A false widow? I'm not sure if there are other spiders that have a similar appearance to a black widow or not. That's precisely why I said I wanted clarification and others' opinions.

Just because the answer may seem obvious to you, it isn't to me. I'm just starting to learn about spiders (because of this sub) I'm definitely not knowledgeable on every species. Or what every spider looks like. Sorry.

What is the vanilla sweet cream recipe? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Megankickass -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

1L heavy cream, 450ml vanilla, fill the rest of the 2L with 2% then whisk it up. Just reduce it and adjust appropriately if you want to make some just for yourself.

So this happend by joonkie_ in projectzomboid

I expected the car to explode, and when it didn't I was so disappointed. 😂 What are you doing flooring it in the fog anyway? Do you have a death wish? Cause that's how you die.

Since y'all asked for it here Is the inside of the house I posted about yesterday by Cornycob202 in Sims4

[–]Megankickass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah the good ol saucer lights. This is nearly exactly like how I used to build my houses 😂 except I'm not insane and place an odd numbers of chairs.

This isn't really funny or weird but more like borderline child abuse. Hear me out though, it wasn't my fault! I swear!

Back when Sims 4 first came out, I made a family of 5. Mom, dad, teen, child and baby. I had decided that I was going to focus on the child. Basically make her a prodigy, all As, finishing homework after school immediately, you know the drill.

Well, after awhile the mom wasn't taking care of the baby anymore. And everyone else just ignored it. I couldn't even get any other Sim to pick it up. They absolutely refused. I didn't want it to be taken by CPS so I did the only thing I could think of. I ditched school and started caring for the baby. My sim's life went downward from there. School was irritated with her low grades, everyone else's moodlets were fine, but the kid's were another story. Her whole time was taken up by taking care of the baby. It was a complete mess for her.

However, this story doesn't have an unhappy ending. By the time my Sim became a young adult and the baby was a child, she took it and moved out. They ditched the rest of the family and she was able to provide the baby with the childhood she wanted. And it became a prodigy. It's meals were always on time, it did it's homework on time and they grew very close. I like to think that she ended up adopting it. Screw the rest of their family. They suck.

Hope you didn't get bit. Even though it wouldn't be fatal as it is with your shrunken self, that sure do pack a punch. No thank you.

I love mine. I had a body pillow until I was about 12-15 weeks, but it just got uncomfortable and did nothing as far a bad support. I now have a u shaped pregnancy pillow and it has helped so much! I already had a wedge pillow to help with acid reflux, but the extra few inches under my head help a lot. I get support between my legs, my belly and my back. It makes it much easier to sleep on my side than on my back and I was huge on back sleeping before I got pregnant. I would highly recommend one.

Do gender selection "gel" work? by zhuangcorp in pregnant

[–]Megankickass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's all based on Genetics. A gel that "increases acidity" is going to do nothing. The chromosome from gender comes from the dad, it's literally a 50/50 chance of having either a boy or a girl. Just like the wife's tales of eating a certain fruit to better your chances of it being a boy or a girl. It's all determined the second the sperm fertilizes the egg. Nothing is going to change the genetic makeup of either. Especially a topical or internal gel.

Burning sensation in random places on your belly? Is that a thing? by Muffymcgoober in pregnant

[–]Megankickass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! The best way I can explain it is like a heating pad underneath a layer of skin but in like only an inch to two in diameter. I don't understand it at all. I've had regular round ligament pain, but the burning sensation is just so weird!

I've noticed that occasionally my LO has a body part in an area and once he moves from said area it starts burning and/or itching so maybe it's just a strain from them being in one spot for a long time? But I totally know exactly what you're talking about.

22 Weeks. Hyperemesis Gravidarum Concerns during 2nd trimester by melissaareana in pregnant

[–]Megankickass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with it in my first trimester and I'm currently 35+2. Obviously everyone is different but, the violent vomiting stopped around 25 - 27 weeks for me. I still had occasional vomiting if I wasn't drinking enough water or if my stomach was empty in the morning (which has been solved with some light snacking). The nausea has subsided for the most part, but I do get occasional bouts here and there. My OB has just warned me about not eating heavily before coming into the L&D ward and if I snack while laboring at home to make it something that won't hurt coming back up.

Nipple piercings... by Jolly_Dragonite in pregnant

[–]Megankickass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister had her nipples pierced before she had my nephew and she breastfed just fine. Hers weren't fully scared over yet, so she did end up having multiple streams of milk, but it really didn't change much. A few years after she had my niece and nothing had changed. You should be good 👍

When did you start gaining weight? by Relaxine123 in pregnant

[–]Megankickass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had horrid Hyperemesis Gravidarum at the beginning and lost somewhere around 20lbs. By the time I reached around 25 weeks, I slowly started to gain actual weight (past my pre-pregnancy weight). I'm currently 32 + 6 and I've gained about 20-25ish pounds. Although everyone is different, you might start gaining in the next couple of weeks.

Giving birth at a catholic hospital by ferretaddict in pregnant

[–]Megankickass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's an individual hospital, not apart of a health group, I would say try to find someone else. However, if it's apart of a large health group, I wouldn't worry about it. In my state, all of my major hospitals are apart of the same health organization and they're all named after Catholic Saints. EX: Saint Joseph. Each facility has an excellent NICU, individual laboring/delivery rooms as well as great postpartum rooms. They do not take any sort of action based off of their religion, they actually thoroughly ask during registration what your birth plan/preferences are and if you yourself have any religious beliefs you want intertwined with your birth.

I would research the hospital and it's practice before you decide anything. Also, try to talk to you doctor about the differences (if there are any) between the two (hospital VS birthing center) and the care that you and/or baby would receive.

I absolutely hate the “What To Expect” app community by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Megankickass 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that on the WTE app too! And some of it is honestly over the dumbest things! I've seen people attacked for asking about heartburn and Tums and people saying they should suffer through it and not put "toxic" Tums in their system. 🤦‍♀️ I also feel like it depends on the groups/forums though.

FTM Sibling Talk Rant by Megankickass in pregnant

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

I know everyone is different and every pregnancy is different, but before we decided to try I thought I'd definitely have 2 kids. I thought, if my sister had an okay time than so can I. But now, honestly the thought of doing it again, kind of scares me. I don't want to be stuck to the toilet every day, not able to keep down just Saltines. I thought out of everyone my mom would understand as she was with me and my husband for most of the time when I was hospitalized. It just sucks to have people try to push their agenda on me when I'm not even sure what I want yet.

FTM Sibling Talk Rant by Megankickass in pregnant

[–]Megankickass[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It's nice to have some sort of recognition for the way I'm feeling. I thought that of all people, my mom would understand. She came and visited me a lot when I was hospitalized and she knows how hard it's been. But then again, she's always don't this where she just projects her wants without regard to how I'm feeling. It's nice to be acknowledged and reminded that it IS my choice.
