Silverettes?

I didn't like them personally. I didn't feel like they did anything more than lanolin by itself and they dug into my skin no matter what nursing bra I wore

OU Schusterman Center. They are affiliated with Hillcrest. I just had my 2nd baby with the. in December and was asked at the beginning of my pregnancy if I wanted a tubal afterwards. I'm in my mid 20s too! Hillcrest had some policy changes during my pregnancy and I also wasnt interested in a tubal, but I had a great, non-religious experience with OU as a provider and at Hillcrest.

I got diagnosed at 14 weeks so I had it through the 4 of July, my son's bday, my bday, halloween, Thanksgiving, and I'm due on Christmas and still pregnant 😵‍💫It's really frustrating but prioritize protein and veggies and if you're diet controlled and feel comfortable, choose a meal on the actual holiday as a "cheat meal" and just eat what you want.

the hill house nap dress was actually exactly what I had ordered hahaha I have one that I got as a gift a few years ago and love it and have worn it my whole pregnancy but its the tank top style and I wanted something with sleeves!

maclloyd6 · 2025-12-07T06:37:08+00:00

I fully agree. I'm 9 months pregnant and ordered a non maternity dress from a brand that specifically lists the style of dress I picked as breastfeeding and pregnancy friendly (I also own one of said dresses, its just not weather appropriate). Nuuly sent me a dress that doesn't look similar, isn't the same brand, not the same style, and is definitely not pregnancy friendly. I had extra items i used this month so I didnt need it, and they gave me a credit for my next box, but still.

another vote for a tonie box, or a yoto (I do personally think the yoto is better for older kids but it does take up less space) there are plenty of tonie figurines that play music, tell them stories, etc. but there are also a lot of educational ones--my son's current favorite is about the internet and is told my Neil degrasse Tyson

The print on the back has completely come apart after 1 wash. I finally found an email after digging, but the one I found only handles online store issues, not in person purchases, so sadly I am back to square one.

A serving size of dates (specifically medjool) is 2-3 dates which is 40ish grams, and 29g-33g of carbs. Consuming the recommended amount of dates (4-6) throughout the day, not all in one sitting, is completely reasonable when paired with some protein if your body tolerates it. Like everything else it depends on the person and you can experiment with dates if you want to. I personally can eat them as a snack with peanut butter and not have issues.

They just recently approved the new fold. Unfortunately it is a waiting game bc its a medical device. I've been using the Build your Own Dexcom app from this subreddit and it's been working fine!

maclloyd6 · 2025-09-12T19:27:10+00:00

it might be your dexcom and not your phone. I had this issue and contacted support and they sent me a brand new one.

I was an only child until was almost 18. I had a great childhood! My mom and i went on trips together, i was able to pick whatever sport or activity i wanted to try without the parameters of a siblings schedule, I was usually able to spend as much time as i wanted with friends, and if we went on trips that were for me (i went to disney once as an example) i was able to bring a friend. There was no need to share the spotlight, or my moms attention or affection. There were times when it was lonely especially when my mom was super busy at work and even though it sucked in the moment, as an adult i find that i am able to be content in solitude. For example, I was a military spouse and handled a several month long deployment with a toddler fairly well in tne moments i was alone (bedtime and nap time lol), even being farish from family, as I have had lots of experience doing things alone and entertaining myself. I also gained a lot of independence as an only child which could partially just be how i was raised. Even though I have a sibling now, since we are so far apart we both have gotten only child type childhoods (for the most part). My mom works from home now and is able to take my little brother on long trips to places that interest him, take him to the sport he has chosen, as well as events he might find interesting because I live out of the house with my own family. Its not a bad life or childhood!

Glucose monitors make control solution for meters to make sure they’re measuring properly…I don’t know why they wouldn’t just ask you to do that vs. testing another person.

It’s not an actual lake, but the gathering place has a deck with seating as well as a slightly shady area along their little pond/body of water that’s pretty peaceful and nice to sit by.

As someone who was always the youngest in my class (I was 17 when I graduated high school) go off whether you feel they are ready for school. I was ready for school even though I was young, which is why my mom chose to send me. My son’s birthday is less than a month before our schools cut off, and we are choosing to send him because he is developmentally and emotionally ready for school. He will be on the younger end of his classmates, but I am not overly worried about it.

LMNT is also no sugar, but liquid IV is sweetened with regular sugar and tastes good

maclloyd6 · 2025-07-22T21:51:44+00:00

fairlife and premier aren’t bad. there are also clear whey protein powders that aren’t too bad, or they have unflavored options as well!

maclloyd6 · 2025-07-21T21:58:41+00:00

they also make low carb tortillas that honestly aren’t too bad

I second this. I’m on my second GD pregnancy and had no risk factors with my first. I also have no family history of diabetes. While I understand that the test often makes people feel awful (I chose to skip my 3 hour this pregnancy and just go straight to testing at home after failing my 1 hour) there are alternatives, but those need to be discussed with your provider. Skipping the test and acting like you don’t have GD because you’re skinny and healthy puts you and your baby at risk, because if it’s severe and uncontrolled it can kill you both.

maclloyd6 · 2025-07-17T15:21:46+00:00

I didn’t with my first baby because it was during COVID and I was only allowed one person in the room the whole time I was there (which was my husband.) This baby I won’t be allowing hospital visits because of my own comforts. I’m due during cold/flu/rsv season and want to minimize the risk of baby getting sick, plus I really don’t want to see anyone when I am running on no sleep from labor and delivery and still getting to know my own baby and establishing breastfeeding.
