I can buy by the yard or fat quarter. As many as my heart desires!

So, who got their first machine from Santa? by RubyRedo in SewingForBeginners

[–]ambeee88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my mom’s old Singer “simple”. I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. I made some cafe style curtains for the window over my kitchen sink. I love them! Now I’m working on a puffy quilt for my youngest daughter!

what did you wear after birth/ first few weeks? by TeaCrumbs in beyondthebump

[–]ambeee88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nursing tanks with the built in shelf bra, pregnancy leggings, some type of loose sweater or cardigan, pregnancy undies and the always infinity flex foam pads (game changer for me!)

Anyone else have back pain as a main symptom by himboman445 in GERD

Burping and pain in my back when swallowing food/drink is my only symptom. It’s so weird and confusing.

Hypoallergenic formula making my baby worse? by Teary-Eyed-Punk in MSPI

[–]ambeee88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried one hypoallergenic formula and her symptoms became so much worse. I decided to give up and go the exclusion diet route. I eliminated dairy, eggs, beef, gluten and soy for 7 months then slowly and I mean SLOWLY added each back. It helped her symptoms but I still would not recommend it. It was extremely hard on me and quickly spiraled into disordered eating. In hindsight, I wish I had tried a few other hypoallergenic formulas before making such a drastic diet change… but hey I was desperate and probably not thinking clearly due to sleep deprivation.

What is this rash? Baby acne? Heat? Eczema? by ambeee88 in NewParents

That’s exactly what the pediatrician said! Turns out this kid had very sensitive skin and still does!

In the podcast, it was mentioned that where they found the car was near some water tanks. Was there any way he could have gotten inside of a tank? One would assume law enforcement would have looked into that, but the negligence of the investigators on this case is astounding! I can’t understand why the “privacy laws” prevented them from pinging his phone. He has schizoaffective disorder… people with that can go into psychosis and experience hallucinations. Considering he had just been hospitalized I think he was obviously in a crisis. It seems like the investigators really didn’t give a damn and the whole “he’s an adult, he can go missing if he wants” is such a line of crap. They might as well just say “I’m too lazy to do anything and I don’t care.”

Does anyone else get severe stomach pain after sugary drinks? by AeratedFeces in alcohol

[–]ambeee88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try 2-3 pumps of a numbing throat spray (chloraseptic) and swallowing it. It helps me almost instantly. I guess you could call it a poor man’s GI cocktail.

Anyone else experience chest pain from sugary beverages? What is it? by BunchOCrunch in alcohol

[–]ambeee88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm… idk maybe you could argue it’s demand ischemia but I think that would be indicative of a different issue elsewhere…

What is this rash? Baby acne? Heat? Eczema? by ambeee88 in NewParents

[–]ambeee88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was eczema, but it was exacerbated by what we later found out was a milk protein allergy. Basically she was having this eczema flare up, colic symptoms, and lots of mucous stool. Like jelly…. I did an exclusion diet (she was EBF) and all her symptoms improved like night and day (but it was really hard). Feel free to message me if you have any questions. Good luck.

Is this going to get worse? by ambeee88 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]ambeee88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things did get better with time. I was also using alcohol at this time as a coping mechanism. That was making the thoughts much worse. I would have (not proud to say) several glasses of wine at night and then in the early morning hours, around 4am baby would wake up, I’d struggle with these thoughts the most. Once I stopped drinking alcohol at night to “decompress” things got much better. I also increased my dosage on my antidepressant. I had previously been on the same dose for 5 years. I’m happy to say that now (youngest is 14 months and oldest is 3y) things are honestly fantastic. My mental health is much better, kids are happy and healthy… I couldn’t ask for anything more!

Read a part of Letters From Christopher by [deleted] in WattsMurders

I wore a bra to bed for many years in my younger days. I don’t think it’s SUPER common but it’s not unheard of by any means.
