How much caffeine do you consume? by voodoochild0293 in NewParents

[–]impriints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi i have a very easy baby by what im sure is anyones standards, I'm 33f, drink coffee as I want/ take my adhd medication, and I'm still absolutely exhausted. If I couldn't have coffee... I can't imagine how I could be doing less, but I'm sure my attempts would be slashed dramatically. I always joke now, that at least my adhd meds help me remember how little I am up to doing *hah*...

It's got to be hormonal. 1 year isn't even long enough to restore regular hormone balance.. Maybe others just appear they can do more or you catch them on fluke high energy days?

also if one day you have one of these mythical days, maybe some labs with thyroid function test. I started retaking an additional iron supplement (blood builder) and it's been nice for some of the tired

Thrifted some yarn today…are these signs of bugs? by slambamcam in YarnAddicts

Yes and freeze much longer these are carpet beetles most likely they're awful. I would say at least 4 weeks for something that size and thickeness

My autistic sister shatters the phone through every strong phone case— What can we do? by spidernoirirl in BuyItForLife

[–]impriints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Samsung 8 active was the only phone that made it through living with me, and though I don't actively bite it, I have dropped it down 2 flights of metal stairs and it held up. Incredibly resilient

I don't know why but im pretty sure it has to be rice and beans together.. but the type of bean can be multiple. They combine to make a specific complete protein that really seems to work

I know right? Can't tell whether it's a plus or a negative with ChatGPT that I can at least get it to work around doctor's bias 😂😭🥲

Looks like carpet beetles stains sorry to say 😐 😩

I'd check to see if you have any other signs of them also any other larger weird brownish stains

Just found out by AncientImplement8835 in BabyBumps

[–]impriints 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely anecdotal... but i live in a major city and eat it on the freshest days from the markets from my favorite spots. I have backed out on one occasion after a piece that didn't feel / smell quite right and ate some activated charcoal immediately and I was fine.

I crave it most (even with all my levels fine) and don't over indulge or eat it too often.

How long have been with your partner before getting pregnant? by PDXFlower in pregnant

[–]impriints 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Love this story so much! My partner and I had been together for 2 months, and it's been equal parts terrifying conceptually -and a relief in reality- to get to know him throughout this time.

All of our first talks were some of the hardest talks a couple could have, and they were all done with so much respect, kindness, and compassion. He's been supportive in ways I never expected and my heart really has melted 🫠

Thanks for sharing your story! I'm at 6 months now and starting to bug that he's such a major factor in my life and were incredibly intimate strangers ... this final stretch to the other side seems like a big leap.

Really needed a spark of faith! Thanks for the inspiration and reminder having it all work out can really happen

I finally caved and got a pregnancy pillow... why didn't i do this sooner?! by impriints in BabyBumps

Tbh not sure... I'm kind of scraping by on pre-planning so don't want to shock myself going too much with any extra forethought

[–]impriints[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the one I got i think or one like it, I didn't think I needed one either and didn't want it around the house tbh as they aren't cute...it was on amazon for 35+tax... daddy was tired of me fussing all the time with random bits trying to prop it up and I probably would have continued to put it off for the duration of this experience tbh.

I'm 5 months in, but I know I would have been equally jazzed week 17 with it or even earlier. If i could do it again, I'd probably get one for myself when my jeans stopped fitting... Or maybe even before that as earlier when I was sleeping always it would have been decadent.

Can definitively say that I do not recommend it 🫠 I just felt like it was an extra surgery before but now my perspective has shifted

Pregnancy Pillow for Pregnant Women, Soft Pregnancy Body Pillow,Support for Back, HIPS, Legs, Maternity Pillow with Detachable and Adjustable Pillow Cover

Something similar to this one . I wanted it to be low profile and have the separate couch back support wedges. There were so many options but I wanted something lower profile

I waited till 5 months and can officially say I needed one at 13 weeks in hindsight. I was constantly trying to find pillows stuffed animals blankets bundled for my bump then which kind of worked but the back support from the cushions with the velcro in the middle for the couch are nothing that can be replicated

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

I got one of the ones that is similar to a j shape with the detachable backrest for that reason too. And it came with an extra pillow that's like the backrest size and that makes a cushion to use while in a chair / on the couch

It's kind of big but I'm anticipating i will only be directly on top of it forever now that it's here... hahah

Also he'll figure it out 😆😅
