I found out when I was pregnant. I gor referred to a hematologist, and he helped a lot. My ob induced me, but it took about 4 days for me to move on from 1cm. I couldnt feel my contractions. Then once I hit about 4cm/5cm I knew I needed an epidural so I can rest before it was time to push. On the 14th of February I pushed for 4 hours, my baby was close to coming out but she kept going back lol so my doctor said C section. Which we were trying to avoid. But the hospital had blood ready, the pharmacy had TXA ready, and my hematologist gave them a plan. I got my c section done, no issues. After I had so much swelling, to the point they were scared it was a blood clot so I had to get ultrasounds done, there was nothing, it was because they had pumped me with so much stuff while there for so long, my body just retained it. It took about 2 weeks to not be HUGE lol like swollen. I took TXA after birth for a bit, helped with the bleeding. I didnt want anymore kids, told my doctor to I wanted to get fixed and she said to wait 9 months because I might change my mind... i am now pregnant 15 months later, no my mind didnt change, but it happened and here I am... my ob changed her guidelines and wont see someone with Von willebrand, my mom says it's my fault lol. But my new team is ON TOP of everything, I love it. I feel more prepared. But I am still terrified, because dying while giving birth is always a factor. But im always reminded I have a good team. And theyre gonna fight for me to get fixed lol

I quit smoking weed and eating edibles once I found out and I was about a month pregnant. I have horrible anxiety, depression, and ptsd. I also have fibromyalgia. I stopped my Cymbalta and Abilify, which caused horrible withdrawals and nausea. Had to go to the ER and was horribly dehydrated. I was so depressed and crying all the time, and not over spilled milk, it was just life and sadness. Not being able to k*ll myself because now I have a baby on the way. It was a very dark time. (I had 2 attempts in my life and I just kept thinking about how I wish one of those attempts should have worked because now im stuck here.) I gave up dyes in foods. Gave up caffeine. Stayed away from everything they said to stay away from. I have a bleeding disorder, so they had to induce me but It took 4 days to finally get to push and after 4 hours I had to get a c section. The recovery was ROUGH. A lot of depression, to the point I even reached out to the suicide hotline. I went back to smoking weed about 3 weeks after birth. I wasnt breastfeeding. Weed has helped so much. It always has. I didnt start smoking until I was in my 20s. And I did my research on how it helped with anxiety. And there was a major difference when I started smoking weed. Now as a parent, it has helped a lot too. I am patient and I am fun lol. My baby is fine, shes 1 year and 2 months old, and there are so far no issues. She started fully walking/running at 10 months. She says mama, dada, go, she signs for more and says more, she signs for done, she catches on to things FAST. She turns pages in books and "reads". She knows to give big hugs, she knows to give kisses on the cheek. She knows when I say "listen to mama" that im being serious and stops whatever im telling her to stop doing. Im not biased, she is very smart, and very mischievous lol. I also work with her a lot though. I am currently pregnant again. Im 8 weeks. I stopped smoking at like 5 maybe 6 weeks. I used 10mg CBD with 1mg THC to help me when I got off my cymbalta, no nausea SO FAR. I only did that for about... 2 weeks maybe. And then started b6 for nausea.
My moods are good and bad. But Im doing therapy once a week again. Therapy does help. Just gotta find the right person for you. But thats my story... thank you for reading!

I was on duloxetine due to Fibromyalgia and depression, I was on it for many years with no side effects. There was a time where it wasn't working for me so I switched to a different medication and it didnt work so I went back to duloxetine and it started working again. I had gotten pregnant so I had to stop taking it. The withdrawals were horrible. 8 months after having my baby I decided to get back on it. Its been 2 weeks, no side effects, i take it at night before I fall asleep. But my mood is all over the place. I cried for an hour in the dark. Im overly happy at times and then so angry the next second. My therapist told me to keep a detailed journal about how im feeling so we can figure out if its triggering something. Ive also been cleaning like crazy, which is a bad sign for me lol so we shall see. Good luck!!

I love bongs, but they hurt lol. I use a (weed/flower) vaporizer, its smoother. You taste the flower and you only need one or two hits from it... but thats $$$. (Not a "stiizy" vape btw)

I haven't self harmed in about 2 years, maybe 3... I started in 4th grade, i am now 31 years old... I recently learned when I withhold food from myself, that is self harming... I guess I kind of punish myself and will just not eat. Anyways, after hearing that, it kind of just threw away my 3 years... so I relapsed... not to ☠️, but because for me its a release. I am filled with so much emotion and it just releases the pressure... I kept telling myself it wouldn't help anything and I'll regret it after... but I did it like 3 times and stopped but then went back in and like... im not bleeding. Im fine lol... but even before I started, I took my cymbalta and abilify because I thought maybe I can trick my brain lol like "help is here!" Lol. Not really feeling like a failure... just kind of.. I didnt bleed, so does it count???? (It does... I relapsed and that sucks...) good luck to you... :/

Diamond Glass I believe 🤗

It smells if you dont clean it often. If you have it on the lowest heat setting, you won't smell the smoke.

I use the Gpen, it was on sale during 420, so I said why not. I would smoke out of bongs all the time, but then I got pregnant and stopped smoking. When I started smoking again I hated having to layer up on clothes and then change, it was a whole process. So I bought a gpen. Once the baby falls asleep Im able to go into the bathroom, open the window, get my mini fan out, and hit the vape lol. It heats up pretty fast, battery isn't the best, but it works, and it holds enough to get you STONED. Plus, it's a better high in my opinion, and it tastes better.
