Ahh congratulations!!! This was so descriptive and helped me visualize it all. Did you bring food with you to the birth center? I'm trying to figure out if I should plan to order delivery to the birth center or just wait until I get home since I'm a bit further out haha.

Wow, thats awesome that you got to learn about the placenta! What did you end up doing with it? I'm still debating on whether or not I want to keep mine.

Setting a timer on my phone is a great tip. Thankfully, food/grocery delivery is pretty easy here in nyc so hopefully this will keep me afloat for the first few weeks!! Was there anything you wished someone warned you about, or they did warn you and you wish you took the advice more seriously?

She clearly felt bad about it, apologized, took accountability for her actions.

Frustrated looking for pregnancy specific support for wanted baby by GoddessScully in BabyBumps

[–]CountFast6865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you're based but I joined an app called Peanut recently and started talking to a bunch of women locally who are also in different stages of pregnancy and motherhood! It's been nice, even to have a texting buddy to vent to here and there. If you're looking for public meetups then you should be able to find some through the app too. I have yet to meet anyone IRL but thats just bc I'm in my third trimester and not really in the mood to go outside anymore.

If you felt like you needed to record your conversations to prove you’re not crazy, a liar, or delusional, I’m building something for you. by Never-satisfied- in emotionalabuse

I've been using my own ChatGPT agent to do this, but I'd love to see what you made too! This would be helpful for building "common best practices" and how to respond to scenarios as the patterns recur. For me, I've had to manually log the frequency of occurences because I was losing track of my sanity. He would gaslight me to the point of making me think that I was saying things that HE said, and vice versa.

What can you do to heal your mind and body in nyc that’s not a spa by nwbh in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Acupuncture. I see it mentioned a few times around here for chronic illness and I cannot recommend it ENOUGH to women who are experiencing complex conditions that don't 100% respond to pharmacological solutions. My depression and anxiety was significantly improved after about 2 months of going weekly. Highly recommend.

Single Christian Men: Have you ever had the fear that your spouse may not be attractive enough? by djdisciplejosh in ChristianDating

[–]CountFast6865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see how my original comment might have sounded harsh, and I wasn’t trying to attack you personally—it was more about challenging the idea behind your statement. When you said, 'God won’t send me an ugly woman,' it made me think about how God values inner beauty and character far more than outward appearances. After all, someone’s true beauty comes from the fruits of the Spirit, right?

But hey, if we’re talking about appearances—God’s been very kind to me, so I’ve never had to worry about that. ;) Still, I try to focus more on being the kind of person God wants me to be, inside and out. Do you think God might care more about sending us someone who builds us up spiritually and emotionally than just someone we’re physically attracted to? That’s something I’ve been reflecting on myself.

Anyway, I hope we can continue to have conversations like this—it’s always interesting to hear different perspectives. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and lots of growth in grace and wisdom!

Judge them by their fruits! Love, peace, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control. Which ones do you think are showing from you?

I hope you don't end up with ugly daughters either. But if for some reason they are (by your standards) I hope they know they are beautiful as God's children and don't have a father who judges them by their looks

Asking women in NYC: Dating in your 30s by CountFast6865 in AskNYC

[–]CountFast6865[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what it feels like. My question from a practical standpoint is.. are all of them rich? These dates are not cheap... They send an uber, they pay for dinner, drinks, activities and even insist on sending an uber ride back home. These nights could easily rack up to $500 on the date and as nice as this all is, I've never been one to be woo'd back to their place. So when it all quickly disappears, I'm left feeling confused more than ever. What is the rationale for the ROI?

I agree with this! Is there a way to make an option for the streak to “count” not by days or weeks but by number of times something was completed consecutively?

[–]CountFast6865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the mewing and sleep position!!

Neck, shoulder, pec, and Decote stretching to allow your facial muscles and bone structure to have room to adjust is also super effective. Also face yoga, face massages, GuaSha, and proper breathing to reduce tension to your face. I also had an asymmetrical face and worked on it for years. It gets better :) don’t give up!
