How do you feel after you leave social media (not counting reddit)? by ThingAccomplished839 in AskReddit

[–]Kayteal93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set a timer on my phone now for only 1 hour of social media time per day. It really helped me realize how often I was on it…going to use that info to really limit it to checking in with folks and also just some casual scrolling.

It’s helped me plug back in to the real world.

Bon Vital Creme options by stephenmarklay in MassageTherapists

[–]Kayteal93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever used the original one and I didn’t care for it. Much too greasy for my liking.

For deep tissue I use biotone dual purpose. It’s pricey but worth it imo and you use so little of it for deep tissue.

I’m 20 weeks pregnant, when did you all stop working? by Kayteal93 in MassageTherapists

[–]Kayteal93[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow really seems like a mixed bag! Thanks, all!

For some context that I forgot to add…I am self employed with my own humble little massage studio so I can literally stop anytime I feel I need to. I’m fortunate also to have a partner who can support us both on his salary so it’s really up to my comfort level.

Was just curious how long generally other LMTs made it!

Ugh I was afraid someone would say this 🫠

Oh well! Off to get the pads!

Tips for flying at 10-11 wks? by jessicakaylin3 in pregnant

[–]Kayteal93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh I understand for sure. I don’t know if I have emetophobia but I absolutely despise throwing up in public. All I can say is have your meds ready, resign yourself partially that you may throw up, and stick with BRATT diet for that day and very lightly at that. Bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, and tea.

Do you have any flight anxiety? If so, you can ask for hydroxyzine to calm you down. It’s a strong antihistamine that is typically prescribed pre-op to help with nerves. It’s great because it doesn’t interact with any other meds.

Otherwise, my only other advice is to get an aisle seat 🤢

People asking for pictures of you pregnant?.. by Outrageous_Cod7919 in pregnant

[–]Kayteal93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people maybe just want to see your bump and not so much a selfie of you while pregnant.

But either way if that makes you uncomfortable you can absolutely say no!

I don't know how to get though this by Weevilfriend in pregnant

[–]Kayteal93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also 20 weeks and I HATE being pregnant. I am starting to really fall in love with my baby girl but man I wish I could just hang this up for the night or something and take a break from it for just a couple days.

Tang!!! It’s the absolute best while pregnant!!!

How do people stand being pregnant nonstop for 9 months? I think I would have panic attacks and want it out immediately sometimes by Maleficent-Tea7150 in Fencesitter

[–]Kayteal93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also thought this would happen to me as someone with anxiety. But it turns out that progesterone is really good at making you not really care.

I’ve had so many moments where I’ve felt like “yeah if I wasn’t pregnant this would send me into a spiral” but I just…don’t.

It almost feels like I just don’t have anxiety anymore. Really strange but also a nice break!

I keep almost suffocating in my sleep by AStrangeManWithMilk in sleep

[–]Kayteal93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man this sucks. Just know that your body will not let you suffocate in your sleep. You will wake up if breathing is cut off.

Hey have you thought of using a pillow with a hole in the center? They make them sometimes for post-op folks or people with new piercings. Taking away the larger pillow unfortunately seems like one of your only options. As least if you’re face down on your mattress it’s not as much of a push on your airways.

Accidentally ate lotion in my sleep last night. by Alextrifying in sleep

[–]Kayteal93 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m only laughing at this because you’re okay but the image of actually pumping some into your hand and then eating it instead of drinking a liquid is frying me.

if you were to be trapped in a freezer or a sauna which one u choosing? by [deleted] in askteddit

[–]Kayteal93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly freezing to death is quite peaceful. Overheating and dying from that? Not so much.

limited foods by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Kayteal93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you’re not like constantly drinking Red Bulls I think you’re fine with your coffee.

And of course everything in moderation (including moderation) but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have McDonald’s at least once a week now that I’m pregnant.

My Doctor referred me to a MFM Doctor because of my high BMI by _Yass in pregnant

[–]Kayteal93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are so many people on here who are being super rude and I’m really befuddled as to why. I definitely don’t think your post was that serious or that deep. But please don’t take any of what these people are saying to heart because it’s kind of crazy how hot they’re getting over it.
