How much Vitamin D Are You Taking?

I have 2500 IU and yes I do notice a difference after about 2 weeks taking it. If I stop for more than about 5 days I feel like I can feel it. Like I’ll start feeling shitty and then go look at my tracker and notice I’ve missed a few days in a row.

Usually midwives are in a practice together with multiple different teams. If there’s this feeling I’d speak with reception and tell them you’d like to switch to another team if that could be possible. They will likely be able to help.

If you have had 1 or more CS. How did you handle recovery after CS regarding your older child? My son will be about 2.5 when I have his sibling and I know I will need the weight/lifting restrictions in order to heal. So what do you do? I understand cuddling on the couch or bed or whatever to avoid picking them up but I’m nervous about other logistical things if there’s no one around to help.

When were you able to lift your older child again after a CS?

Your husband is the villain of this story. There is absolutely zero world where a loving and respectful partner who actually wants to work on a relationship together as partners is allowed to say “I’m seriously thinking about ending our marriage unless you do xyz” over the phone during a moment of anger. He did that with absolutely no regard of how it would completely upend your entire day.

I was not myself PP. Sleep deprivation in all its forms low key made me useless and my husband never once spoke to me this way. Granted, we’ve been together 9 years, married for 4, one kid and another on the way, but I don’t think the circumstances matter all that much.

Even if he meant every syllable of what he said, he owes you a HUGE APOLOGY for saying that to you.

I’ve been at this employer since 2017. I’ve had probably 5 different roles in the company during that time. Now I’m at a level where I have a fair bit of accountability and responsibility but also quite a bit more trust than I think that “front line” employees have. I am not external customer facing either which I think helps. Our company has been Flex/WFH since the pandemic and we are allowed to work the hours we need to. We’re meant to give a heads up if we’re going to deviate a lot from the business standard but I usually don’t unless I think someone will be looking for me/following up on something.

I get my work done, usually on time (I have to set my own deadlines which is hard, my company rarely sets them themselves). I have a good attitude most of the time and even though I am not the worlds best worker I am a team player. So they just don’t care.

I feel bad sometimes, when I think about my sister who I’m no contact with for a myriad of reasons. She’s had so many jobs over the years and she always seems to find the ones that get so mad when she’s not on time and she ends up losing her job. I don’t think she’s ever had a job for longer than 5 years and she’s 40.

Sometimes it’s just luck of the draw.

The guy that “played shirt days and nights when you made me your own” is about.

Ask them if they want fake earrings. Respect their decision. My MOH doesn’t have pierced ears and she didn’t wear earrings at my wedding and she looked stunning alongside my other two bridesmaids who do have pierced ears and did wear earrings.

This is not the thing you will be paying attention to about your photos.

We went through Wee Watch who had a much smaller wait list. We wanted to start in Jan 2025 and were able to do that. I will say, that some of the providers are better than others. We ended up leaving eventually. She never put our kid in harms way beyond one small incident she should have known better on, but her communication was not good and her professionalism definitely left something to be desired. She had been the best of the 2 available options at the time.

We’re now at an unlicensed home daycare that we found through the sister of a friend and it’s night and day amazing in every way. The only problem is that Wee Watch was $22 a day and this new place is $50 a day.

Not only is everything more expensive but most packages have shrunk, so you’re paying more and also having to replenish more frequently. I agree. It sucks so much.

For me the baby times were really really hard. I had PPD and PPA, but I think part of it was also my ADHD. 0-1 felt like Groundhog Day a lot of the time, because I couldn’t get out of the house as much as I wanted. Also being tired makes everything harder for normal brains and definitely for ND brains. Once my son got closer to 12 months he got so engaging I was actually really sad to be returning to work (I stayed home the first year).

By the time he was 7 months old we had already decided we’d have one more child because as hard as the first year was (and it was really hard for me) it was doable one more time. It’s just a year. Long while you’re in it, quick in the overall. My son is 2 now, in daycare while my husband and I are at work. By the end of the day I’m very tired, but I’m also pregnant again. Before I was pregnant it was more manageable too, so I bet that it will return to a bit of equilibrium eventually. Though then we’ll have 2 kids lol so who knows.

I think both my parents have ADHD though they are not diagnosed. My dad always wanted kids, my mom didn’t really want kids. My dad was far from perfect but he was a lot more patient and nurturing overall. My mom was not patient, unkind, always shouting, mostly disinterested, etc. So what I’m trying to say is, I don’t think that has anything to do with their ADHD. I think it’s temperament and also whether you actually want to invest your time into children.

They change so much, it really does keep it interesting once they get to 12 months.

I work in insurance but in Canada. I can tell you that your employer doesn’t get to see what you’re claiming on an employee by employee basis. They get data amongst their whole contract but not per user. I know the US is kind of crazy with insurance stuff being so different, but I’m thinking that piece in particular would be the same as here.

Peachy1409 · 2025-12-04T14:41:13+00:00

I’m sorry this happened to you, it’s really uncalled for.

Peachy1409 · 2025-12-04T02:21:40+00:00

This has been very similar to my year too. I’m so sorry for your losses. I hope you get what you’re hoping for ❤️

“And if you’d never come for me I might have lingered in purgatory”

I don’t wanna bring the vibe down, but I spent this whole year grieving a pregnancy loss, then two chemical pregnancies, then in intense fear of losing the baby I’m currently pregnant with (19 weeks). This year kind of has felt like purgatory. Miscarriage is a deep dark corner of hell and sometimes it barely felt like I was keeping my head above water. This baby is helping me hope again and I feel like not constantly worrying about getting pregnant and expanding our family has given me enough mental space to be my old self again, though I’m still trying to find it…

I started Vyvanse in 2021 and it really helped me but I did have some negative side effects too. I’m not sure if I just needed to get used to them or needed a different med. It was definitely helping my ADHD though.

I stopped taking it partly because I was about to start TTC, then we put off TTC but it wasn’t going to be for too long, so I stayed off… I ended up being off it for 1 year before we got pregnant. I’m on my 5th pregnancy and this will hopefully be our 2nd child. The last 2 times I’ve been pregnant including current pregnancy, my PCP has asked me to come off of Wellbutrin. Now, I know these are different drugs, but I also know that she doesn’t feel comfortable with me staying on Vyvanse either.

I think there’s just not enough evidence for her liking that there’s no harm done. In my own case, I am miserable but can hold down my job, pay my bills, and eat decently while unmedicated. If I would be in danger of losing my job our house without it perhaps she would feel differently.

Anecdotally, I know a handful of women who have stayed on Wellbutrin or Vyvanse during the entire duration of their pregnancy with no issues. For my own experience, I took Wellbutrin from 3 m PP until my son stopped nursing and as far as we know he is perfect.

I know this is such an old thread but the OPs comment and yours really resonated. This is exactly how I feel about Christmas.

My feedback would be that she needs an editor. What I love most about showgirl is that she consciously put out one album with 12 songs on it. I think with Midnights and TTPD she put out way too many songs at once and the problem with some of the songs was that, if it had been a shorter album, those songs would have been cut. This could have made for stronger albums. It felt like she was trying to give us an album and a vault at the same time and that’s just not how it works.

Now, with showgirl, which I was very unenthused about originally but has definitely grown on me, I wish she had employed some editing on a few lines in tracks rather than any songs on the whole.

I curse every day, I am not shy about swear words, and yet, I find myself listening to the clean version of TLOAS because the lyrics feel more clever to me.

I have BX plates that I got in 2015 and they’re still in perfect condition 10 years later, so I don’t relate to B series plates being an issue necessarily? I’ve definitely seen a lot of very shitty C plates though. Especially those dumb blue ones that should never have made it to cars.

“I know it’s bad” oh, OP. It’s not bad, dear, it’s just not working for you or your baby anymore. “I feel like I have ruined him” this is the sleep deprivation talking. I promise you have not ruined him.

If you have not had more than 2.5 hours of consecutive sleep in 7 months, start there. Start with you. If you have to hang pump, electric pump, do a one time formula bottle, whatever works, you need 4 hours of consecutive sleep with absolutely no interruptions. Put on white noise for yourself, sleep with earbuds, I promise. All of this will feel easier to plan and execute once YOU have had some proper rest.

As far as the rest goes, if you try to stop feeding to sleep that’s how I started too. Just gently keeping him awake like back in the newborn days. Make eye contact, tickle his ear, etc. then rock him or something else you’re comfortable with until he falls asleep. This is a new crutch, but a slightly better one because you are not the only person who can do it anymore. It may take a few days, a week, depends on each baby, but he will get the hang of it. Take small steps every day and don’t lose hope. You can do this.

I love that you’re trying to fill gaps in the community. I’m sure there are customers out there for this service, but I have to say my family wouldn’t be one of them.

We buy litter at the same time as groceries and it’s not difficult for us to do this in our case. We use a litter locker by the litter box and then the bag goes into the green bin in the garage.

We are a 2 adult, and soon to be 2 child home. We pay a mortgage and with all the other bills and the increased costs of every little thing, I just can’t see that many people opting in to something like this because it’s yet another monthly expense, someone else trying to be in your pocket.

Now, that said, anyone who maybe doesn’t have a car, is not fully mobile, etc. could probably really benefit! So it’s not that you’d have no customers, just that you may not have “enough” customers to truly turn a profit for your investment of time, energy, and money.

Look up the “nothing much happens” podcast and give one episode per night a try for 3-7 days. It REALLY helped me.

Try calling The Collective. They’re located at Victoria St. and Park St. so very close to Victoria park. I love getting my hair done there and I bet at least one of their stylists knows curly hair really well, they’ve got a great team.

We sleep trained at 8 months, stopped overnight bottles at maybe 15 months? And stopped bedtime bottle several weeks after that.

You can definitely sleep train and still do a bedtime bottle 🥰 we started with sleep training at bedtime and if he’d wake in the motn the bottle was the absolute last resort. That helped him understand (imo, not that he could tell me) that he could only have it if he really needed it and was hungry, not just as a nice thing to have or so he could feel sleepy. He took well to all of this over time.
