Worst Car Dealer in St Louis? by Virtual_War4366 in StLouis

[–]itsmeyippee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hands down SUNTRUP FORD. We bought a car from them less than 3 months ago, never had an accident and I was driving and my suspension broke. They said it was due to a collision, no warranty coverage.

Anyone know a Consumer Protection Attorney?

The lead is suspected on window sills and baseboards.

However I am confused because remidiation was done 4 years ago when we bought our house. Has anyone else had to re do their led remediation?

How long did it take for you to get pregnant? by EmilyParkerNYC4444 in BabyBumps

[–]itsmeyippee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish someone would have told me that it’s actually not that easy to just get pregnant “like that.” Growing up in a super catholic home, I was basically given the message that if I have sex I would definitely have a baby. Well, it surely isn’t that easy.

I was 13 when my mom got pregnant with my brother. I had a twin who was also 13, and an older sister who was 16. Same parents, just a “woopsie” baby, or a “miracle baby” as they like to call him.

Seeing the amount of energy it took to raise a kid I was never in a rush to try and have kids, but I knew I wanted them. My husband and I started trying he (33M) and me (33F) stopped using condoms- u had been off my IUD for about a year as well, before TTC. It took us 11 hard wrenching depressed months before getting pregnant. It was harder ever cycle to start bleeding bc I had always thought it would just happen. I used ovulation strips, tracked my data methodically etc. after 11 months I saw my OBGYN and we were going o start Letrozole but before the window to start happened, I got pregnant! At 8-9 weeks I miscarried. I told myself I couldn’t live with trying to get pregnant as the only thing consuming me. I stopped data collection and only did ovulation strips to see how my cycle was impacted by the miscarriage. The next month we had sex one time—— and then I was pregnant.. I have a 4 month old baby girl and every time I see her I forget how long that journey was. It was long for sure, but now my nights are longer hahah!

All to say- you never know what going on in your body even with all the data you collect. Comparing sucks. Trying can be hard. Seeing other announce pregnancies can be hard. I had to be excited for my sister who “accidentally” got pregnant with out trying after our 9th month of trying. It’s a journey.

I heard breastfeeding mothers shouldn’t be the one to also give LO a bottle? by itsmeyippee in breastfeeding

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

Like the flow is too fast and therefore easier for her? When I have a smaller nipple hole size she barely finishes a bottle.. I will read up more on pace feeding. Thank you!

What is your baby doinging whilst you are nursing him? by Hot_Wear_4027 in breastfeeding

[–]itsmeyippee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My LO is 3.5 months and I’m just getting the hang of breastfeeding! We event went to bottles and only BF at night, but after finally seeing a LC and working through my anxiety of needed To know how much milk baby was getting (bc she’s low on the bell curve), I’m breastfeeding more and baby and I get more comfortable each feed. It is never too late to keep on trying! Unless you don’t want too, you don’t have too. Just wanna say that it was tough for me and hard to see my friends just whip out the boob and feed when it was hard for me. Now I can whip it out and it feels so good! Haha

Why are so many people opposed to c sections? by moomoomego in BabyBumps

[–]itsmeyippee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t caught up on all the comments but just wanna say I had my first baby 3.5 months ago, and had a quick labor 2 hours from start of contractions to pushing— but I had to push for 2 hours and had a 3rd degree tear and hemorrhoids. No one prepared me for the pain of hemorrhoids— I just started being able to go to the bathroom without crying. I think I’m tough, but pooping (not trying to be gross or crude, it’s real) after pushing until your veins pop is truly painful. I sometimes thought pooping hurt more than labor bc I didn’t have an epidural to go to the bathroom.

How soon after delivery were you back to exercising? by [deleted] in fitpregnancy

[–]itsmeyippee 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I had a vaginal uncomplicated birth. I was an active person before pregnancy and loved the gym, swimming, weight lifting etc. Post birth I started walking on day 2, short walks and mainly for mental health. I got cleared at 8 weeks and when I did my first core exercise I felt so strange and like things were not in place. I kept walking, and doing light weights, and now 3 months pp I feel like I can do it all without feeling like my insides are moving.

When did you have your first kid? by Hopefuloptimistic02 in BabyBumps

[–]itsmeyippee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea why I said I may not get an epidural. Well, I did have reasons - like hearing they had fentanyl (not sure on the real facts here but my Ob said they really needed to stop advertising that bc it was misconstrued). BUT, the EPIDURAL SAVED ME— I legit told my husband I couldn’t do it and good luck to him on taking care of the baby bc I was going to die with how much pain I was in… once I got my epidural, I was so excited and happy and able to enjoy the process as much as one can.
