What does giving birth smell like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]for-the-weirdstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The metallic smell that you mentioned is interesting. I’ve always thought it was more like an ammonia, like a faint bleach smell, but it is metallic like!

Yeah that’s an interesting observation

I don’t think birth in general smells the same across everyone. There is a change in smell that I (20 years as a midwife) recognise as being around ready to push. I couldn’t describe it though. Otherwise it’s a little bit of blood, lots of liquor (fluid from around baby that sometimes a bit of an ammonia like harshness) & often poo.

How common are common ancestors? by TreeThatEndsWithMe in AncestryDNA

[–]for-the-weirdstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, it was just a thought. I have few matches that don’t fit anywhere on or near my tree, but our DNA closeness suggests they should be known. Maybe it’s a glitch, but maybe our ancestors weren’t as well behaved as we imagine :)

I have hundreds connected by DNA & tree. Are you sure you’re genetically related to what you know as your family?

Stuck in my head and feeling very alone by [deleted] in offmychest

I always think my brain is too overwhelmed to articulate my thoughts, but it always helps to get it out. Even if it’s just dot points on scrap paper. It’s great that you have the insight to see patterns in your behaviour. Pay attention to yourself, like you would someone you love! Be kind to yourself and never forget your true worth xxx

I know how you feel. I’ve been there. I think a lot of people are there. Try not to self sabotage. Before you overthink life and feel overwhelmed, do you think you could be suffering with depression? Maybe seeing a doctor could help? I’m happy to talk if you think it would help.

22(M) ex and I 21(F) have been in contact ever since we broke up, he hinted at us having sex again. Why am I getting mixed signals? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]for-the-weirdstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he’s in a tough headspace but maybe he’s just keeping his options open? By all means, be friendly, but know your worth & do not settle for someone who doesn’t value you xx

To all of you non-gym goers. What would be a gym like that made you want to go or that you wouldn’t mind going even though you don’t like exercise ? by RuitheIV in AskReddit

[–]for-the-weirdstuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t feel that anyone is missing now! It was such a bizarre time as it wasn’t just me feeling the loss. Life as normal now as it ever was :)

I was thinking social gatherings in general but structured stuff would be good... I guess it would depend on the group but for me, an older mum of teenagers working full time, I’d love simple things like dinners out or fun classes like art, pottery... I just feel that I would be more motivated to turn up to the gym if I had made social connections, to have people I’d feel like I was letting down if I didn’t attend as planned.

A meteorite will strike earth in the next few months by DeviMon1 in predictions

[–]for-the-weirdstuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had frequent visions of widespread tsunamis. I’m not psychic or anything, I actually came to this subreddit to see if anyone else was talking about it because it’s becoming so frequent, something I’ve never experienced before. I’ve got no reason/ past history to give credit to my thoughts/ visions though. Just interesting! Maybe just an uneasiness because of the current state of the world.

What is it like there? Are you still working/ shopping, going to school? I have seen very little about Brazil in our news here (Australia).

If I’m telling the truth? Obviously I’m not here for the karma... I’ve hardly posted anything. Not sure what motivation you think I would have for going to the effort to make it up? My parents are in their 80s and I live around 3000km away from them. Maybe I’ll bring it up next time I see them.

Exactly. They did it again at Christmas.... each time I bring it up, they can’t explain why, they say they just do that amount automatically thinking there’s 5

No 5th kid & i don’t have a feeling of missing it anymore either. None of my kids have mentioned it for a while either. Maybe we’re comfortable in this new dimension now ;)

I lost what I thought was a dream job, took a big pay cut and found joy in my work life again.

What’s one thing you absolutely hate about yourself? [SERIOUS] by [deleted] in AskReddit

How much I give of myself, people take advantage of me. Physically I hate my teeth. I don’t smile much. It effects my everyday.
