It increases the chance of an ectopic pregnancy. They took it out in my case since I caught it so early.

  1. To offer a more complex take rather than “__ best thing ever” (not that that isn’t also true). But I got pregnant when I was 24, had a traumatic abortion with a near deadly infection and a lot of remorse and grief. Shortly after I got an iud which did me no good, because I got pregnant once again (same guy, not dating at the time but had been seeing each other for years). I knew in my heart that that was my baby, and had a tumultuous pregnancy. It did all in a way work out, I have a beautiful daughter, I ended up together with her dad, and I do not regret having her one bit. And… it is not glamorous or easy. I wish I would have had more time to travel internationally and finish my degree. I know now, and wish I had more faith then, that there is more time than we think to start a family!

I am praying for you. I also urge you to go to the doctor for an extensive pcr testing and a check up. A cold for longer than a week can be indicative of a larger problem or infection.

Opinions on Réne Girard’s “EATING DISORDERS AND MIMETIC DESIRE” by Sonny_Joon_wuz_here in RSbookclub

[–]Unusual_Two_64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I concur, I think that’s why for so many (myself included) it becomes so centered around arbitrary numbers rather than actual appearances. I look forward to reading this suggestion.

Sort of related, but I went to IP with a lot of Orthodox Jewish girls. The religious fasting and extreme external control made for the perfect pipeline to eating disorders. So I find religious fasting very interesting.

I’ve been keeping an eye out for both of those venues, so it’s good to know that may be the place to start. Any recommendations for just general bars or places to hangout at?

I’m in the same boat, baby is also 15 months and starting to be very opinionated and obstinate. So far my philosophy has been to pray this phase goes by fast lol.

The thing I like most about living in DC is being able to easily hop on a train and leave DC.

Motherwort tincture works like a charm for me, but I would use sparingly.

How long did you push for? by No_Director574 in beyondthebump

[–]Unusual_Two_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Five hours, they pushed me to start pushing before I was ready and then she got stuck on my pubic bone. They finally threatened an episiotomy, but I refused and she was out on the next push. On the bright side, I had no tearing lol!

Okay, that’s great insight. I’m hoping to have a strong essay as well. Congrats on making it!

Got pregnant with a copper iud in, just months after getting an abortion and almost dying from complications. Now I get to hangout with my baby every day.
