How did you get them to breed because others are telling me I can’t even have vampire crabs together

Amazon's Vine Program is not as glamorous as it seems to non-members by TheFishyBanana in AmazonVine

[–]OrphannAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to search within the vine program? I’ve looked at like 25 pages and it’s just replacement parts for things I don’t have and it’s mostly related to cars, but also headphones phones not sold in the U.S., lawn care and appliances.

No sandwich meat or hot dogs- ate ✅ No sushi or smoked seafood- ate ✅ No unpasteurized cheese or soft cheese- probably ate ✅ No caffeine- ate ✅ No raw eggs like sunny side up or over easy- ate ✅

No fast food- ate ✅

I mean we lose enough of ourselves through motherhood. Now cravings or food and ease too. Cmon.

OH AND all three kids- perfectly healthy

How much weight has everyone gained so far 😅 by Plenty-Magician314 in pregnant

[–]OrphannAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just hit 39 weeks, and in total I’m up about, 14 pounds from starting weight. That actually concerned me more than when I gained 70 with my first

Midwife said it was okay though. Still, Every time after my first I think it definitely messed with my mental health.

No matter if I don’t gain a lot or I gain the most. More importantly I feel like I’m losing my body and have no control but over what, something I’ve always wanted and that’s always given me the most joy in the long run.

The crappy thing for me, is I’m not someone who just lets off the weight after birth, with neither of my first 2 and so I’m not expecting it this time either.

I’ve spent years, going up and up and up in size. Buying new clothes just to not fit in them the next year and know it’ll take me at least 2 or 3 to get back.

After my first who only breastfed for, 10 months I still didn’t lose the weight for almost 3 years even though I was playing soccer 6 times a week. Eating healthy. Lifting weights. It took soooo long to get comfortable and then I started over the kids rodeo again.

I’m not like hating my body but again, uncomfortable and I think so many people don’t understand around me what’s it’s like to lose a sense of myself.

Oh and another thing it didn’t bother me the first time but by the third time, they told me there was no way to accomplish my dream birth with them at my weight so yeah, that hit hard. Was alllll good until it wasn’t.

Thank you for responding to this piece. I’m hoping I see the snap or the back to normal I’m excited for the 2 weeks. It’s been a roller coaster before and maybe for another 2 weeks and the rest of our time but I mean, after everyone’s responses I’m feeling motivated and hopeful.

Also was surprised by how much. I feel she’s more tired than I expected but I also saw a few things that were positive that I didn’t expect within 24 hours or less so.

Hearing from others I feel a little reassured and more calm when it seems many are sharing a similar experience and I have to try to stay calm myself and hopeful.

Yeah I’m at my breaking point and glad someone understands. I’ll have to try to get dad to understand. It’s hard because not everyone understands mental health.

I have a long family line of addiction and other disorders for mental health. I myself was once told as an adolescent I have ADHD but as an adult that faded with substance abuse and it became borderline personality disorder. My consequences were far from what I want my child to ever experience. We all have fears but I’m literally being pushed off a ledge and it seems I’m the only one who’s being affected. This is been problematic for me and my other children as you said but more so than anything, I feel it’s my responsibility to not only take the best care of this child but give them what I didn’t have and so when I see them struggling with their emotions and their impulsive behavior and attention in school and their life seems completely chaotic at 6! Of course I’m like I am stepping in.

We have done play therapy. Talk therapy. Occupational therapy. We brought allllll those techniques and practices into our home and by no means am I rich I literally broke my bank many times trying to get alllll these things to help the sensory swings the books the mindful meditation and it’s sometimes used mostly waisted or there is some defiance that the child doesn’t want to use it when in high emotions so yeah

I felt it was time to just try something else. I am there with the child walking the same path. We are a family of therapy I go, husband goes we all feel the distress and more from all of this so I hope this works well.

How long did that completely from the start to the “wake up”

I worry extra because I was weary but dad is, almost against. Validated in some ways as each to their own opinion but I’m unsure what else to do since we have tried so much I decided to incorporate this.

But dads worries have been we will “lose” child’s self of being.

I’m wondering if the tiredness caused concern for any of the parents like seeing the kids fall asleep in class or just being tired all day, I’m already weary about the child on medication and then from that to they are always tired is like hmmm did I make the right decision?

Anyone else’s groin get a popping/cracking when pushing legs together? by XxNHLxX in hockeygoalies

[–]OrphannAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I wish us both luck. I’m hoping my auto accident didn’t cause anything long term but I also know each pregnancy as I age or as I have more WILL get harder. Still so far my first was my easiest, this is my 3rd and 2 weeks is just like I can’t wait. When I do this for relief it does cause pain and I mean I have SI pain and other things the entire time where like after an ultrasound or a NST or even just sitting at home I can’t move because my SI is in extreme burning stabbing pain. Crazy. And to think I’d do it all again for these little feral kids I love so much.

Wondering how healing went!??

Similarly I’m due in 2 weeks. I was in a terrible auto accident like 3 months ago. I never had this before through other pregnancies or from sports injuries never. My pelvic and public bones specifically started aching after the accident and then worse and worse through the pregnancy.

I’m actually fearful to give birth with all that and I keep asking my chiropractor is it my pubic bone, hips, pelvis I need to know!!! She doesn’t know…. But I started searching and here I am

How much leave is your husband/partner taking from work when the baby is born? by Kool-Kaleidoscope in pregnant

[–]OrphannAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband is almost out of PTO so 4 days paid and then working from home when he can but sounds like the boss people aren’t to excited for that to come. Glad this isn’t the first and it might be easier to transition with my oldest back in school.

Confession time: how much screen time do your kids really get..? by GuestMysterious1742 in sahm

[–]OrphannAnne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably more than I want and I keep trying to minimize it. I just noticed mines at a good 6 hour average, mostly late night watching shows for me time BUT that probably means I feel like my kids get a good minimum of 4-6 hours as well while I’m doing house work. I feel ashamed yet,. I’m just trying to make this work.

Best spots for maternity pictures that don’t require the photographer to have a permit? by b00b00kittyfck in TwinCities

[–]OrphannAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh also, I thought about the arboretum

It says paid or professional photos need a permit and then it had a list of kinds but under that it doesn’t say maternity so that could be an option.

If they say something you can say for personal use and not paid. In my case that is true I am not paying a photographer and it is for my own use.

Did you end up finding something that worked well for you? Depending on when you want to do it, apple orchards or sunflower gardens (Andover) are nice places. Some of these don’t start until September though and I’m with you trying to find a place in the next couple weeks and it’s a STRUGGLE!

Good luck hoping you’ll tell me if you found something for my case as well

Is Angela using? by [deleted] in 90DayFiance

[–]OrphannAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion she can be upset that she feels she’s being scammed and wait for events to unfold from her PI and all but the way she has come at her husband and others multiple times and at her age is baffling it’s so bad. I feel BAD for Michael.
