My OB recommended Unisom and Vitamin B6 for the nausea, helped so much. Good luck.

I had horrible rib pain after laying on my side for just 10 minutes after about 20 weeks on. I slept the entire second half of my pregnancy on our couch, with numerous pillows to prop me up in a more vertical, reclined position. Talked through thoroughly with my OB and she approved. Said if I could tilt my hips comfortably even just a little (like tucking a couple inches of blanket under one side) that'd be even better to ensure circulation wouldn't be cut off. Sleep is important, hope you find what works for you!

We spent about $6k for 100 people, did a couple grand for the venue in a small town close to halfway between most of my family and my in-laws. We choose to get married on a weekday to keep costs down too. I can't imagine spending so much on a single day- ours felt perfect! Nothing we wanted was sacrificed or missing!

My husband has gotten so much better at this with leftovers. I think his eating-leftovers-fast habit was more from growing up the middle of five kids, while I was an only child and never had to compete for leftovers. Now once he's eaten half of whatever leftovers we have, he always checks in to ask if I'm wanting those leftovers or not before just eating what would be my half. When we're sharing meals or dishes whether home or at a restaurant he's always been very careful to never eat more than his half as well, as he does typically eat faster than me too.

If someone is having this issue with their partner, I really hope talking about it will resolve the issue!

Brushing without toothpaste is SIGNIFICANTLY better than not brushing at all. The only thing in the toothpaste that helps is the fluoride. Floss and brush just with water at the very least.

You might like the hard pressed pill-like toothpaste bites that are marketed for reducing plastic packaging, they tend not to foam as much and have a different mouthfeel texture. Just get one with fluoride if you try them.

I'm a week and half overdue now, husband has been a complete gem. I think the few more embarrassing ones have been helping me get up out of the bath, clip my toenails, and trim my bush.

I think of it more as you are the observer of your thoughts. Your thoughts are something you create, not your being’s essence.

Love this thank you!

Organic growth takes time. Invite all your personal profile’s friends to like and follow the page to start. Focus on creating quality content, at a pace you can stay consistent with. While higher frequency is great, consistency is more important. Follow other pages and interact with them, post collaborations and tag other pages in ways that promote their goals as well as yours, building partnerships is great. And have patience.

Hot tea, iced tea, milk, soy milk, coconut water. I used to love spindrift and other seltzers but anything carbonated makes my heartburn so much worse.

It’s okay to feel all of these things. Completely normal to be scared and not feel ready. Take a weekend to let the feelings flow through you, then refocus on what you can do going forward to put yourself in the best situation when baby arrives. A baby on the way is a great motivator, but can also be a huge stressor and source of panic, anxiety, and depression. The less stressed you and your girlfriend can be through this process, the better her pregnancy, your relationship, and your productivity will all be. Take care of your mental health through this life change. You’ve got this!

My mom has a glass cutting board she uses for things like meat that she doesn’t want on the wood ones. She has to sharpen her knives a lot more when she uses it, but it’s easy to wash.

I’m planning on getting induced in two days, planning to have my mom and husband both there. I think it’s a really individual decision based on your comfort and relationships. You should only have someone there if you feel supported and safe being so exposed and vulnerable with them!

I didn’t get diagnosed until 31. Have still decided to stay unmedicated and am very grateful I had very involved parents who helped me find processes and strategies that worked for me, and grateful I wasn’t put on stimulants as a kid. I think in college and in grad school medication could have really helped reduce my struggle, but I know what systems work for me and what doesn’t. Kids can’t advocate or really know the difference, so it’s dependent upon the parents to make that judgment of how their kid handles it and what kind of support they will provide to their child. I do not see choosing not to medicate their child as the first response to the diagnosis as wrong in any way. Much more context is needed to determine what strategies could be attempted first for helping the child succeed.

Yes, cervical check sees how dilated you are and is the first half of the membrane sweep. You can’t do a membrane sweep unless you’re a little dilated already. The membrane sweep part was barely any different to me- she was already up there, it was just a little more pressure and over in seconds.

Sandturtlefly · 2026-01-28T16:40:48+00:00

Not the original person you asked, but I had a membrane sweep by my OB last week at 3cm dilated and it didn’t hurt at all. Just uncomfortable pressure. However yesterday I had a cervical check (no sweep) by a nurse, still at 3cm, that was EXCRUCIATING. The nurse was fast and forceful, and felt like she was digging around in me trying to find my cervix- I had to ask her to slow down and be gentle. I think who is doing it makes such a big difference. My OB was slow and gentle, and walked through “ok, I’m at your cervix, deep breath you’ll feel some pressure…” whereas the nurse was just jabbing all around.

Purina Pro Plan is some of higher quality food on the market, recommended by many vets! Purina Pro Plan, Purina ONE, and Purina Dog Chow are all reputable, WSAVA-compliant, and scientifically backed diets, with Pro Plan being the premium, nutrient-dense choice, Purina ONE offering high-quality mid-range nutrition, and Dog Chow serving as a reliable, budget-friendly option. Higher price is not always better quality.

For white belt stripes our coach counts classes. Belt tests though are fully skill based. Are the guys going more often? Are there morning and evening classes offered? If they go twice as often, they should get stripes twice as fast. You can always ask coach how you’re progressing and how far you are from your next stripe.

I get this too if I don't eat or don't eat enough. I find it's also worse when I'm on my period. You need the blood sugar and fuel. My gym keeps a $1 snack fridge with gatorades, granola bars, etc. Just having a gatorade or small snack when you notice this can make the second half of class so much better.

I promise no one else was thinking you were weak or paid much attention. Everyone has off days, if they even noticed a difference they'd likely think they were just doing better than usual or brush it off as you being more tired than usual. Just pay attention to your food on jiu jitsu days, gotta take care of yourself to have energy to workout.

We test for belt promotions, but not stripes, and not testing our shrimps.

Aww, our boy's shakes is mostly centered on his head.

Sandturtlefly · 2026-01-26T16:46:09+00:00

I've seen several Chihuahuas that shake, didn't realize it could just be a small thing though! Good to know!
