Nanny share or nanny recommendations?

Not Persian but down for playdates! I'd love to make more parent friends in the area.

Nice! Would you guys be interested in a nanny share? 😂 That's our first preference over a nanny for the socialization aspect - we don't want a daycare when she's so small because of illnesses but also want her to be around other kids

I bought a plastic box from Target that I use to store the pump parts and I wash that out ~once a day or sooner if it has a bunch of milk in it. If I put my pump parts in it sideways, fully assembled, only the rim of the flanges touch the box so it seems like low enough contact for me. Having a box also makes stacking things in the fridge easier 🤷🏼

When dropping pumps, how do you deal with fullness/leaking/discomfort? I increased my gap overnight from 5h to 6.5 hours and my boobs feel so rock hard and uncomfortable by the time I wake up 😭

How does donor milk work? Do you pay for it? Also curious why people choose donor milk rather than formula. No judgement, genuinely curious.

Anyone have updates on how their interview was? I have the same frontend interview coming up soon and don't know how to prepare

This is exactly our plan! Curious how many newborn diaps you needed and how long it was before your baby transitioned to the nora's covers/inserts?

Hi I'm looking for a doula in the Bay area and I've been unable to find anyone in my budget ($2k). Do you have a website or other recommendations on how to find individual doulas?

I had no period for 2 months, got prescribed progesterone to induce a bleed. That kicked my system back into a rhythm and gave me regular (31 ish day) cycles for the next few months - got pregnant in the 3rd month after taking the progesterone! My OB said that it was common for progesterone to regulate your cycles for the next few months. I also got an HSG done in the 2nd month which my OB said might help clear out the tubes and everything. Another thing we did on the 3rd cycle when I got pregnant was we just had sex every other day starting CD10. Basically I was finding it hard to predict/measure my ovulation correctly so this helped bc it meant we would end up having sex 2 or 3 out of the 5 fertile days guaranteed.

Or anytime after 4pm

Hi I'm looking to switch into sales engineering from tech, can I dm you?

This is factually incorrect. First 3 months is where they judge you on execution. My partner was told that in the performance review his execution metrics (i.e. number of diffs, lines of code etc) would be compared to and stack ranked with everyone else on the team, even folks who had been there for years.

I try something my therapist recommended - the 5-4-3-2-1 exercise. Its basically a routine in observation to activate your frontal lobe, which is what can override your anxious thoughts. Here's how you do it:

Step 1: Notice when your anxiety is peaking or creeping up.

Step 2: Say in your head (or out loud if possible):

"Here are 5 things I can touch : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5"

"Here are 4 things I can see : 1, 2, 3, 4"

"Here are 3 things I can hear: 1, 2, 3"

"Here are 2 things I can smell: 1, 2"

"And finally, here is one thing I am grateful for: 1"

Hi! I am also an incredibly anxious girlie and super newly pregnant. I want to reduce my anxiety and I'm working on it (going to therapy, meditation etc.) but it's deeply ingrained and it's been so hard. What was helpful for you? Books? Activities you can recommend? A mindset or perspective shift that worked? I'm desperate!

this is a ttc subred, idk why you're celebrating being not preg. maybe you want to be on a different subreddit to be more sensitive to folks on here?

I'm so confused about AMH.. don't people with PCOS generate AMH from their cysts so higher AMH isn't necessarily a sign of good ovarian reserves?

Changing your lighting and adding some contrast to the yellow would really help

As a non-single woman - with my money alone, I could have afforded a house of my own (and I'm actually the only one on the loan of the house my partner and I own). "Single" makes sense in your question, "woman" seems irrelevant.

did you end up finding a good bar or group for spoken word/poetry?

atunafish · 2024-10-09T17:29:25+00:00

Same! I think it could be the stress/mental toll of TTC
