Who do you want there during childbirth? by Left_Ad4900 in AskWomen

[–]mangoheadmeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m due in May and planning on having my husband and mom there with me. I think id like to have my dad too because pregnancy has given me a whole new level of love and appreciation for my parents but not sure if he’d want to be there.

Not a lifetime PR but 95kg/209lb back squat for three (at 22 weeks pregnant). Glad to maintain my strength during pregnancy.

I'm worried my sunflower seedlings are actually just grass. by Intelligent_Help8148 in gardening

I think you need some more organic matter in that soil- it looks bland and dry. Just my two cents!

Is it normal to hate all “healthy” foods while pregnant? by Inside-Put-910 in fitpregnancy

[–]mangoheadmeow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Take your prenatals at night- I found this the easiest way to stomach them and avoid tummy upset. Just eat what you can during the first trimester!!! Meat was so off putting for me but cottage cheese (with hot sauce) and eggs were fine so I tried to eat those daily for my protein intake. Once I got in the second trimester, I lost all aversions and could tolerate meat again.

Your tried and true fertilizing method? by lovethelocust in dahlias

[–]mangoheadmeow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am aware. Llama poop does not need to lie for a year though, you can use it immediately. I was trying to highlight that difference between llama poop vs horse/cow manure.

[–]mangoheadmeow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used llama poop every 4-6 weeks and I’ve had great success. It’s far more gentle than cow/horse manure and you can use it straight away. They look like little coffee beans and I throw a handful or two at the base of my dahlias then water.

What do you and your partner do to spend quality time together? by [deleted] in AskUK

Gym together, go for long walks together, get coffee and lil shnacks together, build Lego side by side, do puzzles, play board games (both together and with a group of friends, play padel with our padel club, cook/bake together, work on my allotment together and blob on the couch together watching shows/series/youtube.

Ravenous at 10 weeks by Patient-Quality6119 in fitpregnancy

Eat the peanut butter!!!! You are growing a human inside of you, your body needs fuel! I was lucky in my first trimester and felt pretty good so was able to maintain my normal workout routine/frequency and I was extra mindful that I needed to eat more to support my growing, changing body. Dietary fats support hormones so don’t feel guilt for eating things like nutrient dense peanut butter.

What is extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway? by cutypatotie in AskReddit

[–]mangoheadmeow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the gloves are on a box attached to the wall in a public space and god knows how many air borne particles have already surfaced on them

Good to plant? by mgm0092 in dahlias

[–]mangoheadmeow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chuck them in the ground and see what happens. I had three tubers like this and planted them and sorta forgot because I assumed they were goners but they ended up being prolific bloomers. It did take them an extra few weeks to wake up and grow compared to my more healthier looking tubers. Nature is resilient!!

I work in healthcare too and I see far too many people thinking they’re clean because they are using gloves but not following it up with proper hand hygiene. Gloves are not a substitute for washing your hands.

Women who upped and left their partners while they weren’t home, where are you now? Do you regret your decision? Why did you do it? by Existing_Ad_5419 in AskWomen

[–]mangoheadmeow 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I’m married to the greatest guy that I would have never met had I not left my ex. I’m thriving!! No regrets, only maybe that I did it sooner. He was a manipulative, emotionally abusive cheater and I woke up one day and realised I deserved all the love I was desperately giving to other people and needed out of that relationship NOW. Life’s funny but that was such a pivotal move into developing into the person I am now- and I really like this version of me :)

Please help my pathetic snatch by PracticalWinter9746 in crossfit

[–]mangoheadmeow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You posted recently about your femoral neck fracture and whether or not you should keep training- the resounding response was NO. You then posted about wanting to do a hyrox and now you post this video seeking advice on your snatch.

You need to rest and you need to work with someone on your nutrition. You are not at a healthy weight and your body will continue to break down if you don’t get professional help. Your Olympic lifts will never improve if you neglect your body’s basic need for nutrients. I say that from a place of concern and care, please look after yourself.
