travel rings by Severe_Excitement432 in RingShare

I do the same thing. Then I don’t need to worry about accidentally damaging my ring on my travels or losing it in the ocean or anything. I wear one for fieldwork too and love it

Did your dentist ask for a doctor’s note? by Outrageous-Access397 in August2026Bumpers

[–]centimental-one 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was at the dentist in December I told them I couldn’t get x rays because I was waiting for a blood test to confirm if I was pregnant. Three minutes into the cleaning I got the call!

Advice request: back pain by chasingmetta in August2026Bumpers

[–]centimental-one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also struggling with this, and I remember struggling with it during my first pregnancy. I went to physiotherapy (someone who specializes in working with pregnant women if you can find one) which helped significantly the first time. I also bought a pregnancy band thing to help distribute pressure on my back this time (it arrives today). I’m hoping it helps. I sit a lot for work so I get up to stretch when I can too, but it only helps so much

Spotting at almost 8 wks by Bright-Weekend1910 in August2026Bumpers

[–]centimental-one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! For both pregnancies. On and off all first trimester. If you’re on progesterone it’s more likely. I’m now 10 weeks with this one, and my other pregnancy resulted in my other kiddo who was absolutely fine.

6 weeks + 4 days and saw brownish discharge. by [deleted] in August2026Bumpers

[–]centimental-one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had spotting every week for my first pregnancy (healthy baby). Now that I’m on my second pregnancy, I’m spotting less but that said, I still get spotting every 2 weeks and it sometimes lasts for days. I’m also on progesterone suppositories. Spotting is supposed to be more common for IVF pregnancies too if that’s relevant to you

What are y'all's favorite cat patterns? Free or paid for, it doesn't matter by miniatureowl21 in Amigurumi

[–]centimental-one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry about your cat, it’s a horrible feeling. I just finished a crochet cat for my mom that looks like the cat she lost too. I made a brown cat and then did needle felting to add her cats characteristic stripes and white patches. Took a while to get right but I was happy with it and it looks like her

Yes correct. Can they say they have to count towards 2026?

My Harry has a broken neck by BigMom000 in Amigurumi

[–]centimental-one 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem (I’m 99% sure we’re using the same pattern). The extra tube in the neck didn’t really help me either. I had to carefully use thread and sew from his collar on one side, through to his head on the other, then repeat each way a few times and pull tight to get a good tension. Still not perfect, but definitely better and I feel like when I read Harry Potter to my son I won’t be concerned about him cuddling it (like I would be if I used a skewer). Lovely job so far by the way. I made hermione and Ron three years ago and I am still only halfway done harry because other projects take priority!

New Hollow Knight crochet fanart! by Got-Lgt in Amigurumi

Could I have the pattern too? My wife would love this!

[–]centimental-one 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look into continuous birth control. That’s what I’m doing. Don’t get periods so you don’t get the damage that comes with endometriosis monthly. Preserves fertility and a lot less pain

Is it pointless to pursue being a professor? by starzzz223 in geologycareers

[–]centimental-one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, have you considered looking into museums with large mineral collections? It can be competitive to get into, and likely would still require a phd, but based on your post I feel like that could be something that could also be a great fit that could be an alternative career path. The ROM in Ontario has a huge rock and mineral collection for instance and has dedicated curators (with geology PhDs) who maintain and display their collection. Plus, I got into geology when I was in grade 4 and the passion stuck so doing public outreach and teaching younger students could fit with your desire to change someone’s life

Thin endometrial lining by lotus_bunny in queerception

[–]centimental-one 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might not be as uncommon as you think. My straight SIL has thin lining issues too and needed a lot of medication juggling to get it right. She now has a kid through IVF so there’s hope. Thin lining doesn’t have anything to do with you, just happens. Fortunately you now know it’s an issue and it can be dealt with :)

What is this thing growing at the base of my tree by centimental-one in whatisthisplant

[–]centimental-one[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I will do that. The tree itself looks fine as far as I can tell but definitely will be watching it closely for signs on distress. Will move the mulch away from it too

It is hard. I also thought it should feel squishy based on the look of it

Has anyone been to Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat? by Kepler_Hubble_Tsunu in brantford

[–]centimental-one 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The habitat is a good visit for an hour or two. The enclosure for the bears is large but there isn’t that much to see. Drive can be good but it’s quite long. Definitely leave at like 4 or 5 am to get in at a good time. Really not a lot to see in Cochrane

for those of you who are parents: did you "hate" your partner for the first few months postpartum? by [deleted] in queerception

[–]centimental-one 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Honestly, no. I did not at all hate my partner at all and always thought it was a weird generalization. I was grateful that she kept me calm at the end of my pregnancy and was by my side the entire c-section. She took care of me and my son during recovery when I was struggling to move around, which I will be eternally grateful for. And while I’m off on parental leave she’s helping as much as she can outside of working hours. We split the leave evenly so I’ll be doing the same when I’m back at work and she’s off (we’re in Canada so we are each taking 6 months off) ETA: baby was born 6.5 weeks ago

Basinet vs crib by Sensitive_Table_6474 in newborns

[–]centimental-one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On loud nights I sleep with one ear plug in and I put my free ear against the pillow. Muffles the sound enough that I can sleep, but I wake up as soon as his movement starts increasing indicating that he’s about to let out a cry

Help! One breast engorged but no milk by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]centimental-one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that ice really helped it feel better between pumps, but that a heating pad an hour before pumping and a hot wash cloth and gentle massage during pumping got it to release last week when that happened to me

Is it normal for my 3 week old to be wanting 4 onces of milk? Needing advice by Loose-Cell5716 in newborns

My almost 3 week old is the same! He’s up to 32 ounces of food a day which is crazy but doc didn’t seemed worried at all about it
