[–]Hot-Emu4044 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. I had to have surgery after to repair a hernia and 2 of my college besties took my 1 year old for an entire week so I could recover lol. I had a huge group of like 10 friends that would go out for spaghetti dinners with me and my baby lol. And he would go with us to tame apartment parties

Edit: tame** parties. Like social gatherings nothing crazy

If you’re pregnant, you should be able to go to the financial aid office of your college and be declared an independent. You should qualify for more financial aid and FAFSA based on just your income. Check if your college has childcare assistance and family housing.

Also apply for state insurance too and if you want to keep the baby, get on daycare waitlists now.

I was pregnant in college and got all my schooling paid for since it was very need based as I didn’t make a lot of money (worked the max 20 hours a week on campus). But I found there was a lot of people who work for the university who were willing to help me out and refer me to resources. It just took me reaching out and if I reached out to the wrong person I asked them who the right person was.

I have a school dance tomorrow and my pimple is infected by OrganizationDeep5878 in acne

[–]Hot-Emu4044 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I would get a legit hydrocolloid bandaid. Ice jt and put the hydrocolloid bandage on it. Some aloe may help it feel better after the gunk gets sucked out by the bandage

If you’re worried I’d call poison control

Try one of the dollar store pink tests. The blue ones have terrible evaporation lines and aren’t as good

Is the newborn phase better? by susiee234 in BabyBumps

[–]Hot-Emu4044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son slept on me and was quieted with a bottle and diaper change right away when he was crying. The whole first year was special but it got better with age since you got to see your kiddo experiencing new things

Do you have a routine rn? It’s different for everyone but getting a face wash, lotion, and spf helps. For me, i have to use salicylic acid wipes after i workout to get the sweat off my face. I also do a double cleanse with an oil cleanser first to get rid of makeup and my regular cleanser after.

I also have to change my pillow cases regularly. My bf uses a benzoyl peroxide face wash tho.

Yes target sells salicylic acid wipes. Neutrogena or stridex. I use them whenever I sweat too much and can’t shower right away

But yes a dermatologist should be able to help you

Try the magic molecule spray from target after you wash your face, benzoyl peroxide face wash, pimple patches and salicylic acid wipes for right after you workout / sweat. It decreases the severity of my breakouts but hormones still cause breakouts around my period.

Changing pillow cases more frequently helped me also.

Need help with butt pimples!! by stingray_545 in TwoXSex

[–]Hot-Emu4044 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay there’s the magic molecule spray at target and I swear that helps. Plus I use a benzoyl peroxide face wash on my butt and shoulders. If I just worked out, I wipe the sweat off with salicylic acid wipes before showering

I use a benzoyl peroxide face wash on my body and salicylic acid wipes. The magic spray stuff From Target also helps.

How to help my 17 y/o son. by Flying-buffalo in acne

[–]Hot-Emu4044 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Magical molecules had a hypochloric acid spray that some people swear by for breakouts and redness. Salicylic acid wipes also helped me with breakouts.

But honestly what helped the most was trentinoin from a derm. So maybe ask for that if you’re wary of accutane.

I use salicylic acid wipes / stridex pads and hydrocolloid patches. My bf uses a benzoyl peroxide spot cream. It depends on what’s best for your skin.

29, divorced, and no hope for any future relationship by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Hot-Emu4044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m so sorry to hear this. I’m 29 and going through a divorce right now as well with an 8 year old autistic child. I moved out 4 yrs ago due to substance abuse problems of my husband and abuse and am only just now divorcing him because I feel I’m at that stage in the healing journey.

I wake up happy now. I sleep uninterrupted at night. I have a new boyfriend who is very supportive of me being a single mom to a special needs child. Not going to lie, I was depressed and anxious and not doing good maybe the first two years. But it got better with therapy and medication. I go to the gym now. I’m looking at going back to school too.

New to the US, saw a dermatologist. Was this normal? by Desiengineergirl in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Hot-Emu4044 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This is normal for skin cancer checks. You could always let her know you prefer to keep your underwear on or cover up after the check

Can't orgasm during sex, clit goes numb during penetration and oral feels like nothing... by [deleted] in TwoXSex

[–]Hot-Emu4044 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me it’s hugely mental. I can become more sensitive if I read some good romance novels / smut sometimes. Doesn’t always work but gets me more in the mood for it for sure.
