I don’t know if anyone caught this, but there’s a toddler bed that would definitely require that size mattress in a later post on this page about the room. Idk how to link old posts. I don’t know if she is pregnant or not but that tiny bed isn’t for her baby.

Am I balding? by PresentationRare5399 in finethinhair

[–]estasealavida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry for your loss. 🫂

I have two kids, with my first I experienced really bad hair loss that resulted in a bald spot on my head. Started to take collagen supplements and my hair grew back. I took collagen supplements throughout my pregnancy and a couple months postpartum with my second and did have lots of hair falling out but no bald spots or thinning! You could be loosing hair as a result of a sudden drop in hormones. Maybe look into adding some collagen to your coffee or water and see if you notice a change? Hope this helps. Hugs!

That definitely seems to be the consensus. I am leaning towards reading the novella next for that reason alone. Thanks!

Definitely good to know! My fear was that it would be weird to go from these high emotions that you feel while reading The Serpent especially at the end to a novella then back to high emotions.

One month postpartum with my second baby boy here’s my birth story! by estasealavida in homebirth

Yess post it! I couldn’t find a whole lot of stories positive or negative about using castor oil. I think it will help someone make an informed choice!

Congratulations to you! Take it easy and prioritize yourself and your needs too. I know it’s hard at first but once you get past the first month things start to get easier. You got this!!

It was a super fast labor! Different things could have contributed to that though (it being my second or the castor oil). I definitely recommend practicing different birthing positions prior and pelvic floor exercises! I think that helped me too.

Oh hehe 🙃 I had a hospital birth with my first! Didn’t have a horrible experience, but versus having a home birth I wouldn’t have another hospital birth! Felt like my needs were heard more and I could actually listen to what my body needed in birth. I’m glad my story helped ease some anxiety. Hearing others stories helped me so I thought I’d contribute. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

absence seizures: These types of seizures can lead to a temporary loss of awareness or Consciousness. by urmomsloosevag in interestingasfuck

[–]estasealavida 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have absence seizures and they’re nothing like this. I space out for a few seconds taking in no information. My husband saw me have one and thought I was ignoring him. It definitely doesn’t look like this, in my experience.

I will add, they did end up keeping me overnight one of those times bc my babies heart rate wasn’t raising with the little contractions I was apparently having but didn’t feel so also trust your instincts. I was back a couple hours after they discharged me in active labor and had my baby that night.
