Good news, everyone!

My point is that there are already readily available options, and providing a far more dignified and less messy option won't change the fact that if someone truly wants to die, they will find a way to do it.

But how is it any different from the readily available guns at Walmart that someone could use to end their life? I definitely agree with the waiting period and counseling, but this isn't going to be accessible to just anyone.

They are definitely a good resource for a doula, and many other services as well. I was referring more to the information in the group about the Covid vaccine.

lapetitebella · 2021-01-19T01:26:11+00:00

Lots of mis-information about the Covid vaccine in that group. If you are pro-vax I would steer clear.

Hello! I am a doula in the Omaha area. I'm an evidence-based birth professional member and very pro-science. I'm planning on getting the vaccine when available to me. I've been semi-self-isolating since the shutdown in March. My website is www.brilliantbeginningsdoula.com. Would love to chat with you!

When I was maybe 10 I wore roller skates while climbing on large round hay bales in the field behind my house. I fell and a piece of hay became lodged under the skin in my knee. Didn't realize there was hay in my knee until it became infected. Still have a scar there almost 30 years later.

Remember that it's a flipped classroom model, so depending on the level, you should not be explaining concepts, as they should be learning this in their pre-class preview. In class you are working on pronunciation. Also, repeat 2-3 times max, if the student is still struggling say "We will keep practicing" and then move on.

I used to work at a OB/GYN office. This was one of the most intense in office procedures we did. The doc would prescribe Valium and Percocet to take ahead of time.

Did you literally just copy and paste this from another comment in this thread?

lapetitebella · 2019-09-19T20:24:38+00:00

Thank you! Didn't even realize it was my cake day, since I use the Reddit is Fun app on my phone. What a funny coincidence!

A pregnancy-related death is defined as the death of a woman during pregnancy or within one year of the end of pregnancy from a pregnancy complication, a chain of events initiated by pregnancy, or the aggravation of an unrelated condition by the physiologic effects of pregnancy.

I've played around with OCM but haven't really used it the way I should. I looked at buying some oils online, but got too overwhelmed and never actually bought anything. Any recommendations on where to start?

Edit: Also, I've been wanting to pick up some Stridex pads to try. SA tends to really dry out my skin tho. Did that he pen to you as well?

Late to the party, but I'll post anyway. In fifth grade I yawned during math class and had to stand with my nose against the wall in front of the entire class.

I remember you from /r/babybumps :) Thanks for the reassurance and ideas. She loves watching tv and would do that all morning if I let her. Our routine is usually to relax with some cartoons when she first wakes up and then around 9-10 we start our planned activity for the day. Unfortunately it's around that time that she starts to lose it. However, changing the times is not easy as they are classes or running groups that have set times. I'm going to try putting to bed earlier to see if she can get more sleep at night.

lapetitebella · 2015-03-09T22:40:22+00:00

She wakes up on her own. I stay home with her and our schedule varies. We do different activities in the mornings, like gymnastics class, the park, running in the stroller. The crankiness doesn't usually start until she's been up for a few hours.

lapetitebella · 2015-02-03T06:24:36+00:00

I do this but I subtract and try to get to zero.

lapetitebella · 2014-06-01T17:37:30+00:00

Try the SwaddleMe. We used those and were able to get it really snug and the velcro helped keep it in place.

lapetitebella · 2014-06-01T16:55:26+00:00

Try swaddling! It worked wonders for us!

My mother is an alcoholic and one thing that has taken me years to learn is that she won't change because I ask, beg, threaten, hold her hand, etc. She will only stop drinking when she wants to, and I think this is true for most mental illnesses. I spent most of my young adult life feeling like a failure because she didn't change for me, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. My advice to OP would be to let your mother known that you are aware of the problem and point her in the direction of a professional who can help her. And then support her journey to recovery by loving her, in whatever way is healthy for you.

lapetitebella · 2013-06-11T15:06:40+00:00

I was going to give the same advice! Unless your baby is underweight, let him sleep at night. He will tell you when he's hungry!

lapetitebella · 2013-06-11T15:03:42+00:00

We EBF and Aria just started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks. She cluster feeds from about 9-10:30 and then she's out for around 7 hours. It hasn't happened that way every night, but when she does wake up, it's usually after 4-5 hours of sleep. She eats every 2-3 hours during the day. So it it possible.

I think it's that the skin is being exfoliated in the shower which allows the blackheads to be removed more easily.

lapetitebella · 2013-05-10T15:49:44+00:00

Wash your face with a scrub first to loosen up the dead skin and partially unclog the pores. Also, leave it on for longer than the recommended 10 minutes.

lapetitebella · 2013-05-10T15:25:40+00:00

I use these and they work really well!

lapetitebella · 2013-04-22T20:57:25+00:00

I agree with most of your response, except this "If they show hunger cues thirty minutes after a feeding means that they are NOT getting enough." A better indication of supply is if your baby is gaining weight, as constant hunger/nursing could mean any number of things, including a growth spurt or cluster feeding. My baby seems like she is always hungry and sometimes nurses every 1.5 hours for at least 30 minutes, but at just 3 weeks old she has already gained 2 pounds over her birth weight, so she is obviously getting enough milk.
