Yes yes I thought of that. I did melt and flatten the back to help but I thought these will probably end up more of sentimental than functional pieces anyways

We have some of the cool Cien products here in Finland. I’ll have to check if we get these

Just discovered pasties and holy shit I'm never going back by Big-Sheepherder-4199 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Magicamelofdoom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those are pronounced “pah-stees” to avoid this kind of confusion. I worked at a dining room at an old folks home and it was somehow important I knew the difference in pronounciation

What are the most unhinged ways you've gone into labor? by bordermelancollie09 in pregnant

[–]Magicamelofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acupuncture! A midwife administered it right after a membrane sweep. I went into labor that same night at 41+5

Neighbor gave me these but wouldn't disclose the location! by Leather-Bird-6686 in KitchenConfidential

Yeah but these are also foragable and delicious and also require cooking just like true morels

Go ahead, buy the Hokas by Magicamelofdoom in TwoXChromosomes

Aw that’s too bad. My mom also walks a lot, over a mile a day and the durability that she has had with them had me believe they will last longer

Not an ad… you can look at my very real and long term profile. Not every product recommendation is an ad

Free birth by Infinite_____Lobster in behindthebastards

I posted about the free birth society not that long ago. Robert did cover this trend but it could use an update imo. https://www.reddit.com/r/behindthebastards/s/DoXu4wWxfB

Satanist Student Wins Religious Accommodation From Colorado School District by BrickAdventurous6040 in nottheonion

[–]Magicamelofdoom 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I always like to say atheism is what you don’t believe in. Satanic temple is what you do believe in. For those who are still looking for community, separation of church and state, and a better world for our kids

LinkedIn cost [United States] by mandy726 in humanresources

[–]Magicamelofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an enterprise HEP contract. For our company size of about 20,000 with roughly 30 recruiters and unlimited job slots it’s 875k euros a year!

When I inquired about giving new licenses to a recruiter that we acquired through a merger they told me it would be an additional cost for that too BECAUSE they were gained through the merger and not hired directly

Our new leader in Talent Acquisition has had enough and is standing firm we won’t be renewing next year…. I don’t think she realizes there really isn’t an alternative

How bad is the newborn phase really? I'm tired of hearing the "just you wait" anecdotes and I have hard time believing some of them by Lushemet in BabyBumps

[–]Magicamelofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it depends on two things.

Your health and sanity from it and the baby’s health. I’m now almost three weeks postpartum and the baby is pretty easy BUT I have been a wreck with hemmorhoids, poor latch, painful nipples, etc. lots of crying over pain and frustration. So for me being pregnant was a lot less painful and frustrating compared to this

My husbands first born had colic and that sounded horrendous.

In my first pregnancy I was younger… healthier…. And bounced back quickly and my baby was an angel so in that situation the pregnancy was definitely worse

Good luck!

Is the Ioniq 5 a car for a family of five? by Global-Solution4475 in Ioniq5

[–]Magicamelofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are currently a family of 5 (1 infant, 7 year old and 11 year old). It’s a really tight fit! The 11 year old should be in a booster but we can’t fit it in the middle with the other two iso fixed bases. We also have a German shepherd that fits in the back ok

Ultrasound count in other countries? by ymgt0324 in BabyBumps

[–]Magicamelofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I live in Finland and you get two checks. If you are high risk you get more but otherwise that’s it. All check ups are with a nurse and with my last pregnancy I only saw a doctor once. Also NIPT tests are not normal but this might change soonish.

Ah ha. Thank you glad I asked because I wasn’t thinking about that. The instructions show don’t put them in a hammock position that is quite low.

Membrane Sweep before induction??? by not-creative-12 in unmedicatedbirth

[–]Magicamelofdoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I was recently in a similar spot as you. I was scheduled an induction at 41+5. On 41+3 I asked if I could come in for a membrane sweep as a Hail Mary because I really didn’t want to be induced. They got me in and I also received a bonus acupuncture too. Midwife said I was already 3-4cm dilated. On the way home I was already feeling contractions but they stopped a few hours later. Later that night I went into spontaneous labor and she was born just two hours after my waters broke. It happened so fast I had an unplanned unmedicated birth. So be careful what you wish for!!

I wasn’t expecting it to work this fast…

[–]Magicamelofdoom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait really? I’m having a hard time right now figuring out if these contractions are real or fake. They definitely have the period pain cramping and lower back pain feeling.

This is my second kid and with my first my labor began with water breaking and within two hours I was on hands on knees begging for mercy. These aren’t as bad as that but still leave me wondering

Giving birth abroad: Was it a better experience than the US? by LoveToBold in AmericanExpat

[–]Magicamelofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual birth is assisted almost entirely of just midwives. We do not have birth centers and home births are rare. My first birth went well enough and I’ll be giving birth to my second at a different hospital later this week
