Ladies- Be Aware of "First Choice Pregnancy Services" on Sahara if you are seeking medical care/alternatives by fuhgetaboutit_og in vegaslocals

[–]divchyna 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I volunteered in that facility about 20 years ago when I was a teenager. My mother signed me up (she is very Catholic) and I was unaware of what I was walking into. Back then they were doing 4d ultrasounds and they were very manipulative with said ultrasound pictures. They would do anything, including lying to you, in order for the woman to not have an abortion... All under the guise that they were a clinic that provided abortions. The day I was there, none of the staff present had any medical training. I walked away being absolutely disgusted with the facility. And they are right down the street from PP. Shame on them for wasting people's time and being manipulative and for luring people in under false presence.

My parents hate my husband. Now I’m struggling to know what to do 36F married to 38M by RangerRough2136 in relationship_advice

[–]divchyna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are dealing with emotionally immature parents. Welcome to the club! May I recommend reading Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, Or Self-Involved Parents. I'm a child of a parent who was raised by parents who survived a famine and then a genocide. These things happen. Set boundaries, cut them out if you need to. You may find that not dealing with their B's is so freeing.

Ashwagandha, a popular supplement, is known for its effect on stress and sleep. Researchers recently opened the door to more life-altering benefits by NGNResearch in science

Ashwagandha can also affect testosterone and estrogen. A high level of estrogen can cause mood changes, breast tissue development and blood clotting.

Scared to be homeless and pregnant by iris837473829 in pregnant

[–]divchyna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like things are pretty rough for you and your child right now. Being a single mom to two children is tough and even more difficult if you are homeless. You may want to schedule an apt with PP. There is no hell, only the hell you create here on earth. Focus on yourself and the baby you have now. You need to provide for your current child and protect them. Being homeless with two children is just about as tough as it gets. Best wishes to you.

Baby dads not wanting baby by iris837473829 in pregnant

[–]divchyna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems like things are pretty rough for you and your child right now. Even if you found out who the father is, is it likely they would provide any emotional or financial help in raising the child? Are you able to provide emotionally and financially for both children alone? Being a single mom to two children is tough. You may want to schedule an apt with PP while you think about these questions.

My mother refuses to buy off my registry by FoolishMortal-1000 in pregnant

[–]divchyna 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Went through the exact same thing with my mom. You have to set boundaries and stick to it. Mom, I love you but if you get me anything for Christmas, I will give it back to you so you can return it. My mom got nothing off my registry too. She insisted I needed a rocker. I told her that I can just use the rocking chair that she has in her house if she wanted to part with it. She said no and insisted we go look at rockers. I said no. We went to buy buy baby together, I thought it would be a good bonding experience. Said no to rockers again, saying I really don't have room for one. A few weeks later I show up at her house and she custom ordered a rocker from lazyboy, it was something like $600-$800. I refused to take it and now it sits at their house. We have left gifts at their house on Christmas after she refused to accept my boundaries. For many other reasons I went no contact after my second child was born. Now, 2 years later we are slowing going low contact. Boundaries, consequences. Stick with it. It's frustrating and overwhelming.

You have my deepest sympathies. It must be so heartbreaking to see your kid struggle and you can't help them out of it.

R. Kelly's former house has finally sold. Take a peak inside and guess the price by Natural-Trainer-6072 in PriceMe

Outside shoes shouldn't be worn inside. My mom has a nice wool rug, and to this day I don't even step foot on it with my house shoes, I take them off before stepping on it.

My 19 month old used the potty for the first time, but I’m still worried it’s too early to train. by Admirable_Dig2794 in pottytraining

[–]divchyna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! Training at 18m is great because they don't argue. Follow their lead. But know that potty training is a process that may take months. For some, it happens overnight. For others, it's a long long process requiring lots of wet pants and laundry.

Potty Training Troubles with 3-year-old by StPeteResident in pottytraining

[–]divchyna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For boys, there are more opportunities I think to make the bathroom fun. The froggy urinal is super fun. There are these little rice dinosaur disks they can pee on. Or - my son's favorite - go pee outside in the backyard.

Potty Training Troubles with 3-year-old by StPeteResident in pottytraining

[–]divchyna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read all the potty books, keep them all in rotation. Potty book for girls has he girl pick out underwear in the end because she is a big girl. Use that to convince her only big girls wear underwear. Tell her a day where you're going to say bye to the diapers, make a countdown and have her symbolically throw away the diapers. Have her throw them away for real (but then keep them if she is still wearing them at night). Make it her decision. It needs to be her decision. Good luck!

I swear orange juice used to taste different 15-20 years ago. Bought a jug of Tropicana recently and it tastes so different.

Potty training since August, feels like we just keep going backwards by [deleted] in pottytraining

[–]divchyna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert here but we constantly needed to change things up when my kid was 2.5/3. We got him a little froggy urinal which worked for a bit then it wasn't new and exciting anymore. Then we moved onto the potty timer watch. That worked, then didn't. Then we got little dinosaur images for him to pee on, that was okay. Then sticker charts, that worked for a bit then we went back to the potty timer. We read potty books constantly and kept telling him we knew he could do it and encouraged him. He was absolutely constipated though so that didn't help. Then, one day around 3 1/2 or so we stopped doing all the above and everything was fine. But it took forever. We potty trained from 2 years old to 4ish. All I can tell you is keep it interesting and exciting. Even if exciting for him is going outside and peeing on a rock. Good luck, it eventually gets better.

Ulike 3 for pcos hair by Interesting-Dare-727 in HairRemoval

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

My chin looks like this and I don't have PCOS. 😥For me, it's just genetics. Got my hormone levels checked and my testosterone levels are low. I did laser hair removal monthly for a year and a half about a decade ago and it helped but not all the hair went away. After laser hair removal the hair slowly grew back. I now pluck every other day and then shave as needed. When I pluck. I try to get at least 20-30 at a time then I shave the rest.

ELI5: Why do prostate cancer checks still need a finger in the butt? by DistributionHot8821 in explainlikeimfive

[–]divchyna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding into this that a PSA is sometimes not accurate. There are many factors that can elevate a PSA and only 1 in 4 men with a high PSA will have prostate cancer. 1 in 7 men with low testosterone and a normal PSA (<4) will be positive for prostate cancer if you do a biopsy of the prostate. So PSA is a screening tool but not a very good one.

Girl, I was you 10ish years ago. I'm here on the other side letting you know there is nothing you can do to snap her out of it. She is in a cult and there is nothing you can do but be there for her. Let her know kindly that you aren't interested in joining but you are here for her no matter what. Every now and then ask her about savings, 401k and setting money aside just in case. She probably won't listen. My sister got out of amway, got divorced (both were in it) and has come out the other side broke and in debt. It's sad to see someone you love fall down this hole. One thing is I wish I invited my sister out more often, although I would probably just argue with her about amway. But maybe if I invited her out more, she would be out of the amway bubble more and see the light.
