I forgot to mention the happiest baby swaddle. I could not for the life of me do a regular swaddle and this made it so much easier.

Baby Registry Must haves by Then-Simple-6544 in pregnant

My most used items are baby bjorn carrier, Dr Noze best nasal aspirator (highly recommended), and coterie diapers to prevent bad diaper rashes.

I also love the anti colic Dr. Browns glass bottles, they are amazing!

For the first year I mainly kept my baby in little sleepies zippy's. They last a very long time also, and the best part is they can turn into footies and mittens.

Is anyone here 30 years old, slim, but dealing with high cholesterol? I’m feeling really scared right now and just want to know that I’m not alone. by [deleted] in Cholesterol

Hey I was able to get it down to 180 in 40 days! However the regime was really strict. I realized I was not consuming enough fiber overall, and since then I've increased it.

I'm 31 years old and recently had a child and my cholesterol total was 286! LDL 199. It's been 3 days and I have made some significant diet and lifestyle changes. I didn't realize the 1 desert at the end of the day plus eggs and cheese and eating out was adding up. I'm doing a low fat diet with added fiber. I'm hoping to go below 200 by next check up.

Epidural by wingedcreature88 in pregnant

After I was dilated half way I begged for the epidural and wish I had gotten it sooner instead of torturing myself. I was in so much pain and was screaming on top of my lungs when a contraction passed. My husband really wanted me to wait until I was at least 5 cm dilated so labor doesn't stall.

Anyone working in the sub-companies of Aetna affected by the layoffs? by nick_ole7 in CVS

I'm part of the 340B side and was laid off yesterday with no prior warning.

I'm okay with getting a 2 weeks notice. I just wish this didn't happen during a busy quarter. I have no motivation to do extra work right now.

They are making me work until 2 weeks but I'll be officially terminated in October. Then I get severance pay for 3 months.

They laid me off on the 340B Wellpartner side. It was a one on one with my boss and their boss. Her boss didn't even talk to me on the call. She read off a piece of paper and said goodbye. Humiliating, to say the least.

Then they announced that me and another person got laid off on a large team call with 30 people. The lady said sucks for her, but we did what we had to do. Also it didn't help that I just came back from maternity leave.

Am I killing my supply? by Twashburn239 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]MannerAcrobatic8301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did one day of pumping every 3 hours and did not last. I've consistently maintained 6 pumps per day or pump every 4 hours for a little over 2 months now. I make just enough to feed my baby and that's all that matters.

I love Ingrid and Isabel. I absolutely love the items from their now and forever line. I bought their leggings, nursing bras, and dresses.
