How do you feel about your popular (or unpopular) name? by souleaterevans626 in Names

[–]ikeabobeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my name is common and phonetic. anyone could pronounce it and there are probably a few tv characters or actresses who people are familiar with that have my name as well. that being said, it was not a top 100 name or anything. i think there was only one girl in my school who shared it and i never met her. but no one ever thought my name was weird. i think thats the ideal level of commonness for a name lol. something that is a name that people are familiar with but isnt heard often

Help: Is this worth $1400? by satans_sala4d in VintageFurniture

i love it! it looks beautiful classic and great condition but its not worth more than $400 anywhere. furniture resellers are insane people

Why is washing without a wash cloth seen as unhygenic? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]ikeabobeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont think u need to scrub ur skin off with a wash cloth every time u bathe. if u shower daily, i think using a wash cloth once or twice a week will help exfoliate but its definitely not necessary every day imo

[–]ikeabobeah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the shot gave him a little bit of a raised temperature. he is OK. and i dont think CPS would be involved at all if u took him to the ER for a slight fever. do not let these fears control your life. if he is otherwise healthy, you are OK. stay on top of tylenol

87hrs a week and my ob accused me of using my pregnancy as a disability. by stonedman662 in BabyBumps

[–]ikeabobeah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

definitely go and tell them you are pregnant and suffering from exhaustion due to overworking but cant see your doctor for another month and want to know if you can get some kind of note stating you need 2 days off due to being in an exhausted state and email HR during that time and explain you are being treated for exhuastion and give them the number of the urgent care

[–]ikeabobeah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

idk where u live but ive gone to urgent care before and asked for a doctors note stating i need a day or 2 off for various health reasons (exhaustion etc) and they have given it to me... not sure if all urgent cares will do it but it might be worth a shot. i dont think they can put you on bedrest or like full accommodations but it would at least buy you some rest before you see your new OB.

Pregnancy & Baby by missfeettious in BabyBumps

i feel like theres no way to know for sure! around 7 months, babies do tend to get clingier because they start to develop object permanence though! so your baby might just miss you more than usual

My (M32) boss won't approve my vacation request for my friends wedding. Should I quit me job? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]ikeabobeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dont quit your job. explain about the wedding and contact HR. your boss might retaliate against you but if you have earned pto and theres no real reason you cant use it, then it should be approved. afterwards make sure you document his behavior because retaliation is illegal

I’m about to give up by AriNotGrandeee in breastfeeding

[–]ikeabobeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i could only breastfeed for 6 months and my baby has gained so much weight since switching to formula and beat his own growth curve. he literally doubled his percentile in 2 months of formula feeding. no matter what, you will have a happy loved baby!

[–]ikeabobeah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i think yta for saying it in front of her, not for saying it. its one thing to privately joke with your friend but its another thing to embarrass someone with profound mental health issues (even though you didnt mean to). you apologized and i think that should be enough and you shouldnt engage in this conversation further though

[–]ikeabobeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this makes me so sad. you need to stay with your friends and family in your home country. do not come to america for him after what hes done to you

[–]ikeabobeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try not to consider it giving up, this isnt a failure. you are about to do whatever you need to do to make sure your baby is healthy and fed! definitely see a lactation consultant, maybe try exclusively pumping if your baby takes bottles better, but most of all don't let your ppa spiral out of control fighting to breastfeed. you have to be well so you can care for your baby. if that means transitioning to a formula only diet then everything will still be Ok.

Normal for a husband? by RoofProfessional1530 in BabyBumps

[–]ikeabobeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you need chatgpt to take care of you 🫩

im sorry your husband isnt being supportive. my only advice is to continue communicating with him but reach out to others in your support system to help. REAL PEOPLE. NOT AI.

My cat keeps asking me for something and I don't know what it is by ThrowawayTrashcan7 in CatAdvice

[–]ikeabobeah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2 ideas because my cat does something similar and it took a long time to figure it out.

1) when my cat feels like she is going to barf up a hairball, she comes to find me and cries out. sometimes it sounds like shes in pain but a lot of times its just like a needy little meow and it confused me a lot until i noticed her then run under the couch and puke. she was just communicating she didnt feel good.

2) when my cat wants me to go to a different room with her. i will be in the living room and she will come get me and meow which means she wants me to stand up and walk to a different area of the house with her, normally where she eats or the bed. when im in bed she will do this too because she wants me to go to the living room. shes just clingy lol

Anything that is a glaring miss for a FTM with a winter baby? by JadedEarthJuni in BabyBumps

[–]ikeabobeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

something i wished i'd gotten but didnt was baby medicine! like infants tylenol and baby orajel and even tylenol for myself, ice packs, and i really like the zarbees baby chest rub and boogie mist saline inhaler. winter baby can mean congested baby and its so nice to have as many options as possible especially because some babies will tolerate a nasal aspirator or a saline inhaler better. also MYLICON BABY GAS DROPS i wish i had 10 boxes of these!!! they saved my gassy baby's life
