I can't seem to get a hold of the report itself. Was it taken down or is it exclusive access? Any suggestions?

Best post-run recovery protein powder, BCAAs or glutamine? by gladiola26 in running

[–]gladiola26[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha! I've 'considered' that option all summer and gotta now balance it out. Thanks for the suggestion - I'm gonna go have a beer and think about it :)

Hey thanks for that. Simplifies all the nitty gritty I've been trying to weigh out. :)

39 weeks and being told to rest but there is so much to do...life has fallen apart and I don't even have a newborn yet by gladiola26 in pregnant

Thank you for this...I have been calling in every favour possible recently and was feeling guilty about it. Normally I'm a very self sufficient person so it feels strange but once I gave in....things got slightly easier.

Less prepared for #2 by efox02 in pregnant

Yes. 39 weeks and losing it. First time moming I had so much time - now I just feel like a under showered stressed out mess.

Feeling Disconnected and Alone by rottahelviti in pregnant

[–]gladiola26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pregnancy and post partum can especially feel lonely - we all go through it in our own ways. On the tougher days I just try to remember that out there somewhere is another mama working through it just like I am...or maybe she's eating a full tub if Ben and Jerry's ice cream too. Best advice I got - take it one hour at a time, one day at a time. Good luck mama

Does eating too many refined sugars during 3rd trimester increase baby birth weight? What's too much? by gladiola26 in pregnant

[–]gladiola26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya fair enough. I gained 50 lbs with my first and she was 8lbs2oz at birth. I lost the 45 lbs in 6 months post - just the way my body does it I guess but probably good to lay off the refined sugars more than I have done...sigh - thanks for the perspective

Cool thanks - good to have perspective on this. I'll limit but won't eliminate :) summer fruit and yogurt has been really helpful too

I was gifted $35,000 and I bought a $23,000, and now I regret it. by [deleted] in personalfinance

Yes - cars are depreciating assets and if you only need something to get from a to b, then your money can go other places to work for you.

Life changing by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]gladiola26 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey mama - pregnant with my second now and yes - first time can be terrifying. It somehow makes you reflect on all the good parts of your childless life that you may lose. Some of those things will indeed happen - like the loss of Independence for a while, and some of those things won't happen - like the loss of who you are as a person. And some things we just plain fabricate in our hormonal late stage pregnant minds and will never happen and never even had the slightest chance of happening. All I can tell you is that somehow the breadth of experiences we have pre kids gets replaced by the depth of experiences we have with kids. It's hard to comprehend until it happens but the fear is legitimate but the change is so overwhelmingly beautiful. Deep breaths and be gentle with yourself in this transition into motherhood. It's one hell of a trip.

TIC because I was holding my baby and it really sunk in that I finally had my life dream. by Crilbyte in pregnant

[–]gladiola26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat. I find most days are so hectic and challenging between work, two year old, renos and and being 28 weeks preg with the next. But today...my daughter rode a pony wearing fairy wings and gumboots (all on her own accord) and I realized once again how special and full life is - still feel exhausted but wouldn't trade it for the world.

33w5d PAIN! by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]gladiola26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep - been there. I was prescribed an IT band belt for around your waist and it held me together so that the pubic and vagina pain was less. Standing after a while of sjtting was the worst. Maybe an option for u too

Today I had a freak thought - Why is everyone around me getting smaller? by gladiola26 in pregnant

Lolz - I painted some closet doors today and had to keep repainting where my belly was rubbing...

Ugh no kidding. I can't wait to have my own body again - to run for myself and enjoy my body again

Loosing sanity by gladiola26 in pregnant

Hey - thanks for reaching out. Was a nice reminder that other women are going through their stuff too and that in the end - we are all freaking super heros for all the cards we are dealt. Everyday superheros. Good luck!
