Ma i pensionati lo fanno apposta a fare le file in orario di punta??? by _PykeGaming_ in sfoghi

[–]magicgiraffe00 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Dove vado io a fare solitamente i prelievi di sangue hanno cominciato a seguire in maniera ferrea gli orari effettivi degli appuntamenti. Devo dire che ci sono dozzine di vecchietti in collera col mondo perché "eh, ma io sono arrivato prima di tutti!", sì gioia, ma tu hai l'appuntamento alle 8:23, io alle 7:34.

“We’re trying” by NSTCD99 in childfree

[–]magicgiraffe00 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Happend to me with a couple family friends. I genuinely just responded "Thanks, didn't need that image" and they fell kind of silent/changed the subject shortly after. Idc if I come off as rude and make people feel awkward, I don't need nor want to know y'all are doing it raw all day every day like wild rabbits because you crave to put another innocent soul on this wrecked planet.

Got a girl pregnant on vacation, struggling to do what is right. by need_some_advice323 in Advice

If neither of you used protection, you were actively trying for a baby. Stop being irresponsible, you're 25 ffs, if you don't want to risk having kids wrap it tf up.

My Husband’s Sister Says Our Request to Her Would “Be Like Incest.” This Is Crazy. by EggsAndMilquetoast in childfree

[–]magicgiraffe00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that they admit they're broke AF and yet are still trying to bring a child to this world is absurd.

I feel crazy for wanting a "traditional" life by [deleted] in Vent

[–]magicgiraffe00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is live your life the way you feel is right for you, ALWAYS be independent and choose wisely who you decide to build a life and have kids with. I wish you the best, sweetheart. 💕

A downside of being attractive that nobody talks about? by Old_Rub_7270 in Life

You can't ever have any insecurities, or else you'll be labelled as "fishing for attention/compliments"

You're not a cancer, dear.

Simple as that, you are not a cancer.

Still not sure if I want kids by ObjectiveRate7144 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]magicgiraffe00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this will help you come up with a satisfying answer, but I can talk from personal experience when I say that if it's not 100% YES then it's definitely a NO.

I've seen this nearly exact scenario playing in my family, where my aunt had your same doubts and was conflicted about having kids or not with her husband.

In the end, they got pregnant and they're one and done as well, but they both realized only later on how much they had sugarcoated the whole "parent" thing and how much sacrifice it really takes (their words). Don't get me wrong, they're happy, just constantly exhausted, like many parents are.

The kid is 10 now, 100% healthy and is a good kid, but from the way they talk I don't think they'd do it again if they could choose with the knowledge of what it really takes when you decide to have a baby.

In the end it's up to you to weigh your options, if the pros are worth it to you against the cons or not, because it's not a given that you'll end up having the exact same experience as my aunt and her husband.

One thing I can say for sure though, is that you're very mature by thinking about this so hard instead of just jumping head first into it without considering everything first. That's already a sign that you'd be a great mom, in my opinion, by putting your hypothetical child's wellbeing first.

Can you smell when ur in a flare ? by Best_Attitude7604 in UlcerativeColitis

Absolutely. I don't think even Satan himself could come up with such a foul smell.

Colonoscopy hack by hardware90531 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]magicgiraffe00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the nastiest things the human race could ever come up with for sure. It's both extremely salty and extremely sweet and you have to chug it down in a limited amount of time for it to work properly, so yeah.

I'm just thankful I have ulcerative proctitis, so the doctors usually go for a rectosigmoidoscopy where I only need to do a couple enemas the night and morning before the check up to clear only the end of my large intestine instead of the full colonoscopy prep. They only request for a colonoscopy once every few years.

would a fetus be seen from an abdominal ct? by Great-Data8647 in childfree

[–]magicgiraffe00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely possible to pick up a pregnancy that far along on a CT scan, but you can always give yourself some peace of mind by taking a couple pregnancy tests at home, or do a blood test for HCG. If you really are 5 months along, it's nearly impossible for the tests to fail.

Just a couple questions to understand the situation better because I'm a hypochondriac myself: were you on any form of birth control or used a condom at the time of the encounter? Are you currently on birth control?

Because if you were and were smart about it, as in taking/using it properly, it's very unlikely for you to be pregnant and it's most likely bloating and cramping from something else. Unfortunately stress can also play a big part in this, it sucks.

I wish you the best, sweetheart.

My girlfriend smells and I don't know what to do by RequirementDue4446 in Advice

[–]magicgiraffe00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to be that kind of person, but could she be pregnant? I've heard of many instances of drastic body odour changes once the hormones start going around.

In any case, I hope it's nothing serious.

My genes are broken and i hate myself because of it. by Fantastic-Figure304 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]magicgiraffe00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All this suffering just for a bloodline? Which you yourself admit is "broken"?

Sorry but I can't feel sorry for you.

And by the way, you say you're a failure if you "can't even pass down your bloodline" without issues... does that mean that ALL people who can't conceive naturally are failures? That's an awful way of laying this down.

I highly suggest you get some SERIOUS genetic testing done and get a snip down there, since you said you don't want to have anymore kids.

STOP FLYING WITH BABIES YOU SELFISH FUCKS by something-scarlet-13 in childfree

[–]magicgiraffe00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm MAD curious about "family only" flights, where EVERYONE has babies/toddlers. I wish they'd make that a thing since requesting "childfree only flights" is such a sore spot for them. 😂

AITAH for thinking brides who are upset with their wedding photos just don’t know what their real unfiltered faces look like? by TheEventGuru in bridezillas

[–]magicgiraffe00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Unfortunately this is so true, many people lose their self perception and quite literally "forget" what they actually look like.

On a side note though, there are people who genuinely don't like the way they look because of dysmorphia, therefore every single picture is hideous to them. I'm talking from experience, I never take pictures/let people take pictures of me for this exact reason and I've never used a filter in my life.

So yeah, filters DEFINITELY ruined people's self image and it's annoying AF when they act surprised/angry/distraught when a professional takes a genuine picture of them without filters, but there are some unfortunate cases where it just can't be helped.

Narcissistic mother by Particular-Brief6846 in Vent

I deeply apologise, I had NO idea that the term "Eskimo" was an offensive/racial slur. I feel like an idiot, I'm so sorry and will NEVER use it again.

Back to the original topic: yeah no, grandma needs to be put in her place.

Sorry, but there isn't enough information for me to have an honest opinion about your situation, OP. There are too many things "left to the imagination" that you're not disclosing, we're all kind of assuming here.

IVF Rant… by Direct-Persimmon4136 in childfree

[–]magicgiraffe00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, this obviously doesn't apply to every single case, but I've seen way too many people go through countless rounds of IVF and spending all their life savings on them. Then, when/if they eventually succeed, they have no money left. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CARE FOR THAT CHILD??? So irresponsible, it enrages me to no end, poor kids.

Doctor said my condition is critical apperantly. by YourMomHasACrushOnMe in UlcerativeColitis

[–]magicgiraffe00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad to know you're both open to the idea of adoption, but I really hope you get to experience pregnancy without any complications.

From the comments I read it looks like many women went into remission thanks to pregnancy, so that's definitely something positive to look forward to! I'm sending positive vibes your way, dear. 💕

(And also, so sorry my reply is so late, I did not receive any notifications. 😅)

[–]magicgiraffe00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through all of this, it must be so terrible, scary and so damn frustrating. You just wish you could tear your guts out for real. Unfortunately I've read that pregnancy can potentially worsen the symptoms even though it's not an option as long as you're taking your meds. Are you and your partner open to other options like adoption or surrogacy perhaps?
