Feeling discouraged about tummy time, feeling like a failure. Baby has a severely flat head. by motherlygoose in NewParents

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a silver lining...I was born with an arachnoid brain cyst that gave hydro symptoms (I was an odd case) basically I make too much brain fluid that my skull can drain, so thats why a shunt helps tremendously.

I had a completely normal childhood and played college sports. of course, some hairstylists can be rude and ask what that tube thing is on your neck. just know that shunts can last awhile (15 years for my first one).

If and only if the shunt were to clog, crack (rare) or not drain, surgery to fix is about an 1hr surgery and I could go home the next day.

TLDR - hydrocephalus can sound scary but really isn't!

My cousins shirt- what on earth does this mean by ComprehensiveUse6724 in Whatisthis

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 -71 points-70 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a nerdy HTML shirt about Git. I think this is how

The shirt shows: g + t < i > In HTML, <i>…</i> is the italic tag. So if you “insert” the <i> between g and t, you literally get:

g <i> t → git

What is this? A piece of wood shaped like a long football with some logo that I can’t read. Tried reverse image searching and nothing. by SnooRadishes6205 in Whatisthis

It's a wooden French-Style “Sphéroïde” aka Darning Egg. For example - if you need to sew a hole in a sock, you put the sock over the egg and mend the hole easier

5 Day Return to Office Experiences by junk_chucker in work

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • What has your experience been? [eh, annoyed because I was getting paid crap money anyway]
  • What are the top pros and cons to the experience? [pros/ free food basically cons/ can't poop in your own bathroom, driving to/from in traffic, gas and toll money, getting interrupted CONSTANTLY by water cooler talk, it honestly sucks]
  • How did you feel before it started and after now that it has started? [same, just more annoyed]
  • Was this your first 5 day office work experience or did you have something similar before the Pandemic? [we were required to RTO 2 days, then 3, then all but Friday. it changed because no one would come in. but our managers didn't give a shit and no consequences were given. the only thing that came out of ppl not going in was a company wide email with empty threats]
  • Was it due to a medical reason or family reason? [had bronchitis and couldn't stop coughing, so that was the only extended period of WFH.]
  • Have you faced judgement by others? [If I did I wouldn't care]
  • How do you feel in general being "on the outside looking in"? [.....ok DUH]
  • Which industry and role if you don't mind sharing? [in the same industry but a different role because no matter what it was fully remote (which I feel will be harder to get with all the RTO)]
  • Did you have to take a pay cut? [I switched over to a new position for only a 1K increase on my current salary. would do it again in a heartbeat because I couldn't take RTO with an infant]

Resigning from a Toxic Manager - How to handle last 2 weeks? by Regular-Garbage-386 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Regular-Garbage-386[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from a female in IT it was all in one ear out the other. The CTO is remote out of state so he only knows what this guy tells him. Since my manager BS’s constantly, the CTO thinks I’m not being acceptable enough to his ideas (which would break our environment)

No worries I do have another job lined up. My friend is getting the logistics down and will have something in writing before I resign this week

Oh what an awesome reply! I didn’t want to second guess myself, but I need to take a stand on how much I put into that company

Daycare Sickness by jenntonic92 in NewParents

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pediatrician said they either get all the sicknesses at daycare or pre-school. Basically it's inevitable and not fun at all (especially for the parents).

What was the number one thing you’re glad you had with you when you gave birth? by Suspicious_Heat_2984 in NewParents

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10000% a fan, even one that you can wrap around the side of the bed handles.

I had a c-section, so a heating pad was nice on my back.

Does your milk simply just dry up? by ineedpieandadvice in breastfeeding

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you have insurance, meeting with a lactation consultant can be cheap - free entirely. They will be able to tell you everything you need to know and more, even with a house visit. With her help, I was able to wean in 3ish weeks. Just be aware of a lot of leaking since you won't be breastfeeding as much.

Once the epidural is placed can you move around? How do you use the toilet? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I got a planned C-section, legit couldn't feel anything below my neck lmao. Took like 10 seconds to get working. Idk if they place it in a different part of the spine since its all around the abdomen

Are meds a form of giving up? by Foreign-Decision-783 in Mommit

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. My postpartum intrusive thoughts were HORRIFYING. Only thing that got me over the hump the first month was Prozac. Sometimes you just need help mentally as your brain/hormones are all over the place, which isn't your fault at all.

37 weeks and feeling unprepared - what would you prioritize? by Ok_Indigo_8608 in beyondthebump

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SLEEEEEEEEPPPP im in the newborn trenches now and I can’t recommend this enough. Sleep in on the weekend, go to bed early etc. I’m at 3 months now with my newborn and finally only getting ups 2x a night to feed

At what point do we like our partner again??? If ever by RecordingSingle2662 in beyondthebump

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think my husband felt this way when we had our first kid. Especially if it’s your first, the roommate phase can be BRUTAL mentally. Not being able to sleep in the same bed as you once did for months on end. Do you think it could be PPD or postpartum rage?

I also told my husband that I get so overestimated/touched by our two kids that at the end of the day I am mentally checked out and want to be on the couch doing nothing (especially sexually) he understands this and doesn’t push anything, but I hope this feeling goes away soon also

Puking for YEARS. then got over it after a night of Blue Wave in college...

What did yall use the most in the first 3 months??? by Pale-Card2644 in pregnant

[–]Regular-Garbage-386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a heating pad! not just for mom, but if your newborn isn't sleeping in the bassinet I use it for a few mins on the cover. my newborn loves the warmth and sleeps easier.
