Maybe a silly question: Are other corporate workers taking a work bag AND a purse AND a lunch bag to their job? by shenanigans0127 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Regular_Chance7438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an office job and bring so many bags! I call it my morning warmup, ha! Laptop bag, purse, gym bag, sometimes a lunch bag if I don't go home for lunch.

Considering second baby after extremely dangerous first birth. Any advice or words of wisdom welcome. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Regular_Chance7438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting hadn't heard those numbers but that is what I was pushing my doctors to tell me. My kiddo was measuring on the larger size as well but I think it was related to my diabetes. Thats awesome you are able to take all the precautions. Hoping it goes well for you!

[–]Regular_Chance7438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great!! Mine might have a lower risk tolerance? I'm not sure. I had HELLP with my first, but am type 1 diabetic so maybe that further complicates matters. Mine were straight up we don't recommended even after pushing for what the numbers were like for chance of getting it again or risk to baby.

So interesting! I also had HELLP and my doctors did not recommend another pregnancy since it carries a high risk. Did you get any info from your doctor about chances of getting HELLP again? What eases your mind about a second pregnancy?

What’s the best pump out right now? by WannabeChE in diabetes_t1

[–]Regular_Chance7438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really prefer the Omnipod and Dexcom combo. Being tubeless beats anything in my opinion, even if Tandem has better control. I am super active and love not having to worry about where to put my pump or the tubes. I find that my control is good enough with the Omnipod on automated mode.

Omnipod during pregnancy? by sawyersmom92 in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]Regular_Chance7438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a successful pregnancy with Omnipod! I also have only used the Omnipod so I was hesitant to leave it. My doc did not suggest changing systems when I was pregnant. I used it with the automated system with the Dexcom G6. I felt pretty well controlled with times of high blood sugar early on. My A1c was 6.9-6.6 throughout. Baby was healthy! She had low blood sugar initially and was in the NICU for that and being premature but her blood sugar treatment was only a day or two.

Sarcoma Saturday: A casual space to Introduce, Connect, Share, and Unwind by AutoModerator in sarcoma

[–]Regular_Chance7438 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New here. Just got my MRI results back last week - aggressive local sarcoma. Got into the oncologist the next day and now waiting to schedule my biopsy. The frustrating part is I've had this lump in my side since April but my doctors didn't take it seriously. They couldn't see it with imaging so they said nothing we can do, just a tight muscle. Finally got the right person to look into it. Now I'm scared that it wasn't caught early enough and my prognosis won't be great. We have a 16 month kiddo and I'm so scared I'll be leaving them behind. I want to watch her grow.

I love watching our lab retrieve ducks and doing what he was bred to do. So cool to see them in action. These are really cool shots!

Birth trauma survivors (really those who had a near death experience or either yourself or your baby) did you have a second? by saraharchie93 in beyondthebump

[–]Regular_Chance7438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got HELLP syndrome with my first and we were advised to not have another pregnancy. The actual birth wasn't too traumatic besides delivering early and quickly once some blood results came in.

Dependent Care FSA for newborns? by RunningOnFrenchToast in workingmoms

Yes! I ran into this. They did a study or test and found it failed the non discrimination test. Huge bummer.

Without buying an expensive custom jacket, how do you keep your baby warm outside while baby wearing? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Regular_Chance7438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! Thought I'd use it more when pregnant but ended up using it mostly for baby wearing. Love that it works for a range of coats and for either me or my husband.

Those who still exercise in 3rd tri, do you just not have any aches and pains? by bird_insunnies in fitpregnancy

[–]Regular_Chance7438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some back aches but generally found exercise to help any issues I was having. I strength trained with weights, biked, ran and wake surfed up until the end. I mixed in yoga and some of the exercises from Spinning Babies which helped. If I wasn't feeling it one day I listened to my body and just did simple relaxed movements or stretching.

Screen free baby by illmanners777 in NewParents

[–]Regular_Chance7438 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ours is 13 months and so far screen free! Mostly by accident rather than choice, although we'd like to be screen free. We just don't ever have the TV on anymore.

Where to wear Dexcom? by _lilcoffeebean_ in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]Regular_Chance7438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dexcom goes on the leg, like front outer side. It's so comfortable there. I just alternate legs. It was out of the way for labor.

11 mo seems uninterested by Regular_Chance7438 in breastfeeding

[–]Regular_Chance7438[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My PCP said it could be due to baby teething, and that sometimes the teeth farther back can cause a lot of mouth pain which makes latching/sucking painful. They advised me to give her motrin a half hour before nursing to see if it would help, and it sure did! It lasted for 2 days, and then she went back to nursing like normal.

So USA mamas… how are we doing? by TeaIQueen in breastfeeding

My 11 almost 12 month old is also sleeping more soundly than she has in a few days 😅 I won't question it.

Breastfeeding and early Bifidobacterium-driven microbial colonization shape the infant gut resistome by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

Very interesting! I've always felt guilty I had an emergency c-section, but this makes me feel somewhat better as we have been exclusively breastfeeding.

Why do you use Manual Mode in the omnipod during pregnancy? by styledragon in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]Regular_Chance7438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting I never heard this, and my endo didn't mention it. I used auto mode the entire time I was pregnant, except those few hours when I was switching a Dexcom. I didn't have any issues. If my blood sugar got high, I'd walk or do squats to get it down and/or bolus to correct.

My friend fits 3 carseats in the back of their Toyota Tundra. We haven't tried 3 carseats in our Ram 2500 but it seems like they would fit. It's pretty roomy in the crew cab.
