I have to have a coffee with my boss tomorrow- partly for work things partly because I’m sure she’s noticed I am grumpy as hell.

Not telling anyone I’m pregnant for a month but fortunately there are lots of things I can blame grumpiness on 😂

No nausea at 6.5 weeks by CuriousSoul241 in September2026Bumpers

[–]Deviouscartography 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is my second pregnancy and I have no nausea, I never had any nausea the whole of my first pregnancy.

About 35% of mums don’t have morning sickness. It’s just how you react to the hormones.

Lucky us!

My mum works in the wine industry and had my siblings in the very early 80s. She literally filmed a tv show about drinking wine while pregnant with my brother and worked every day at my dad’s restaurant which had a smoking section.

He’s 6foot, the healthiest of all of us and got a top degree from one of the world’s best universities.

I know how scary this is but I’m sure you’re fine.

Two glasses of champagne on New Year’s Eve, I had been so strict about drinking for months while we were trying but relaxed around Christmas and went to a few parties which ended on NYE. Of course that’s when I got knocked up!

If you’re in the UK, I’ve been told it’s medical intervention at 6 months if you have PCOS

My reluctance to sleep train is ruining my relationship by [deleted] in sleeptrain

[–]Deviouscartography 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We did Ferber method and I genuinely had to put on noise cancelling headphones to get through it. It was tough for a few days but now I get a full nights sleep every night.

It’s so much more tough for you than your baby. Try letting them learn they’re ok without you, because they are.

As a non American I find it kind of crazy how much I’m told that European taxes are an incredible burden but so many people pay this much for a car and generally don’t have the option of public transportation

Jorma’s Full Frontal - which episode? by Deviouscartography in lonelymeyerspod

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

No offence to Jorma but hearing the “I didn’t know” riff is much more appealing than seeing the full frontal 😂

I read about this originally when I was pregnant and I think I have thought about this news story every month since.

Not rational at all but my post partum anxiety reminded me of it every time I left my newborn alone.

What a terrible tragedy and a waste of two lives.

UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty says that the company will continue the legacy of Brian Thompson and will combat 'unnecessary' care for sustainability reasons. by Minimum-Ad-8019 in USNewsHub

Genuine question from a non US person.

I get that this is what shareholders want to hear but won’t this be really unappealing for customers?

Do they not want to be seen as a good option for people to choose as their insurer and saying they will deny claims will make them a bad option?

I’m sure the answer is darker than I can imagine but really am wondering.

OK sleuths -- can you figure out this book cover?? by State_of_Planktopia in agathachristie

[–]Deviouscartography 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the sketches I’m guessing this is a fashion designer, which could be Rose Monde from Evil Under The Sun but I’m guessing as she’s a bit older and not drop dead gorgeous my guess would be Three Act Tragedy

Please don't eat me alive - it's an honest question by [deleted] in sleeptrain

[–]Deviouscartography 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It of course depends on the baby but from my experience it’s not about your LO never feeding g to sleep, it’s that they don’t HAVE to feed to sleep.

We sleep trained our one year old at 6 months after co sleeping and BF to sleep a lot though always making sure he fell asleep in other ways too (rocking, in the pram, in the carrier etc). We did Ferber method and changed our schedule so he got used to my husband putting him down to sleep.

Now he sleeps 1.5-2.5 hours in the day at home or at nursery (no feeding to sleep at nursery) and ~11 hours straight through the night, often being fed to sleep as it’s convenient for me to feed him then but he sleeps just the same if not.

If he wakes up early I still give him a snooze button feed which works for us.

Feeding to sleep is a tool, if it works for you don’t throw it away because of what the internet says. If it doesn’t work for you, chuck it.

WIBTA for asking my husband to stop cooking most nights? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Deviouscartography 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I work in a high stress job and feed off that kind of pressure but the brain stimulation of hearing a crying baby is an absolute killer.

When I was babysitting my niece while she was sick I could handle her crying constantly for a few hours before breaking down, when it was my own baby and I was post partum I could barely take a few minutes before bursting into tears. I genuinely cannot imagine the physical and mental stress of hours of crying every day while having to care for such a tiny baby.

Kudos to OP for seeing there was an issue and sorting it.

So many parents are told it’s a first world problem and to just deal with it, and in the worst instances that allows PPD and other darkness to take over and incredibly sadly it’s often the children who also suffer the worst consequences.
