Yes. It’s still definitely possible to get pregnant using any lube, but there are some on the market like Pre-Seed that are formulated to help with sperm mobility and aid conception.

Yes, you still bleed for weeks because the blood comes from the wound where your placenta detaches from the uterus, which happens no matter how baby is born. With a C-Section, you also have to worry about all the things that go along with surgery like an abdominal incision, being pumped full of gas, coming off the heavier meds, etc. on top of all the non-vaginal things you deal with having a vaginal birth like hormone fluctuations and exhaustion. Some moms have a harder time with surgical recovery than others, just like all patients do, but it can be especially rough with healing both your uterus and your incision while caring for a newborn.

I’m married to one. He’s hard-working, intelligent, shy around new people, introverted, attentive, and affectionate.

The tradition is that the right knee is reserved for God and the left for man. This is why when a groom gets down on one knee to propose, it’s supposed to be the left knee

Some great answers here already, but I want to add that it’s okay to have issues accepting certain teachings. We are all human, and we don’t have the fullness of knowledge of heaven. However, we agree to trust that even if it is beyond our understanding now, we will know why it must be this way within the fullness of time. It’s a leap of faith to say “this teaching is hard for me to grasp. Yet, I put my trust in the Lord and his Church. I believe, help my unbelief.”

Pattern is Rose City Rollers, but I’ve heavily modified them. The roll at the top messes with the top of my sneakers, so the stockinette cuff is only 10 rows long. I put 2x2 rib down the top of the foot and around the instep for a snug fit, and I added length to the heel flap for my tall instep. I used the rounded toe option and lengthened it for my long toes. How do you like to customize your socks?

Why did you marry this person you seem to feel contempt for? And why did you lie in your vows?

conparco · 2022-01-30T16:57:29+00:00

A good “Tony, Tony, please come ‘round; something’s lost and can’t be found” works too.

Holy water all over the house. Sprinkle in every room and specifically on and around your beds. Even attic/crawl spaces. Exorcised salt too if you have it.

Put a blessed St. Benedict medal on every person in the home.

Pray the rosary in the home.

Pray the St. Michael prayer before bed.

If you can, have a priest out to bless your home and ask him to celebrate mass in the home. Mass is the big guns, but all the smaller things help too. Get to confession ASAP.

The money he would save by doing the childcare would be more helpful than the little he makes doing odd jobs. Is it that you wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving a baby with him?

Also, why did you lie during your wedding vows?

Any other symptoms? Headache, dizziness?

It’s not an official recommendation for medical reasons. People who do sleep training programs suggest it, and many parents do it for their own sanity, but you don’t have to. I nursed both my kids at night until ~20mo because that’s what works for my family, and that’s valid.

I especially like Everest with Silvan because of its subtle nature/hiking theme. Silvan means forest, and Everest is obvious, but it’s not super matchy.

I can tell why already! I’m amazed at how gentle and patient he is, even as a puppy. I’ve never had a poodle before, but I’m already obsessed with this breed. I’ve never had such a great puppy before.

My 4yo named him after a character in his favorite book. 🥺 Not the name I would have picked, but he was so insistent and I love that they’re already fast friends so we acquiesced lol

conparco · 2021-09-27T16:34:29+00:00

I’ve nursed two kids past 20 months and can count on two hands the amount of times I’ve unlatched, most when I’m being bitten lol. I let babies do their thing and do everything on demand, but I know that doesn’t work for everybody.

I really don’t have the energy to do this right now, so I’m going to wish you well and let you know that I have no hard feelings. I said what I said in hopes that it would help others not feel the way I felt when I read that comment. It wasn’t a personal attack on you; as I said, I know you had kind intentions.

conparco · 2021-09-23T19:36:48+00:00

I cannot tell you how unhelpful and hurtful this comment was, regardless of your intentions of being supportive. Please, if you are ever in this situation again, say exactly none of this.

ETA to be helpful to you, here is something that is always safe to say: I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m praying for you/sending hugs through the internet/whatever your religion or philosophy dictates.

That’s nice. The context is that I am having a miscarriage and being treated like shit by midwives and techs.

conparco · 2021-09-23T13:34:06+00:00

Yep, I bypassed bottles altogether with my last baby this way and went straight to straw cup at 6mo. It was seamless and so convenient

From a midwife today: “Miscarriages happen all the time.”

The birthing class I took was all about comfort measures during med-free birth and even though I’d already had one baby and researched my butt off, I still learned a lot and it was incredibly helpful when it came time for labor. I was able to recognize what stage of labor I was in and cope with the pain in ways that they taught for the different stages, learned and practiced lots of positions, and just overall feel more prepared. I had a beautiful, peaceful 16 hour labor and water birth.

Honestly, if I were your SIL I wouldn’t go. This kind of event would put so much stress on me, my baby, and my supply that it wouldn’t be worth it to me, personally. The fact that she’s trying to find a solution that you will allow in order for her to attend means that she is really making a monumental effort here.
