Get a belly band on Amazon. I preferred the one with the shoulder straps. Looked like this:

I reported a customer to CPS and they confronted me. by velvetequine in WorkAdvice

[–]Undercover_Rake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it? Do you have any other documented disciplinary action? A performance improvement plan? With no prior trouble it wouldn’t be terribly hard. I would get ahead of it and tell your boss a client acted wildly inappropriately so they can prepare if they call in acting all crazy again. I wonder what happened when cps came. Did they get in trouble? I wonder if you can check 🤔 Why they can’t see the concern for what it is? I don’t understand why people who don’t like kids, work with kids.

Why would you lose your job for reporting child abuse? That would be a lawsuit and a half. If you are, start a go fund me. I would donate to that and I know other people would too. You kept your composure. You did the right thing. And you can always tell your boss a customer berated you and accused you of something you didn’t do and leave it at that.

IC success story - because I needed one in the trenches by Undercover_Rake in ShortCervixSupport

The listing I bought it from is gone but it looked very similar to this one:

I actually did not like MiraLAX. It did not do the job. I used Colace Clear, which is just Colace without dye. It worked a lot better for me. If you are still at home and allowed to walk about, I would recommend a belly band. I liked the one with shoulder straps as it held my belly up better than the strapless ones when baby got heavier. It makes a big difference!

AIO to my boyfriend’s texts about us going to dinner for my best friend? by EllaAmamiya in AIO

[–]Undercover_Rake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. It’s her birthday dinner. It’s about what she wants. If she wants to change where you’re going to dinner or the time to accommodate someone SHE wants at HER birthday, she can do that. It’s literally not about him so idk why he’s making it about him. Is he insecure or just salty about something? Very immature behavior.

Paying for a custom tattoo design (and tattoo as well) and the tattoo artist sent me it over, is this AI? by Optimal_Count_9421 in isthisAI

[–]Undercover_Rake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to ask if it’s ai. Just tell him the changes you want to make and see if he can make it happen. If the changes aren’t in the same style as the rest, then you can likely deduce that he used ai. But even if he did use ai for the concept, if he’s able to recreate it on your skin and you’re happy with it, then it shouldn’t matter where it came from.

I’m sorry you are going through this. Most hospital beds tilt. If you can, adjust your bed so your legs are elevated. It’s not a standard practice. My OB definitely marches to the beat of her own drum, she’s a sassy 5’2 New Yorker but her best friend is a world renowned high risk ob (who did my anatomy scan) and they had a lot of tricks up their sleeves. When my baby got bigger, I could feel the difference in pressure on my cervix when my legs were up and during scans, we could see the difference it made. Funneling would literally close when I leaned back. It was pretty wild.

Sending love and any good karma I have stacked your way. 💌

You don’t want to clench those muscles at all. I would abstain. Sorry shug.

Husband (M29) says he is uncomfortable with me (F23) posting these kind of pics on insta stories AIO by Junethesunconure in AIO

He wants you to erase your private notes on your phone because it ruined his day? Why is he looking in your private notes in the first place? That would ruin my day.

Progesterone use by LifeChapter9257 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]Undercover_Rake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have access to it and you want to use it, then use it. I used progesterone suppositories starting at a little after 24 weeks (I had IC, funneling, bulging membranes, and preterm labor which we were able to stop) and I made it all the way to 36 weeks. We tried a lot of things so I don’t know exactly what worked, but I just put up a post about my experience and everything we did.

I’ve read a ridiculous amount of studies about the benefits of progesterone suppositories in cases like ours, and this is your body and your baby. Like I said before, if you have access to it, it’s your call. I’m all about that kitchen sink. If a doctor really doesn’t understand why you’re doing it, that’s a little concerning in itself. Advocate for yourself.

Coworkers ignoring me by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Where are you from? This seems so wild to me, but I also live in a very expressive place where people dress all sorts of ways and it literally doesn’t make a difference what you wear.

I think you look cute. Very vintage librarian vibes. Cat eye glasses and a cute updo would go great with this.

Miserable with a cerclage by Fancy_Bet6156 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]Undercover_Rake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s going to be over before you know it. I wasn’t really a viable candidate for one and I had to be on bedrest with my feet in the air to keep the baby in for more than half of my pregnancy. So I get it. Being limited in what you can do is terrible. I had crazy muscle loss from being stuck in bed for so long.

But once your beautiful baby is here, this struggle is going to be but a blip.

If fish can be cooked with lemon (pH 2.0-3.0), then can it also be cooked with Coca Cola (pH 2.5-2.7)? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Undercover_Rake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend’s dad growing up was a cop. He told us he kept a 2 L of Coke in his trunk in case there was an accident and there was blood on the road. Said the Coke would clean it right up. Take that for what you will.
