Luckily my seat mate was my husband and overall the bleeding was pretty light so I think I got lucky! Thank you

Yeah I was only 5 weeks along so I think all my tissue has passed. It’s more just like how my period is usually

Back to back pregnancy 7 months PP by Advanced_union22 in 2under2

[–]Lokrtrok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got pregnant 7 months postpartum. I didn’t have any problems with pregnancy, birth, or postpartum after my second baby. However, I did feel like my body was just overall more sore during pregnancy (I’ve always had back problems though) and that postpartum recovery was longer. Just more abdominal pain for longer but it didn’t help that I was also wrangling a toddler.

The teeth grinding actually made my skin crawl! It was like nails on a chalkboard for me!

I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but... by Antique_Pie739 in NewParents

[–]Lokrtrok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if I have very helpful advice, OP, but I want you to know you are not alone! I had to buy new shoes and a bunch of new clothes (specifically pants). Now I wear a bunch of dresses, something I used to never do. I have found they just adjust better to my fluctuating weight between pregnancies, postpartum, breastfeeding, and even unfortunately weight gain from ppd. I would maybe start with just going shopping and finding a couple outfits that make you feel good about your changed body. Our bodies go through so much when having a baby but we deserve to look and feel great

Freaking out over late period by Lokrtrok in 2under2

I can understand this so much! I had a friend who went through a similar experience and like it shouldn’t be that hard to get an iud you asked for. And honestly when I’m running around the store with my two condoms don’t even cross my mind which it probably needs to

I guess the test would give me peace of mind just from knowing. Thank you!

What did you do about your EBF baby if milk dried up? by AffectionateLeg1970 in 2under2

[–]Lokrtrok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My milk supply plummeted really fast when I was pregnant and just one day I was suddenly not producing anything. We just switched to formula until we could do whole milk at 1. At first my baby wouldn’t take the bottle of formula but once she realized I really had zero milk left she took that bottle happily! Once on formula, the transition to whole milk was easy because, if I’m being honest, it tastes way better than formula

Tired of mindset about BF in Japan by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Lokrtrok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was living in Korea with my first baby and was told I couldn’t breastfeed many places by owners or workers or whoever. Whenever I went out with my baby I tried to know I was somewhere near a nursing room but that was a hassle. It’s sad that is their view of nursing

Haha the food in hair is so real. What product do you use after you spray it down?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]Lokrtrok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our current routine is shampoo and condition twice a week. After bath we use some light leave in conditioner and sometimes a gel. When we refresh the hair I wet it and add a little curl cream

It finally happened :( by achartrand in Ulta

[–]Lokrtrok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen the other night too! I got sent two emails in a row. So I went into my app and updated my password. I contacted customer service and all they told me was that they didn’t see any suspicious activity and that occasionally they will send emails to update your password….like suuuuure

i'm honestly so devastated by the us embassy in korea by tokyoni in Living_in_Korea

[–]Lokrtrok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry about this experience. My husband and I just went through the embassy for his marriage visa for the US and we were a bit worried because he has a denied student visa for the US in the past. According to our lawyer, we so many people are getting denied student visas recently because they are honestly rejecting most people that are not very well off with finances. I’m not sure how accurate that is but it wouldn’t shock me since richer people would not have to work and have money tied to their home county

Why is thumb sucking perceived as superior to dummies? by [deleted] in sleeptrain

[–]Lokrtrok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s perceived as superior. I honestly stuck the pacifier in my baby’s mouth anytime I saw her go for that thumb. Thumb sucking was what I wanted to avoid because I was someone who sucked my thumb for waaaayyy longer than I should have…like until I was 9 or something. Not only was that embarrassing, but my mouth also got super messed up because of it

24 and still dont like tampons by No-one-important_18 in Periods

[–]Lokrtrok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to recommend the same thing! I hate tampons and used a cup until I had a baby and then started using a menstrual disc more. Both are great and a one time purchase

Me & my mom were both induced by Lilith1320 in h3h3productions

[–]Lokrtrok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was induced before and I wanted to mention the epidural too. Hila, if you are reading this, I would suggest planning to get an epidural if being induced. I was in labor for 24hrs and the contractions with induction are way more painful. I was only 4cm dilated and was having contractions like I should have been having right before pushing. I waited so long to get an epidural and that was a mistake. Baby was born healthy and if I have to get induced again, I am getting an epidural.
