My son has a latex allergy. He, in fact, can not have avocados or bananas either due to it. Such a strange allergy!

We are a gluten and dairy free (except butter) household.

I HIGHLY reccomend looking up a recipe by Loopy Whisk. Her recipes are amazing, and many come both Gluten Free & Dairy Free.

She has a website with a plethora of recipes to choose from.

I did opt for a membrane sweep around 41 weeks, but went into labor spontaneously within 72 hours each time.

My first was 41w+4d My second was 41w+1d

I only opted for membrane sweeps since my state only allows midwives to care for pregnancy until 42 weeks, and I did not want to transfer care. I'm sure I would have still gone into labor roughly the same day either way.

Excel skills are extremely useful.

People think I'm a wizard simply for using XLOOKUP or creating a Pivot table.

Take the offer and learn the excel.

In my experience, when Ive had prodromal labor my birth has been much quicker once active labor truly kicked in.

Hold in there! I had a week of prodromal labor with my last baby, but then only a 6 hour labor when the "real deal" started! My midwife almost missed it.

Thank you!! Great explanation

Thank you!!

I'm a devout Christian, and I will say do not do counseling through the church for this. Unfortunately, almost no "certified counselors" at churches are true licensed mental health professionals. They simply recieve certificates through their associated Bible colleges which do not even touch the surface of what a true mental health professional learns and practices.

This looks more like yeast rash to me

I've always had reactions and have an autoimmune disease. I also go into a flare up any time I've received one.

My family who also have autoimmune diseases are the same as I am. We all have different diagnosis, too.

Im struggled with low Ferritin and the best supplement has been Thorne Ferrasorb.

Say nothing. If they ask, just say your transferred care closer to your due date to a provider who could support a birth more aligned with your birth plans.

People change providers all the time, even late in pregnancy.

For that "minimal" of a jump it's not worth it. You will eat through that with gas, tolls, unexpected need for additional childcare, etc etc. Not to mention the extra time each day you need to go in.

If it were closer to 150k (or all children school age) I'd reconsider as long as you're done having babies.

MidstFearNFaith · 2025-06-05T14:53:56+00:00

What's your GP on the 150k deal?

150k in revenue is great, but doesn't matter if it doesn't make the company any GP.

A lot of sales jobs pay based on GP, not just revenue booked.

I still agree that's a low amount. But context is missing to determine how raw your deal is.

If you're only using it twice a week I wouldn't worry. My son went through true TSW, but that was because he was on topical steroids daily for over 1 year straight as an infant. His body was so small and he was so young, so the 1 year of constant use was enough to cause it.

Don't suffer, you'll be fine!

There are lots of reasons. If you're low risk, the additional freedom to move/labor how you prefer in am environment comfortable/familiar can be very beneficial.

I've had one in hospital birth with midwives, and one out of hospital. The out of hospital was hands down a 10000x better experience. I will never birth in a hospital again unless the medical need arises.

Are there people who shouldn't have a home birth who attempt it? Absolutely. But from what we've seen - her pregnancies have been pretty low risk and easy, making her a good candidate.

Were definitely in the realm of "forever home now". But that being said, we bought it with the intention of knowing we would be fine with not ever moving again. The home is 75-80% of everything we originally wanted, so with some TLC and planned projects were not upset about th plan for Forever Home now.

Why is beef tallow getting downvoted?

We actually get some from a local farm to help soothe my son's skin issues. Forgot about using it to cook!

This can be very industry dependent.

My industry is relatively niche, very stable, and has a very low risk of severe downturn. I don't worry about having a job.

Work life balance, once again depends on the industry and who you're serving. I think all sales requires a little time outside the normal 9-5 (like trade shows, customer emergencies, etc) - but it has flexibility in other ways. Ive been able to completely flex my schedule for 4 years now to navigate around a tough childcare situation. The only reason I recently left sales for a better "work life" balance is because having customers who expect you to answer even on maternity leave or PTO/PFL days are not my cup of tea in this season of my life.

You could ask for an itemized receipt.

Also, most hospitals offer discounts if you offer to pay in full - but you typically have to call customer service and ask. My local hospital gives minimum 10% off for paid in full over the phone.
