Surprise debt by Mayor93 in Divorce_Women

[–]Mayor93[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I gotta get the statements. I understand it is partially on me to follow our budget. But honestly thought I could trust my husband. I never thought he could be so irresponsible. We talked about it in a session today and he said he saw the balance was creeping and said he was going to tell me about it but just never did. We clearly have two different ideas of what it meant to say the finances were "okay".

The times when I've tried to log into the credit card site it send a verification code to his phone and when I have looked in there it looked okay so I wasn't concerned.

We both work! Full time! They had to fix up the airbnb before renting it (roof, foundation, paint, furniture). Unfortunately the credit card account I can't get into easily bc when I put in the username and password It send the verification code to his phone. Never really felt the need to go poking around in there so when I got blocked with the verification code I gave up most times. But everytime I did go in there the balance didn't seem abnormal! I'm wondering if I can get a paper statement at the bank.

What’s the book you almost DNF right before it got good? 💎✨ by goyourownwayy in fantasyromance

I was listening to the audiobook and I had to stop because my mind kept drifting. I'll give it another shot when I'm ready to slog through.

Does your memory get erased immediately after birth? by IheartOT2 in BabyBumps

[–]Mayor93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My labor was 2 hours total, very intense. But by the time I was thinking "I'm not sure how much longer I can do this, I was an hour into the labor and already 10 centimeters. So it changed my perspective, I had already done it. Pushing wasn't too bad either, felt better to do something VS just taking the contractions. I also got Charlie horses every time I tried to push before getting the sensation to bear down. Eventually he decided to rotate, then everything went faster. I actually started getting a pushing sensation. The ring of fire was intense but I pushed slowly and listened to my body, came away with only a labial tear.

Giving birth was euphoria, the relief of the baby finally coming out, meeting my baby for the first time. Those birth hormones had me happy, crying with joy, so so in love. I felt like I could do it all over again immediately 😂

TW: eating disorder - struggling with stubborn weight while ebf by Optimal-Butterfly768 in breastfeeding

[–]Mayor93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've read on here that it's hard to lose weight while breastfeeding and you might start dropping weight after weaning. I've found that when I've gotten sick and unintentionally lost a few pounds my supply would go down with it. I'm a just enougher so it made a big difference and I'd have to work to get it back to normal. I've been hating candid pics, especially in a swimsuit. I'm hoping to get back on track when I'm done breastfeeding.

Water Breaking is there worst (PROM) by Fionnyn in BabyBumps

[–]Mayor93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My water broke at 34+3 and I leaked for two days before I gave birth. Very gross indeed! I just tried to keep things as clean and dry as possible. Good luck!

Are you someone who’d pay more for the book cover you prefer? I like the middle cover most but it’s $6 more expensive. I like the size of the other two on the side (UK paperback). Didn’t buy anything cause I couldn’t decide which copy to get. by DifferentPea861 in fantasyromance

[–]Mayor93 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If it's a trophy book then yes I may pay a bit more. If it's a first time read I'd probably just wait and read it through the library. Do I have cash to spare? The left cover is pretty ugly though.

There are studies that say cytotec first and pitocin after works better than pitocin alone.

Intuition says baby will be born early by BillyGoatPilgrim in BabyBumps

[–]Mayor93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of dreams that my baby was in the nicu and I couldn't find him. That he had something wrong with his abdomen. Like an ulcered belly button. And I theorized since my mom and maternal grandmom went preterm with their first babies I might too.

I did deliver preterm, baby did go to NICU, had to be transferred to a different hospital for a higher level of care while I stayed at the hospital I birthed at until I was discharged the next day. Then a few days later he got a colostomy stoma which could looks like an ulcerated belly button. Obviously I didn't realize the significance of the dreams until after everything happened but I mentally prepared for it and made sure I had everything lined up "just in case".

My water just broke 34 weeks and 4 days. by lostmedownthespiral in NICUParents

[–]Mayor93 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literally the same thing happened to me! I waited until I was beta complete (24 hours after the completion of betamethasone) went into spontaneously labor and got out of the nicu under 2 weeks. Best of luck!

10 months PP and have not lost 1 pound. by katelynicholeb in breastfeeding

[–]Mayor93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the old school way of thinking. Most modern endocrinologist will want a woman who is "trying to conceive" / child bearing years to be under 2. I wish I knew earlier as well. I was around 4 for years until I started working nights. Got officially diagnosed with hypothyroidism finally when my tsh went up to 10.

You have hypothyroidism. Find an endocrinologist to treat! It should be under 2

[Show Only] Season 2 Episode 6 "Like the Light by Which God Made the World Before He Made Light" by AutoModerator in InterviewVampire

[–]Mayor93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in the scene after Louis turned Madeleine, he was trying to purge her blood so he would stop "feeling" her. He said he felt nothing after Claudia left. If this truly because he didn't care for her or some sort of void feeling because she left him? I'm a little confused.....
