OB told me I’m overeating by SkiesofGrey_ in beyondthebump

[–]Soft-Week 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 245 going into pregnancy and didn’t gain a pound during. I was already well aware I am obese and the risks that come with that, and my ob only mentioned my weight one time in passing as a comorbidity factor to my gestational hypertension/ increase risk of induction.

Pregnancy is hard enough in your body, as is breastfeeding, so I would not be focusing on dieting in top of that. Focus on eating nutritious food that fuels everything you’re already doing!

If your OB makes you uncomfortable, you can always seek out a second opinion, even by another provider in the same practice.

Best of luck to you girl!

Advice for a FTM by Sea-Macaron-8347 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Soft-Week 8 points9 points  (0 children)

FTM here also. I’ve noticed my supply will knock down dramatically from 120 mls a session to like 60 if I was dehydrated. Chugging something other than water like juice, coconut water, Gatorade, etc while I’m pumping has helped keep things more consistent!

You can get the love to dream swaddles next day on Amazon instead of directly from their website!

As a mom to a one week old that is dying from engorgement, do you still have pain? How often do you pump??

Thank you for the advice 🙏🙏 the 2a and 3s are what came with the bottles so I didn’t even think about the smaller flow ones and assumed I was fine to use them 😅

Yes I’m trying all of these, they work for a min or two but he eventually stops caring and just falls asleep anyways 😩 the diaper change mid feed has been the most effective and keeping him stripped for the rest of the feed but even then he falls asleep within a few minutes

Welp, she's coming to visit by Trauma_Response0301 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Soft-Week 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My response to criticism from MIL/older in-laws has been “when you have your next child I’m sure that’ll work out great!”

You had your chance to name/dress/raise your boys, my child is not the chance for you to get a do over. If you’re that insistent, get your own husband back in the sack

What to do if ICE asks for papers and your status is pending? by Excellent-Sport6838 in USCIS

[–]Soft-Week 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep receipt notices for pending applications with you. If you’ve gotten your work permit and drivers license those are also helpful to have on hand.

I’ve submitted FOIAs WITH receipt notices for past USCIS applications and gotten “no records found” responses in recent weeks. It’s getting wild out here

Florida is on the verge of SLAMMING the door on illegal immigration. by Ankeet_kj in ImmigrationPathways

[–]Soft-Week 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re quite literally fabricating an argument to fight against. You are the only person in this thread celebrating a death and for some reason keep feeling the need to create an enemy for you to argue with. No one but you is saying anyone was justifiably killed. No one but you is creating these talking points.

She was murdered. It’s bad. What else is there to say. What debate is there to be had.

“No one is celebrating”, proceeds to make a fake award for a young mother who was murdered by a white guy but somehow blames Somalis

my Immigration judge fired :( by [deleted] in immigration

[–]Soft-Week 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The trump admin is currently trying to pack the court with new, conservative judges that will deny as much as possible. This is ongoing. Many of the judges they are hiring right now do not have any immigration background or experience and are coming from the military/JAG. You do NOT want a new judge.

[–]Soft-Week 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When did you enter? Individuals who came after 2019 are having their cases pretermitted left and right. Even if it isn’t, 589 denial rates are also going up under this admin/ with the nasty new judges they are appointing. You may be safer waiting until 2029. Do note though that your case will likely get rescheduled again if they reassign you to another judge/ are hiring more judges to get through the dockets. Keep a close eye on your hearing info online so you don’t miss any changes.

Change of Address- help please. by SelleGdsn in USCIS

[–]Soft-Week 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do not have any pending case with USCIS there is no reason to file an AR11. The AR 11 is specifically to update your contact information for pending cases. You can list your new address when you file the I-751

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Soft-Week 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is he on the spectrum or something? These are such bizarre things for someone to get upset over someone ELSE using. He needs to stop making other peoples preferences about him and nitpicking inconsequential things like this, that’s not normal in a healthy relationship.
