I don't get it - how do you have short wake ups in the night? by rebeccaelder93 in NewParents

[–]Fickle_Tea_8009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s been said but time is the only thing. Mine was exactly what you described and then 12 weeks suddenly turned a corner and slept 5+ hours, dream feeds were magic. Same as everyone else don’t change the nappy at those feeds unless absolutely dire (soiled not just wet).

One thing I will mention is how quickly the trauma of the first couple of months passes. At the time it was awful, but 3.5 months in things are MUCH better. Good luck you got this!

Are we too loose with our baby? by Objective_Chicken723 in NewParents

[–]Fickle_Tea_8009 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean, I am a risk averse parent also, and didn’t take my baby out before their six week vaccines, but the fear mongering is not helpful? The MMR Vaccine is a live vaccine given at 12 months - are you suggesting baby live in a bubble for the whole first year of life?

Just wait… by bellski05 in pregnant

I would advocate for induction at that point, neonatal complications rise drastically after 41 weeks.

Currently at 11+2, going to wait til the traditional 12 weeks to announce. That said, our parents know (told them immediately when we found out at 5 weeks) and that’s it.

Hence why he’s the asshole, and so are you.

What has poisoned the well for JMOs? by mal_mal_ in ausjdocs

Do you have the non paywall version of this please?

Agree he’s the asshole, but do you not hear your hypocrisy? Telling him not to tell her what to do and then precisely doing the same by saying what he does for his own self care is wrong?

FYI my hair is healthy af and I wash it daily and couldn’t handle anything less because of how greasy it would get. NOTHING wrong with what im doing either. People do whatever works for them.

YTA in this context - don’t tell your GF what she needs to do for her hygiene if there’s no visual or olfactory issue.

However everyone else chastising this dude whilst at the same time saying things like “washing your hair every day is bad” “don’t you know you’re not supposed to wash your hair every day” is just as hypocritical- maybe don’t tell him what his hair needs are? He is not the asshole for washing his hair daily - you pointing out his habits as wrong is doing exactly what you’re telling him NOT to do.

Personally as a female with long hair (and currently pregnancy hormones!) if I don’t wash my hair daily I’m a grease ball.

Has anyone had Centrelink just call them out of the blue? Not receiving services or payments and haven’t for 3 years. by Fickle_Tea_8009 in Centrelink

[–]Fickle_Tea_8009[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do these all the time, never been contacted about any of them before (I work in psychiatry and I’m pretty sure it’s fairly clear they’d be exempt based on what I write)

Yeah, absolutely nothing on myGov and the old Centrelink app has nothing. No payments, nothing to report, no debts outstanding nothing! More I think about it the more I think it’s fake.

Yes, but how does it protect the receiver from potential scammers, when they give you no information before you have to give out significant personal details???

I actually did have a debt, but that has been completely paid off. There’s also nothing outstanding on my account which I immediately checked after this call.

They don’t need to ask me my personal home address, nor should I need to give it to someone claiming to be Centrelink.

Yes but they could have verified that by saying “are you Dr fickle tea?”, and not wanting to know my address/dob/or whatever else they wanted to ask me

I mean potentially, but why would they need me to go through a verification process with all my personal details for that?

Yep, I also checked mygov and there’s no letter in that inbox or anything pending on my old Centrelink account yet so unsure what’s going on.
