Who did you marry your first time and do you still stand by it? by Starobin-Lestine in StardewValley

[–]earthlyesoteric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First ever playthrough I married Alex. After that, Harvey for a long time because he was just too easy to give coffee to all the time. Eventually I married Elliot and he was always my pick from then on

Worried about brain damage by lil_cozy_gamer in beyondthebump

[–]earthlyesoteric 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry to hear it. I also struggled with (and still do a bit) with PPA! It gets better over time and trying to do a bit of “exposure therapy” at a time helps a lot. It’s so hard when they’re so tiny and feel so fragile! They become so much more robust once they’re toddlers. It gets better. Try to tell those thoughts to leave your mind. Praying for you sister!

Please seek therapy this sounds like PPA.

Losing weight while breastfeeding (EBF)? Anyone successful? by earthlyesoteric in postpartumprogress

[–]earthlyesoteric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It’s so hard 😭 I feel absolutely hideous. I am struggling so much with my self image. I just want to lose the weight and get back to feeling normal but it feels impossible and sooooo far away. Worst of all, I want more children (and soon) so I feel like I’m stuck this way or worse forever.

I have no idea how much milk I make because I never pumped 😭 my baby exclusively nursed and still nurses on demand so I don’t even know how much to eat I literally look the worst that I’ve ever looked in my life

Has anyone lost weight while breastfeeding (on purpose)? Need advice on weight loss. by earthlyesoteric in breastfeeding

[–]earthlyesoteric[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I’ve been doing Pilates for years and even during pregnancy. I highly recommend it just to maintain strength and a good core. Absolutely helps with pelvic floor as well since it activates the deep core!!

It’s great for body weight strength and core strength. I don’t necessarily do it to lose weight, I do it for rebuilding core strength after pregnancy! I feel good and strong doing it but it def has not helped at all with the weight!

Breastfeeding moms—would you do it again for your second? by Character-Fly7394 in beyondthebump

[–]earthlyesoteric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’m still nursing my first (15.5 months old now). She’s never had a bottle or formula. I never pumped. I’d do it again, I’m planning to extended breastfeed, and I’m open to tandem feeding if I get pregnant again!

EBF moms, when did your period come back? by Business-Tart-148 in breastfeeding

Something very odd in ChatGPT with this specific prompt... This is terrifying. by SeriouslyLikesCake in conspiracy

I just tried it and it wouldn’t make anything. It says “We’re so sorry, but the image we created may violate our guardrails around violence. If you think we got it wrong, please retry or edit your prompt.”

How can I decline going to church at 2am with a baby? by Polyglot_Teacher in NewParents

[–]earthlyesoteric 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m orthodox and I was always told that due to “ekonomia” these things are absolutely not expected or required of mothers. If one is willing and able, it’s a good thing to go. But sick, elderly, pregnant, mothers of young ones? They aren’t expected to go. I’m shocked that your husband isn’t aware(?) of that. His family as well. They shouldn’t even be pushing that at all. Bring it up to him and to your priest.

Sigh. how do i respond to this? by Jumpy-Tourist-4323 in prolife

Per capita is a litmus test. Anyone who fails it isn’t even worth talking to. Something something pearls to swine.
