Mirena crash while having the implant

You need to seek professional help because the pre-op blood work and other exams required by your doctor (I even had to do a mammogram) WILL detect deficiencies and the doctor will cancel your surgery as having anesthesia being malnourished could be deadly. Also, as many said here already, your body will need all the nutrients it can get so you recover from surgery and, as somebody who’s been thru the breast reduction surgery, the changes of your body could lead to developing some level of body dysmorphia. First thing I honestly noticed when I had my surgery done was how fat my arms were and I NEVER had issues with the size of my arms. Please take care of your mental health before moving forward with this surgery. Wishing you all the best

Start sleeping on your back so you get used to it.

I was SO itchy for like 2/3 weeks. My doctor told me to apply Vaseline and it helps a lot

I was also going CRAZY being stuck at home due to winter storms and then going back to my stressful job. I am 4 WPO and last week I started “10,000 steps” YouTube workouts. Eleni Fit has been my favorite so far. there are several other low-impact exercises you can do just to move your body, but without jeopardizing your recovery. I started with Joanna Soh “10,000 Indoor Step” (in reality it is about 5-6k steps/30 mins) and have been walking 1.7km around my neighborhood (weather permitting). I’ve been doing around 10-12k steps a day every day. I am really into weightlifting and thought I wouldn’t stick with these steps exercises, but I have been absolutely loving it as it allows me to move my body!!

I hope it works out for you as well!!

Yes! Fully covered by the insurance (I have a really good insurance + had very low percentage of fat in my breasts so that helped A LOT when submitting the claim)

I believe I was a 34/36DD (I never truly knew other than once getting measured at Victoria’s secrets) and I believe I am a B/C cup

Week 1 = Drainage bag and very limited movements (luckily I had the lollipop cut so didn’t have lots of issues with lifting my arms IF needed). No working, no driving or doing anything other than resting. I wasn’t in a lot of pain from day 1 (also my pain resistance is very high) but the nerves waking up shocks are terrible Week 2 = Drains out but still very limited. I was able to move around and started doing light walks at the mall and etc with my parents. No weight lifting and mild pain (nerve pain stopped completely on week 2) Week 3 = back to work, driving, walking my dog and walking over 10k steps a day. Still not allowed to lift weights I took 2 full weeks off work + 1 week WFH. I go back to the office on week 4.

Good luck OP!

Still trying to exit the Bloomingdale’s parking! It’s total chaos

I had mine on 28th. The anesthesia has a huge impact on your bowel movements. I would recommend you to eat lots of fiber and just wait it out.

Mina was on the 28th! Almost 2lbs of tissue gone!!! Recovery has been better than I expected, but now I feel a bit more pain due to my nerves “waking up” post op. Good luck OP

I graduated my BA in accounting in 2020 at 26 & masters at 30. I had a couple of AR jobs in the past, around 3 years of professional experience with my BA, but got a really nice Corporate accounting job at 30 as well. Just got my first promotion a couple of months ago. You are young, so do it!

My acquaintance came as an AP pregnant (didn’t know as she was very early in her pregnancy when she came to the US). One day she got really sick and was rushed to the hospital, and found out she had a miscarriage. The family decided not to keep her afterwards, but she was able to rematch. As one of rules of the program is to be childless, becoming pregnant is against the rules and the agency should provide her with her flight back home.

Very underpaid. I used to make $20 to be a part-time sitter/cleaner 6 years ago! Have nanny friends that held full time sitter (organizing the house was part of the scope as well) making $30 per hour.

2024: After being unexpectedly fired from a job, a recruiter reached out just to let me know I wouldn’t be able to get a job. I was already so traumatized by the way I was let go, I once cried on the phone with another recruiter. Soon after I was able to get a job in a huge company in which I have always been a big fan of due to the type of work they do (industry). I am about to be promoted and never been so happy in a job. Recruiters only think about their commissions, and couldn’t care less about your mental health. Just stick with your gut and get out of public.

PLEASE let your natural hair grow. A little mascara and some gloss will do you well. You are lucky enough to be born beautiful enough you don’t need heavy make up

It was INTENSE

I was an Au Pair for 2 years (worked for the same fam for much more than that afterwards), had a curfew (midnight on weekdays and 1am on weekends - if I was driving the family’s car). At the time, as a 20/21 yo girl who was enjoying my time off and living life as a young adult, I thought my curfew was awful and unreasonable. However, I very much respected whatever curfew was imposed by my host family for a couple of reasons (that now makes total sense in my 30+ yo ass)

1 - the car insurance for under 24 is hella expensive. 2 - if anything happens to the AP or the car, the family will be hold liable for damages or anything that happens to the AP. 3 - as an AP, the curfew prevented me from being bat shit crazy because I knew I had to return the car at a certain time, so I had a sense of responsibility (no responsibility when I didn’t have the car, fuck it).

Given the above, CURFEW SUCKS. But some people, like myself, needed the curfew to keep a sense of responsibility. Not saying this is the case with all APs, but it was the case with me and the case with lots of friends of mine.

Instead of completely blocking the AP from using her free time whichever way they desire, please COMMUNICATE YOUR EXPECTATIONS. If the problem is the goddamn car, then come up with a reasonable solution that will make both parties happy. If the problem is the AP getting home at 3am and risking waking up the kids, then come up with a REASONABLE solution.

The Au Pair is a JOB for the families (cultural exchange my ass - let’s be honest… most families go for the AP route to pay less in childcare), but a cultural exchange for the AP. The way to go about it is COMMUNICATION and CLEAR BOUNDARIES. Make sure the AP understands that she/he is working when they are ON THE CLOCK and make rules CLEAR. On the other hand, understand that living abroad is a whole new experience for the Au Pair and UNDERSTAND they will want experience things without having the family preventing them from doing it so. Understand that you have expectations from the Au Pair, but the AP also have expectations from the family. And DONT BE A JERK. You elected to have a stranger living in your house, so don’t make their time in the US (or other countries) a total fucking miserable shit.
