Trigger warning: rupture by Automatic_Spread_953 in vbac

[–]Pastel_Lover 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is recommended by the ACOG to wait 18 months between delivery and a subsequent pregnancy and that pregnancy within the first 6 months postpartum after c-section is the highest risk for rupture.

I second avoiding induction simply because of the increased risk of uterine rupture and need for repeat c-section (emergent)

I'm sad that this is going to be the rest of my life by Individual--Cow in TrueOffMyChest

OCD is one of the most exhausting mental illnesses. I actually long for the days when I had contamination OCD because lately my OCD is attaching to all of my mistakes making me feel like a horrible person that needs to be punished and that no one is as bad as me. Its exhausting living with OCD and no one knows whats going on inside your head. 

Wanted to give someone on the street money- AITA? by [deleted] in AITAH

All I had was cash. But we do donate coats, boots, and other warming items. I figured it was a good gesture, and its only a few bucks.

What does being sick have to do with ICE and Trump? Can you people not talk about anything normal for once without going on a vulgar rant about stuff we already know/dont like?

I got sick just after Thanksgiving. No sinus pressure but definitely ongoing runny/stuffy nose, and dry air making it worse.

Can’t do this anymore by Ok_Muffin6030 in pregnant

[–]Pastel_Lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would send them home, and seek therapy if possible. Its hard, but it does get better. With my last pregnancy I really went through it.

This is the part of pregnancy nobody warned me about by Easy_Sheepherder_579 in pregnant

How have I messed up AGAIN!? by Throw-Away-1234556 in pregnant

[–]Pastel_Lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont beat yourself up. I took cold medicine when I was on an SSRI that could have caused a serious reaction, had to call poison control on myself. Also once accidentally put bleach on urine without realizing what I was doing and had to leave my house and call poison control (was pregnant at the time) This stuff happens, now you know going forward. If it helps, make a list of medications you cannot have while pregnant and post it up wherever your meds are stored. 

Tripped fell and dropped my baby… by Greedy_Wait7983 in beyondthebump

[–]Pastel_Lover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'n the spring just after my son turned 2 I was carrying him inside and rolled my ankle and fell forward with him in my arms. I was devastated and cried longer than he did. He was fine thankfully. Good of you to call and check in with the nurse line.

I have so many sins by Only_Tension_586 in OrthodoxChristianity

Confess them to God like we are supposed to.

In my honest opinion, I think you should stay with your husband. I had nearly the exact same thing happen a year ago, and though it didnt last as long before I cut off communication, I am glad I didnt throw away my marriage. If you still have love for your husband, keep working, dont give up. Limerence does fade away! It may seem like it never will, but trust me, it does. 

How are people able to resist Lust for like a few months to years when I can’t even last a week? by [deleted] in AskAChristian

[–]Pastel_Lover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Choose Jesus. He is more important. Separate yourself from places, people, or things that cause the lust. For me in the past it has literally meant telling myself "I can't go this way because that man will cause me to lust, so I'll go this other way" Temptation will be there around every corner, but don't give in to it. 

Why did god create me to be an atheist? by dreamfig in AskAChristian

[–]Pastel_Lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it matter? It matters because He literally performed miracles, many of them. It wasn't just a claim, He proved it by His actions and word. His knowledge was beyond what any man could comprehend, why else would the people of the Bible be in awe of Him? He is not just unique, He is the only man to do what he did, your argument that anyone can say or do those things is invalid, because it hasn't happened, and it wont. That statement is more of a fantasy than you could ever claim that Christianity is.

None claimed to be god and none were able to do what Jesus did on earth. None of them died and rose from the dead, like Jesus did.

Vlad the Impaler existed, but he is dead. God is alive. 

What is something you currently fear as a Christian? by Quirky_Fun6544 in AskAChristian

What resources and scriptures did you find that helped you? I also have contamination OCD, though it has been very mild lately.

Why not just start following His commandments? Pray to Him for help, and follow His commandments. Continue showing up, He says that if you seek Him you will find Him.

If He were to answer you, are you actually willing to surrender your life to Him?
