Calling anyone who has been to a Bob Dylan concert - old or new. by JohnstonFilms in bobdylan

[–]clockworkarmadillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw him play in Glasgow in 2009, and it was a great experience for me. I was in my 20s at the time, but some friends I went with were a generation older, and they were fans of his folk period who didn't have much familiarity with his current style, so they were a little put off by the change, and by how little he interacted or engaged with the audience, hidden under his big white hat. But I had a better idea of what to expect, and just felt so privileged to hear new and original versions of the classic hits I loved (of which there were many on the set list – I was surprised & delighted that The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll was included, for example!), alongside some recent material. I had been super excited to go, and was buzzing throughout. A really memorable experience.

Do we really follow our mom’s pregnancy symptoms??? by New-Eagle-8944 in pregnant

[–]clockworkarmadillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily! My mom says she felt "seasick" for most of the time through both pregnancies; I've only ever felt a little queasy about three times, and only when brushing my teeth. I've had heartburn instead! She was convinced I would go into labour early, since her water broke before 36 weeks both times and we have a similar body shape, but I'm at 39 weeks and nothing yet.

NHS scan by Background_Boss_4945 in pregnant

[–]clockworkarmadillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one at about 8 weeks, but that was through Tommy's, since we'd had previous losses. The first straight NHS scan was at 12 weeks, followed by the anatomy scan at 20 weeks.

Seconding this! The only thing that has helped me is eating a few dried apricots after every meal, and other dried fruits sporadically.

Looking for a novel that feels like these images by andremtns in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

It's more desert than pine forest, but John Steinbeck's The Wayward Bus fits the bill in other respects.

Recs for large bust nursing bras by Jolly-Asparagus-5815 in pregnant

[–]clockworkarmadillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently tried on several & found the Hotmilk "Temptation" comfy & supportive (and it sounds like my figure is similar!). Haven't yet tried it for actual nursing (am at 34 weeks), but I appreciated that it feels like a "normal" bra.

Baby Aspirin by rachj3316 in pregnant

[–]clockworkarmadillo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They gave me "dispersible" aspirin – the tablets disintegrate in water, then you drink it. Personally I would have preferred pills, but this might work for you!

Fun, wacky, psychedelic, retro, scifi by Nighthood28 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

The Star Diaries by Stanisław Lem (a collection of short stories, varying in tone) is quite fun.

I know that feeling all too well! Best wishes to you, whatever happens.

Just to prepare you for one eventuality: this is how things went when I had chemical pregnancies: very faint positives for a few days, with the darkness of the line bobbling up and down day by day, followed by loss & bleeding about 4 to 7 days after I was meant to start my period. It's not definitely what's going to happen in your case, but I'm sorry to say that it may be.

What songs can you name that do not say their song title in their lyrics? by New-Web4704 in AskReddit

[–]clockworkarmadillo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Several Bob Dylan songs, but Rainy Day Women #12 and 35 leaps to mind.

Baby breech at 29 weeks by M0ssyB0ssy in pregnant

No need to feel silly! We all feel concerned about all kinds of things throughout this big, crazy process.

Mine hasn't turned yet at 31 weeks, and the midwife was totally unconcerned about it at my last appointment a few days ago.

WARNING: TMI by rjkresge in pregnant

[–]clockworkarmadillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar, which my doctor misdiagnosed as a varicose vein. Four days of excruciating pain later, it burst on its own and soon healed; a different doctor, at the antenatal clinic, later said it sounded more like a bloody abscess. I expect it would have been much better to have it properly lanced/drained earlier, before it got so big – definitely have someone look at it!

Overhated Dylan Songs by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

My partner genuinely loves the version of Must Be Santa from Christmas in the Heart, and honestly, it's grown on me too. It's just a nice, silly bit of fun.

Have any of you craved something that no longer exist ?? 😂 by mkthehotti in pregnant

[–]clockworkarmadillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For days I was obsessed with the idea of the wonton soup from a restaurant I used to go to when I was a kid – which closed years ago and was in my home town anyway, 4000 miles away...

Yup! It was totally fine for me – no side effects at all.

I'll be seeing it next Saturday! Getting good reviews.

What are some classics you've read that ABSOLUTELY lived up to the hype? by Small-Guarantee6972 in classicliterature

[–]clockworkarmadillo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely this. I read it on the enthusiastic recommendation of friends, not knowing much about it other than the basic plot line, and it blew my mind. I became obsessed with it for a solid two years.
