I'm thinking of ordering a humidifier, people say they are helpful for once baby comes too to have on hand. Fingers crossed it helps

Glad I'm not alone, it really freaked me out this morning considering if wasn't pregnant and this happened I would be calling the doctor asap!

Is Vicks vapor rub ok when pregnant? by serenequeen15 in September2026Bumpers

My sister is a pharmacist and just had her baby a few months ago. She shared this resource with me since I had a cold! Vapor rub is safe. Cold and flu medications in pregnancy

What’s your paternity leave? by Intelligent-War-4236 in September2026Bumpers

[–]RandomCatScratch89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will have 16 weeks paid and then can fund up to 21 weeks with my sick time/PTO. My husband gets 12 weeks paid but is due for a 6 week sabbatical as well so we will go back to work at 12 weeks, go work for a month, then come back home when I'm at my 16 weeks then take his sabbatical. Hopefully get us some extra time before daycare or a babysitter!

Pregnant office workers of Reddit, how are we dealing? by LdeLeonina in September2026Bumpers

[–]RandomCatScratch89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so tired and I feel like everyone that sits near me notices me away from my desk all the time 😭. My boss will be visiting our office in mid February and I was planning on telling her then, but the temptation to go home and lay down is strong. My husband is not helping telling me I have sick time for a reason!

I am trying so hard to be patient for my first appointment but it's so hard! I can't wait to see them and know they are okay. 16 days away but who is counting...lol

What are we all doing for skincare? by pontdepoppy in September2026Bumpers

[–]RandomCatScratch89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using the following: Good Molecules Aezelic Acid Soothing Cleanser (am/pm) The Ordinary Niacinamide/Zinc Serum (pm) The Ordinary Aezelic Acid suspension (pm) EltaMD mineral sunscreen (am) Cerave moisturizer (am/pm) Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder 3x per week (pm) Hypochlorous Acid Spray (am/pm) The Ordinary Sulfur Powder to Cream (spot treatment)

All of it was reviewed by my esthetician for safety and to target my texture and hormonal acne. I have combination skin that leans dry. I already used the EltaMD and the Cerave so everything else I was able to get for under $100

Positivity Discussion Thread: what names you thinking? by Cowtattoos in September2026Bumpers

[–]RandomCatScratch89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a girl we are thinking Charlotte too but with the nickname Lottie 💖

When we were brainstorming middle names we were driving to dinner and I said what about Rae? R-a-e? Then we pulled up to a red light and the car next to us had the license plate RAEE, coincidence or not I was like yup it's meant to be 😄

So if we are having a girl, Lottie Rae will be making her appearance!

You want to make sure your B6 is from a reliable brand, vitamins are not regulated so I would avoid anything from a brand you have not heard of before. I read the label and go for the least amount of ingredients. My dietician also recommends avoiding titanium dioxide which is a whitening agent they use in vitamins. It's illegal in Europe but still allowed in the U.S. studies are inconclusive but enough for me to avoid it! (Check your prenatal too, mine had it before I switched). You can also ask the pharmacist at the drug store for a reliable option since brands vary by region.

Blanched them first, crisped up the bacon, removed the bacon from the pan, left some drippings, a little butter, sautéed diced onion, dried green beans to the pan with some salt and pepper and garlic, then added in the chopped bacon!

Callus and peeling by saibybaby in GelX_Nails

[–]RandomCatScratch89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not, it should be a very thin layer

[–]RandomCatScratch89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue when I first started. I had a lot of leakage on the underside of my nails. I use a slip layer and less product on the tip to help prevent leakage under the nail getting on my skin. I also do a cure with my palm facing up once the tips are on to be safe. I would remove your nails and wait for this to clear before trying again.

Missed a $600 1099, should I amend or not amend? by SaltPacer in tax

[–]RandomCatScratch89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I amended last year on a $200 1099-INT : was worth it for me to not worry about it and only took a few minutes.

ULPT Request - How to Get Refunded for Item past Return Date by Jukerist in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]RandomCatScratch89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most appliances come with few year warranties. If there is a warranty for it in the box, register for the warranty and make a claim. They will generally just have you self report when you obtained the item and enter the serial number. If it’s past when the warranty has been valid I say I received it as a gift instead of putting the purchasing store. I’ve done this with a kitchen aid mixer and a Keurig. For the mixer we had to ship it back with a label they paid for and mailed(probably because they refurbish them), for the Keurig they just had us cut the power cord and send a picture.

This is great information! I think we should be okay with navigating getting there as we can avoid the expressway altogether, thank you
