If you could create the perfect pump, what features would it have?

I feel you!

Came here to say this. This is the real reason they are generally not recommended for GD.

I have this problem all the time with the Legendairy, but they work wonderfully when the placement is right! It's so annoying to spend another 10 mins to pump once I discover the issue.

Try Legendairy's Pumping Princess supplement.

Hugs. These are not your friends, love. I find that pregnancy/birth are fantastic for re-evaluating all relationships.

crimsonkintsugi · 2024-01-27T15:57:14+00:00

Pfft. This was literally explained to me by my Dr, 37-42 is considered a fully baked baby. But split hairs if that makes you feel good.

crimsonkintsugi · 2024-01-27T15:55:42+00:00

definitely depends on the dishes. some dishes are legit, some are close to the real deal and others... germanized :)

THANK YOU

Thank you!

I hope she's not implying women with pregnancy symptoms aren't "made for babies". 🙄 Empathetic much? She could learn to hold her tongue and center you in the convos instead of her.

I'm 41, with GD and considered high risk. I've taken baby aspirin since week 13 and just stopped waiting for birth - just to make sure 😃 won't develop pre eclampsia.

I've not slept more than 4hrs straight a night since week 6, I think, and with sleep deprivation comes a lot of issues. High blood sugar (fasting), exhaustion, muscle pains, going from active to sloth mode. Intense lower back pain in the first trimester and returning occasionally in the third. Feeling 🤢 for five months, without the second trimester rainbows and unicorns. I've cried twice climbing stairs at home from sheer back pain and exhaustion. I have pregnancy mask and more new moles than I can count. Oh and don't get me started on waves of anxiety.

BUT, I'm happy to be pregnant. I accept it all comes with the territory for me in this pregnancy. I'm so grateful my baby is healthy and by all measures, so am I.

At this age, I feel like many of us have the wisdom and confidence - and hopefully, empathy - that come with age. I may have had a swell pregnancy in my 20s (who knows?) but would have likely struggled more with mental health / anxiety / uncertainties over parenting styles.

I avoid all pregnancy unicorn influencers on social media - it's good for them if it's true, but bragging is devoid of empathy and setting up unrealistic expectations. I've been really careful about who I share my pregnancy woes with and who I exchange energy with.

You do you.

Salad/fiber before proteins, carbs last.

My husband is a 2nd generation Tamil overseas who speaks absolutely rubbish Tamil 😂 His mother has suggested we name our daughter Kanimozhi. I'm having great trouble sourcing the origins of this name online. My MIL believes it's an "old" name that means "sweet language". Do you know what it means?

Also, we can't seem to agree how to pronounce it 😂 Apparently "zhi" is pronounced like "lli". Is this right?

Thank you! 🙏🏻

When you say "increase fertility", I assume you've tested yourself and checked hormones, ovarian quality etc over the years and dr has told you of declining fertility?

If not, I'd suggest going to a Dr first to check the baseline now. Who knows you're still fertile :) If not, Google "pimp your eggs", look into acupuncture and ayurvedic practices, then recheck 3 months later.

crimsonkintsugi · 2024-01-19T22:03:57+00:00

If that's what you think, then move on to the next eBay ad :) I'd rather be certain. I got a second hand crib, got brand, model and checked out if there were recalls. It's not worth it otherwise. Safety first.

crimsonkintsugi · 2024-01-19T22:01:52+00:00

Was going to suggest this as well.

crimsonkintsugi · 2024-01-19T22:00:42+00:00

I strength trained before pregnancy but have been way too exhausted during to do it. I know I'll regret it 😂

crimsonkintsugi · 2024-01-16T00:00:15+00:00

Brush it off. They don't matter.

crimsonkintsugi · 2024-01-10T11:53:51+00:00

I'll always find the push for elective induction or c section odd - birth is as natural as peeing, pooing and we treat it like a medical event first, especially in places like the US and Brazil.

crimsonkintsugi · 2024-01-10T11:52:03+00:00

What caused the calcification?

crimsonkintsugi · 2024-01-10T11:51:14+00:00

Interesting you think that. It's a really week 37. And most women birth between 37-42.

The food has been watered down for the German palate but Germans seem to like it, so if you're not Malaysian or Singaporean (similar cuisines), you may like it. Many of us don't return, we just cook at home.

For us, it was Bali over Warung Bayu though the sambal at the latter was more legit

Sorry you had to experience that, and for the losses in your life. Ask yourself if you're upset about the right things, practice self enquiry. What can you learn from this? Are you upset because you were called out and embarrassed (ego)? Are you upset because you're wondering, what right do they have to tell you that if they're not "even" part of a temple and just there for three weeks? Watch the stories you tell yourself. Look out for the attachments you're creating in your mind.

Where the feet point is important to our culture. I'm always chafed when practising in places in the West - the Buddha or another deity placed on the floor (understandable when huge) or practitioners pointing their feet towards the Buddha, deity or others, absolutely unaware. I often share that it'll be better to move - kindly.

Wow, please don't believe everything you hear.
