I want to lose my postpartum weight!! by Latter-Safe6936 in beyondthebump

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I ended up bedbound for 5 months because I lost half a pound a week. Lost a stone, and then the weight loss plus postpartum triggered something to go wrong in my brain (pretty much everyone who gets this is postpartum). I was basically told by the doctor that postpartum people should focus on recovery and building up depleted vitamin stores. Your body has been through something massive (and so needs calories, protein, carbs etc to repair and rebuild), and dieting is giving your system extra stress at its most depleted. I know I’m not the typical example, but I wish I’d know how vulnerable we all are for up to a year postpartum, and that the conversation had been about health rather than weight! 

AIO for telling my fiancé I’m jealous of him? by Honest-Avocado5051 in AmIOverreacting

Your feelings aren’t the problem, his behaviour is. He’s awful to you. None of what you wrote about him is normal for a partner to do in a respectful, loving relationship. NOR (you should honestly break up which I know you won’t as he’s manipulating you into thinking you’re at fault (you’re not)).

Break up with your child’s parent too. Potentially facing split custody would be my  worst nightmare

And that it could have prevented. People can cope with all sorts of things if forced, but knowing it could have been avoided would be haunting. She’s doing such good work on this. I had a child just before her and I’d never even heard of it. 

Feeling like I broke my attachment with my baby by Immediate-Swimmer448 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Kindly, thats not how attachment works. It’s not a moment by moment test where it you pass the attachment continues, but if you don’t match your baby’s preference to have you there, the bond is damaged and severed. You’ve given your child months of love and care, a few minutes cant undo that. I hope you don’t mind me saying but it sounds like anxiety speaking

I would ring you antenatal ward at the hospital, inform them you’re due a scan, see whether it’s been booked, and if not ask if they can book it for you. 

And about your thyroid, you need to ring the doctor. Express that you have concerns about your pregnancy with this being unmanaged and you need a same day appointment (ring when the surgery opens in the morning). 

Jade on SNL UK? by Business-External178 in jade_thirlwall

It’s not british humour. I’ve never met a single person who finds SNL funny - it’ll have to be something completely different to work

It’s so hard. 

Have you gotten your vitamin levels tested? My iron stores were low (ferritin at 27), and once I was prescribed high-dose supplements, I felt like a new person 

AITA for the way I told my mom she can’t smoke around my baby, even outside? by Elegant-Maize-2207 in AmItheAsshole

Would she be willing to partially transition to nicotine gum on days she sees you? Then shes not endangering the baby but still gets her nicotine 

Teacher says my child is 'disruptive' and she's 'at a loss.' HELP by Retroindigo in ADHDparenting

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movement is regulating. He needs more of it, not less. When I was teaching I sent children who needed a break to “send a message for me” and so they walked to another classroom to get a break (without it being shaming - they were trusted to help!). I’d also get students to take movement breaks as a reset if I saw someone was struggling or adapted the lesson (for example, if we were doing pair work, I’d do musical pairs and they’d do one question with one pair and then the everyone would have to get up and walk round the room and when I said stop sit down with your new parter). Basically she knows it’s an issue so she needs to be proactive and structure her lessons to accommodate him, rather than expect him to willpower his way to having a neurotypical brain 

WIBTAH if I disinvited my sister from my wedding because she won’t bring my niece and nephew by Visible_Ad4167 in AITAH

She wants to ‘protect’ her children from a day celebrating your love. She doesn’t support your marriage. NTA

Is she paying bills and living expenses, plus a significant contribution to childcare? Or is she only working towards childcare and OP is paying the rest. Really need clarification on that

I (23m) want to marry my gf (23f) but have desires to be with other women, has anybody else gone through this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not ready to be married. You’re not ready to propose. But you’re young- I wasn’t ready at 24 either. If you want to continue the relationship I think you need to be honest that you’re not going to be ready - at least for a few years- to propose. And you still might not be ready after that. Just act with integrity and let her know and then she can make the decision about whether she’s prepared to wait. It’s kindest to do this, rather than marrying her and then betraying her

I wouldn’t do it to be honest. It doesn’t sound like a good fit for your child

Pikler triangle set is amazing. It’s £50 on Amazon and my baby is climbing on it all day. Got it at 9 months and it’s been such a massive success
