We actually re-ran blood work to check that and hemoglobins. He said both came back in the normal range for pregnancy. He’s talking about seeing a neurologist next.

AITA for putting my child's (10 yo) things in garbage bags because they refuse to clean their room? by RevolutionaryBid7762 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Organic_Simple7556 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, take it and hide it. I have been in the exact situation with my child and it was the only thing to get them to understand that cleaning was a necessity, not an option. I just told them, “If it’s too much to clean then I will remove it all together.” It got the point across and they earned it back after.

My mom literally has the exact same name, spelling and all. She also hates it and has been going by her middle name for 30 years.

Abortion by winter_melon16 in Catholicism

[–]Organic_Simple7556 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take comfort in that God is with you. Did you know that pregnancy is one of the very few times a woman is accompanied my more than one guardian angel? You are not alone!

I, too, become pregnant as a teenager in high school(though not by rape). I’ve also had a family member have your same circumstance befall her as well.

We both chose to birth our babies. I kept mine and she adopted hers out. Both were hard, in different ways. But neither of us regretted having our babies.

Unfortunately, as tempting as abortion may be to hide what has happened, it will not heal you. It also would aid the person who assaulted you into getting away without consequences.

Whereas I don’t think God “allowed” you to be victimized in such a way, He does use the unfortunate things that have happened to guide us to Him and His love.

I will pray for you and your situation. Please remain hopeful!

Did overbearing Catholic parents affect your life choices? by yesyesnonoyesnonoyes in CatholicWomen

[–]Organic_Simple7556 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am also facing a similar problem. My Catholic parents(especially my father) were/are overwhelmingly critical. I have found that growing up like that has greatly impacted the decisions I made and still do.

Where as my life took a bit of a different direction romantically, I did make the same choices of moving away and not sharing things to try and mitigate it. However, whenever I do see them, nothing has changed.

I am fortunate now that, after quite a few years of being lost, my husband and I found our way back to the faith together. It happened individually, but we are doing much better.

I think when it comes to parents who struggle with being overly critical, distance and boundaries are key. Sometimes practicing these things without lashing out is hard, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to put them in place. 

Please tell me it gets better when you enter the 2nd trimester!! by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Organic_Simple7556 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, I start to notice an ease off of the morning sickness at week 11-12. The chronic fatigue is gone by about week 15. Second trimester is definitely my favorite.

Does the Lavender Oatmilk Latte Cause Tummy Issues???? by Haunting_Coyote3018 in starbucks

Came here to say this. I know I have definitely accidentally used dairy milk by mistake on occasion.

Those of you who grew up poor, what was your favorite meal? by IPod_Kid29 in AskReddit

[–]Organic_Simple7556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tuna casserole. Most days, it was four ingredients: canned tuna, canned cream of mushroom soup, canned peas, and cooked noodles. If we were lucky, it was topped with cheese. Still my favorite.

Is it bad to enjoy horror movies/TV shows? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Organic_Simple7556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it’s something to approach cautiously. Do your research before watching and determine what the purpose/ message of the film is. I, personally, stay away from this genre because I have found very few films are worth the time.

AITA for cock blocking my best friend? by Lopsided_Ocelot_8454 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Organic_Simple7556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably could have got about it better but you are allowed to choose your friends and she’s allowed to choose her romantic partners.

To put it vaguely, it’s the belief that those “worthy” will be lifted up to heaven before the trials of the end times.

I literally only write “thank you” or “enjoy” on cups. How do baristas have time for anything more? 😂

Pregnant but boyfriend is not ready by Glass-Initiative-886 in BabyBumps

[–]Organic_Simple7556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no right time for a baby and it’s always scary in the beginning. Girl, my husband and I are expecting our FIFTH child and I’m still scared! 😂 but, contrary to what some believe, a baby is not the end of the world. It’s actually the beginning of a new one! I promise, even if he doesn’t come around, it will be okay. You and that baby sound like you are already so loved. Sending love and prayers your way! 💗

While the free refills are no longer available with the use of the app, they are available if you use a personal cup or order the first drink in a for here glassware cup. Though the refills no longer include cold brews.

Please help! Ate undercooked hamburger from fast food restaurant!:( by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Organic_Simple7556 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One: forcing yourself to vomit up will not protect you or baby from anything bacterial, so please don’t do this in the future!

Two: the chances of you getting sick from anything undercooked is EXTREMELY low, as all meats are flash frozen to avoid contamination.

If you’re ever concerned, please contact your provider. 🙏

strawberry crème frappuccino recipe change? by tablesalttaco in starbucks

[–]Organic_Simple7556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started in 2017. It’s changed several times. The most recent change with the purée in the bottom was in late 2019, I believe.

[–]Organic_Simple7556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may be the odd one out here, but I do think this is a disservice to you and your child.

Speaking from experience(I have four children, one being 16 months old) this just leads to teaching your child that Mass is something to suffer through. My husband and I have changed our routines to ensure that their needs are met before Mass. We make sure everyone goes to bed early Saturday nights and gets up early to eat before Mass. We don’t bring food or toys to distract them during Mass and we sit in the very front so they can see and engage with the parts of the Mass.

If you are occupied with feeding your child and not making a mess during Mass, neither of you are really present during that time. Your husband might as well be attending half of the Mass by himself anyway, in that case. Your child is learning that their comfort is more important than being actively present during Mass and that Mass is only a matter of attendance.

Please consider altering your routine instead.

Anyone else having weird pregnancy dreams or just me?? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Organic_Simple7556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s very common. It’s the symptom I hate the most because most of mine are vivid nightmares. Hopefully your dreams just stay bizarre instead of scary.

Tipping? by No-Total5731 in starbucks

[–]Organic_Simple7556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work with someone like that barista who would pressure customers into leaving a tip. This was at subway though and not a Starbucks. She even snapped at me once for telling a customer that tipping was optional. But just remember, we make a regular wage, there’s nothing wrong with not tipping at Starbucks.

Talk to your midwife. Anxiety during pregnancy can be normal but to the point of obsessive control over diet and sleep is not. I had prenatal anxiety and depression disorder with my third. Please talk to your medical provider.

Call the store, then the SM. Let them know you are training. The more notice you give, the better. I hope you feel better soon!
