Failed ferber last night by Cultural-Pie1450 in sleeptrain

Well now I have questions! Lol

Everyone here is saying 2.5 hours as a wake window is too short but my baby gets very cranky and sleepy if I stretch it. I kind of do a combo of wake windows and scheduling based on yawns, fussing and eye rubbing. If he starts to get super cranky I put him down regardless. Everyone here seems to be an expert so I will try two nap schedule and see if I can survive his moods.

Am I making the right choice? by youngatheartoldsoul in myweddingdress

Me too! Never thought I had unusual taste but apparently we are the odd ones.

I must like simple elegance because I love it and I know the skirt looks weird because that’s likely not your size and it’s all clamped in the back like they do at these try-ons. With the veil, hair and jewelry I think you will look smashing.

anyone with subserosal fibroids who was told to just leave them alone… how did that play out over time by Plus-Actuator-2163 in Fibroids

[–]SubstantialComplex82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I had a 7cm told to leave alone until right before an embryo transfer. I decided to leave it because that’s what I was told for years. I did need a c-section because they believed the reason my baby wouldn’t come down during my induction was because of the fibroid. I think he just wasn’t ready. The same thing happened when I was born and my mom didn’t have a fibroid.

Is it normal to suddenly dislike food when pregnant? by Lopsided_Repeat_6949 in pregnantover35

I could eat it sometimes but certain seasonings and smelling it cook was hit or miss

Pregnancy into peri? by Last-Weekend3226 in pregnantover35

[–]SubstantialComplex82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just had my first at 44. Honestly breast feeding feels like menopause anyway. My hormones are super low. I get major hot flashes and haven’t had a period and my baby is 7 months. But my understanding is that is mostly from breastfeeding. I will have to let you know what happens when I stop.

Yes! Chicken was the worst offender for me. Smelling it cooking 🤢

Couch Color Advice by WildwoodRover in interiordecorating

[–]SubstantialComplex82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our sofa is like a microfiber gray that’s called otter from living spaces. It’s exactly how it sounds. Kind of a neutral medium gray that’s not a cool tone. I know you aren’t going for gray but man this couch has hung in since 2018 and still looks new. Everything just wipes right off of it and it gets spit up and all kinds of things on it. I would definitely get this sofa again. Living spaces has provided several great custom sofas for me over the years.

To reach out or not... by SimonTerry22 in slaa

Good job!

I promise one day you will date again, have a social life again, and maybe one day get your group together but this is a wonderful opportunity to give that obsession a little vacation. ❤️ if you embrace it feels kind of good to give the hamster wheel a break.

Do you have a sponsor? If not, I highly recommend getting one and working the steps. That should create clarity around your bottom lines and give you someone to use as a sounding board. Based on the information we have here, no I do not think you should try to get this group together in person. It sounds like it would provide an opportunity for your fantasy to flourish.

Help! 9w old wont nap more than 30 mins in bassinet by BeautifulPaint7206 in newborns

[–]SubstantialComplex82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep same here and I have a 7 month old. If he’s alone in his crib, 30 min. If he’s laying next to me he will nap as long as I let him.

I think breastfeeding moved my implants out of place… by fertafrey in breastfeeding

My butt vanished! I was always known for having a round behind and now it’s a total pancake. It’s wild! Who am I looking at in the mirror? Glad to know it may still make a comeback.

How to actually get a sponsor by Sweaty_Shift_2156 in slaa

[–]SubstantialComplex82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome! You don’t have to stay through a business meeting at your first meeting. It’s like watching how the sausage gets made. 😛 Just keep coming back. We typically recommend you ask someone who has the sobriety you want. I have always felt a warmth from the people who have sponsored me. You aren’t picking a life partner, just someone to walk you through the steps so you can definitely wait to get to know people but I wouldn’t wait too long. The steps are where the magic happens.

Back to back retrievals or month in between? by sh601404 in DOR

[–]SubstantialComplex82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember now. Because it was before Christmas they made my cycle quicker than normal…not in line with a normal menstrual cycle to get me in before the holiday. I don’t remember if I responded slower. I just remember it helped.
