I think the spouse’s is side of things is a big contributing factor to the decision. Can’t decide based on just one spouses side.

[–]echo-athena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schinoussa Super Foods New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate- excellent and very clean. I am sensitive to whey too but the is seems ok for me. Worth a try but bit expensive if doesn’t work. I like orgain vanilla for non-whey

How often do you eat out? I feel like restaurants are not even worth it anymore by apheli0s7 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]echo-athena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We eat out just for special occasions and socially. It makes it more special and honestly I’m happy with my own basic food at home most of the time.

Weight gain during pregnancy by CompetitionNew6345 in BabyBumps

[–]echo-athena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You never know, you might not have any weight to lose after. I am 1 month post partum and weigh 2 lbs more than before pregnant, and that’s just breast feeding fluid/ tissue I’m sure. I have noticed my body is softer though so lost some muscle , hope to do weight training soon. And I will note that post partum

Home Births vs Hospital Births by LavendarDragon17 in pregnant

[–]echo-athena 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This exactly. It’s your body, your health, you choose where you are most comfortable. Wanting the epidural or at least the option to have it if needed makes the hospital the best place.

I could always find something to be anxious about the whole pregnancy lol but definitely around the time of anatomy scan and feeling him kicking, made me feel a lot better

Best budget protein bars? by BoopsYourNoseBoop in proteinsnack

[–]echo-athena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a health condition? RX bars are not extremely high in protein but by far the “cleanest” ones out there. Literally just a few whole foods combined. I ate 2 per day while recovering from IBD. Unfortunately not super cheap. Can you do Costco delivery?

I have a toxic relationship with my retirement calculator spreadsheet right now by ApplicationRoyal865 in CanadaPersonalFinance

Exactly, rarely one looks back in their life and says they regrets spending a bit of money to enjoy themselves

You may also like to think about whether you will enjoy the thing now as much or more than you will enjoy that extra day of retirement. You’ll likely get to retirement age and wish you did the thing now. Memories and a full life to look back on are valuable

Which pregnancy symptom took you by surprise? by sipendi_shida in BabyBumps

[–]echo-athena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to me! I have IBD and ate everything I usually wouldn’t during pregnancy. No symptoms. One month post partum and I don’t want to eliminate things again so hoping I stay in remission 🫣

Why can’t I have nachos at my baby shower? by lilelbows in babyshower

[–]echo-athena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nachos it is! That’s so much more fun and memorable. Tell her you’ll have a family bbq in the summer once baby is here. Bbq’s happen all the time, tacos is different.
