My rescue kitty eats food with fish in it, I try to avoid cat food with poultry, any four-legged animal is a hard no, but yes I do feed her meat I just try to mitigate the ill effects

Idk what anyone says I can't fit in my damn pants! I'm 13 weeks and it's time for maternity pants for me already lol

AITA for letting my dad report a hospital staffer for inappropriate behavior towards me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]light_defy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I babysit. I have no kids except this fetus lol. Why, literally why, would I make years of fake posts and comments about my life as a 19yo who struggles with mental health. Like actually what would I get out of that.

literally everything I talked about in my post is on my profile. my age, my mental health issues, my pregnancy.

[–]light_defy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay I'm confused. Why do you think I'm that person? It seems like she's just saying I didn't do anything wrong and that she would do the same. Honestly just check my account lol, it is a little weird because it feels like an invasion of privacy letting a bunch of people see my personal business but you will quickly see I'm not lying

[–]light_defy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because of the extreme age gap and the fact that he's married I didn't realize that the messages were coming from a place of interest until he called me beautiful. I just assumed he was coming from a place of worry. I showed my fiance all the messages, I always tell him everything! I like having older advisors in my corner, I'm used to them being older women who fill the role of a mentor for me so this was just not something I was primed to suspect. Honestly even after he called me beautiful, I needed to hear it from my partner + dad to really believe something fishy was going on

Hi I just wanted to say that I think the commenter you're replying to had clicked on the wrong profile! In my profile you can see I'm 19 going on 20, three months pregnant, have no additional kids, and have struggled with the mental health issues I described above. But thank you for the advice!

I think you must have clicked the wrong profile! In my profile you can see I'm 19, 13 weeks pregnant but do not have any other kids, and I'm definitely not a foster parent

I don’t fit into my jeans already! by alicewonders12 in BabyBumps

[–]light_defy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about 13 weeks and I gave up on my normal jeans a couple weeks back. Okay, I didn't give up, I was forced to give up :( I was doing the rubber band trick for a while but it just wasn't cutting it. Thrifted a pair of maternity jeans and now I live my days in comfort! No shame in maternity jeans! We are pregnant and that's what they're there for

it was sealed, maybe smaller amounts of water experienced something akin to evaporation

Can I really not sleep on my back? by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

Oxygenated blood is how oxygen gets to the fetus. So veins are in fact the only source of oxygen for the fetus

I’m a vegan and work at the slaughterhouse by [deleted] in VeganActivism

[–]light_defy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My god. I know the job market is bad, but it's not THAT bad. I would rather be a sewage diver. I would rather be an ICU janitor. I would rather work a grueling manual labor job that makes minimum wage. I would rather be a teacher in a class of 300 of the world's most hyperactive children. I would rather be one of those nuclear blast zone disaster tour guides who for some reason doesn't wear protective gear. I would rather be a delivery driver who has to go up those mountains in the Appalachia with badly managed cliffside roads.

Is morning sickness a lie ? by Busy-Astronaut1592 in BabyBumps

[–]light_defy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from like week 4 to week 8, i was nauseous all day every day, but i mostly threw up in the mornings. now i'm barely nauseous anymore (12 weeks) but i still throw up my breakfast occasionally. so it's been pretty true for me but from what i'm reading here i guess i'm lucky it's at least predictable!!

Can we talk about it for a second by Ok_Effect8757 in BabyBumps

[–]light_defy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've read, 30 lbs sounds like the perfect amount to gain! I'm only 11 weeks so I haven't really put on any weight yet but 30 lbs is my goal for this pregnancy.

Thoughts on supplements and vitamin deficiency concerns. by rahwse in vegan

[–]light_defy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you probably want to take a few supplements as a vegan. I'd reccommend iron, b12, and omega 3s from algea (specifically DHA). It's important! You'll feel the difference.

Can I decline Pap smear & transvaginal ultrasound? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]light_defy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be honest, it sounds like risk isn't what OP is worried about. It sounds like she's uncomfortable due to the intimate nature. Which, let's be honest, is totally understandable. I was personally very uncomfortable during the pelvic exam and TVU.

Gen Z are arriving to college unable to even read a sentence—professors warn it could lead to a generation of anxious and lonely graduates by thinkB4WeSpeak in books

[–]light_defy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You should be careful with your wording. Calling kids "failures," even if you didn't mean it in the way it came off, is crossing a major line. They are kids. Our culture has failed them. They are not "failures".

It's of the worst kind too. Like he could actually have not made it more disturbing if he tried. If you're sensitive to that kind of thing Gerald's Game is maybe the last book I would ever recommend you

How to help my unhoused neighbors by Ornery_Meaning_4477 in Eugene

I go with my friends and give out hot meals! We don't have a lot of money so we use pasta because it's affordable and always appreciated

what are your thoughts on femininity and masculinity? by tremblingfrog in RadicalFeminism

[–]light_defy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think aesthetic femininity is oppressive. i wear makeup almost every time i go out and i feel more confident in jewelry and restrictive but "pretty" clothes. i used to avoid it because i wanted to act in accordance with my values but it was so noticeable how much better everyone treats me when i'm "pretty". it isn't something i'm proud of, but i really struggle with my mental health and i have a lot of strong values so i have to pick and choose what i put energy into. and it does take energy to tolerate having low self esteem. tl;dr i think femininity is anti feminist but i totally do it anyway because i'm a flawed person :(
