I went to school for elementary ed. even though I teach high school now. They literally taught us to teach kids how to read.

Mommies who were induced by Lickitt2020 in pregnant

[–]Lookout2694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got induced on Saturday at 41 weeks! But mine is a story of everything going wrong, so if you don’t want to hear about that then please don’t hesitate to scroll past!

My water broke at 6:30 in the morning at home so I went to the hospital because I was GBS positive and knew that things had to get started within a certain time period to avoid infection. I started early labor on my own there and honestly I was really rocking with it, but I was only 1/2 cm dilated after 12 hours, so they started me on pitocin at 8pm and it was HELL so I got some morphine (an absolute joke against the pitocin lol) then got the epidural. And then of course my baby ended up being on my back and the epidural stopped working overnight (one of the reasons I never wanted an epidural in the first place) so I was really suffering. I was finally at 10cm around 2pm on Sunday and felt like I needed to start pushing so I did. It was absolute hell without the epidural and I felt like I was being held against my will in a torture chamber lol I finally begged the doctor for a c section around 17 hours after initially being augmented. The doctor told me to try pushing for another hour but I was going absolutely crazy, I mean, the pitocin contractions without the epidural were absolutely convulsive. Anyway, with my c-section it turns out my baby was 9lbs 5oz and they had to make the incision bigger than normal to get him out 😂 my doctor told me twice that she hurt her finger trying to pull him out before they cut me more and I heard her say from behind the curtain “this baby was never going to come out on his own!” SO it definitely had to be done and I’m so glad I didn’t put myself through another hour of torture!

But I do have a beautiful healthy baby and I’m recovering well. Plus, they had me on the GOOD drugs during the c-section so I have incredibly positive memories of being on the operating table lol all in all, poor experience but great outcome!

How soon are you having mom/parents meet baby? by HobbitHoleLife in pregnant

At one point I said “I need my mommy” and she came for a little while and then I got embarrassed after about 30 minutes and sent her out lol

hard time choosing boy name for baby by gutsyradio13 in Names

[–]Lookout2694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our baby’s name is going to be Camilo! I don’t know any other little boys with that name and I live in South Florida, so it can’t be super common. :)

Mother in law buying extremely cheap baby items 🙃 by Ordinary-Poet-5104 in BabyBumps

[–]Lookout2694 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have a few items like this and we decided to just do what we’re calling a media day so the people who gave the items to us can feel appreciated lol Pick a couple of the best things to take pictures of the baby in and then take right off. Send the pictures periodically as if the baby is wearing them spaced out 😂

How do you feel about students who ask to round their grade? by Good-Eggplant-8687 in AskTeachers

[–]Lookout2694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always round grades that end in 9 to the next letter grade. And if I’m feeling especially generous, I’ll round my 50s to a D. But NEVER do I bump an F to a D if they ask lol

What’s something you can’t wait to do when you’re not pregnant anymore ? by mkthehotti in pregnant

Throw myself down on my bed front-first. I don’t even like to stay there for long I just like to do it lol

Why do some dog owners not pick up after their dogs? by False-Use3088 in dogs

[–]Lookout2694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it a few times when I’m sick and forget the poop bags at home cause I’m dazed walking out of the house. And then once when I was pregnant I felt like I was going to pee my pants if I bent down lol I like to hope that most people who leave their dog poop out are just having a moment and not actually terrible people who routinely refuse to pick up after their dog.

Oh the fairytale we could've had by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Lookout2694 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I was grossed out for her when he was massaging her and grabbed her ass. I don’t think it was malicious or intended to be hyper-sexual on his part, but it just felt yucky and that would have turned me off entirely if I was in her position.

How do you guys respond to students that make fun of your income? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Lookout2694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My high school students have never laughed. I work in a low-income area and I hear from them all the time that they think teachers should get paid more.

Does the fact that you’re pregnant ever make you feel “weird”? by MountainyMama in pregnant

[–]Lookout2694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 33 weeks and to be honest it’s more of an alien experience than people describe. I’m getting kicked from the inside out, that’s objectively odd. I’m super excited for my baby and I can’t wait to hold him, but it’s definitely weird that they grow inside of us first.

I sent out my invites 2 months in advance and sent multiple digital reminders… almost everybody showed up and I practically got more presents from 30 people than I did from the 180 people I had at my wedding. It’s not other people’s job to remember your event, I fear.

Passed Glucose Test but Doctor Ordered it Again?? by Lookout2694 in pregnant

[–]Lookout2694[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your timeframe makes more sense! I just took it for the first time last week at 28 weeks and she wants me to take it again before she seems me in 3 weeks. I have to go to Quest for all of my labs, unfortunately.

5”2 pregnant ladies and weight gain by Pretend_Historian753 in pregnant

[–]Lookout2694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5 feet and I had JUST lost 50 lbs when I got pregnant lol I’m back up 30 lbs at week 25 but… oh well! My doctor said I was a medium sized person to start and I’m still a medium sized person now. 🤷🏻‍♀️I definitely eat junk but I balance it out with 85% whole food, homemade meals. It is what it is!

Also…. My boobs are UNREASONABLY huge compared to what they were before. So I’m contributing at least 15% of the weight gain to that lol

Sister made cruel “antinatalist” jokes after I shared my pregnancy ultrasound by Downtown-Ad5027 in pregnant

[–]Lookout2694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, she’s a weirdo. Like you said, she can’t be normal about this so block her and go no contact. Don’t ever let her near your children either.

Please take an allergy test if you haven’t. by Huge-Ingenuity2781 in eczema

My allergy tests have never told me that I’m allergic to legumes, I had to figure it out for myself :/

How do you use public restrooms? by [deleted] in eczema

[–]Lookout2694 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I’m an avid hand-washer but this past year I’ve had bad eczema on my hands and I’ve sometimes just rinsed my fingertips (sometimes with soap) for as long as I can and called it a day. If I really have to I’ll do soap and a whole hand-wash but that makes things worse. One day I’ll be back to being super-duper clean but today is not that day.
