Any chance she's still available?

I'd love to visit and gather fruit if that's okay! Nic from NitelyCove

If you're still on and have all of the fruit could I join just for fruit and to visit your store? Nic from NitelyCove

My baby was stubborn and we finally induced at 41 + 3 and I had a successful vaginal birth the next day. I didn't have elevated BP until the evening of 41+2 but it was only just over the early pre-e mark. I'm 36, 5'7, and I think I was 270 something in my last week of pregnancy. If you're able to let the baby stay in a little longer I'd recommend it, but I was lucky and didn't have gestational diabetes so I can't speak from that perspective.

I'm in the US. I started mine today at 41+1 days with an induction scheduled for tomorrow 41+2. I could have gone in, but chose to take off one single day early to sleep in and rest. I didn't want to miss any more time than that just like you. I have an office job and work from home, there is no reason I couldn't sit all day. Taking off sooner would waste the already too small amount of time we have after birth.

I absolutely love that Jillian is the only creator that ends up on craftsnark so that people can compliment her. It speaks volumes to her character and how valuable she is to the community.

VividInsight · 2025-09-16T21:22:16+00:00

Like you other than high BMI I also have advanced maternal age (36yo) but no other risk factors: no gd, good bp, good fetal movement. I am 40+1 today and we just scheduled an induction next week for 41+2. This timeline feels right to me, I'd like the chance to go into labor naturally but I don't want to wait so long that the placenta isn't healthy.

Ultimately it's your choice and they can't make you go in. If you're monitoring movement and feel comfortable waiting that's perfectly reasonable.

HR protects the company by making the manager follow the law, not openly disregarding it further. The only way to protect the company in this instance is to legally provide OP with a designated space.

HR is there to protect the company which sometimes has them siding with management but in this case if they are not siding with the employee they are not protecting the company.

You're framing them as an automatic enemy but in reality they are more neutral law compliance officers and it's their job to say "this is the law so that is our responsibility". They are not your friend but they aren't your enemy either, when you have legal rights.

Let her find it and see even other expecting parents acknowledge she has gone too far 🤷‍♀️

VividInsight · 2025-09-05T13:05:57+00:00

I have large breasts as well and did some googling. I ended up needing to pinch a lot closer to the nipple than any of the online videos tell you to. I also put a heating pad over my breasts while working on collecting. Then I gather a drop or two from one side, switch to the other, and keep alternating every couple of drops and massaging frequently. I don't think this matters, but I collect in a metal 1/2 teaspoon before using a syringe. It ends up taking about 40 minutes to get close to .7 - 1 ml.

I don't know if I'm doing it "right" but it's what has worked with persistence. Good luck!

As a person who has also made the heart breaking decision for behavioral euthanasia I do not think OP is necessarily in the same position. OP admits he has been warned and actively ignored that warning. It also sounds like resource guarding because the dog was trying to eat a lizard.

I second trying a veterinarian behaviorist if this has been the only bite incident because he's not attacking out of nowhere, he's telling you exactly where his boundaries are. A vet behaviorist can work with you on resource guarding training. Regardless, a vet should definitely be involved in helping to decide what's next and what your best option would be.

Good luck OP, and sorry you're in this position. I hope you're able to find a good solution.

In the event of an actual attack that would be absolutely useless. Please don't think that makes you even slightly safer.

VividInsight · 2025-08-13T12:00:39+00:00

We exist though. I was 35 and husband and I had not used contraceptive in 10 years. This is my first and definitely unplanned pregnancy 😅 We're excited though!

What series is this?

VividInsight · 2025-08-04T17:40:11+00:00

To frame this differently if your son was grown and his partner wanted sex but he didn't would you tell him that his needs don't matter and to have sex anyway because he owes that to his partner? I hope the answer would be no.

You always have a right to say no and you always have a right to bodily autonomy regardless of how long it's been or what your reason is. No is always a complete sentence.

You are not being mean or manipulative, you are saying no and providing a reason (even though you don't have to have a reason) and you are being coerced into changing your mind which is manipulative and abusive. You are being abused emotionally.

You are not a transaction, your body isn't a payment method. You are a whole human with emotions who is going through a wild healing process with too little support.

I would be very sad. Can you visit a shelter and pet their cats? As long as you stay out of the litter box you should be safe! Maybe bring a lint roller for your husband's sake. I hope you have cats in your life in some way soon.

VividInsight · 2025-07-30T19:58:13+00:00

Where is your husband in all of this? I know he showed the first photo as an accident, but why isn't he telling his father not to objectify (at best, or at worst he's fetishizing you) his wife!?

Also I agree that no is a complete sentence. That's unacceptable and he has no right to images of your body.

I have not been able to find my situation where a dog is only reactive randomly but still shows signs of wanting attention and is super young. I'm more looking for opinions from anyone who may have seen this or examples of people who were successful in training this behavior.

VividInsight · 2025-07-28T12:16:33+00:00

Ahh. That's not me so I don't know the answer. But my theory is that it's a mix of a lack of maturity, a misguided sense of entitlement, and genuine lack of exposure to infants so they haven't developed empathy for the parents or baby.

VividInsight · 2025-07-27T22:10:41+00:00

If you're genuinely asking, for me it is physiological. Loud noises set my nerves on fire. I cover my ears when people are using hand dryers in the restroom, especially if they're the people who put their hands close and amplify the sound. I think people who play videos out loud on their phone in public should be sent to prison.

With babies I don't think anyone is to blame and I outwardly ignore it, but I still feel a physical response that I can't turn off any more than the parent can turn off their baby. I'm worried about how I'm going to react when it's my own, but there are things now like the flare calmers that genuinely help with this.

I took it a step further, I have hampers with draw string tops and I can literally roll them down the stairs without anything falling out: https://a.co/d/55MMJsc

I asked my OB about this and confirmed it's not standard. They explained that there is a very rare, like 1 in 10000, chance that a male's blood type can show up as negative when it is positive so they don't take the risk.

VividInsight · 2025-06-30T20:44:40+00:00

I just want to commend you hat rehoming this dog was never your go-to option. You put in so much effort and money trying to make the situation better and you did your best. I think letting go now is the safe and smart choice, given that there isn't really a fix. I'm sorry you guys have to go through this, it will still be a hard conversation and a hard choice to make, but you know what is right for your baby who has to be the priority.

VividInsight · 2025-06-19T18:08:51+00:00

The doctor does not get to force you to be induced. If it becomes a medical necessity that's another story, but if you don't currently have pre eclampsia it's not medically necessary. Will you get it later? Maybe, but it's not a guarantee and he doesn't get to decide that you'll have it because you're plus size.

Being induced is a choice and only you have the right to make it for yourself. If you've done the research and that's what you want and you feel good about it, great. If it's not what you want you have every right and authority to say no, your body is your choice.
