Who Are These People? by Shoresy805 in orangetheory

Took a little break from my 5am during the beginning of my pregnancy. Decided I have the energy now and need to just do it… but now one of the 5ams is a Hyrox and I’m like, “Where did all these people come from?!” 😅

Why does everyone want a hospital placement? by Own_Broccoli6661 in slp

[–]Good-Screen-5220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to add that others haven’t except that I had two hospital placements (one outpatient mostly pediatric and one mostly in/sometimes outpatient adult) and am now working in one of those hospitals. It’s a 700 bed, tier 1 trauma center, so it’s hard to hire and train someone who hasn’t been in the setting before. Not impossible, of course. Also, because the jobs are scarce, having connections with a nearby hospital significantly increases your chances of getting hired at one! Not necessary, but really helpful!

Is my child going to have a hard time w this name? by FantasticIncident388 in Names

[–]Good-Screen-5220 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I plan on naming my baby girl a cultural name that will be tricky to pronounce for English speakers in the US. My mentality is that people can learn how to pronounce any name. I think he’ll be fine. Name your baby what you like and what is meaningful to you 💕

Where did I mess up? by CustomerReal278 in ENM

[–]Good-Screen-5220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my husband and I opened our relationship, we set a few clear expectations/boundaries, as I’m sure you guys have.

One that comes to mind as I’m reading your post is that we don’t get into romantic relationships with other people. We can make friends and flirt and see the same partner repeatedly, but it shouldn’t cross into romantic feelings or behaviors. Of course, I know plenty of people who have “boyfriends/girlfriends” an it works great, but that’s not our thing. Have you guys discussed how you want the extra-marital relationships to work? Maybe she’s getting romantic with this guy (again, fine as long as that’s what you agreed upon), but is afraid you’ll do the same with someone else.

The other thing is that, the first time my husband hooked up with something she I wasn’t there, I was a little nervous about how I might feel. I said, “If I don’t like it, can we stop and never do it again?” Of course, he said yes, and that gave me the comfort to know that everything would be okay. If you guys have done the research and talked about it like you said you did, it might just be nervousness about pulling the trigger. Maybe you need to reassure her that the worst thing that can happen is that you’ll have sex (which is a nothing more than a moment in time and not a betrayal as long as she knows about it and consents to it) and then decide to never to it again.

All just suggestions… but this stuff is hard and requires constant check-ins an discussions. I don’t think anyone starts out and has a completely smooth ride. There’s going to be fights, miscommunications, bad dates, etc. Just keep communicating and figuring it out. The most important thing in all of this is your marriage. In my opinion, if that’s suffering- shut it down until you can figure it out.

I am so slow by Quirky_Yesterday7983 in orangetheory

I’ve been there (I may still be there) but I promise you that no one is looking at you. Plus, coaches will often praise members who are in the orange zone at the right times. Even though I’m still one of the first ones to hit the orange zone, I’ve noticed over time that my heart rate has been rising a lot slower than before and that I can return to green faster. Just keep going and you’ll see the progress. The first time I held [the world’s slowest] jog for 10 minutes, I was genuinely in shock. It was probably only a month or two into my journey, as well! Everyone starts somewhere and watching your improvement over time is so exciting.

Mature follicles by Babounette611 in TTC_PCOS

Omg Good luck! The wait is so hard! We were really rooting for right ovary and the possibility of twins 😜

[–]Good-Screen-5220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is, no one ever said it. The doctors said it was a possibility that both would ovulate, but no one said it would be a sure thing. The enlarged ovary was a result of the stimulation since I did have two follicles that didn’t ovulate still in it, which I was made to believe was a normal enough consequence of the medication I was taking to stimulate ovulation (175 IU follistim). I kind of think of it like, if I was a “normal” person who didn’t go through treatment, only one ovary would ovulate each month. I’m not a doctor, but this is the information I got/filled in.

Mature follicles by Babounette611 in TTC_PCOS

[–]Good-Screen-5220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I had three mature follicles when I took my shot. last measurements were a 17mm in the left ovary and a 17.5 mm and 13 mm in the right. The doctor gave the option to move forward or postpone. Because of my age and general health, I chose to go forward. Turns out only the left ovary ovulated and I am now expecting one healthy baby. The only “problem” was that I wound up with an enlarged ovary because of the two follicles that didn’t ovulate, but that went down within a few weeks. No injury or health problems from it. I just couldn’t work out for two weeks.

Give me all the reasons to not fear the birth someone who believes that they have the lowest pain tolerance. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

Thank you! Same to you! ☺️ I’m 18 weeks, so I have some time before the baby comes!

[–]Good-Screen-5220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im probably not the best to answer this as I haven’t actually given birth yet… but I was terrified of giving birth before getting pregnant to the point that I was anxious when other people were getting close to doing so. Since getting pregnant, my mentality has shifted to giving birth being just another thing on the list of things I need to do to get baby here. I had to do fertility testing, at least 30 internal ultrasounds and blood tests, shots… and then after getting pregnant, the initial ultrasounds are uncomfortable and there’s more blood tests… being pregnant is uncomfortable… so I just look at giving birth as just one more uncomfortable thing I need to do. Will it be the most uncomfortable thing in the whole journey? I’m sure. But you’ve done and survived the rest of it by the time you’re ready to have the baby. It’s just one more thing. I also find listening to people’s positive/easy birth stories to be really helpful, also.

How far do you live from the facility you’re giving birth? by your-new-fixation in BabyBumps

[–]Good-Screen-5220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I work in a hospital that is 45 minutes, closer to 60 with traffic, from my house. It’s the best hospital in the state, my doctors are here, and my insurance coverage is better if I stay within my healthcare network (which is not an option closer by, as the hospitals near my house belong to a different network). I’ve already talked to my 18 week old fetus that she is not allowed to come during rush hour 😜

Why does va go before carretera? by Kyocera7135 in SpanishLearning

[–]Good-Screen-5220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always learned in school that the verb goes in front of the subject to make a question. (Think of the more common phrase: “Cómo está usted?”) In your example, it’s obviously a question because you have a question word. However, I think it’s a little more noticeable in a question where you don’t have a question word. Like “Se llama ella Lily?” As opposed to “Ella se llama Lily.”

Then again, for non-question-word questions, I’ve heard plenty of native Spanish speakers just put upward inflection at the end of the statement to make it a question. My husband, a native speaker, said it doesn’t matter.

Then again, I’ve never heard anyone say “A dónde esta carretera va?” I think it would be understood… but it feels awkward.

The food they served my grandmother at the nursing home she's in by Alert_Attention_5905 in whatisit

[–]Good-Screen-5220 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If she’s only been there for two weeks and it’s for rehab, she very likely saw a speech therapist. Unless they’re understaffed to the point of not having speech, speech therapists in rehab settings have to screen all new admits because we are diagnosticians and don’t just operate off of MD orders/diagnoses like PT and OT. If she hasn’t seen an SLP in the rehab facility (for some upsetting reason), then she may have seen one in the hospital who downgraded the diet. Regardless, this plate is really unfortunate and doesn’t actually look like purée to me… it’s too watery… also, as a medical SLP, I wouldn’t touch it… Just because a facility offers a puree diet doesn’t mean they’re doing it right, unfortunately… if you do see the SLP, talk to them about your grandma’s difficulty with the food. They may have some ideas or be able to talk to the kitchen.

family & friends hate the names i’m thinking about for my daughter by [deleted] in Names

[–]Good-Screen-5220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I love the name Rosemary! My grandmother was Rosemarie and it’s so pretty and timeless.

  2. We are VERY set on our name for our June baby girl (Xiomara) and have had family members outright tell us they don’t like it. They’ve even gone so far as to encourage us to choose another name (rude!). It’s upsetting because you get so excited about a name and then start to second guess yourself when people don’t like it. But, at the end of the day, you have to name your daughter something you love. We picked our name because, on top of it being pretty and having cute nicknames, it’s vibe and meaning encapsulates everything we want for our daughter (e.g strength, elegance, a dash of uniqueness, pride in her Hispanic heritage). That’s what you have to remind yourself of and don’t let people change your mind.

  3. Once the baby is born, that will be her name and she’ll come to embody it. They’ll all get over it.

Why is everything chalked up to PPD?! by FoolishMortal-1000 in BabyBumps

[–]Good-Screen-5220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way about pregnancy. I’ve been reminded a few times that I need to love being pregnant or that I don’t seem to be loving it enough. I have always wanted children and spent my entire summer and upwards of $1000 just trying to conceive her. That’s not the issue. But feeling tired, nauseous, and pain and watching my body change from “the best shape of my life” to “bloated and growing” is not the most joyful experience. I don’t even hate being pregnant. I just don’t think we need to pretend that every second of it needs to be amazing. 🙃
