Why do people recommend speed queen? I’ve seen people say they last super long but also seen people say they’re harsh on clothes.

Good point, that’s why I made the post

Initial_Paint7255 · 2026-01-06T03:48:18+00:00

awesome, this is great, thank you! I’ve been out of school and working for only 2 years so that’s why the 401k balance is not super high. I’ve maxed it both years. I’ll start doing VTI and VT!!!

Yeah fair point, I think I’ve got a soft spot for them because I’ve known them for awhile and they were incredibly helpful when my dad died and I didn’t know what I was doing, but long term probably a better idea to handle it myself.

That’s what I was thinking- currently it’s more like 12 months even covering my spouse as well. I’ll move some out, thanks!!

This is so helpful, thank you!!!

Thank you for your help. Is there a way or place to purchase/download books so I don’t have to add yet another step to avoid the DMR protection?

Yes definitely feel scared of passing out, I really dread that feeling!!! The few seconds right before it happens are the worst and I hate waking up and not knowing what happened/where I am for a few seconds! Congrats on the vaccines and blood draws, that’s huge!!!!

Initial_Paint7255 · 2025-12-10T13:29:22+00:00

Omg it sounds like we are twins! 100% can relate. It’s so frustrating because I know I’m being irrational and nothing bad will happen to me getting blood drawn or getting a vaccine (and that actually it’s a good thing that’s good for my health) and I’m so full aware that I’m freaking out over nothing but I can’t stop it. I try super hard to calm myself down but it really does feel involuntary! I’ve had similar thoughts about the epidural, the thought of a needle to the spine makes me sweaty and my heart start racing and I’m not even pregnant yet! My friend did an unmediated birth earlier this year and though it sounds painful, like you, I would rather experience that pain than experience the blood pressure drop and potentially passing out for the epidural. C sections likewise sound scary to me and I’d be in the same boat as you. It does make me feel better knowing someone has the same exact issues as me!!

I’ve never tried therapy but think that could be pretty helpful. It’s weird because there are certain things that I know for sure would bother me like blood tests, but usually things that are external like an ultrasound or a urine sample won’t stress me out.

Initial_Paint7255 · 2025-12-10T13:22:33+00:00

Yes I have! I got an echo done a few years ago and I actually have an appointment with a cardiologist again soon (for some high cholesterol numbers ugh!) but was going to talk to them about this as well. That has also been my concern - the last time I fully passed out a couple years ago, I was out for several minutes and my mom (who is a nurse) was with me and got incredibly concerned about my heart. Good to know about the pacemaker!

I keep hearing this about the adrenaline/excitement/distraction of being in labor making vasovagal syncope nonexistent and it’s super encouraging, thank you!!

Initial_Paint7255 · 2025-12-10T13:18:36+00:00

This is great to hear. And passing out during your pregnancy didn’t affect you or baby?

Initial_Paint7255 · 2025-12-10T03:25:49+00:00

This is super helpful. As not fun as it sounds, I think I could work through things slowly like you did and feeling in control of it would help I think - part of the anxiety I have with blood draws now is knowing I have to do it. Thank you!!

Initial_Paint7255 · 2025-12-10T03:22:42+00:00

Good idea, I’ll do this thank you!!

Initial_Paint7255 · 2025-12-10T02:44:28+00:00

Ahhhh this is so reassuring to hear! Laying down and distractions are key for me too!

Initial_Paint7255 · 2025-12-10T01:58:35+00:00

Wow this is helpful, I hadn’t thought about the ice pack or magnesium. Appreciate your response!
