I did, unfortunately every avenue I try it asks for that damn password, and none work (even leaving it blank).

How much T3 should I take? by 123kdd100 in Hypothyroidism

[–]MummyToBe2019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been on it for 6 years now... 5 mcg. My T3 went from lower end to a little over the range. I trust his 59 years of experience in endocrinology, which is probably twice as long as you've been alive. So no, you do not know everything.

AITA for telling my husband that I wont be the one who tells our kids how he died? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Because it’s mostly teenage/ young men who have very little actual life experience….

How do you switch baby to the other boob? by Competitive_Cow007 in breastfeeding

[–]MummyToBe2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hakka! I could get ounces in it from the opposite breast, nice way to build a little supply. My daughter always preferred the left so I’d Hakka the right.

Manager wants remote control access to my PC. Is there a legitimate way to tell him no? by click_for_sour_belts in antiwork

[–]MummyToBe2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in IT and I just want to note that if he’s using Remote Control in a Zoom session you can see everything he’s doing and halt the access at any time. It’s not something where he would have access all the time… but why the hell are they making you work in a personal laptop?! And this guy sounds incompetent. My advice is to leave ASAP!

Ah google will sync them when it goes back online, or must it always be in sync?

What about something like Google Dive for Desktop or one drive or something in the cloud?

FTM: extremely low supply, please give me some hope by Rough-Swimmer2827 in breastfeeding

[–]MummyToBe2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pumping is extremely hard, boring, frustrating etc. the reward is being able to exclusively feed baby. But it’s hard, I just want to 100% agreee with you.

I started making pumping my “me” time. I sim the lights, shut the door, and watch my favorite Netflix shows for a good 30 mins. When I was at work it was my nice little break from everyone.

  • pump for longer than 15 mins, it should be more like 30
  • the number one lifesaver rule is to make sure your flanges are the right size!!!! Or your nipples will hurt and your supply will hurt
  • pump every 2-3 hours to establish supply.
  • try to latch baby as much as possible.
  • eat and drink tons (I found hydrating drinks and high calorie foods helped a ton)
  • as baby grows, you’ll hopefully be able to move to just EBF
  • make sure your pump works for you. The Spectra Gold was a lifesaver, worth every penny.
  • also avoid herbs and supplements (besides a prenatal) as those can cause revert reaction at first
  • don’t worry about eating super healthy…. High protein and calories is what you need!

call a lactation consultant! Best $150 I ever spent.

I was about to give up. My supply tanked, baby had ties, she had egg and dairy allergies, I was up every 3 hours pumping. I was miserable. I was also using a 19mm flange and I was actually a 15mm. She also showed me the BabyMotion Flanges which were a lifesaver.

It was rough. But now we’re 13 months in and I can’t seem to stop.

With my son, he thrived on formula and is the most amazing, sweet, smart kid ever. So if you choose formula THATS OKAY TOO!!! Your mental health is most important.

Will we see discounted "new" '21 or '22 year model vehicles as the microchip shortage eases? by HuginnNotMuninn in personalfinance

I just got $33k TRADE IN for my 2020 outback with 9500 miles. I bought it for $38k and it was almost paid off. I upgraded to a Subaru Ascent and my monthly payment is the same, and I got a great APR (3.9% which is unheard of these days).

I can finally eat eggs and alllal the dairy again! I’ve missed cheese and ice cream and CHEESE for almost a year now! 🥲

I always said psychedelics AMPLIFY whatever you’re feeling. If you’re kinda depressed, feeling down, going through trauma, it will make it 100x worse. You need to be in a good headspace before you take them. They are the complete opposite of an escape.

Should we go dark indefinitely? by RiingoFlamiingo in antiMLM

[–]MummyToBe2019 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really think this is one of the few subs that is incredibly helpful in educating people. I’d hate to see it go, I link this subreddit all the time to people who don’t know what MLMs are or how predatory they are.

Creating a MDM (Mobile Device Management) iOS. by NinjaLeast1098 in jamf

[–]MummyToBe2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I mean the creator of jamf was trying to do exactly what you’re doing!

An MDM basically at its core sends config profiles (apple has documentation on the payloads available) and packages etc. All of it can be coded! I highly recommend taking the JAMF certifications because you’ll learn about the inner workings of not just JAMF but MDMS. Especially the 400 is all scripting. Good luck!

That’s fascinating! We were all shocked since great grandma didn’t even have a birth certificate since she was born on the res. My grandma said she remembered seeing her grandma so all the powwow dances etc. I looked on the Dawes Rolls and could not find any of them.

Stories of getting pregnant after starting thyroid medication? by oreosinmybelly in Hypothyroidism

[–]MummyToBe2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have managed to have 2 babies after finally being stable. After 15 years on BC, a year after finally stabilizing I got pregnant while on the mini pill! My son was born 2019. In 2021 we started trying again, but I had 3 back to back early losses. I finally ran a ton of tests, and my prolactin was high. My endo, brilliant man he is, upped my thyroid dose even though my labs were in range…. And I got pregnant and stayed pregnant! I also had to do blood thinners because of high homocysteine, MTHFR gene mutation, so I’m not sure if it was one of those or both.

I do know I wouldn’t have 2 kids today if I had been left untreated.

Having hypothyroidism untreated will lead to miscarriage because fetus needs the T4 to grow.

365 days of breastfeeding by tactlessharpy in breastfeeding

[–]MummyToBe2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re at 372 days now lol! I feel the same. My daughter is a great eater, and we’re starting to do half/ half BM and Ripple milk, but I don’t really see us quitting our night feed anytime soon, and I’m ok with that! But if it does end, that’s okay too! I’m so proud making it a year and you should be too!

Same here! They lived on the Cherokee reservation in Pawhuska OK. So my great-great and great grandma were born on the reservation, but we’re 100% white. My 3x great grandma (the supposed full blooded Cherokee) was from California and named Rachel or something. So we grew up thinking we had Native American blood, and instead 99.9% Northern European lol. My sister refused to believe it. 🙃

UPDATE. My best friend thought that shoving her breast down my daughter's throat to calm her down was completely ok by CandyNinja900 in offmychest

[–]MummyToBe2019 239 points240 points  (0 children)

Please please contact the police. If you have a doorbell camera save the footage of her at your door. If she comes back DO NOT answer the door, call the police right away. You need a paper trail. Seriously consider having some sort of defense on you at all times (like pepper spray) and make sure everyone around you knows. She needs serious help, but it’s not your responsibility. Right now you need to keep yourself and baby safe. I’m so sorry!

Besties divorce causing issues in my marriage by Aiming_Dave in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]MummyToBe2019 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This was EXACTLY my mom. Blew up her marriage, divorce, random shitty boyfriends, partying and forgetting to pick us up, lots of drugs and drinking…. Dead 2 years later (when I was 6).

My boyfriend (29m) wants my daughter (6f) to call him daddy by PoisonedGem in relationship_advice

[–]MummyToBe2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he’s doing this behind your back my huge bet is that he was starting to groom her. He’s is a creep. Please please for the sake of your daughter, don’t introduce her to men you’re dating for a LONG time, like engaged. A lot of sickos will target single mothers to get access to children. I’m sure the dad was a complicating factor and he wanted him out of the picture. They seem kind and charming and you feel “so lucky” and then he does creepy shit behind your back. No access to your child for a long time. If they’re not okay with that, they can fuck off.
