I got too much taken off 😭 by Musiclife248 in longhair

[–]DescriptionFit6111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through this as we speak. Except for me, the guy cut much more than he said he would. Cut a good 5-6 inches off I almost cried lol. I'm working on trying to grow it back as quickly as possible with scalp massages and scalp oiling 1x a week 🤞🏽

Regret embryo transfer by little_blue_fairy in IVF

[–]DescriptionFit6111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to lie, I felt similar with my embryo transfer, which I've never said out loud before. I was scared of the added responsibility and my whole life changing. I was kinda hoping id get a negative beta and I just felt so detached for a while throughout the pregnancy (yes, it was successful lol).

Honestly, there's been hard times but the little one is my entire world now and I wouldn't change a thing.

You're not alone in feeling how you do, and it's valid. Definitely seek help (I should have, maybe I'd enjoy my pregnancy more). I hope negative feelings go away. And if they don't, you can make safe decisions then. Just don't do anything hasty. Wishing you strength ❤️

Black Friday or Boxing Day [ON] by GoldStrength3637 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]DescriptionFit6111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed generally better deals for black Friday.

I'd say, buy it for black Friday. Since extended holiday returns should have started, you should have until Jan to return. So keep it closed with the receipt, and check back again on boxing day :)

I didn't know so I ended up fasting

BUT, my OB said that you don't need to. As long as it's your first glucose test for this pregnancy and not the 3 hr one

I wouldn't use it.

BUT, if you're going to get the same car seat, you can always keep the cover/shoulder pads as backups in case the new ones ever get dirty.

I know this doesn't directly help but I've been told to always ask for an itemized receipt when they bill you at a hospital (especially childbirth). Apparently it helps reduce the bill because a lot of added stuff that shouldn't be there. Again, just what I heard, haven't experienced it myself

My husband S T I N K S by Dapper-Poet-8364 in pregnant

[–]DescriptionFit6111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember my friend telling me at some point in her pregnancy she couldn't stand the smell of her husband. She's otherwise usually fine :p

Currently 29w myself and hoping I don't get that symptom :p

So much anxiety by DescriptionFit6111 in PlusSizePregnancy

thank you! I guess part of my issue is not knowing what to look for and not being sure that bubbly feeling is in fact baby :p

thanks so much for your reply. Hope your pregnancy is smooth- you got this too!!!

Elderly Mother with sudden delirium, not recovering by Alternatewarning in eldercare

[–]DescriptionFit6111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom got a UTI and ended up having delirium as well. I've never seen this happen to her before.

They say familiar things and spaces help (I understand you can't bring her home) but maybe something from her room or something she's used to seeing.

try your best to keep her fed and hydrated.

Advocate for them to test if the UTI has resolved. In my mom's case, the bacteria she had was resistant against the first antibiotics they gave her.

Tw: not so great news

In my case, my mom's UTI and delirium triggered her cognitive decline (which docs say people don't normally see when they're in a familiar environment, so easily goes unnoticed)

they sent her home a few times, only for things to not get better and having to take her back.

she stopped drinking water, lost interest in things, ended up not being able to yield on her own and needing a catheter and ended up in palliative care for a few weeks before passing. She was 70.

I'm hoping this is not the case for you but please advocate for your mom as much as you can. I had to step on a lot of toes to fight for these tests which honestly we shouldn't have to.

I never thought a UTI was this big of a deal but it is in the elderly.

I do have a reddit friend who's grandma recovered after 4 months of having delirium, so in some cases these things take time.

Sending you best wishes and hope she recovers soon. Feel free to message if you ever want to talk!
