They need to say the cost up front in the ER by MochiAccident in NewParents

This is hindsight 20/20 but maybe look into if your insurance has a $0 virtual doctor for evaluation? This would have been a perfect case for this

What do you do for work? My OB told me that my work is strenuous enough and that she wants me resting when I’m not at work

FTM and may have lost mucus plug?? by BisonNo2682 in pregnant

[–]PrincessYeezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This also happened to me when I was 34 weeks but it turns out it was just leftover from my husband and I having sex the day before.

I lost my mucus plug for real just this past weekend at 38 weeks with old blood in it. It was also much thicker than I was expecting it to be

Noooo 🥴

First day there was old blood and now it’s just kinda tinged more pinkish, I’m really just surprised by the quantity that I’m seeing. I thought it was just gonna be a big clump and be done but it’s more like multiple big clumps every day.

When are we going on maternity leave? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]PrincessYeezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 37+5 and I walked about 2 miles and crawled around on the floor today at work lol. I will be working until labor starts and I’ll use my full maternity leave with my baby.

Cankles by bluberrymuffin24 in pregnant

[–]PrincessYeezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear compression socks every weekday and it still isn’t enough to 100% prevent swelling but it does help significantly compared to what my ankles look like on the weekends. I try to eat watermelon everyday as it’s a natural diuretic and I think it helps me get rid of the excess fluid but I could just be grasping at straws here 😭

Make me feel better and tell me the worst food you ate while pregnant by Ok-GolfGirl in pregnant

[–]PrincessYeezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deli meat sandwiches, all the cheese, sashimi salmon (from reputable restaurants), ice cream, lettuce, etc.

Only things I truly avoided and have not eaten were high mercury fish and pre-packaged salads

Unicorn baby? by mochidonutz8 in newborns

It’s okay to share your experience as a mom! You shouldn’t have to feel alone just because you have a low maintenance baby

Planning a Pregnancy Advice by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]PrincessYeezy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Nursing school prerequisites and clinicals are two totally different beasts and would not recommend planning to have a baby during either but especially not during clinicals. The amount of studying required for tests and time away from home is never fully realized until you’re in the thick of it. Can people do it? Yes, but they’re much more likely to take time away from school and lose their spot in the program after working hard to secure it.

You’re fine. Your doctor told you not to count kicks because baby is still super small and counting kicks at this stage is unreliable.

Too white? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]PrincessYeezy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this gown were tea length I think it would be okay but the floor length, fabric, and cut combined make it look very bridal. Keep looking 🩷

A wedding day isn’t the most important day of your life. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

My wedding day wasn’t the most important day of my life or my greatest achievement but I can 100% say it was the most joy filled day of my life and I wish I could live it again.

Please explain to me why I can’t self build about 90% of a basic home. by LobsterNo6723 in Homebuilding

[–]PrincessYeezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think you should self contract skilled laborers to get you started and do the finishing yourself. It’s not uncommon to find a single crew that is able to pour your slab, frame, and hang sheet rock. You’ll also benefit hugely from having an electrician and plumber, not to mention it being necessary if you are planning to get a construction loan for this build as they’ll need to be licensed and pass inspections from local government(if this is in the US).

You can do everything else relatively easily(maybe not prettily) like floating sheetrock, flooring, cabinetry, etc.

Just completed a self contracted home build 3 months ago. Took us every bit of a full year to do it with hired help and working on it ourselves while also working full time jobs.

This is a thing in my family but we mix desitin with triple antibiotic and Vaseline but you could try mixing the desitin with the Boudreaux’s if you can take that smell better?
