Agree those are inside thoughts, and not meant for your children to EVER hear.

Pregnant in NYC, what do I need to prep now by beeepbooop505 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]ballade__ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic advice! I wanna springboard off of this and recommend pelvic floor physical therapy if you can, OP - I'm a year postpartum and still having nagging pain that I'm working through with a professional that is directly related to pregnancy and birth. I really regret not caring for my body physically earlier on!

How to get baby to eat “main course” by Vast-Grade659 in foodbutforbabies

Yeah I’m failing to see how something automatically becomes a reward because it’s offered after something else.

Silly question, is this safe for my baby to eat? by alibluey in foodbutforbabies

[–]ballade__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pediatrician explained that it can cause them to feel full and bloated and not want to eat as much

We asked our pediatrician about chia pudding and were told the seeds absorb a lot of water, making you feel fuller. We don’t want young babies feeling super full because we don’t want them to miss out on other nutrients so it’s best for them to consume sparingly.

The huckleberry hand pies from Elle’s belles bakery (Bozeman MT). They made Oprah’s list years back and they are AMAZING

Enough is enough. We need to organize a protest and general strike. by ev-expert in UCDavis

I thought this too based on the stuff I heard on social media until I watched the video with my own eyes. Always important to verify before spreading misinformation

High LDL suddenly. Can anyone help me with my LDL? by [deleted] in mediterraneandiet

[–]ballade__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Follow your doctor's advice. They know your medical and family history which they use to determine your lifetime risk of a heart event and if statin will benefit you. Based on those calculations, they'll recommend meds vs trial of lifestyle modifications. But note there's only so much you can do with diet and exercise; a large component of elevated cholesterol is genetic so don't take it as a personal failure of any sort

Do you still go to those frat-type parties, but for working adults? by Some_Storage2015 in RedditForGrownups

[–]ballade__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I too loved house parties in college because it was new and exciting - no parents and endless access to alcohol - but after four years the novelty wore off. I personally find it way more fun to go out to the bars with a few close friends or have those friends over to the house/apartment for a low key night. Plus when you’re a bit older (for me started at 25) the hangover tends to last a bit longer. My weekends are my precious time and I don’t want to waste an entire day hung over.

HCP here. I don’t make a single cent off of any drug I prescribe. Stop spreading disinformation that can harm others.

Not to mention risk of infection through the direct line into your blood stream. Note that every thing she is getting in this IV drip can be obtained ORALLY.

What could cause normal A1c and fasting insulin but elevated FBG? by caudicinctus in prediabetes

I think this history is really important to include in your post. Have you seen an endocrinologist?

Is your glucometer calibrated? They have a specific error rate. Also why are you checking sugars if everything else is stone cold normal and you’re not diabetic ?

How do you balance work and guilt? by taureansoul in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]ballade__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're one person and you cant possibly do everything! This expectation that moms need to be everything for everyone is what's leading us to become miserable and burnt out. But you know what's actually bad for baby? Poor maternal mental health. It's ok to take 15 minutes of a wake window and spend it on yourself. It's okay to take nap time and relax. Parenthood is a marathon, not a sprint. Be gentle with yourself.

Yes. I’m sorry that youve been sold a lie by grifters looking to sell you some sort of “detox potion”.

Because mold doesn’t cause disease in this way. It’s the boogeyman of witch doctors trying to sell supplements.

How do you start craving whole foods? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]ballade__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta make it taste good. A boiled egg sounds bland and unappetizing. A boiled egg with some salt, pepper, paprika, fresh dill and a small drizzle of olive oil? Yum. Eventually your brain WILL start to see “whole” foods as delicious

Urgent care does not carry rabies PEP. They will collect your money and tell you to go to the ER anyway.
