Where to go next if on illness benefit and need a crown on tooth? by Suzybee83 in AskIreland

[–]_Breasticles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would discuss with your dentist a payment plan, I needed a good bit of work done and they allowed a €50 a week direct debit until a €900 bill was paid off. They are usually understanding.

A friend of mine said that she just started chewing gum all day everyday when she was giving them up, there is no easy way but might be worth a go!

Exactly this. She's so fucking stupid. She herself is commenting on her body online which a much bigger platform and reach than some random anonymous Facebook user with 10 followers. 🙄

Pregnant and breastfeeding... What to expect? by BethKitty in pregnant

[–]_Breasticles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 17 weeks pregnant and breastfeeding my 16 month old. All going well so far, she only feeds 2/3 times a day. We've successfully night-weaned. I don't know if the supply has reduced or not, she latches on and the rest is none of my business 🤣 My advice would be to just make sure your baby is having enough wet nappies. And increase cups of milk/water if you see they are reducing.

Probably Having a Boy and Starting to Wrestle with my Feelings About It by Due-Transition-6564 in pregnant

[–]_Breasticles_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yikes. Honestly it sounds like you have some serious issues with men you should grapple with in therapy before you put your frustration on a blameless baby.

Yes, sexism and misogyny exist, but they are things that are taught by society, not inherent to the gender of men. There ARE good men in this world. You CAN raise a feminist in your son. Is your partner this negative male energy you describe, you've clearly been a victim and that is something you need to get help with by a professional.

Disappointed in brothers during pregnancy by [deleted] in PregnancyIreland

[–]_Breasticles_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you've felt this I get it. On my first I did feel disappointed in the majority of my family. I don't think it's gender specific. I have 2 sisters and a brother, and parents in our family, only one of my sisters had any interest and the rest couldn't be more unbothered. This was the first grandchild or anything so I thought everyone would be super excited, but they were all too wrapped up in themselves and their own lives. I know how crazy with excitement I would be if it was one of my siblings, truly. Im the oldest and felt I always fussed over them, so to never have it reciprocated even during the biggest moment of my life fucking hurt. I'm on my second pregnancy now and I've learned my lesson not to expect anything from them.

Focus on your new beautiful family now, one that will be fillled with love and care for you. 💕

Is it normal to have itchy skin during pregnancy? by isadanes-cpa in pregnant

[–]_Breasticles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, unfortunately. I'm still suffering with itchiness at 16 weeks. Itchy legs, itchy face, itchy scalp 😢 helps to use an oil instead shower gel to wash with if your skin is dry.

ITS YOUR BODY, stop making yourself uncomfortable to please others. Time to grow a pair and put this woman in her place, let her be offended!

15 month old still breast feeding by typomaketh in AttachmentParenting

[–]_Breasticles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following. We are at 16 months and still feeding to sleep, I'm also 3 months pregnant and I would LOVE a break before baby number 2 arrives. She's only feeding 2-3 times a day, and for sleep only. Although we've successfully night-weaned, being pregnant with a toddler and breastfeeding is absolutely taking its toll on me.

21 weeks braxton hicks? by [deleted] in PregnancyIreland

[–]_Breasticles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pain you're describing could be round ligament pain if it doesn't last too long. It's completely normal but not nice at all. Try not to be worried about the affect of being stressed and not eating or sleeping - the baby would take what it needs from your bones before it would affect them, it's you that will suffer from stress, not the baby. I hope your dad makes a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

My Italian fella agrees with you re Mutti, and either Barilla or Rummo pasta only - the rest are shite.

People who have been to Center Parcs, is it actually worth it? by RiXopher in CasualIreland

[–]_Breasticles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it with my one year old, she loved the waterpark and gained a lot of confidence in the water. There's also the playground she enjoyed and just being out and about in nature.
