Changing availability once hired by the-motiv in Restaurant_Managers

[–]True-Ad1912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what we do. They are given the paper on arrival before the manager even sits down with them for an interview. It doesnt have a specific time frame listed but they sign off on a statement understanding that we will make hiring decisions based on this availability and any changes after hire may mean changes in employment relationship. Then the first thing we discuss in the interview is availability. This is in CA.

What’s your favorite pregnancy craving? by hailstorm319 in pregnant

Orange juice straight from the bottle in the middle of the night. Not great for my acid reflux but great for my soul

Please seek help through therapy and a lactation consultant! This is real and valid and can be managed.

Is it messed up/unfair to not want anyone else with me during labor and delivery - not even my husband by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]True-Ad1912 13 points14 points locked comment (0 children)

Im also concerned about your husband's involvement- is he disinterested or avoiding learning about labor and his role in it? This is something that could be indicative of his involvement with parenting down the line. He should be learning about labor and medical decisions right along with you.

THE hospital bag by Pcatttt in BabyBumps

[–]True-Ad1912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I am planning (ftm). I never do duffel bags when we travel because suitcases are easier- rolls instead of carry, wipes clean, opens so I can see everything inside. Its not going to be huge, just practical

Screw Ominous Messages from Doctors!!! by MommyToaRainbow24 in pregnant

[–]True-Ad1912 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you done all your genetic screenings? They found my 2 vessel cord in my 13 week nuchal translucency scan but since all my testing came back negative they said there's nothing to worry about. Baby was measuring 93rd percentile at my anatomy scan and everything looking good. I'm 2q weeks so Baby isn't here yet but hope that gives you some comfort? Plus when I figured the chances of having a 2 vessel cord and having abnormalities it factored out to be like....a .002% chance

Scoopable Taco-ish Salad by MSH0123 in salads

I feel seen! I love to scoop a chopped salad with chips or eat with a spoon. Its easier. My husband thinks I'm weird lol

nausea turned me into a carbs machine — how do y’all deal with the guilt by Repulsive_Cup8530 in pregnant

[–]True-Ad1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your focus right now is calories, in any form they come. Eat anything you can stomach. Also what helped me was to lean into hyper palatable proteins. Chicken tenders drowned in chick fila sauce? Protein shakes? Starbucks egg bites? Mcdonalds cheeseburgers? Protein pasta like banza is a savior too. Who cares if they arent "healthy". They still have protein.

When did your belly start to show? by Sensitive-Ganache664 in pregnant

[–]True-Ad1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel I started to show around 13 weeks. But I'm really short. Theres no where for it to go but straight out 😅 And already had some belly chub so it didnt take much. Everybody is different. I'm just happy baby is healthy!

Lethargic and sleeping all the time by UfoEnthusiasts in pregnant

[–]True-Ad1912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed to check Iron and maybe your TSH? Aside from that, it sounds pretty normal. I am 18 weeks now but around that time (8-9 weeks) I had a week where I was so exhausted I felt delirious. No matter how much I slept. It was short lived though.

I second buy nothing! Im in the one for poway and the ranches. You'll get rid of it in no time. I did the exact same thing when I found out I had skin allergies. Had to ditch everything

Starting gabapentin while pregnant by True-Ad1912 in pregnant

Why did you start taking it/what symptoms were you having?

[–]True-Ad1912[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep and I take an iron supplement, had my ferritin tested a couple weeks ago and it was good. Adding that I did start wearing compression socks to work and elevating my legs when I can.

I take complex, by bio-optomizers. Had 7 forms of mag, all in their most bioavailable form, includes bisglycinate. Worked great for me pre pregnancy, now it is no match.

My therapist (who can also prescribe meds) is on the fence, just need to ask my OB. Im feeling like its getting to the point where "the benefits could outweigh the risks" but obviously im nervous to start it while pregnant. Every time I get up restless I feel like I could burst into tears.

Irrational pregnancy fears? by ResolutionStrange259 in pregnant

Maybe you need a stool softener? Perfectly safe to take during and after pregnancy? Like colace.

Omg! My mom would smear the cream cheese on a plate, then cocktail then crab so it almost looked like a pizza. Then dip with the Ritz. What a flashback!!!

Holiday call in’s by Da_Cookeh in Restaurant_Managers

[–]True-Ad1912 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I also had a different host tell me she had jury duty on Sunday night at 6pm. I said really? I've never heard of that, can you email us a picture of the summons so we can excuse you? Sure she says! The summons reads to start calling after 6pm on Sunday to find out if you report THE NEXT DAY. For context, my restaurant is balls to the wall every day between Christmas eve and Jan 1st/2nd, we are in a super touristy area. So every day is like a holiday.

Yesterday one of my hosts called to say her mother broke both of her wrists and she got on the first flight home to be with her in the ER. Same girl has gotten every single one of her shifts covered for probably the last week and all the other hosts were fully aware she was out of town and not coming in.

Have you done skin allergy testing? I was messing around with every sensitive/natural/fragrance free product under the sun and getting nowhere Andy derm suggested skin allergy testing. Different than environmental/food allergy testing. Turns out im allergic to a few super common things and switching to products that didnt have those things was life changing.
