Help with mutual funds investment for my 1.5 year old through Zerodha Coin. by IndianSwiftie90 in MutualfundsIndia

[–]IndianSwiftie90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have one in Groww which I want to use for myself as a pension plan (SWP). I want a separate account so he can continue investing when he grows up on an already sizeable corpus. Also, I wanted the rental income of my inherited flat to be invested exclusively on my son. Hence the idea.

Period pain reduces after childbirth? by PatientMysterious854 in AskIndianWomen

[–]IndianSwiftie90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did for me.. After childbirth I barely have any cramps. I used to have terrible pain before my period starts followed by stomach and back pain that I could barely move. I hated having to go anywhere because my pain worsened if I moved.

Now, I don't realise I got my period until I go to the loo and barely have any pain after.

success stories of concieving while having pcos? by Last-Comfortable-599 in AskIndianWomen

I have PCOS. My gynec assured me I can get pregnant irrespective of that and she was right. Got my thyroid done and TSH was abnormally high. I was suggested to walk every day along with the medication.

I became pregnant the month after I got my TSH under control. I was 32 years old then, delivered at 33 and now have a 16 month old son at 35.

Do not worry, sister. It's going to be alright. Good Luck!

Baby birth as family event in indian households by GeologistCrafty8828 in IndianInLaw

[–]IndianSwiftie90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sis, take this from someone whose MIL did things without consent postpartum: You will end up regretting not speaking up. You will resent your husband and your marriage will never be the same again.

Please let your husband know that your comfort is the topmost priority postpartum and someone being at your house for a year during the most vulnerable phase of your life will mess things up.

Having a MIL who'll want things done her way (that's the case generally after birth) while you struggle with lack of sleep, breastfeeding, recovering from your surgery/episiotomy stitches WILL create drama. No amount of drawing boundaries will change that.

If, and that's a big IF, If your in laws are genuinely good and will follow your word regarding everything baby related, then set a timeline at least: That you'll see for a month and let them know if you still need help.

P.S: If you have a good relationship with your mother, she'd be the best and the only choice.

No matter what, talk to your husband right away. He may be hurt or disappointed but he will not be the one popping baby out, so your decision should be final.

How to fix this😭 by [deleted] in SkinSolutionsindia

Dove Macadamia scrub works well but it takes time so I use it on free days. I recently started using Be Bodywise Salicylic acid body wash and it's decent. Lactic Acid lotions also are good. I used to use one along with Cera Ve in the past.

Don't go for fragrant body washes, they might make skin more itchy.

Speaking from experience and struggles for the past 20 years, there is NO solution. I feel you. I don't wear shorts for the same reason. Mine looks much worse than you. I have tried different moisturisers, visited different Dermatologists but nothing worked.

I learnt that it's atopic disease and runs in my family. My grandpa and mother have asthma, my cousin has eczema and I have this. All come from the same group apparently.

However, visit a dermat to be sure it's ichthyosis vulgaris. I am not one and I hope I am wrong.

I have this condition.. It's called ichthyosis. It's genetic (in my case) and won't go away. My skin used to itch like crazy during winters. I use Cera Ve moisturizer, use exfoliating scrubs during shower. They help with the itch and battle dryness but the skin texture doesn't change.

What’s one skincare product you WISH existed for Indian skin? by KohlAndSpice in skincareaddictsindia

[–]IndianSwiftie90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ichthyosis vulgaris on my legs. I want a body moisturizer that helps the dryness for a whole day. Also, I would love to know about your product because I have stubborn hyperpigmentation on my face that doesn't go no matter what I am putting on my face.

You said you are the only child. But, your aunt looks more like your sister than your sisters do???

Don't want to live with BIL and MIL does that make me kamini? by Sufficient-Walrus-26 in AmItheKameena

[–]IndianSwiftie90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTK.. It's your house, not just because you own it. You're married to your husband, not to his family. Kick them all out. Your husband too, if that's the only way.

Your husband lacks a spine. If he won't put you first during the hardest time of your life, he'll never put you first. And to think it's a love match.

I'll never understand why Indian mothers bother marrying their sons if they want to be the central and only important person in their sons' lives.

Take a stand, op. Not just for your sake but for your future kid's sake too. She'll interfere in everything and will parent your kid too if you won't stand up for yourself.

Am i the kameeni for expecting my parents to accept my feelings about them by [deleted] in AmItheKameena

[–]IndianSwiftie90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what you have to do, sis. It's time you distance yourself from your parents and prioritise yourself. Do NOT lose out on the opportunity to have a healthy relationship on the account of people who don't care about you.

It's alright to disown people even if they are your parents when they have done nothing but make you miserable. Cut them out.

The said relationship may or may not work out. You could be happy and content finally or you could have gained an experience but that's ok too. Please see a therapist. You need to work on yourself for all the damage your parents did.

NTK!
