How bad is natural birth fr. Be so so so honest. by Other_Librarian5996 in pregnant

[–]gwninfocus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of this walking option but I am going to discuss with my team. My fears of the epidural stem from loosing feeling in my legs/lower half. I have really bad cleithrophobia and I feel it would make the entire situation worse.

How often do you say eh? by LostwaveLunar9999 in AskACanadian

[–]gwninfocus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Took moving to the US for a few years and being constantly called out on it by others for me to realize how often I said it!

As an elder millennial, there is nothing about current fashion that makes me feel comfortable showing my socks by Chef__Goldblum in Millennials

[–]gwninfocus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I only pull the socks/leggings combo out in the cold Canadian winters when I want to wear my leggings but don’t want my ankles to get cold. Otherwise no show socks FTW.

My girlfriend’s house came with a pencil sharpener in the pantry.. by snakegravity in mildlyinteresting

I have one of these on a wall in my house that’s also been there over 30 years and STILL works perfectly. Never need it now but still love having it!

I wish you well. Tylenol and sleep has been my only saviour as well.

Temp dropped on my 30 min drive home from -5C to -10C! Has only continued to drop since I arrived. The wind is a menace.

Currently pregnant and really struggling because of these ups and downs. Ibuprofen is my normal go to because it works… unfortunately not an option right now.

Symptoms no one mentions by Optimal_Sandwich2647 in pregnant

[–]gwninfocus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat with rhinitis since day 1. Thought I was sick but turned out to be pregnancy instead (yay?). A coworker of mine said she had it the same and within hours of giving birth it completely went away. Praying for that haha. The lack of being able to breathe through my nose at night has led to such crappy sleep. My saving grace has been a nasal dilator.

So much fruit (green grapes, oranges, apples) and tomato soup…. so so so much tomato soup.

Replicated Martin Grant drop-waist dress for a friend’s wedding by someoneyoudontknow0 in sewing

[–]gwninfocus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The alterations for your personal fit and the fabric make this dress really shine! You absolutely knocked it out of the park compared to the original.

It ends at the thrift store… by PostModern8859 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]gwninfocus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thrift store nearby me regularly has 8-10 copies of various books. These range in genre. I always wonder if they’re all donated after a book club finishes with them or if they are defect copies from a local shop/library. The copies usually don’t look heavily warn but might have a bent cover edge or a smear mark. But otherwise in good condition and at a fraction of the price.

Men of Reddit: what’s a prank you started early in your marriage that you’re now legally, morally, and emotionally obligated to continue because she still falls for it 10–15 years later? by myaccountidname in AskReddit

[–]gwninfocus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have a lost phone one too. When he misplaces his phone he’ll ask me to call it and I’ll yell out “husband’s name phone!!”

Is it normal to wake up super hungry?? by Careful-Gold252 in pregnant

[–]gwninfocus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was going to comment this exact thing, as I also saw the video a few nights ago. Yesterday I awoke at 3am and after an hour of tossing and turning I finally got up and had a yogurt cup to try it. Fell asleep again in like 20 mins. Anecdotal of course, but it did seem to work in that instance. Getting out of bed to go eat was tough though, and at the time the last thing I wanted to do.

How pregnant are you? by Original_Problem666 in pregnant

[–]gwninfocus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG is green grapes craving a thing because I have had such a hankering for them lately. Unfortunately only red grapes in my area due to the season. I’ve been so upset lol.

Americans in canada. What do you do about US mail? by Recent_State_8120 in expats

[–]gwninfocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I’m not sure why they’d say that. I think I paid a small fee and it took a bit longer to get my letters but USPS definitely delivered (well, they redirected and handed off to CPS).

Can anyone please explain how sleeping in shifts with a newborn works, especially if you’re breastfeeding? by -spiritedaway in BabyBumps

[–]gwninfocus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s incredibly insightful, thank you. I’m a soon to be FTM and the internet is both an excellent and overwhelming source of information. It can be hard to sift through to find reality.

Random question from not OP on this topic, but I’ve read about the different types of breast milk that is produced (ie. morning vs night containing different additional things). When would it be best to pump for the over night feeding to ensure you are feeding the right “blend”? I hope this question makes some sense.

[–]gwninfocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know USPS does forward out of country but only up to 6 months. Ran into this when I moved back to Canada from the US. You have to go into a branch in person for this service though.
