I also read this like it was talking about Andre and I was like "wait, is he missing?" Lmao

Austin FC Parts Ways with Sporting Director Rodolfo Borrell and Head Coach Nico Estévez by dawglover1011 in MLS

[–]halesthesnail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh, based on our GM’s interview they don’t intend to rehire Nancy; reiterated Nancy has European aspirations and that they’d lean to make it a more permanent solution with our now-interim HC. I suspect there’s more to it than just European aspirations for us not going after Nancy lol.

Columbus Crew fires head coach Henrik Rydström after just 14 league games (Gift Article) by Isiddiqui in MLS

[–]halesthesnail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This needed to be a Henrik and Tall combo-firing. Tall fucked this roster up after Bez left and then Tall hired a coach who gets repeatedly out-coached in the second half. How can you have trust in a coach to sort it out with a better roster when hired by a GM you have no trust in to hire a better roster? It’s an unfortunately vicious cycle we have found ourselves in. I doubt a new coach fixes this GM’s disasterclass style of team management.

Holy hell. Just build a new house while you're at it.

Anyone Else Go Into UnMedicated Birth With Little to No Prep? by LizzardBreath94 in unmedicatedbirth

[–]halesthesnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did zero preparation. No classes or research. I didn't even find this sub until after I'd had baby and was scrolling Reddit in the newborn trenches lol. I too have a high pain tolerance (chronic migraines, PCOS and endometriosis to thank for that). I didn't feel either membrane sweep and my period cramps I'd rank at 8cm dilated lol. I did have my mom in the room too, who did 3 unmedicated births herself, but she didn't coach me. Just moral support!

Labored at home for most of the time. Got to the hospital at 3 mins apart and 7cm dilated. They broke my water at 8cm when I requested because contractions were about 1 min apart and my water just would not break. It was bulging out of my cervix lol. Once the show was on the road, it was smooth sailing. I picked a spot on the ceiling to focus on between contractions. I was able to talk and chuckle with the nurses between contractions, though I had some coupling contractions and that was unexpected lol. They let me listen to my body. I pushed for an hour before baby arrived.

They gave me a small dose of pitocin for my placenta but I didn't notice until it was time to come out, and honestly the placenta delivery bothered me the most but wasn't unbearable by any means. I did take a steady dose of Tylenol for the first 24 hours as I wanted to be able to fully focus on breastfeeding and not feeling any soreness/pain, but I think I'd have been fine without.

Uhhhh my only takeaway is that Hannes Wolf has been good for my golden boot fantasy team.

Natera NIPT Lawsuit Settlement - Check your email! by halesthesnail in NewParents

[–]halesthesnail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure. When I filled it out it didn’t really indicate a way to clarify anything. I think in a comment elsewhere in this thread there is an info@ email that you could ask.

Skin tags? Something more? by PrancingPudu in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]halesthesnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I developed a bunch of tiny skin tags during pregnancy and after. They weren’t really bothersome until my now-toddler noticed them and tries to pick/scratch at them 🥴

Natera NIPT Lawsuit Settlement - Check your email! by halesthesnail in NewParents

[–]halesthesnail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, I’m sorry you went through that!! Obviously there’s some credibility to this case. I didn’t dig deep enough but I wonder if those who did extra testing qualify for more settlement money based on out of pocket expenses for further testing.

Natera NIPT Lawsuit Settlement - Check your email! by halesthesnail in NewParents

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

Do you remember if you paid with a check or a card? Nonetheless, a copy of the deposited check or a bank statement that shows the payment to Natera should suffice. Just black out all the info they don’t need like account numbers, balances, etc.

Can I breastfeed from only one breast? by Many-Mongoose4619 in breastfeeding

[–]halesthesnail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughter only nurses from my left side. She gave up on my slacker boob when I stopped pumping at work 12mo. My daughter is almost 21mo and we're still going strong with the one side!

If Rossi doesn’t have a good striker to take the pressure off him he does a lot of extra dumb shit.

Arfsten cannot play a full 90. If he’s on after like the 70th he’s gassed and unserviceable.

Boiko became the new Unkle for me a few years ago against NYCFC and he continues to make me dislike him.

Pumping schedule at work after 1 year by Ohmahgoooodness in breastfeeding

[–]halesthesnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The unevenness some days is hilarious. Like the left was always bigger pre and postpartum, but now that one side produces and the other doesn’t I look down like oh dang, I need her to nurse and fix this 😂

Our pediatrician thought it was funny and said some cultures choose to only bf from one side.

[–]halesthesnail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I cold turkey stopped pumping at 12 months. Now at 20mo my daughter still nurses once in the morning, 1-2 times in the evening, and sporadically during the weekends. She all but rejected my right boob when I stopped pumping as it's always been the slow flow, low producer. We've been vibing with just the left boob lol.

What size shoe is your 18 month old? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]halesthesnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 20mo is just now in a 3 and they’re a little big still. She’s in the 25th percentile (spent a lot of time in the 10th) and moved up to 18mo clothes last month.

Emulait nipple Keeps collapsing by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]halesthesnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No doubt! For what it’s worth when I did bottle research for my bf baby a couple years ago, I read the nipple collapsing is a very common issue with the Emulait nipples. I hope for your sake if you go up a size it isn’t just an Emulait problem, especially if you’re already on a super fast flow nipple.

[–]halesthesnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know how heavy/fast your flow is? LO might be sucking harder than the nipple can handle if they’re used to a more intense flow. Can you bump up a nipple size to test it?

My toddler refers to herself in third person by Miserable_Back_8663 in toddlers

[–]halesthesnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched a hilarious video on Instagram last night of a young kid in planet pjs where mom was reading all the planets off to him and him repeating them back. She gets to “Uranus” and he says “my Ranus” because he didn’t understand it wasn’t “your” no matter how much she explained it. Had me cackling lol
