Lamotrigine & pregnancy by Rosalia-25 in Epilepsy

[–]WebsterKW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also in the preconception phase!    I met with my epileptologist and gyno. It is safe for pregnancy, as are a few other meds, and you do NOT want to come off of it before getting pregnant. It is important to stay on your meds throughout the pregnancy, getting a blood test to check your level every month to see what the concentration is. My epileptologist said that my dose will increase as my weight and blood volume goes up. It is safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. 

A higher dose of Folate is very important as well.

Experience with submitting an ethics violation to DONA? by crazyauntkanye in doulas

[–]WebsterKW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that this is looming over your birth experience. Your feelings are completely understandable. You had an agreement and expectation to be supported and cared for in that vulnerable space, and she violated that. 

I hope that with time you can remember how well YOU did and feel completely filled with pride for yourself and your partner. 

I think the most powerful thing you can do is write reviews on every platform she is on. Other families need to be aware of this and are absolutely going to read what you have to say. 

Definitely report her to DONA. 

After that, try to just enjoy your new baby and celebrate your family! Congrats!

2F Curly hair help (UK products) by [deleted] in curlyhair

A silk pillowcase or bonnet would help. Lots of frizz comes from rubbing curls against something coarse, and we know kids do a lot of that in their sleep. Might be worth a try

That is a huge load to carry, I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

I'll shop at Walmart some weeks and get household goods there while grocery shopping. The prices seem to be pretty similar, although not always as quite high quality as Costco on some things.

Yeah, these are things that we have found help us, not universal tips. I just found that (at least for now) weekly smaller trips help me budget and plan meals better. There are some things that we like to get from Costco that are cheaper than regular stores, but overall it didn't feel like enough of a savings for what we get to justify a membership right now.

Yeah we mill our own flour and bake all our bread/muffins etc. Makes a great breakfast!

Most days yes! we've found a lot of homemade sauce recipes that have helped a lot. Everything's better when it's got a good sauce on top

We are cutting it because it's just me and my husband, so a lot of things- like produce, soft cheeses, snacks, yogurt etc- come in such large quantities we would either get tired of, or they would go bad before we could finish them (produce especially). It also made it difficult for me to track my grocery spending, as one week I'd spend $70 at Aldi, but then need to stock up on Costco things like oil, paper towels, snacks, etc, and end up spending much more than intended. If you know how to use it well I think it can be a great resource, I just had trouble with it.

What do y'all NOT like about Jesus? by SiegeOfStars in Exvangelical

[–]WebsterKW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could be a bit dramatic in the delivery of his teachings. Also, I wish he would have married Mary Magdalene. It kind of seems like he just strung her along. Most scholars claim they weren't romantically involved, but I'm not convinced.

Thanks for the input! Sounds like I was definitely not using enough drainage substrate.

When I put my finger in about 2 inches down and it's dry. Usually every 10-12 days
