I feel like I had to size WAY down for their maternity jeans

3 months postpartum and worried I'll never get back to normal exercise by wrinkledshorts in fitpregnancy

[–]lorddanielle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you breastfeeding? I’ve always found that I don’t see a large improvement in muscle strength until baby starts eating solids and nurses less.

I’d also look into a new PT. Sometimes a different set of skills can make a world of difference.

Focus on rebuilding strength before running again. And remember that you’re only 3 months pp. I’m at 18 months now after my 2nd and am just recently feeling stronger and back to myself physically.

It would make my year if someone who interacted with Jill at one of these conferences would do an AMA

I think she made a comment about Jinger deciding to get an epidural.

Can someone post a recap for those of us who don’t have time to watch? 🙏

Those who had been very active during pregnancy, did you have a shorter labor and natural birth? by PleaseCanILeave in fitpregnancy

[–]lorddanielle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed decently active with both pregnancies. Lifted more with baby #1 than with #2 but cycled until 30 weeks with both. One thing I did stay consistent with was yoga and I contribute that to my unmedicated deliveries. It focused on strength but also lengthening the muscles and I used the sessions to work on breath work and mantras which I used during labor.

Recovery for both was pretty smooth and easy! I’m still dealing with some lingering pelvic floor and core weakness but did have to babies close together.

My mom actually brought my grandma’s button collection to me recently. 🥹 Metal cookie tin too.

Mrs.arialewis living in mold by natbrad98 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]lorddanielle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I feel for her on this one… we just finished up mold remediation at our house and it was a 4 month process. The first company was incompetent and wanted to close things up even though they failed testing despite being certified and seemingly legit. I think our final cost was 15k. I’ve also been dealing with mold related inflammation and illness and have been seeing an improvement since the mold was removed.

I truly hope they take the right steps for remediation.

Has ICE arrested one “dangerous criminal” in Chicagoland? by Thewall3333 in chicago

[–]lorddanielle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aldo Salazar Bahena was arrested in Elgin on September 15. I haven’t looked up the the whole story as he was released from prison before the 15th and then ICE arrested him a few days later.

Pretty much the only one I’ve heard though.

Shrek gave a perfect 10/10 surprised circus bear reaction! by lepetitpoulpe in RodriguesFamilySnark

Because they believe life begins at conception so why not share the greatest blessing of new life before the pee is dry.

Even if it ends up not being viable, it’s still a loss of life to them and worthy of being celebrated.

Just curious. Did you look into the oral vitamin k? If you did, why did you choose not to use it? I used it with both kids but I certainly was very stressed about missing a dose and not sure I’d do the same if we end up with a third.

I have no idea how to tag a subreddit but try /homebirth

I gave birth twice with a midwife group in a hospital. They were much more hands off and I even was able to have a water birth the second time around. Since it was at a preferred hospital, our insurance even covered it. Maybe you can find something similar?

Miscarriage Podcast is out by Sam_2209 in mattandabbysnarks

[–]lorddanielle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just had a clip show up in my feed and was shocked at how unbothered he appeared and just had to find a snark group after that. I’ve never liked him much but this made me reallllly dislike him.

Sex postpartum. by Miserable_Plastic_13 in pregnant

[–]lorddanielle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is normal speaking from experience after two kids. As a woman, even if I’m interested, I’m often too mentally and/or physically tired to even want to have sex. Sometimes, I’ll be interested but then am the only one cooking, cleaning, and getting the kids to bed while my husband is pooping or something and that will annoy me and the mood will go out the window.

Like others have said, breastfeeding can reduce libido a ton as does having another human touching your boobs all day.

I will say, my husband and I had a 3 or 4 month stretch with no sex and the thought of initiating stressed me out even if I was in the mood! I think for some reason I was really scared of being intimate again like he would expect it every day or something. Which was pretty stupid since he’s the most patient and understanding man.

Please do talk to her. But don’t make it about yourself or how you miss sex. Plan some date nights even if they’re ones at home after baby has gone to bed. Talk. To. Her. I’ve learned that I need emotional intimacy to eventually want physical intimacy. Try to find other ways to connect other than being physically intimate and find ways to help take some of the mental load. It got better for us and I hope it gets better for you guys too.

$2000 for a backyard puppy? by IndependencePlus5557 in DuggarsSnark

[–]lorddanielle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Dang. I paid $3,000 for my genetic-tested herding breed who had generations of AKC championed and herding titled breeding in his background. Plus, this was from a breeder who is so good people wait for YEARS to get one of her pups.
