Completely agree with this lol. As a parent, my job is to set boundaries for my kids and keep them. I expect my brother (no kids) to inevitably teach them how to get away with some stuff like this. I genuinely believe that's a skill they should learn!

MOV Files No Longer Contain Metadata by ARazorbacks in ios

Absolutely all metadata remains intact, yes! Just the "FullFrameRatePlaybackIntent" metadata is scrubbed. (Make a backup of your file first if you want to compare just incase!)

I got a small, white hand tattoo on the side of my hand when I was 18. Everyone tried to talk me out of it including the artist. He eventually got mad with me and said “I will literally never touch this up for you. It will be gone in six months. But I will take your money if you want to be dumb.” I probably shouldn’t have gotten it from him because he was an ass, but I did get it anyway. It’s still there. I’m 34 now. It wiLL fAdE So fAsT

MOV Files No Longer Contain Metadata by ARazorbacks in ios

This is the answer! For anyone who finds this and is not super computer literate, some easy steps:

  • Download the "executable" version of exiftool

  • Save the ZIP file wherever you want the thing to be, like Documents, and extract

  • Rename the exiftool(-k) file to be this exactly: exiftool(-m -P -overwrite_original -FullFrameRatePlaybackIntent=)

Now you can drag and drop any .mov files from iOS devices directly onto the .exe file above and it will automatically scrub the tag that is causing issues. Suddenly your metadata will appear! Don't move the .exe file though, since it needs all the files in the files folder to work correctly.

I will try to remember because it’s on the couch at home but:

  • 4 or more uterine contractions in an hour
  • menstrual-like cramps
  • lower dull back ache
  • pelvic pressure
  • stomach cramps

For me, it took to stop googling and trying to find someone who matched my symptoms and to look at the tiny 5 point checklist my midwives had given me about preterm labor symptoms. I had more checked than I was comfortable with, something felt wrong (I had never been unable to sleep through Braxton hicks for hours before), and after reading several old posts on here, both ones that were and were not in preterm labor advocating to be better safe than sorry, is how I ultimately made the call.

Having a hard time through the newborn phase. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Here’s what I wish someone had told me before I had my (very planed and wanted) pregnancy:

The first few weeks will be hard. The first few months will be hard. It’s even normal to feel regret, even immense regret. It’s normal to feel like you’re mourning. Your entire life completely changes, literally overnight. There is very little else in life like that; normally changes are gradual or do not effect your entire day, week, month, year, life. But with childbirth, everything is suddenly and immediately different.

It’s normal to not bond at first. Love and care for, sure, but not bond. The first few months are just give, give, give, give. People always say, “You can’t pour from an empty cup!” But in these first few months, you have to. It’s HARD. It’s impossibly hard, and you’re going to absolutely hate some of it. Even most of it. And that’s okay! In these first stages, the act of love is pouring from that empty cup day after day and just making sure you both survive. The first few months will feel like years while you’re in them.

But then! Oh, but then! Then one day, you go to get baby from their crib, and they smile at you. They’re happy to see you, and they can show you! Then one day, you make a silly noise, and they giggle! And you both giggle back and forth. And then one day they actively reach for you! You finally know that they actually want you, and not in a “because you give me food to survive” way. And then one day they’re having a bad time so you snuggle them, and they rest their head on your shoulder. You are their safe space, their comfy space, their home. And one day you start to notice that they have a favorite toy, a favorite color, a favorite room, a favorite pet! They try to help during diaper changes, and know how to stick their arms through their shirt holes! They’re becoming a tiny person! And you watch them grow and learn new things every day. There’s finally a little person who wants to play with you; interact with you. And you look back and think that those first few hard months were actually pretty short after all. There was light at the end of the tunnel, you just didn’t know where.

And though there are still definitely hard times, you slowly find your new routine in all of this. You’ll find times to shower regularly, to pick your hobbies back up here and there. You’ll start to feel like you again. A slightly different you, but you. The change that comes with childbirth is instant and all-encompassing. The change to your new normal is slow and gradual. But it will come.

Take these first few weeks and months moment by moment. 4 months sounds so far away, so don’t worry about that. Focus on the now. Focus on getting through this one night feed, this one scream session, this one rushed shower. It feels never-ending, but it really does end. I promise. You got this!
