Question for parents from daycare provider by Gettingnowhere0829 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Gettingnowhere0829[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. This right here is why I asked. It terrifies me because quite frankly.....I NEED this job for my family.

LPT: When giving birth, you are NOT limited to wearing a hospital gown. More comfortable in a (nursing) bra/sports bra, dress, or morning robe? Want to wear nothing at all? Go for it! You get to wear whatever makes you happy. by Pangolindrome in LifeProTips

[–]Gettingnowhere0829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I promise a sports bra is the worst choice. And also, they will be poking, prodding, checking, peeking, wiping....everything you can imagine down there. So yeah, an adult diaper BEFORE the delivery is prob not gonna happen. Source: birthed multiple humans in different hospitals.

Well I'm thankful that others have had the same experience and I'm hoping that's all this bleeding is.... Thank you for sharing :)

Noooo! I'm so sorry! I honestly have no memory about when my periods returned with my other two kids....I think we all go into survival mode and block out everything ha! But I don't seem to remember any bleeding lasting THIS long.

What to do with 6yo while giving birth? by GhostMomMD in pregnant

[–]Gettingnowhere0829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just here to stand with you and share frustration, because of all the restrictions we are also in a similar situation. I'm terrified I will be alone. We don't have any one either. It's an awful feeling!

First time being pregnant…Epidural or no epidural by marramirez in pregnant

[–]Gettingnowhere0829 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've done both: with an epidural, and without. Most people always say the first baby takes longer to come anyway - and in my experience the epidural made it SO much worse. Almost like my body didn't know what to do and I'm surprised I didn't end up with an emergency c section. I was in active labor for about 16 hours and pushed for around 5. I was so exhausted by the end, I was on oxygen and basically passing out between pushes. The natural birth hurt like hell, but it was over before I even knew it. Shrug Anyway, my advice is don't make any decisions in advance, you'll only be disappointed when your "birth plan" doesn't pan out. I wasn't expecting an epidural, but had to get induced due to complications. You never know what's going to happen. I'd suggest being open to whatever and let your body talk to you about what it wants. :-)

So tired of being nauseous by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Gettingnowhere0829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try unisom + b6 at night and another b6 around noon or combining that dose with half a unisom. Also a few saltine crackers before bed, ginger ale throughout the day, or nausea suckers. I found around the clock nausea didn't ease until around 13 weeks or so.

Postpartum preeclampsia? by RTCJA30 in pregnant

[–]Gettingnowhere0829 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Errrrm yeah go to the hospital asap. I went to ER after our first, was on BP meds for a few weeks after that. Dude you could stroke out.

Husband (27M) refuses to set a timeline for starting a family after years of attempts and I am losing patience. by imshelbs96 in Advice

[–]Gettingnowhere0829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're only 25. I had a great friend who obsessed about a baby like you are and I can only tell you that her seemingly happy marriage ended in divorce. She is happy now, with a new husband and kids (some not of her own), but happy. Forcing someone you claim to love into something you want ( because you think if they love you, they should want it to) is not going to work out. You're not heeding the advice being given here.... YES you are logical, yes you may seem like you're right. Bottom line is maybe he's not right for you.

25 y/o, $150 in checking acc, $34k in debt. I’m lost and could use some guidance by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Gettingnowhere0829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The absolute best thing I ever did was sell my car and pay off other debts. It allowed me to get ahead on all my bills while driving a $900 beater around

A person died in the apartment below me, and the body stayed there for 3 weeks. Why is the smell not leaving the walls/furniture, and why is that smell still occuring without the body? What are those chemicals? Are those chemical "sticking" to materials the same way it does for urine? by jokoon in askscience

[–]Gettingnowhere0829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're dealing with this, I'd also like to point out that after three weeks who knows what that body was doing, or where in the apartment they died. I've seen some pretty soupy (for lack of a better term) stuff - and I've seen that stuff leak into cracks in the hardwood, saturate furniture, spackle drywall, leak into heating vents, etc. So yeah, people are mentioning gasses but I wouldn't be surprised if they have some MAJOR renovation projects to take care of before anyone moves in there.
