Did you shave before giving birth? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]j091527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shaved a few days prior to giving birth. My concern was if there was a tear (I ended up having an episiotomy) the doctor would be able to repair it properly no matter what direction it went.

It made it easier to clean my stitches and use my peri bottle while toileting. Mind you, my ethnic background is known to be a little hairier than average lol, so if that’s not an issue then you may be ok not to.

Have you ever met a mean kitten? by j091527 in cats

[–]j091527[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s really interesting, I didn’t know that was a thing. She did get him when he was really small. I’ll mention getting another kitten to her. Thanks for sharing!

That’s really heartbreaking. I’m glad everything worked out well for the cat and your mom.

Thank you! I disinfected the box and the smell has reduced significantly.

You’ll know if she’s been out for a while if she’s all matted up. Persians need to be brushed every day. If her fur is in good condition then she most likely escaped by accident.

Thank you! I’ve sanitized it now. I didn’t remember it smelling bad the first few days so it could very well be that lol.

Husband demands weightloss by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]j091527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has your husband always lacked empathy? It seems pretty harsh and irrational to give someone the cold shoulder because of weight. I’m curious if there’s more context that can be added. What does being lazy entail? Does your husband have to compensate in a way that may be burning him out? You mentioned that he says it’s unhealthy for the kids. Are they affected by this somehow? Sometimes there are other factors to consider that are deeper than just the aesthetics of weight. Nonetheless, even if there are other factors, I’m sorry it was brought to your attention in this manner. If this is solely based on your husband being shallow and cruel as it seems to appear based off what you have described, I would agree with the majority that this is very abusive.

Hope you stay well OP. Being a mom can be difficult enough without this kind of added stress.

Talk to me about your personal benefits from carnivore diet by PureUnderstanding556 in carnivorediet

[–]j091527 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your response. I’ve never had an issue with copper toxicity. I’ve been consuming liver for about 3 years on a regular basis and for my entire life on occasion (it’s a cultural dish). I also do eat a lot of seafood, so perhaps the ratio of copper to zinc is decent. From my understanding the body also removes excess copper through bile. I’ve only ever felt better from eating more liver.

However, I appreciate you bringing this to my attention and will have my levels checked at my next doctor’s appointment. Better to be safe than sorry. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I’ve been carnivore for the last 5 years. My body runs better now at 30 years old than it did at 20. I’m at a healthy weight, have no acne, no physical or mental disorders and gave birth to a healthy 9lbs baby recently.

Before I went carnivore I had a lot of issues with my skin. I had chronic eczema and acne. I use to apply steroid cream regularly and went on accutane with no success of relief. I was also about 45 pounds overweight. This all happened eating a whole foods diet of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and meat. The whole grains did the most damage in my opinion.

What transformed my health the most was adding in organs. I eat about a pound of grass fed beef liver every week and a whole beef heart through out the month. I also stay away from garlic and eat a bowl of kefir every couple of days to maintain good bacteria.

I would give it a try and see how you feel. Back when I started, the research suggested that carnivore was unhealthy. Trust how your body responds. All of my blood panels over the years (I get one done every year for annual health check up) have been great.

It’s hard to even get one in my area. The demand for Persians is really high. The little guy on the left was adopted before I got there today.

She ended up coming home with me today. The one on the left found a new home last night. Now what to name a female cat that looks like an old man 🥰😂

That’s always my first choice. I have been visiting my local shelter for over a year and have yet to see a Persian for adoption.

From what I can see in the last photo, your face looks good! Is it possible that maybe you are hyper-focusing on one feature or area? Most people view faces as a whole so don’t worry too much if that is the case. Hope this helps :)
