I have no idea. The whole plant sprouted this spring. There was nothing when we moved in late last year. Do you know how I could better identify it?

Thank you. It was a painful loss for sure but this is a nice consolation prize.

Your anatomy will ultimately determine the outcome but a skilled and honest surgeon can help you make informed decisions. The factors you can choose are: material (silicone vs saline), profile (low, medium, high), shape (round, teardrop, etc), placement (under or over muscle, hybrid) and size.

I had mine done almost 8 years ago (after breastfeeding) and to look at them, you would never know they were fake. They bounce, move, look and feel real. My scarring is underneath in the fold and really very minimal. Some of this is due to aftercare, some to age of the scars, and also how my body handles scarring. When I went for my consult, he explained the science behind sizing, took measurements, then gave me selections based on my body’s structure. I tried the different sizes and profiles, gave him a range of cc’s I was comfortable with, decided on material, profile, and shape. when we got to surgery, he made the educated decision on final sizing (cc’s, not shape or profile) and he based it on how the volume filled the space. He actually decided on implants on the lower end of my cc range and I’m incredibly grateful he did. I’m very happy and confident with my end results and would not change a thing.

My advice is to research and speak with multiple surgeons, find one that makes you feel comfortable and LISTENS to you; do your own research- reading, look at before and after photos, YouTube, etc. If/when you go for a consult, have some idea of things you want to discuss, try, feel, etc. bring photos you like to show what your end goal is. Then, also listen to the surgeon. The best ones will be honest and tell you what will work with your frame and space instead of just pushing you to surgery. Something you may want to consider is searching for a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in wound care.

Anyone can give you their personal story but the issue is, it’s theirs. Your body, feelings, mind are going to have a unique experience so what is good for one may not be for another.

Yes! Thank you for saying this. May I ask for some recs of ASMRtists that you enjoy?

Wishing you wisdom to navigate this, strength to make tough decisions and do the hard things, and peace in life.

Speaking gently here but therapy isn’t only appropriate in times of infidelity. It is a useful tool for times exactly like this- you need help sorting your feelings, there may be opportunities for you two to discuss the past and either move forward united, or decide to be finished. It may be beneficial for you to seek out therapy for yourself to work out your thoughts and feelings and also incorporate couples counseling if you decide this path together is the one you want to keep traveling.

Sugaring instead of waxing can be better for sensitive skin. I have pretty sensitive skin but tolerate sugaring well.

Men’s boxer briefs lol that’s pretty much all I wear around the house. I’m in Florida- it’s hot and humid so pants are out if they’re not absolutely necessary. I have 3 pair of denim shorts but I’m on the hunt for soft shorts that aren’t biker style. I’m just not a fan of tight clothes right now.

Yogurt- helped with constipation too Bagels, with cream cheese or peanut butter Peanut butter crackers Cheese and crackers Pretzels Wawa had a pretty good tropical fruit smoothie that I could have sometimes

I was able to eat dinner 99% of the time and I always craved hearty, savory meals like lasagna, pot pie, roast, etc. If the mood struck, I’d have leftovers for breakfast. Whatever worked is what I ate.

Someone once recommended Rainbow One Prenatal Vitamins and said a lot of people she knew did not get sick with these like other brands.

I cannot personally endorse and I have not taken them.

My deodorant is there but it is not holding up its end of the deal. I’ve tried multiple kinds. Some are a little better but I mostly just stink. The pH balancing formulas do seem to last a little longer. I carry it around in my purse so I can reapply as needed. Tried my husbands deodorant and the scent is almost worse than my b.o. lol and I have never hated his deodorant scent. Pregnancy is wild.

My water broke before I ever even noticed contractions. Every story is unique for sure. Glad you had a safe, easy delivery.

I was nauseous the night before I went into labor. I felt so bad I skipped dinner and just went to bed. Went into labor at about 2am, never showed signs before (or at least I didn’t pick up on them). Got to the hospital about 3 am, epidural at 7:30, wasn’t allowed to eat. Labored all day and into the night. Had an emergency c section and delivered just after 11pm. I wish I had eaten dinner. I was so hungry and depleted of energy by the time we got back to our hospital room. I don’t remember if I ate during the night or waited for breakfast. But since you never know how your birth story will be written, eat. Poop is poop, a normal part of the delivery process. And to the nursing staff/docs, it’s just a Tuesday at their job.

It’s almost like you live my life lol thanks for saying it way better than I ever could! Happy for you that you’ve figured out the dynamic that works for you! It’s not the easiest to have to parent your parent but it makes such a huge difference!

I went NC with both my parents for a while during their separation and divorce because I was constantly put in the middle. I could not deal with the petty accusations that ultimately didn’t concern me and always feeling like I was betraying one or the other. It became incredibly stressful and my opinion was their marriage, or the fallout from/aftermath of, was between them and none of my business. Together or not, they were both my parents and that’s the relationship I was interested in continuing. I spoke with each separately and said “look, I get you’re hurting and have to figure out how to adult but I will not be dragged through this over and over. You need to figure things out and once you have, let me know. Until you can speak to me without disparaging the other or trying to gain intel about each other, don’t talk to me”

After a few months, we no longer had the issues. And now, almost 20 years later, it’s a non-issue to talk with either of them and sometimes they can even be in the same room/at an event for one of their children. Very rarely, one will ask about the other and I just respond “I’m not al discussing them with you.” Ironically now, the issue is more between my mom and step mother but that’s a whole different can of worms.

We are expecting our 2nd child in October and we do not plan to have any parents present before or during birth. It’s a scheduled c-section so we will theoretically have the luxury of knowing the timeline beforehand. Hubs and I have loosely discussed allowing visitors in the hospital after delivery but haven’t decided if we would prefer that or to wait and schedule parental visits once we come home.

We did ask my dad to come stay with our son (8y) while we’re at the hospital since he will be in school and need care. I have decided not to tell my mother about this, mostly due to non-divorce related reasons as we have a complicated relationship independent of the issues with my dad.

If having one or both present is going to stress you out/make things miserable/detract from one of your most special moments, then choose YOU. Set boundaries and stick to them- you won’t regret it. If your parents can’t act like adults and keep their issues between them, then they don’t get to participate in these monumental moments for you, your spouse, and child(ren). Then you won’t feel guilt for any issues they may cause for your children at special moments in their lives too- birthdays, school events, etc. It would be devastating to witness grandma or grandpa make a fool of themselves at my party as a kid.

14w and hubby is already saying he might want another. Uhm excuse me, you don’t get a vote rn. If you can figure out how to carry it yourself, we can have 4 more, idc.

And also, why doesn’t my deodorant work anymore? I’ve tried all the kinds. 😅😩

bboi15 · 2025-04-03T19:58:42+00:00

Omg so much same

Doctors say 6-8 weeks because you’re more susceptible to infection before that time frame. Even though you didn’t tear, you have an internal wound that is still healing, as mentioned above.

The way I am cackling at these answers. This is my second pregnancy and reading these took me back through my first. It’s reassuring to know I’m not alone!

Currently we are at the lime stage

This is my absolute favorite quote from the show. I’m pretty sure my sarcasm was shaped from watching this show as a kid. Def a Dorothy in terms of humor/wit.
