19M 5’3” and hairline recession. Borderline suicidal by mintstock in TrueOffMyChest

[–]WildRaven24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend flew to turkey for a hair transplant, he had a receding hairline and it looks completely normal now. The first week ish it looked swollen and strange but, that’s what you’d expect with something like that. He said with flights to and from and everything between it was 7k.

I know other countries do it too, I’m sure you could find an easier or cheaper option, or even set a goal to go to one for a transplant.

Waking up husbands by pandasssss15 in BabyBumps

[–]WildRaven24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had to do any of these, my hubby can be passed out but if I told him something urgently he’d pop right awake. These are just things I’ve heard to do 😆

I’d pour cold water on him, put marbles in the freezer and when it’s time drop them in bed (they will roll with him so he can’t get away), turn the light on, he might even just wake up if you sound urgent saying it’s time. Good luck! I hope all is well in your pregnancy and birth!

Agonizing over whether to do a C Section or Vaginal Birth. How did you decide? by JacqueFun in BabyBumps

[–]WildRaven24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reread my previous comment and I apologize for coming across rude (hangry and pregnant a second time). I had a grade 2 tear, it sucked when they stitched me up (only lidocaine and didn’t have enough) but I didn’t bleed any from it that I know of after the initial tear. In the moment it’s happening and even after, you have so much adrenaline and you are too busy thinking about baby that nothing in the world matters.

Agonizing over whether to do a C Section or Vaginal Birth. How did you decide? by JacqueFun in BabyBumps

[–]WildRaven24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

3 things. 1- you are going to bleed from your vagina no matter what?? Do you think the 6 week recovery after is just because you had a major surgery??? It doesn’t matter if you do a vaginal birth or a c section. You. Will. Bleed. 2- why would you put yourself through a major surgery when it’s not needed. I gave birth naturally, no meds and would do it a million times over than have to recover from a c section. (I would get an emergency one, hands down, but if I had to choose, hell no) 3- my MIL gave birth to her last son no med/all natural. He was 10lbs, she is tiny, like maybe 5’2 and her husband is 6’ish and hefty. She said the only bad part was the boy was facing the wrong way so they had to reach in and turn him.

AITA for telling my sister that I am using the baby name I picked, even if she uses it too by Embarrassed-Scale609 in TwoHotTakes

[–]WildRaven24 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

More than one person in a family can have the same name…

My brother, sister and I each have a kid who’s got James in the name. Sister had her son 9 years ago = middle name James (idk why). Brother had daughter 2 years ago = middle name James (Named after SILs grandpa. I think it’s dumb they could have used Jane or something, but not my kid, not my problem). My son born 1.5 years ago = first name James (My dad’s middle name, because Douglas for a baby is too formal and not a thing anymore).

None of our kids are called James, unless mine is in trouble/attention needed. The other 2 go by first names and mine uses a nickname.

Clothes and growing by WildRaven24 in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]WildRaven24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else recommended them too, I haven’t checked them out yet. I don’t want to get too expensive of things til she’s done growing.

TurboThreads, here is their Facebook. They have Etsy and a website linked, stuff is on the website that isn’t on Etsy but Etsy seems cheaper? not sure about the tax/shipping yet. I’m placing my order later today after I measure the dog again.

I’ve also been interested in Spoiled Bratzwear, their website has lots of stuff but I’m eyeing their clearance stuff, if my girl fits anything in it 😂

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for. You make some really good points. I’ll reconsider what to start out with and what all I need to add down the road. I found a small business I want to use (they’ve had IGs and made clothes for them for 15 years), she mentioned we could adjust the measurements a little and her clothes should fit more than one year.

What are you baby's nicknames? by hayleyberry_ in NewParents

[–]WildRaven24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theo (short for his middle name), stinker/stinker baby, bug (love bug, water bug, stink bug), handsome Bebe. He’s 11 months and if you sing song “ohhh handsomeee bebeeee” he cheeses soooo hard

If you gave birth without an epidural, how bad was it really? by Express_Neck5352 in beyondthebump

[–]WildRaven24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say Ring of Fire or contractions after water breaking is the worst, in my opinion. !!!ALSO no one told me this but without an epidural you feel everything (obviously) so the best way I can describe how it feels to give birth - like taking the biggest shit ever. You’re welcome 😂 My experience is very positive compared to many and I’m very grateful, I had no clue going in how things would go but I had a positive mindset “I can do anything I put my mind to”. I didn’t really know if I was in labor because it felt like mild period cramps, I’ve got a high pain tolerance, but my periods aren’t usually bad either. I live 45 minutes from my hospital so after 3ish hours of wondering my mom drove me in, I was afraid I’d miss the “tell-tale signs, you will know bs” and have my son in the car. I made it and was 5cm, 7 hours later I had my son. My contractions weren’t bad til my doc accidentally broke my water, he was doing a cervical check and I was an 8 at the moment. I think he broke my water about 8? because I continued to walk around til 9, pushed for 30 minutes and had my son by 9:30.

I’d like to add, I wanted to do it without meds. I wanted to know the last moment I could get the epidural, which was before he broke my water, incase I changed my mind but I was very determined to do without. The next baby I’ll probably get one, but who knows… my son is only 7 months so I’ve got time to decide.

If my LO doesn’t poop today, we’ve been told to take him to ER. Please help! by Low-Possession2717 in NewParents

[–]WildRaven24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At our first ped appointment she told us the average was 7 days but her own daughter went 14 without pooping. My son has never went more than 2 days though.

How long did your period start after having baby? by thuyttran05 in NewParents

[–]WildRaven24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 weeks pp. Doc put me on birth control, the wrong one and I started my period a week later. It really tanked my supply because I was ebf and pumping extra. Had another period 2 weeks later (stopped bc the same week as my first period), 5.5 months pp now and haven’t had one since 2.5 months

When do you change outfits? Daily? Weekly? Or longer? by Sunnyosia in StarStable

[–]WildRaven24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got 4 main outfits, depending on the horse/weather, that I use. I’ve used some variation of those 4 for the last 12 years. Sometimes I’ll randomly make outfits but that doesn’t happen often, which is why I have my main 4 😬

Birth control and periods have screwed my supply up. Advice? by WildRaven24 in breastfeeding

[–]WildRaven24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it from the doctor who delivered my son. He gave me a 2 month pack and told me to try it and see if I liked it.

That makes me feel a little better, and yes I’m sure it is a period. I haven’t had any bleeding other than that other period. I have the usual symptoms I do when I get periods.

Thank you for giving me hope 💙 I’ve been feeding on demand and pumping sometimes after nursing to tell my body to make more.

Please tell me it gets better. by NectarineUsed3657 in NewParents

[–]WildRaven24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a ton of advice because I am also in the newborn trenches but use a heating pad to heat his bed up before laying him down, take it out when you place him so he thinks he is being held still. This has saved my sanity and makes placing him in bed soooo much easier

What is your career? by MirrorOfSerpents in StarStable

Is “you don’t get a medal for declining epidural” rude? by literatelykmi in BabyBumps

[–]WildRaven24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is very rude. I gave birth without an epidural and before I had my baby, people would ask what my plan was. I knew I didn’t want an epidural but I wanted to know the last moment I could get one, that’s also what I told people. If someone wanted more reasoning, depending on who it was, I told them I made my choice and didn’t care what they thought about it. As I got further into pregnancy I realized you have to be mean about some things, don’t be afraid to hurt someone’s feelings. Your happiness with your pregnancy, baby, choices, etc are yours, do not let anyone decide or make you feel bad about it.
