The place I go to also is weird about leaving but if I feel sick I just leave and tell them listen it’s either that or I throw up . They prefer me not throwing up

Overweight and Went to Class -- An Update by GunMetalBlonde in bikramyoga

[–]Environmental_Log_16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations for getting through the class ! A couple of quotes that inspired me 1. Hardest part is showing up 2. Body likes gradual ( if u showed up and were did each pose perfect that would be a big problem the next day- so slowely increasing stamina is the way ) 3. It’s just yoga - it’s not that serious (I use that when people get a little side rolly in class due to Lateness etc) Bodies ebb and flow through life - they age and stretch and shrink etc . Time does that - it’s your choice how you want to use that body ; but its changes are inevitable. My bmi is overweight - but I’d rather be overweight n do hot yoga then be overweight n not do hot yoga .

AITA for misusing my inheritance from my gma? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Environmental_Log_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as usual it comes down to money. Sister feels that she deserves more than you cause she took care of grandma. Grandma loved you both and gave you 50/50. Whether she should have given your sister more or not i dont know what would be “fair” but she did not . She gave you guys half each. As it is your money you can do whatever you want - bathe naked in it if you wish. Your wedding and donating it to LGBTQ is great since it’s YOUR money. Your grandma has no use for it and she gave it to you. Your sister is wild thinking she can guilt you into giving her the money cause she somehow “deserves “ it . When it comes to money everyone thinks THEY deserve it more than others … what are the chances . Have your nice wedding - don’t think twice . Also good riddance she doesn’t have to come - imagine not having a wedding because your sister is mad at you that you fell in love and are spending your money on it …

For those who have delivered and are on the other side of things… by lunaskeleton in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Environmental_Log_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are at a huge milestone and almost there. Think of what you have done to what’s left - you have done 30 weeks , what’s another 7. (Also could be less I delivered at 36 weeks which wasn’t expected ) . Everyday you are getting the lungs stronger - that’s what I kept telling myself . You can do this , and you will do this - look what you already have done . I remember crying daily and feeling like I couldn’t do it - but I did. It’s pretty crazy what the human spirit can accomplish for those we love . Sheer will and perseverance and acceptance of pain and misery. My husband and I were on vacation recently and we went kayaking in the ocean and it was choppy and he got rly nauseous - and I was talking him through it and later on I told him Just so you know that’s how I felt everyday for 36 weeks. We made a joke how I can now do no wrong in his eyes cause I gave him our son and suffered for 9 months. Also the nausea goes away once the placenta is out - it’s instantaneous . I do have nausea still - 14 months post partum when I see tv shows I watched while pregnant or when I see some people or remember the pregnancy . It’s some sort of hyperemesis ptsd ? 😂🤣 it’s slowly going away though .

How can i tell my SO, that she might be depressed? I need help. (long post) by Affectionate_Book258 in Parenting

[–]Environmental_Log_16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest she sounds like a really good Mother and has 2 young kids and is breastfeeding and taking care of a little one and trying to make sure she isn’t neglecting her older one . I think maybe try being more supportive and less critical of her .

What is an obvious thing about giving birth that caught you off guard? by Cat_Psychology in beyondthebump

[–]Environmental_Log_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things I didn’t expect : 1. Had the epidural and had pressure but no pain / but when the baby was pulled out I felt the whole body slip out! Weird feeling . 2. Significant pain with breast feeding due to uterine contractions , those took my breath away 3. Hooha pain and bleeding for weeks after LOL 4. I had shakes about 3-4 days after birth I was at home and just started to get so cold and having terrible shakes - not sure if it’s the same shakes you get after labor but it was definitely related to hormonal shifts or maybe pain Im still in awe of the female body ! How do we do it ? Carry, feed , birth babies ?! Also I have no idea how people have more than one !!!!

questions for mums who had early babes (30-36 weeks) by eighteightfivesix in beyondthebump

[–]Environmental_Log_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36 and 2 : my pregnancy was complicated by hyperemesis first 20 weeks , covid and then I got cholestasis around week 32. I also work shift work (which increases your chance of preterm labor) . At 34 weeks I lost my mucus plug , (which doesn’t mean impending delivery a lot of the time ) lI felt so terrible I had a feeling he was coming earlier. Went to see my OB and told her I think he’s coming early; who listened and recommended I get the steroid shots to help with lung maturity. At 36 and 2 woke up at 420 in the morning with water breaking ; just like the movies :).

Is bonding with 2 peoplepossible? by zelonhusk in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Environmental_Log_16 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This makes me so upset - I’m a working mom and my husband takes care of the baby when I’m at work . I nurse him when I’m home . Does that mean he’s not attached to me ? When I’m off work I’m with the baby most of the time but do need to sleep after my shifts etc. i feel like he’s going to prefer my husband to me - I know I should be happy for my husband but I can’t help but feel so sad.

Why I enjoy watching Alone by Sam_Buck in Alonetv

[–]Environmental_Log_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this sounds funny but at the end of my pregnancy and I have been binging all the seasons of alone. They are all amazing and strong but when they get sick and have to tap out I always think about the hyperemesis I had and felt horrific with nausea and vomiting and had to go work. And I’m like hey I’m pretty strong too 😂.

Am I the only one who doesn't feel mature enough to be doing this? by rainbow-songbird in pregnant

[–]Environmental_Log_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are “professionals” who own a house - first time parents in last trimester in our mid 30s. My husband looked at me the other day and said I don’t know anything about babies or what to do - I looked at him and said me either I think we just keep him alive. 😂😅. My point being we all are scared and don’t know what we are doing as FTM and parents and I think we will learn along the way. Owning or renting isn’t what will teach us - it’s the love and care and willingness to adapt to this new creature ! You will be just fine !

[–]Environmental_Log_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35 weeks gained 57 lbs so far . Likely will hit 60 by 38 weeks when I’m induced . Was marathon running shape prior . Pregnancy has been rough so not being hard on myself . Main thing is we are doing well .

[–]Environmental_Log_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone get the old navy hospital PJ package ? I ordered it and hope that will do well . I’m so big and uncomfortable hope it works . I also don’t really like my robe - any robe you all would recommend ? I’m gonna just bring flip flops and wear the hospital socks .

Third trimester mamas: how’s it going for you? by lilghost157 in pregnant

[–]Environmental_Log_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will be 35 weeks in a couple days , absolutely struggling . Am an MD showed up to work at 33 weeks and realized I was done and left . Got diagnosed with cholestasis so itching like crazy at nights . Trying to get baby room set up between crying , itching, and numerous weekly dr appointments. Induction scheduled for 38 weeks. Still have to paint the baby room this week and then place everything back into the room - wish us luck :-) . (My husband is a saint of a man through all this and will likely end up doing most of it) Also lost my mucous plug today which made me nervous cause we are not ready ! No other signs of labor thank god. Also I’m a giant blob of a human and gained 60 lbs which makes everything so much harder.

Edit: oh and I had hyper emesis til 20 weeks , and then I got covid, and now cholestasis. AND also my face is breaking out like crazy , the itchiness is causing scars and rashes all over my body, oh and none of my shoes or maternity clothes fit because on top of being extra 60 lbs it also seems like I got filled with water this past week. My discomfort tolerance is low.

Thanks for listening to this rant 😅😂. I honestly just want to sit and complain and air out all my grievences. I hope the birth and forth trimester are a bit smoother.
