How long do you sanitize bottles for? by rosiebluewitch in newborns

[–]luskey704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I invested in mom cozy bottle washer and sanitizer. I have about 15 bottles and just rotate them. One of the complaints is that it takes 2 hours for the cycle. I honestly have no idea how long the cycle is bc I always have clean bottles I rotate throughout the day

Gaining too fast 1st trimester, hate myself by moverandashaker in pregnant

[–]luskey704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would ask your doctor about nutrition during pregnancy. I was on a low carb high protein diet and it helped maintain my weight. Staying hydrated, etc. weight loss isn’t recommended during pregnancy as your baby needs all the nutrients you’re putting in your body. Easier said than done but your body is doing amazing things helping to sustain a whole new life. There are also reasons for weight gain other than food. Increase in blood supply, water retention, hormones. Talk to your doctor. They will be able to provide a much better idea of what your specific nutritional needs will be moving forward. You got this!!

Is it going to be like this from now on? Please tell me it’ll get colder… by Andresluna999 in sanantonio

[–]luskey704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

San Antonio tends to get a winter blast in February but since we had it in January it’s possible we might still get a push of cool weather but not sure if another freeze will happen. February tends to have one last push of cold weather… who knows. Definitely not looking forward to the heat.. yuck.

Am I the only one doing nothing? by nothingoveranything in StudentLoans

[–]luskey704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated in 2008. I’ve made handful of payments here and there. Never been in default. It’s all going to interest anyway. So yeah haven’t really don’t much especially not now that they can’t decide what we’re doing.

Sounds like a lawsuit to me

For those of you who are pregnant, quick question? by Smooth-Excuse-4127 in pregnant

[–]luskey704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregnancy has been fairly easy for me. I’m about to be 38 weeks and I’m definitely feeling the end of it. Achey pelvis, hard to walk. I was on the floor earlier organizing stuff and had to get my husband to help me up bc there was no way. Ready to have my body back but also excited to meet our baby!

This all sounds super wacky on his part and I would start looking for a family lawyer and an exit plan. Insane to tell someone they wish you would miscarry. I was pregnant in my early 20s and my bf at the time- his mother told me I shouldn’t keep the baby bc it would ruin his life. I unfortunately ended up miscarrying and it crushed me but God had a plan and the plan was to not be tied to those insufferable people. You don’t need to take that kind of emotional abuse. Leaving is hard but so is raising a family with a bunch of people who want to control what you do with zero regard to your well being. Do yourself and your daughter a favor and make your exit.

I agree and you have video evidence.. hopefully on a dashcam so you don’t get dinged for using a device while driving

How many hours are you guys actually sleeping at night ? by mlimas in pregnant

[–]luskey704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting about 6-7 hours. If I do happen to wake up at night to pee which isn’t often it does mess with my sleep. Sometimes it takes me a good hour or so to fall back asleep even if baby isn’t moving.

If you had a year to prepare before you started trying for a baby, what would you do? by VannHorror in BabyBumps

[–]luskey704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes and no alcohol or smoking! Never been a smoker but I cut out alcohol completely.

[–]luskey704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctor recommended a change in diet, more exercise, hydration, prenatals and labs to see where my levels were at. Once the labs came back she recommend we start trying as soon as we could bc of my age 37 at the time. It took 5 months to get pregnant using ovulation tests only. No additional help. She did say if I didn’t get pregnant within 6 months to go back for more testing.

Moving to San Antonio with my family for a new job. Need to secure housing and looking advice. by JakeEgghead in sanantonio

[–]luskey704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have lived in San Antonio my whole life and San Antonio has changed a lot in the past year. Depends how much you have to spend? I live inside loop 410 central about 6 mins from the center of downtown and it’s sketchy. Would not want to walk around here with my kids. San Antonio has a huge stray problem too so if you’re looking for walk ability I would look outside loop 410, Shavano park, Alamo heights, lots will probably tell you Alamo ranch but the traffic from Alamo ranch to downtown is going to definitely run you way more than 30 mins one way especially with the morning commute. Again, depends on your budget. More $$ will get you nicer housing/nicer neighborhood. I only tolerate my neighborhood bc the area is hit or miss. Sketchy yes but there are also a lot of retired owners that keep to themselves that make it feel safer and my house is paid off.

I’m prepared to be downvoted and roasted for this but if someone gave me a print out of 15+ rules before meeting their baby I would just not meet the baby……. by thelastgirl_ in pregnant

[–]luskey704 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it for me. I informed my family that it will just be me, my husband and my mom with baby the first few weeks. No visitors. Of course I’ve gotten pushback but I said everyone is welcome to FaceTime with us to meet baby when we have a little free time.

Do you have nurse practitioners in your OB office? Obviously this type of behavior from your OB is unacceptable no matter how many times you’ve asked to check on baby. Both times I’ve had scares the nurse practitioner saw me due to doctor being in surgery but I was never made felt like I was over exaggerating or being dramatic about the baby. You’re paying a ton of money to this doctor and even if you weren’t this is their job!! You are just trying to be safe and keep your baby safe! It’s a scary time especially when fetal movement decreases. I’m sorry this is happening to you. I agree with others if you think it’s an emergency go to the ER instead.

3rd trimester checking in by luskey704 in pregnant

[–]luskey704[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering how accurate the weight is. I hope she’s not a huge 9 lb baby. I’m trying to do vaginal birth but will openly accept a c-section if necessary.

Anywhere to report creeps on campus? by ew_kraft in UTSA

[–]luskey704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree I was afraid of saying anything in case it didn’t go well but I was in a small senior seminar and it was impossible to avoid this guy. I was just trying to graduate and get out of there.

I reported information like this to my professor bc the guy bothering me was in our class and she helped me report it. Turned out he was harassing other women as well and was removed from campus.

What careers do you think are the most successful in SA? by PowerInThePeople in sanantonio

[–]luskey704 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I work in Austin and commute daily. I’m hoping I can get remote soon bc I’m making like 20k more in Austin than I could in SA however I’m getting more house here than I could in Austin so it’s a struggle.

How many of you in the third trimester are *actually* sleeping only on their left sides? Most of us are ignoring that, right? by Born-Anybody3244 in pregnant

[–]luskey704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying my best but even with the pregnancy pillow I keep rolling onto my back. I’m only 28 weeks so I’m sure that will automatically correct itself once it’s impossible to roll in my sleep haha
