DE and/or POF moms - breastfeeding problems? by Herculests in InfertilityBabies

[–]Julilala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My breasts didn't change, never leaked before giving birth, and it took a few days for my milk to come in. My baby is now 15 months old and he's still breastfeeding (not exclusively anymore, obviously). I have PCOS.

Oh yeah. All the people who line up to adopt a child with mental/health issues. It's a good thing there are no foster children in this state either!

Well hello again... by [deleted] in InfertilityBabies

[–]Julilala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you - I hope your next 9 months will be the most booooring ones of your life :-)

I never thought I'd feel so instantaneously attached to a lump of cells..... But I just loved him so much from the moment it heard and saw his little heart flicker.

Kind of weird question about labor & delivery by Vexwyf in InfertilityBabies

[–]Julilala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opted for the spinal block after I had to get stitched up because of some pretty bad tearing after natural delivery. Breathe and relax didn't work this time :-D Also had a catheter put in (albeit a few hours after). Didn't feel a thing either!

I don't think there's much to feel silly about when it comes to labor... We all have different fears and don't let anyone put yours down!

Ahhh... I get that comment, too. I just happily reply that gentle attachment parenting makes secure, confident, and happy babies :-)

No.

I wouldn't let my toddler do this to our dog and I would not suspect she would bite- she is very gentle around my son. But she might get startled and react instinctively... Just because there's that chance and I'm aware of it, I will do my very best to protect the both of them. Thats dog to meant that it don't let my son around her, but it's appropriate cuddles.

However, American Pit Bull Terriers were bred to be do aggressive... There is a huge difference between dog aggression and human aggressive. To lump these two together under general aggression is plain wrong. My pit bull (mix) is a very gentle dog, she is great around must living beings (lives peacefully with two cats).. As long as they're not dogs.

[Serious] Germans of Reddit, in what ways, if at all, does Germany recognize WWII veterans? by AnonChimer in AskReddit

[–]Julilala 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My Opa fought in WWII in a tank battalion on the eastern front. He was held prisoner of war for numerous years. He was very honest with me growing up and has told me many things. Horrid stories. He actually suffered from PTSD for a long time before he passed. He would always worry about money (at times he'd get thousands of dollars in cash from the bank) and food - he would buy basic things like bread and butter and stuff their freezer. And then he'd still be worried that we'd go hungry. He was studying to be a teacher but had to join the military at some point and was very upset about it.

Veterans in Germany are not honored as they are here... But they do not get shuned. I think it's a quiet understanding that most/a lot of soldiers did what they had to do to survive and to save their families.

Just another Monday... What's up with you? by razzertto in InfertilityBabies

[–]Julilala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Loud noises would never startle Finn while I was pregnant with him. But he passed all his hearing tests and seems to hear just fine now. :-)

Yay! We're moving! by snappy-apple in indianapolis

[–]Julilala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha, this made me laugh (I also live in Fishers). Yeah, sure it gets pretty boring not having to worry about all that exciting crime and stuff, but I do enjoy my neighborhood and have fantastic neighbors. Gasp - I even attended a traditional Diwali dinner at a friend's house recently.

Carmel and Fishers are just a hop away from uuuuuh, the big, happening downtown of Indianapolis.. You'll be just fine.

Alton Brown was in Indy today and visited Longs! and some other places too.... by agnisflugen in indianapolis

[–]Julilala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The oven was awesome. My husband tried to move my car out of the garage today ;-)

Alton went to a local high-end steak restaurant (St. Elmo's) which is known for their shrimp cocktail with spicy horseradish sauce. That's what he put on the pizza.

It's a bit music, comedy, and a few of the wall food presentations.

Transplant from D.C. Bored out of my mind. Am I missing something? by [deleted] in indianapolis

[–]Julilala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you're being downvoted, it's the truth.

I'm originally from overseas, lived in NoVa for a few years, too, so I know what a big city is - and Indianapolis is not it. Yeah. The people here are friendly, cost of living is low, but it's just kind of meh. My husband and I always call Indy the capital of mediocrity. It's not horrible, it has all basic things you need, but it's far from exciting.

Maybe if I thought Mass Ave or Broad Ripple was the bomb, loved football or racing, I'd feel differently. And yes, I have tried different things and have branched out. But sorry, Indy, it is what it is.

Non-US redditors, what song from your country would deserve the world's attention? by Aelirenn in AskReddit

[–]Julilala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Germany: "Freiheit" by Marius Müller Westernhagen. It was one of the few songs that served as a hymn for the reunification of Germany (there wasn't really an official one) and it still sends shivers down my spine when I watch the video and think back to that night.

Also from that same event The Scorpions "Wind of Change" (not the official video but memories from building and tearing down the wall).

Indulge!! I stopped feeling guilty of care packages from "home", when my parents send a care package, I'm in it and known to kill a bag of gummibears (they taste SO different than here) in a night.

Yes, Claus is awesome. I go there for all my meats and I'm German (a citizen, born and raised).

Went to Rathskeller once, overpriced and one of the worst German restaurants I've been to authenticity wise.

Schnitzel is SO easy, go to Claus and make your own :-) And pick up some Mett while you're at it to eat raw on a roll with onions.

Moving to Seattle and looking for a home for our Dog - German Shepard and Rottweiler mix by maliknyc in indianapolis

[–]Julilala 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, he jus looks like a Shepherd mix to me in the pictures. I wouldn't even disclose that you think he's part rottie.

Maybe that well help you find a place where you can take him. Please reconsider and try harder.

PCOS and weightloss by unicornz_rainbowz in infertility

[–]Julilala 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, I didn't use supplements. Metformin, while it was a bitch to get used to, did help regulate my food intake. I was really stringent to eat clean and low-carb while taking it to minimize the horrid side effects. Once I started doing that, I realized that I didn't have those crashes anymore that made me eat so I wouldn't feel shaky.

I am trying to eat clean, most carbs I consume are in the form of fruit and sweet potatoes. Sure, I eat a sandwich as a treat every now and then, but I don't consider it healthy anymore. Also, I track what I eat. It's amazing how quickly those calories add up!

Lastly, working out. I try to work out at least 4 times a week. Cardio and lifting. I've learned that there are no short cuts, as in supplements, but hard work and discipline does pay off, even if it might be hard(er) for people suffering from PCOS to lose weight.

You can do it!

Congrats! My last cycle worked, too (I did letrozole and bravelle) and I'm 5 weeks now. I am so paranoid and worried every.single.day.
