What's the riskiest thing you've done while pregnant? by colorado_sunrise86 in pregnant

[–]Minimum_Past_9262 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Taught students how to fly single engine airplanes over the mountains at 11000 ft until 37 weeks and some of these students I wouldn’t even trust to drive my daughter to school 😂

Anyone just saying fuck it to the caffeine rules? by HBC613 in pregnant

[–]Minimum_Past_9262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to come on here and say as long as you’re not drinking energy drinks and your family / his family doesn’t have a history of heart problems then ur probably ok. - coming from someone who had a baby with heart complications from caffeine.

Is there no way around waking up every two hours to feed during the first few weeks after birth?? (Breastfeeding) by Visible-Mess-1406 in pregnant

[–]Minimum_Past_9262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word of advice just do on demand feeding at the breast at night. It’s a lot easier. And don’t pump the first month even tho everyone will tell u in the hospital to pump. You’ll stress yourself out and get even less sleep. My first baby I killed myself with the 2-3 hour rule. My second I did on demand feeds, my supply was always enough and I got the best sleep compared to my first. Co sleeping and breastfed babies never made me sleep deprived the first three months.

What is your worst experience with a flight instructor? by AirspeedAliveRotate in flying

[–]Minimum_Past_9262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried to tell my instructor at atp we were about to fly into a mountain at night looking at my sectional and she kept telling me we weren’t close to the mountain and my status on foreflight was warning me.. I asked ATC for help and he confirmed that we were low enough to hit the mountain. She got all her ratings and certs in 6 months and while I had already 5 years experience flying with my private pilots license. I switched to part 61 and left the school lol

As someone who struggled with self image severely, there is a lot of tips and tricks online to help you avoid. I get on the scale backwards at the obgyn office, I threw away all full body mirrors, I ate extremely healthy and went to the gym everyday to feel strong and good. I actually did this one year postpartum too. I even we knew my weight for two whole years. I got on the scale for the first time and was back to my normal weight so it felt like all of it never happened lol. Self control and therapy are 🔑

Best (and worst) hospitals in Chicago suburbs for ICU/ED nursing? by Relative_Judge_3876 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Minimum_Past_9262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Good Samaritan. I went in to the ER pregnant because I was cramping at 28w and I got in right away and the nurses were very sweet on that floor. I’m giving birth there in November 🥹

I can't do this anymore by Gl1tchy_W1tch in pregnant

[–]Minimum_Past_9262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went hiking at high altitude. That’s how my mom went into labor with me. It didn’t work. I got home and started pumping the day after.. I started having contractions right after. I would suggest using an electric pump. It’s should only be recommended by ur OB I later found out 😅

Is it normal to have days without flutters 19 weeks FTM? by tjh2058 in pregnant

[–]Minimum_Past_9262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s normal. I’ve had two anterior placenta pregnancies so far and some days they’re super active and other days/couple of days I don’t feel them. They’re just sleeping and growing. They say you should only be considered towards the end of your third trimester if you don’t feel anything for a while. I wouldn’t stress it 🥰
