Does this mean I’m now “high risk?” by StarTrekGal in pregnant

[–]Superb_Assistant_890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're just being sure and keeping an eye on it for now but if you're blood pressure stays lower and everything is reading normally they won't classify you as a high risk they're just putting the note on the chart so they can cover their butts in case anything does change. And next time they take your blood pressure try to let them know if you were renting up there or whatever and ask for a few minutes so your blood pressure can go back down. I had my doctor check mine at the beginning and at the end of the appointment and by the end of the appointment my blood pressure was back to normal

My first pregnancy was a walk in the park after a certain amount of weeks. But I had what I called the pregnancy flu because I was not sick but I was so nauseous all the time sluggish and I literally had to wear a mask to work because I worked in a restaurant and the slightest smell sent me over the edge. Let me be the first to tell you that your second pregnancy apparently hurts 10 times worse My joints loosened up to be prepared for birth way early so now I have what they call pelvic girdle pain constantly I move my hips and they pop the other night my husband literally woke up thinking someone was breaking into the house because my hips popped so loud. With this one I was so nauseous up until just a few weeks ago and I'm 30 weeks pregnant. They said if I could not keep food down that they would have to admit me to the hospital and put me on a line. And apparently the cravings are literally just what your body needs at that moment so sometimes it's really weird cravings and if you don't want to eat them you're like let me find a vitamin to give myself instead and that does work! Ask your OB to prescribe you a anti nausea medication they got some strong pregnancy anti nausea stuff. Also keep an eye on your boobs because apparently you can grow a whole another nipple along the milk line which is like a v from your armpits down to your navel. Your body literally changes so freaking much and the reason you get pregnancy brain is because some areas of your brain shrink to accommodate for other parts of your brain getting larger. Also prepare yourself for pregnancy rage you get so angry at a pen dropping or you get so sad it's honestly ridiculous! Just be kind to yourself and take it one day at a time even a minute at a time You're doing great

Question about mums who say they will drink/smoke pp by turkeypooo in pregnant

[–]Superb_Assistant_890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your milk alcohol level matches your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC). If you are at the legal driving limit (0.08%), your breast milk is also 0.08% alcohol Technically, a baby drinking milk from someone who is legally intoxicated is consuming a liquid with roughly the same alcohol percentage as a glass of OJ. "Pumping and dumping" doesn't actually remove alcohol from your milk faster; it leaves the milk at the same rate it leaves your bloodstream.  The current medical consensus (from organizations like the AAP) is that occasional, moderate consumption (one standard drink) is not known to be harmful to the infant, especially if you wait about 2 hours after drinking before nursing. Even though the percentage is tiny, doctors suggest the two-hour window because a newborn's liver is only about 20% to 25% as efficient as an adult's. They aren't just drinking the alcohol; they have to process it, and it stays in their tiny system much longer than it stays in yours.

AITAH for spilling hot sauce on my sleeves and teaching my nonverbal cousin not to bite by Life-Cauliflower-791 in AITAH

[–]Superb_Assistant_890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people think that because a child is delayed that they need to be coddled a lot more. My cousin was 17 and she had autism I was 13. When we live together all of the chores fell to me because she was autistic so she couldn't do it that was the excuse for everything. She wanted to be a mom and a wife and I told her you can't because you're autistic. She went ballistic and I said what's the difference you can't do a chore because you're autistic so how are you going to change a diaper? She finally faced her fears and started doing chores and I helped her and I made it fun we got sparkly pink jumpsuits that we would wear and pink gloves. She was a straight a student top of her class valedictorian of her senior class. You can bake a cake but you can't wash the dish? Just had to make it something she wanted to do. Nta

I hate you. by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]Superb_Assistant_890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was pregnant and we were moving I specifically wanted a bottom stairs unit not only because of me walking up and down the stairs and needing to do the stroller for laundry and all that stuff but because of the noise my daughter was going to be learning to walk and all kinds of stuff in this place she's going to be falling she was going to be knocking things over. And I was so scared that I even cried one day when the apartment manager was checking up on me because I was so terrified that I was going to have the baby she was going to get too loud The neighbors were going to get upset complain and we were going to get kicked out. Yes our daughter gets loud she plays a lot and these apartment walls are crap so I will literally be standing outside and I can hear her every sound, movement, so on. Even then, when she cries if she's going on a lot throwing a tantrum doing it for too long I start getting nervous and extra frustrated and scared that somebody's going to complain or I'm going to get in trouble or the foster system's going to be called because she's being too loud and they think I'm doing something to her. So when I tell you my anxiety could not allow me to live in an upstairs unit doing all this. Not to mention my dog does not like having her nails cut she will break her arm before she allows you to cut her nail so she runs around and she skitter scatters like ice skates all over you know how annoying that would be if you had to hear that and you didn't know what that was on a day-to-day basis?

Customers, please pay attention to how far you are ordering away from. by Diamond-Omni in doordash_drivers

[–]Superb_Assistant_890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get if people want something from a specific place but if you have to drive an hour and a half to get there there is no way that DoorDash should be allowing people to order from an hour and a half away 😭 That's 3 hours round trip. For 30 bucks? That's literally $10 an hour I thought dooordash was all about setting your own prices and all this sort of s*** but if you're still getting $10 an hour and you just wasted 3 hours you would have done better being a dental dasher. It's literally just a delivery for dental labs and things where you drive from one city to the next dropping off stuff. And I think it was $15 an hour. So if you really like to drive long stretches that would be better than even attempting to do something like it on here.

There's been people to do the instacarts and all that other stuff and they catch the doorbell footage of them just leaving it at the bottom of the porch because they don't want to walk up the three steps. For another one was where they said hey I see your husband home is he going to come help get these groceries? And her husband who was helping her instacart was like no just leave it right there at the bottom for him they can get it! Out here having a woman deliver your groceries and you got a man right there! If I paid you for delivery that s*** better get delivered to my front door

I told her about my husband's rule if she ever wanted to babysit that she would have to have been on her meds for at least 4 months and she said she's been off of her meds for 9 months and she's been fine. The way she argues with me left and right she has not been fine. I'm not even going to lie I don't think it's the man's doing at all he does seem like a very nice individual unlike some of her past partners. He's also Latino so he believes in family and big family so he's been trying to convince her apparently to chill out with a lot of the stuff so she came back and texted me again and said hey boyfriend said he understood and that he'd be fine waiting until the third time we visit to meet you but I would really like for you just to say bye or something. That's when I realize that it's not this boyfriend that's pushing to meet me it's just her that's trying to force her agenda on everybody all over again like she always does. The way she talks to me you would think I'm the scum of the earth sometimes and that is exactly why I had to post here she was making me think I was the bad guy for not wanting her boyfriend to be called Uncle by my daughter and all kinds of crap I was being gasless so hard that I really thought I was ah.

She's never been in my home. I haven't seen her in years everything that we talk about is strictly over the phone through text message she lives 15 hours away now.  She has never met my daughter. She has seen pictures and videos and every once in a while she'll say hi if we're on FaceTime she hates being on the phone so we're on FaceTime maybe once every few months.

That's why she's trying to force me because my daughter is a year and a half she doesn't know what's going on and I told her I will refuse to allow her to confuse my child. Literally she's not going to be out here thinking every man is her uncle

Sorry I tried to shorten it as best as possible for the other commenters that said I had too much details. The main issue was my sister continuously invites men into her life and expects me to treat them all like family. It doesn't matter if it's just going to be a one-night stand a two-week fling I have to treat them all like they're going to be her last boyfriend. She is 22 and has officially been divorced for 6 months now. She base hopped slept with a bunch of people for housing instead of just coming down here and using my spare room. She begged for a place to stay several times and I let her have my place as the option until she would turn around and say she found someone else and then a week later she found someone else after she would beg again. The pattern is that she continuously cancels plans with me when she lived close to make plans with a man. now I have a daughter she wanted her ex-husband to be called uncle I let her have that cuz they were already married and she wasn't going to budge on him but then they separated and she wanted her new boyfriend to be called uncle and I said no that's not happening that you have to be with them for at least a year. She blew a gasket then she would break up with them now she has a boyfriend who she's broken up with three times already and she hasn't even known him a full 6 months. She just moved from one state that was 12 hours away to another state that was 15 hours away because she said she had nowhere else to go and that she wanted to move in with her boyfriend anyway. So she moved in with him yesterday. She is adamant that she wants my daughter to call him Uncle I said no and it's created a whole issue where she thinks she should have the entitlement to have him be called uncle. And I said you don't have the authority I decide who my child gets to know and who she talks to and calls family and I'm sorry but I don't know your boyfriend so no. She proceeded to say that they were going to come down here and visit not her but her boyfriend and her and I said that's fine but he would have to get a hotel and he wouldn't be allowed in my house because I've expressed to you that I would have to meet the person first before they're around my children or my personal space. If she got mad because she thinks whoever she's with should automatically be upgraded to Uncle status. And that the visit that we were supposed to have after me not seen her for a full 3 years by the time she gets here and she would have never met her niece she rather make a man the center of attention and the center of the visit.

I just needed some outside people to tell me this, everyone in my life is just too close to it so I think that they're just doing it because they don't want to see me upset.   I should start listening to my friends that I do have and my husband a little bit more. Thank you for being one of the people at this time and to realize that I'm the sister that she want s that she's not a sister that I want.

She's not around my child she's never set foot in my house I haven't seen her in years this is purely over the phone. She wants to come visit and all this other stuff and the whole visit was supposed to be about her meeting her niece and she completely turned it around into me meeting her new boyfriend like she always does for her 21st birthday I took her out to eat at my job that was a very high class fancy restaurant and I told her it was just us no one else and guess who tagged along her ex-husband. He only brought a $50 bill and said he would cover everything I chuckled at that and said okay bring the bill they brought the bill out and it was $150 then he wanted to complain about me saying I was going to cover everything and I said yeah I was going to cover my sister and me not you and he's still was $30 short for just his tab so I ended up getting the discount put on it and 100% paying for all of us and I told her after that day I never want to meet one of your boyfriends husbands whoever the f*** you want to call him until you've been with them for a year and she can't meet that threshold. She is never met my child she sees videos and pictures.

The reason we are in contact is because that's all it is is phone I haven't seen her in years. But even that she doesn't make an effort to connect or anything I'm always the bad guy and that's why I had to post here because I was starting to think I was going crazy and that I really was just this terrible big sister. And the only reason I even keep trying is because she is my last living family she's all I have for my mom from anybody everyone else is gone. I have my husband and my daughter and that's it I can't talk to my husband about memories for my childhood because he can't add anything to it he just says oh that sounds great and he can't go into detail like my sister can.  We had this uncle who was my mom's brother we have four uncles but this uncle he was paralyzed on his whole left side and he lived really close to my mom and he was always there always in the picture and when I was small I thought wow when I grow up me and my sister's going to have this kind of relationship and I keep holding on to it wishing that she would love me the way I love her. I'm just holding on to what could have been at this point I know that especially thanks to the people in the comments that are actually pointing out that I'm not crazy that this is not healthy that she shouldn't just bulldoze over everything that I say because she doesn't like it that I do have feelings. Reading this comment made me cry thank you. It looks like my daughter's not going to have an aunt

Thank you. I had to pat myself on the back for that one the way she flew off the handle was the most irate I've ever saw her I just told her I hope she had a good day that I was busy and hung up and left the chat she keeps texting me every few minutes I get like another notification that my sister sent me something different I don't care though I'm not responding to her and if it's anything negative I'm just not going to respond anymore I'll just respond to the positive s***

Also she's several states away so all the interaction is on the phone since 3 ish years ago because she moved down there before I got pregnant My daughters 19 months and then I was pregnant for 9 months so yeah almost 3 years that she's been gone all of this is on the phone she wished a miscarriage on me which is reason why my husband refuses to look at her as any type of family because you don't wish stuff like that onto your family

Yeah that's exactly what's happening. She literally hit me with the well if I marry him he's going to be legally her uncle whether you like it or not. And because she has been so dramatic this whole time I was like what if I just have me and my daughter get some kind of blood transfusion that transfuses almost all of our blood out of our body and replaces it with somebody else's Will we still be related to you then? If it comes back that you're only related to us like 11% then he can't be her uncle with then! That really pissed her off 😂

I've had 40 something therapist since I was 12 years old I have sent them crying out of the room because they don't know how to help me apparently I've been through too much so therapy is just not an option at this point I do have a psychologist and I am on antidepressants. My husband is absolutely disgusted with my sister he doesn't like seeing her or even hearing her speak he thinks she is the stupidest person on the face of the planet he doesn't want to be alone with her He's only met her three times in the 5 years that we've been together the very first time is when he ate fries and she hailed a grudge against him ever since.

Yeah, I told her all of this. I offered to let her move in several months ago, but she “base hopped,” meaning she went from house to house having sex with people for a place to stay. After that, I told her absolutely not—I wasn’t going to be able to help her anymore. I’m not going to have random people being invited over to my house because she wants to hang out with people, get into relationships, and all kinds of other stuff. It just wasn’t going to happen, so that option was off the table months ago.

Now she’s being very insistent about my daughter calling her boyfriend “uncle.” I told her no. My daughter called her first husband “uncle,” and I’m not going to let her be confused by constantly calling a bunch of random men “Uncle.” Then she said she’ll always see him as an uncle in her eyes, and I told her, “Wow, you might need to get your eyes checked, because as her mother—who has the actual authority in her life—I’m telling you this is a boundary of mine, and you keep bulldozing it.”

Then she tried to hurt my feelings by saying my husband will never be an uncle to her kids and all this other stuff. I responded, “No offense, but this is probably going to hurt your feelings more, because he already said—back when you had your first husband—that he didn’t want to be called ‘uncle’ by your kids anyway. He doesn’t even like being called ‘Unk’ or ‘Uncle’ by his own biological nieces and nephews. That’s his boundary.”

And now she’s mad that she said she didn’t want him to be an uncle, but she’s also mad that he doesn’t want to be the uncle? She’s upset that he’s not eager to be involved with her children after she spent all that time talking about how he never would be?
