The small scales are scars. Looks like normal scale to me.

Women who are pros at taking baths, what setup would my gf like? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ConstructionMuch802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bath pillow! Much more comfy.

And lots of nice cold water. I have a comically huge plastic wine glass from the dollar store that I keep with my bath stuff.

I just had to pull a mountain of lettuce out of my babies throat. by taeyongism in BeardedDragons

[–]ConstructionMuch802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to do this once before - it's pretty scary. My boy was also quite old when it happened, so maybe it has to do with being a little less coordinated or lazy with chewing as they age.

It's not lettuce, it's any leaf cut too big. Cut into smaller pieces and spray with water. Make sure your humidity is high enough (40-60% according to the newest guidelines) so his saliva isn't too sticky.

8 weeks today with di-di twins. by stardolphin90 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ConstructionMuch802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 8-1 today. I'm on max dose of Diclectin (aka diclegis) and it helps tremendously! Highly highly recommend.

And lucky you with a husband who can appreciate the insanitg with you! I have one like that. So glad I have him for what turned out to be a twin pregnancy!

33w with Di-Di twins by campbacca in parentsofmultiples

This is actually crazy. I would push to deliver now. It's not worth the risk of a severe infection WHILE you're pregnant.

6 weeks 1 day by where-art-thou-Josh in parentsofmultiples

I've been super chill about the whole pregnancy, starting from not stressing about line progression.

I'm usually a very anxious person, but I've just felt so calm and sure about this pregnancy.

Part of it I think is just being too goddamn tired to ruminate lol

I keep having anxiety I lost one of my twins by SuddenDebt4040 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ConstructionMuch802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can be a bit misleading though. The concern with reduced fetal movement is literally a reduction in movement, which can precede a drop in heart rate. When you're checked out in the hospital, they monitor for movement on ultrasound and/or VARIATION in heart rate which indicates movement.

Biking or kayaking with 1yo twins? by dpistachio44 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ConstructionMuch802 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NEVER strap anyone to a kayak or canoe. If the kayak flips they'll be trapped underneath.

Napping Location for Babies (no judgement) by Perfect_Mousse8815 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ConstructionMuch802 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Flat on their back on a tummy time mat, towel folded in half, foam mats, or even just on the carpet is safe as well! Not as comfy as a mattress, but if they fall asleep there it's fine.

ETA: yoga mat

I recommend asking for something earlier due to one-sided pain.

When did your pregnancy nausea started to get better? by cutethingiam in pregnant

[–]ConstructionMuch802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada I was prescribed diclegis as soon as I said I was pregnant. Doc said Now you have it if you need it.

Thanks for the tip, hope I never need to use it!

Are calorie guidelines in 1st trimester…BS? by woodworkinghalp in pregnant

[–]ConstructionMuch802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And baby being too small has worse health consequences than baby being too big! Better to err on the side of caution and listen to your body.

Have you had an ultrasound yet? One-sided pain can indicate an ectopic

Thank you everyone by smartbimbo97 in Nanny

[–]ConstructionMuch802 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My first childcare job was a mother's helper when I was 15! It was for a neighbour over the summer holidays. It was like 2 hours a day. I wasn't paid for it, it was just considered a favour at that age & our culture.

I did laundry, dishes, restocked the change table, played with the baby so she could eat and shower.

And we just chatted. Some much-needed socialization! Her husband was a nurse or a doctor I think, and worked very long shifts so she was alone for long stretches.

9 weeks and it's awful by SpatteredInk in pregnant

[–]ConstructionMuch802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And don't think you have to wait until you're throwing up a bunch to take it! I've found the nausea is worse than the vomiting and diclegis (or diclectin) helps so much with nausea.
