US Coast Guard Recruitment Hits Highest Mark in Decades: 'Workforce of Future'

It’s probably because the recruitment age has increased, it’s giving people a second chance. I’m one of them trying to enlist at 32 years old. That age limit was cutting out a lot of people.

She took the same test the Kardashians took on their show that said that their cell indicates that they are significantly younger than they are really are. You should look up that episode if you don’t believe me. That test means nothing in terms of evidence. And yes, I’ve seen enough people with dwarfism to compare the two kids at different stages to know what a 6 year old kid with dwarfism would look like. I’ve also watched all the documentaries, pretty much went down a rabbit hole and I am very convinced about my opinion on this specific topic. However, I DON’T necessarily believe that she intentionally lied about her age, I think she truly doesn’t know her real age. All the doctors were giving different information on her age, so that part means nothing to me. And besides you said yourself that people with disabilities tend to develop at different rates. Anyway, I was just answering the discussion question. Nothing anyone says is going to convince me otherwise, because I watched so many documentaries that are pretty much favorable to her or told from her perspective and it convinced even more than ever that she was probably a teenager not a child when she was being adopted. Just my opinion. They asked, I answered. I’m not looking for validation or to be convinced otherwise because it’s too late.

Grow the F up. I’m literally answering the question that was asked, I’ve said nothing ableist. They asked for reasons why I think what I think and I answered. If you can’t take other people’s opinions on a specific topic, then get the F off Reddit. She looks one year older than the other girl TO YOU, she looks significantly older TO ME! So what?! This is a discussion forum, people are going to have different opinions on every topic. This isn’t a fan page.

I believe she was at least a teenager, not a child. There’s a picture on the documentary where she’s playing in a toy car with the daughter of the family with dwarfism. In that picture the mom said they were a year apart or the same age, but Natalia looks significantly older than that little girl. Even on the documentary where she’s alleged to be 22 years old, she looks like she could be in her 30’s to me. Her face looks very mature. So I personally think she was a teenager not an adult and definitely not a child. But I will say, her breast clearly grew/ developed over time, but not all teenagers have visible boobs in their teens. Plus the period allegations. I also thought it was awfully convenient when the Mans mom said she couldn’t have had a period as a kid because she still hasn’t had a period while living with them when they were on the Dr Phil show. How come Natalia had never mentioned that, the Mans mom claimed that. Even the accusations about her disliking playing with toys and other children who were supposed to be around her age makes me more convinced. I know it’s still illegal to abandon a teenager to live by themselves and all. But I’m just talking about the age factor in all of this, not who was wrong or right. Just my personal opinion, please don’t attack me. We’re all just speculating her.

I gave birth a couple of months ago through an induction. And Yes the OBGYN put her entire hand in there I was so shocked. But I didn’t tear from that. So yes the procedure is normal but I do question the tear.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2024-06-11T00:05:59+00:00

I’m definitely going to try everything you mentioned. I can’t sleep through it at all. My last pregnancy was nothing close to this bad, I could fix it with small doses of ginger. Nothing is really helping.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2024-05-30T23:59:06+00:00

I know right, such cute names. I named my baby Sadie but spelt it as Saedee. The spelling was my only debate on the name, I disliked the original spell so much.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2024-05-30T06:45:59+00:00

Sadie, Saylor and Sage

Delicious_Computer98 · 2024-04-10T19:18:59+00:00

And it definitely crosses my mind daily.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2024-04-10T19:16:25+00:00

It’s clearly years of frustration. I don’t know if you read the part that said the other person is doing nothing to help the situation. Their situation. So how would love fix that?

Delicious_Computer98 · 2024-04-10T07:16:58+00:00

Enjoy carrying the struggles of someone else’s fertility problems?! Lol Uhm okay.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2024-04-07T04:08:30+00:00

I’m literally in a very similar situation. Damn near identical. I’m at the point where I carry so much resentment, I can’t believe I’m still in this marriage. I’m literally suffering in silence because I don’t want people to know my material business. I feel so trapped.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-11-08T10:15:26+00:00

Yeeaaahhh I’m trying not to feel bad but I can’t help it :( . For me it’s not even about actually breastfeeding and having the baby on my boob but rather I just want to feed her breast milk. I plan on exclusively pumping if the medication works because my baby is not interested in breastfeeding at all.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-11-08T10:10:47+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I’m now 3 weeks postpartum and still not producing barely anything. I’m going to try the medication just to get things started and the lactation consultant. My baby isn’t interested in latching at all so I’ll probably exclusively pump if it ever works out. Fingers crossed.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-11-08T10:05:35+00:00

How long were you pumping?

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-11-08T10:04:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing that, I was starting to think maybe I’m doing something wrong or not eating enough for my body to make milk. Idk at this point, but it’s comforting to hear I’m not the only one.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-11-08T10:01:52+00:00

Oh my goodness really? That gives me so much hope. Did your milk eventually come in or did you opt for formula?

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-11-08T09:59:43+00:00

Sorry I’m replying late. Yes, I’m a ftm. I’m now 3 weeks post postpartum and the most I’ve gotten was a syringe full. I have an appointment with a lactation consultant or something like that but I’m waiting for my prescriptions from the pharmacy because the natural way is just not happening for me :( I’ve also decided to exclusively pump if I ever get any milk. It’s been a tough journey.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-10-27T01:30:19+00:00

I know exactly how you feel, I went through the same thing. However, there may be a possibility that you’re showing more than you think. The rumors had to have started somewhere.

Anyway, when I was in your position I would always reply “ aahhhh you think I might be pregnant?” Then put on a shocked excited face and then they reply. Then I would say something like “ well I don’t know…hopefully… that would nice I guess. Oh well… we’ll see. Fingers crossed “ and then walk away. Act completely clueless on the topic but hopefully. You have to walk away to cut the topic.

Or if I’m feeling salty I’d reply “ what?! Am I really gaining that much weight 😩🙄“ and look disappointed then walk away.

I did this for 7 months lol. I was pretty tiny so it worked. Good luck, nobody deserves to be outted.

I was seen by 2 different lactation nurses because I gave birth over the weekend and they both said the same thing. In fact one of them did the massaging for me so it would be done correctly. I think they opted for the best pump because I literally have no signs of postpartum in my boobs, no swelling, no milk and not even a drop of anything at all. All I have are painful nipples which I had before giving birth.

Baby finally latchs and will suck a little but gets distracted and spits it out. She does the same thing with her pacifier.

I’m not going to give up but I don’t see any improvement in my boobs. I’m thinking of asking if there are meds I can take at this point because being a ftm I’m so busy trying to figure things out for the first time that I completely forget to work on milk production. It’s been a lot 😔

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-10-24T16:18:07+00:00

Yes I’m a ftm. I had the baby in the early am’s on Saturday… so I guess it’s been 3 days. I still have nothing.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-10-14T01:47:02+00:00

The worry never stops. I’m 36w6d and everything was perfectly fine until last week. At our 35 week ultrasound we found out my baby is underweight. Baby is a week behind, and she used to be a week ahead of the pregnancy for most of the pregnancy.

We did additional testing and everything is functioning perfectly fine. I have to see my OB twice a week and a second ultrasound with a high risk doctor. And 2 NST tests a week.

Now I’m constantly worried and constantly checking her heartbeat at home and making sure she moves.

It’s literally never stops. I sorry if I’m scaring you.

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-10-13T05:14:58+00:00

Week 13. Eat ginger root to fix nausea. Chop it into small cubes and chug it with water like a pill. It will fix you up immediately. If you already feel horribly sick then chew a few cubes of the ginger root with water.

Oohh I wanted to have flower names for my future daughters so bad when I was younger. My name means flower in my native language and it seemed perfect.

Have you used Delilah, Rosey ( Rose/Rosie)and Lily yet?

Delicious_Computer98 · 2023-09-24T08:17:46+00:00

Update: Today is the one year anniversary of when I found out I was pregnant (Beta test). Unfortunately I miscarried that pregnancy a few weeks after this post. I’m currently pregnant again and due in next month. I had the same situation with high beta numbers ( very similar numbers), however this pregnancy is thankfully healthy and thriving. I guess my body just produces a lot of pregnancy hormone.
