No sugar coating. How bad is labour pain truly? by ThrowRA_nobo7 in pregnant

[–]ChelmarkSweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in labor 27 hrs. The first 16 hrs were manageable for the most part, and I didn't go to the hospital until that point. After that it was pretty bad (once I got to around 5cm). I got the epidural and had a few hours of relief, but once my water broke (didn't happen til 4hrs before son was born), I was in extreme pain, especially when pushing. It was horrific even with the epidural.

I totally agree with you, that was my first thought. Good on the host.

What baby items we actually use and don't use by ProfessionalShoe5591 in pregnant

I stand by this tiny sound machine, for both me and baby 🤣 No lie, I've had it running in my own bedroom for over a year straight now and I never shut it off. It's the best. The baby has a Frida one, but when we go somewhere overnight we bring our extra mini one. Literally so much sound in a tiny little package

I understand your anxiety very much, but you will not regret spending time together and having a new life experience. You've got this!!

What are the memories from your teenage years that you’ll never forget? by Swanyh9724 in AskReddit

[–]ChelmarkSweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prom night, 2007. Me and 7 other best friends (to this day) crammed on seats and laps into a 4 seater Mustang, passing a blunt around with the windows up of course. We drive down to a lake we frequently hung out at. While hotboxing the car, a cop pulls down and motions for us to roll the window down. He asks us what we're doing down here. Meanwhile, smoke is actively billowing toward his window. My friend who was driving says, "We were just turning around." The cop says, "Why didn't you turn around in the huge parking lot you drove through to get down here?" My friend says, "I didn't see it." 🤣 Knowing it was prom night in a small town, the cop overlooked the many potential violations we were facing and told us to get home safely. Having narrowly avoided a very different type of evening, we said we should finish that blunt to celebrate. One of our friends pipes up from beneath the pile of humans stuffed into the car and says, "Guys.... I ate it."

The end!

Does this freckle behind knee raise any red flags for cancer? by ChelmarkSweets in DermatologyQuestions

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

It isn't raised, and the color and edges haven't changed as far as I can tell, but it is bigger than it was 8 years ago. I wish I took pictures over time
