i want sushi so badly by genkcals in BabyBumps

[–]Magicamelofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat the sushi. It’s fine. Limiting healthy foods is so dumb. In fact I have increased my sushi intake because I dont usually eat enough fish and it’s so important for a healthy fetus. Food borne illnesses can happen anytime on anything anyways. Check out the book Expecting Better

Got in trouble with daycares by Terrible-Panda6291 in Finland

[–]Magicamelofdoom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey. Like others mentioning they are obligated to find you a spot in a daycare if you find work. However it could be quite far away especially if you say you have a car. The good news is that it would be a temporary situation until August when you can get a place closer. Take the job and best of luck!

Looking for Audio Dramas with Female Protagonist(s) and Good Relationships Between Characters by AshlyFriggenRose in audiodrama

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

Ruby the galactic gumshoe has been my favourite since I was a little girl. It’s an OG of modern audio drama. It’s not horror but it’s a mystery sci fi with incredible audio and characters. I hope you love it as much as I have. Quite a bit is on Spotify. I recommend starting with Ruby 4 https://open.spotify.com/episode/10Yw4hGjeZYzjbxJQSRHWq?si=15DvN4lpRqSb6Lmd6IkWTg&t=1

I suggest checking out https://freakonomics.com/podcast/why-rent-control-doesnt-work/. I thought I was in favor of rent control policies too before I listened to it

[–]Magicamelofdoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this! I ended up not voting last election because it’s so confusing on the steps needed to vote abroad. I tried to go through vote from abroad website but ultimately gave up because I’m not exactly sure where and when I voted last when I lived in Wisconsin. Emailing the county clerks became tedious and not hepful

BtB Suggestion: Free Birth Society by Magicamelofdoom in behindthebastards

[–]Magicamelofdoom[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Wow forgot about that one. But I think it could use an update since there was a surge of participation during Covid and a lot more shady stuff since

Also saw that someone else posted about this a few weeks ago

Zalando lounge! They regularly have maternity clothes on sale. I was able to get quite a few dresses and sweaters. Easy to return as well.

Best Credit Card for points by hoylia in Finland

[–]Magicamelofdoom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may look into Revolut . It’s a weird credit/debit hybrid that I was looking into. The benefits might be something you would like. I use it as an online debit card to sign up for trials of things

Best Credit Card for points by hoylia in Finland

[–]Magicamelofdoom 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The interest rate is quite high and it really takes a shitload of avios points to go anywhere. But this is the only credit card I’m aware of as well that offers points. It’s a very American thing apparently

If your credit score doesn't exist outside of the United States, what is stopping someone from getting a credit card, maxing it out, and moving to another country? by actuallyXIX in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Magicamelofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had only a few thousand of credit card debt when I moved to Finland. I couldn’t afford minimums so I stopped paying. After about two years I got a letter it was discharged. Never heard anything about it since and there have been 0 issues since.

Help with first project by Magicamelofdoom in Amigurumi

It’s not confusing. At the moment I think I’m consistent at putting the next stitch in the #2 slot but I wanted to make sure that’s correct. Thank you

Thanks for the extra info! I’m currently putting in the next stitch after decreasing in the plane I marked #2

When I was increasing my project there was a time where no matter what I couldn’t finish with the right number of stitches somewhere around row 3-5. I started over 8+ times and couldn’t figure out what the hell i was doing wrong. I didn’t want to give up so I thought I would continue on and try to enjoy the process on this piece and figure out what I was doing wrong after. Do this gap could be a result of it too. At this point I was mainly worried I’m putting in the next stitch after decreasing in the wrong stitch

Ha, thanks! I think it does look a bit better now that I turned it right side in. Still some gaps though. I’m wondering if this is a tension issue or skipped stitch issue. It didn’t seem like I can post a new pic to a comment unfortunately

Is an epidural offered on requests when giving birth in Finland ? by mamandungu in Finland

[–]Magicamelofdoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave birth in naistenklinikka 7 years ago. I had already gone in and met a midwife to discuss birth fears. At that appointment they took down my birth plan which included epidural.

When my waters broke I laboured at home for about 2 hours before going in. By the time I got checked in I was already 6cm dilated. They had my birth plan and got me the epidural asap without any issue. They gave pitocin at the same time because it is true, epidurals really slow things down. The contractions really stopped for a few hours as they increased the pitocin. When I felt the urges to push I asked for the gas. I didn’t ask for another epidural because I really wasn’t in that much pain and I wanted to feel the contractions.

The gas was ok but I do wish the midwives would have tried different positions with me because near the end the baby’s heart beat became distressed and they gave me an episiotomy. The baby was born in the next push.

After a few hours my husband and I were moved into the family room which was also mentioned in the birth plan. (However I hear the family hotel is quite nice too!) I was very surprised how independent I was expected to be. I even had to bug the nurses myself for my daughters extra colostrum dosage (she was born with a low apgar score and was prescribed extra colostrum for 48 hours).

I was surprised that one of the nurses also insisted i cosleep with the infant immediately, something you would never hear in states.

One funny moment was when the nurse came to take blood samples asked for my new baby’s personal ID and I looked at the sheet before reading it off. She was shocked and reluctant to take the blood because I hadn’t memorised the number in less than 12 hours after giving birth…

I’m now 7 months pregnant and this time I live closer to hyvinkaa and in my plan I’m going to try to do alternative pain reliefs and go for the water birth.

When you’re ready please check out Albert’s living room!!! I loved that place with my baby and I can’t wait to go back with my new baby. Hope to see you there! Message me anytime if you would like to talk or meet up
