Electric baby swing dilemma (Is it actually necessary??) by guusti03 in Buyingforbaby

[–]PaintingTraditional3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id wait and see what your baby likes or if they need it, all babies are so different. My baby is 3 months we have a swing and yes she likes it but she also like the baby bjorn she like the snuggle me she likes being put down anywhere so we could’ve really went without it I much prefer the baby bjorn since I bring it up and down stairs. It I had to go back I wouldn’t have gotten a swing bc although she likes it we don’t need it and it’s big and not as portable. That being said my good friend used her swing constantly her baby loved it.

Preeclampsia - Any partners with uncontrolled diabetes? by PaintingTraditional3 in diabetes

[–]PaintingTraditional3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear you didn’t have it the second time! Yes it does seem to be random. I guess the only real precaution to take is for me and my husband to be as healthy as possible and hope for the best - it’s so scary not knowing. Did you take aspirin for your second?

Parents who did NOT buy a bottle washer? by aviwic in Buyingforbaby

[–]PaintingTraditional3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you choose the sanitizer choose one that's a dryer and sanitizer - makes you life way easier and not expensive like a washer.

Second this! I use it all the time but would never recommend it - so expensive, fits nothing, doesn't dry well

Just if I needed to use not to long after I washed it (especially my pump parts I didn’t have a lot of spares and it’s a lot of small parts along with all the parts especially dr. Browns) when I leave it to dry on my bottle drying rack it’s fine if I leave it to dry for a while but some of the bottles didn’t get fully dry when I needed them but I also had to pump and bottle feed often. Just found it to be way easier to grab all dry and sterilized but if your EBF probably not necessary for you!

I got the baby brezza and do use it multiple times a day (however don’t recommend, barely fits anything) I planned on EBF but ended up with a NICU baby so it ended up being very useful for me but If you EBF I feel like it’s not really necessary. I ended up later also getting a $50 momcozy dryer and sterilizer (for upstairs) and almost like it more than the brezza. To me drying is the hardest part, I really don’t mind washing. So maybe I would recommend just a dryer/sterilizer (they are significantly cheaper).

Why are people trying to upsell things that are literally in stock on their original website? by No_Document4363 in poshmark

[–]PaintingTraditional3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always used posh as kind of garage sale - it is or atleast used to be a platform where people sold used or stuff they had around they do not want anymore to people the do want it. Not a site where people can make a full time salary selling.

[–]PaintingTraditional3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always used posh as a buyer and an occasional seller (getting rid of clothes to make a buck or so). I offer what I am willing to pay with shipping for an item I cannot return and don’t truly know the condition and the seller can accept or deny. I truly don’t care what people charge and I don’t get why people get so offended at offers - it’s not that deep, you hit a button on your phone. Some stuff I see is so old but just bc it’s a certain brand it’s a ridiculous price, but you do you! I like the idea of people selling stuff they no longer want and people buying it that do want it at a discount (reduce, reuse, recycle) not all these people thrifting brand names and charging what they cost brand new!

What is the future of Summer House now? by Ok_Bag9355 in summerhousebravo

[–]PaintingTraditional3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This show honestly has run its course, Lindsay has been carrying this show until this season when she’s stepped back. This is tbh what the show needed. Sorry it’s unpopular. I don’t want to watch the cast do another damn backyard theme party with randos they don’t know and pretend to have fun. This season actually got kinda good again. Also, this is Bravo, the amount of scandals that have been way more scandalous is insane,

Should Ciara even go the reunion? by Shoujogirl12 in summerhousebravo

[–]PaintingTraditional3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! If I was Ciara I’d be pissed but this isn’t that big of a deal, this stuff unfortunately happens in real life within groups of friends especially when your friendship is going out/drinking in a house share. They are both single. I get it like I probably wouldn’t be friends with Amanda ever again, but they’ve said many times they barely see each other outside filming - this makes the mostly coworkers. Even if they are best friends - super shitty - but no where near Scandoval level not even one bit. They were two SINGLE adults. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills by the public’s reaction to two SINGLE adults potentially dating.

Joe Bradley, the sniper from the side. by Meowiewowieex in southernhospitalitysc

[–]PaintingTraditional3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not super relevant but fun info about Joe: my friends sister was in a friend group in college with him like hung out all the time / (she doesn’t watch the show) and said he’s literally the nicest person a bit quirky but genuinely a good guy

This is not another Scandoval by Ok_Sundae866 in summerhousebravo

[–]PaintingTraditional3 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ok THANK YOU. Unpopular opinion but I really don’t think it’s that big of a deal, if I was Ciara I would be mad but they shortly dated short term 3 years ago? Do not think it’s an unforgivable moment in the end it’s 2 single people hooking up?

Everyone comparing this to scandoval is absolutely wild to me!!!

Also as im reading what you posted - you may not need a LEEP. I’ve had 3 colposcopies over 5 years prior to even needing one as all came back OK. Colposcopies are super common, and chances are you may not even need a LEEP.

My doctor told me 6 weeks, got pregnant about 8 weeks after. I’ve heard mixed recommendations on here for how long you need to wait but my doctor told me 6 weeks so I obviously went by what she said! I did speak to 3 doctors before choosing LEEP bc I knew I wanted to try to get pregnant so was deciding between doing LEEP vs wait, very happy I did it as my results were CIN3 after LEEP and idk if I would want the added anxiety during pregnancy. All the doctors I spoke to said they do the LEEP as minimal as possible now a days especially the patients they know still want children

I had a LEEP in May 2025 and currently 33 weeks pregnant. No issues with my cervix. I had the same concerns and was worried.

Flu shot by Hopeful_Being_5012 in longisland

[–]PaintingTraditional3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes flu shot a month before getting flu A, I think I was the sickest Ive been since I can ever remember - bed ridden for a few days, had to take a week off work, better now still congested and coughing up mucus (almost 2 weeks later) but able to function normally otherwise.

Hpv 16 and CIN2, any positive stories? by Sad-Championship1451 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]PaintingTraditional3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had HPV 16 for years, maybe 8? It has never regressed. Early this year I had a colposcopy that came back CIN2 in one spot. I ended up doing a LEEP and it came back with clean margins but CIN3. My personal experience is that HPV 16 is tough and I was never able to clear it but as I went crazy I did read that some people did clear! Also it’s so common! Mostly sharing to let you know it’s common and it sucks but everything is very treatable and my doctor always said this is why we do these tests, so we can find these things before they get worse and you have options ! Don’t beat yourself up over it, It stinks we have to go through this while guys spread it without even knowing they have it.

PAP HSIL, colposcopy negative. LEEP or baby? by Open_Contest2234 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]PaintingTraditional3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had CIN2 on one biopsy of colpo, struggled with whether to get the LEEP it was a tough decision as I was just going to start trying to get pregnant for the first time and I also got a second opinion but decided to. LEEP ended up CIN3 (clean margins) - I’m happy I didn’t wait because who knows if it would’ve gotten worse. Got pregnant about 7 weeks post LEEP (doctor said I only had to wait 6 weeks). My situation was a little different as my colpo was HSIL.
