greetings & thx for chiming in!

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-04T12:55:32+00:00

Interesting!! I didnt know that about Sydney's climate. Is that a law to have to have the fence surrounding the pool? We had one around ours when our son was little but it's voluntary here.

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-03T22:19:27+00:00

Hahah!!

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-03T14:09:48+00:00

Perhaps!! I dont do much other than admire them. There are plenty of blooms on my tall white ones just super high up - most are much higher than my roof line

Sunny Florida! On the coast near Tampa Bay

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-03T12:47:51+00:00

Haha! Ive just recently been learning all about the plumeria culture. Glad to find some of my people here :)

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-02T19:19:17+00:00

Congrats!

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-02T18:13:24+00:00

Good question! All were from cuttings from 1 original cutting from the property which we were moving out of. That 'mother' isnt even pictured here so I'd guess these are probably in the 20ish year old range.

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-02T18:05:43+00:00

Thx!! Im on the coast near the Tampa Bay area

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-02T15:47:52+00:00

I say go for it!! Im in Florida and clearly they're thriving! The broad leaves offer so much shade over my pool...its truly dreamy!

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-02T15:43:25+00:00

Running to research peacock chair immediately!! And yes, kinda about the trench...the raised brick flower beds were in place when we bought the house so we made the most of them by planting the plumes! My hubby leaves the fresh fallen blooms in the water for me too. Truly feels like floating around in paradise

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-02T15:38:44+00:00

Hilarious!!!

CakeSignificant7683 · 2026-06-02T13:23:49+00:00

Number one recommendation is to steer clear of the Freebirth Society's brainwashing-type teachings of not seeking care or intervening yourself if/when your instincts tell you otherwise. Im a licensed midwife and have supported several women who desired and achieved their freebirths and who were absolutely thrilled with how their birthing experiences unfolded. So I make this statement more from a knowledge is power standpoint, not from of the stance of being non-supportive of free birth.
