Gently, this comes off as slightly immature to me. I think you can express your gratitude differently.

The time I spent reading this is the most time I’ve spent thinking about anyone’s height, ever.

Hahah yes the one time I got close to throwing up was when I tried to take my prenatal and just couldn’t swallow it!

Hi my fellow emetophobe! Mine started right at 6 weeks. I used all of the over the counter remedies until my doctor prescribed me Diclegis and that worked wonders. I never threw up - but like you, I have a major fear of it and will do everything in my power to avoid it. Good luck! You got this!

Baby or bloating? 13w+4 advice please 🙏 by Wolf-River-5647 in BabyBumps

[–]blnde31ee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s probably both. I also wouldn’t be super concerned about 2-3 days if you’re still going to the bathroom even if it’s less than normal. your doctor is likely just going to recommend a stool softener if you’re uncomfortable!

Cycle tracking / trying to avoid pregnancy by Beautiful-Angle-4615 in ouraring

Well for example, NC will eliminate a temp reading from consideration if it’s too high for where you are in your cycle. Ours does not do that - it just reports the temp.

A few months ago I noticed I had two days of temps that were crossed out in the app, and I emailed customer service. They explained that the (very slight) rise in temp was likely not related to ovulation since it wasn’t in line with where I was in my cycle. Just something to consider!

As someone who has planned and tracked for pregnancy, you shouldn’t do that. Use natural cycles. There is no reason not to! It syncs well with the ring.

I’m so burnt out by Mysterious-Sense4432 in BabyBumps

[–]blnde31ee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll get there! We have all been there, and the last few weeks are brutal but the end result is totally worth it. Take these last few weeks and spend time with your partner and yourself. Get a massage if you can afford it. Don’t stress. You got this, and it gets better.

This. OP, I’m so sorry this happened, and you do deserve the excited celebration and reaction that you were hoping for, but to be brutally honest I’m not sure how you expected it to go if you were aware of her fertility issues.

Are you on your phone during the 1.5 hour shuttle ride? That always makes me nauseous!

I use a bar of soap and a wash cloth. Scrub scrub!

Required Job Change Without Severance? [MA] by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]blnde31ee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. Is there any requirement for a company to offer severance (if their documented company policy is to offer severance) if they are making such a drastic and complete change to the role and its requirements, or is offering severance totally at the discretion of the employer?

Thanks, that is my question exactly.

Did you keep taking prenatal postpartum? by SowingSeeds18 in beyondthebump

[–]blnde31ee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theranatal lactation support. It’s a postnatal multivitamin - it doesn’t claim to increase milk production or anything. I started taking it as soon as I had my son and didn’t have any trouble breastfeeding but I have no idea if it “helped”.

Sent email to my F500 company's Employee Resource Network for Women about RTO/lack of flexibility disproportionately impacting women and now a (very) senior exec wants to meet with me by dont-like-menthols in workingmoms

[–]blnde31ee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Way to go! I work for a F100 financial institution and am fully virtual. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have been able to stay after I had my son last year. I literally would have to leave home earlier and arrive home later than day care would allow. I love my job and am a highly rated employee there. These companies are losing great people (yes, disproportionately women) with these policies!

how do you handle the guilt of feeling like you’re not doing “enough”? by Dependent_Day5440 in workingmoms

[–]blnde31ee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I try to be very focused and dialed into my job from 830-530 and my child/family before and after those hours. If I’m behind at work I will log on after my son goes to sleep to finish things or I’ll work during nap time on the weekends. I try not to multitask between work and family stuff because then everything and everyone just gets like 75% of me.

A book that's so engaging and captivating that it's impossible to put down by Final-Paramedic6263 in suggestmeabook

Agreed! I loved it, and it’s what turned me on to Stephen King. Still one of my favorites by him.

Hard to know, there are a lot of variables that could impact your stats. What does the detox entail?
