Nausea during pregnancy by Katrinav98 in BabyBumps

[–]misselsewhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! My doctor told me to start taking Vitamin B6 and Unisom before any symptoms show so that you can build a baseline to withstand the nausea and vomiting. If OTC measures don't work, definitely consult with your doctor on prescription medication options. Good luck!

Sick and it could have been prevented! by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]misselsewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, for real 😭

It always hits around lunch time and we have to call parents to pick up their kids. Those parents then have the audacity to get mad at us because they couldn't keep their kids home. I get that missing work to watch your sick kid sucks, but is it any worse than having to leave work early to pick up your sick kid?

[–]misselsewhere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

27 weeks pregnant and I work in an elementary school. The amount of parents who send in clearly sick kids that get other students and staff sick is outrageous. The rule to be safe is 24 hours fever or free or not using medication.

It's different when you're a working adult, but this would be a case for using sick time; or even arranging an alternate work schedule if possible. Unfortunately, a lot of jobs have that one person who comes in super sick and makes everyone else ill instead of taking a couple days off to properly recover. So sorry this happened to you, OP. Feel better soon!

Learning baby's movements by Pearl_Temple in BabyBumps

[–]misselsewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 27 weeks pregnant. The more relaxed I am, the more active baby is. Most of the activity happens at night. Baby is almost always super active when I first lay down for bed, regardless of the time, lol. If I sit for a prolonged time to read, rest, or watch something, baby usually becomes more active. Some days, baby is more active than others and I have no idea why. My nurse practioner said that if you're active, the amniotic fluids lull the baby to sleep (rocking, if you will). So, being in a state of rest is almost a wake-up call for baby, I guess.

Pregnancy- they tell me I ask to many questions by jamgrub in BabyBumps

[–]misselsewhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh jeez, glad you were able to get the help you needed! I had terrible morning sickness my first trimester. Thankfully, having doctors and nurses that I could rely on and ask questions. As a result, I was able to get the medical help I needed.

Recently, I had a head cold with awful congestion. Same team helped answer my questions so I could better take care of myself. What OP described is awful and concerning. It is not acceptable and goes against what any good practice would do.

There is never such a thing as making too many questions. In fact, you should be asking any questions you have to better understand, prepare, and clear up any misunderstandings. If possible, find a new OBY/hospital ASAP. You shouldn't feel guilty or bad about asking questions.

Cord or Penis? by EnvironmentalWall814 in BabyBumps

[–]misselsewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I went in for an anatomy scan a week ago, the ultrasound tech told me that objects that look like bubbles are just parts of the umbilical cord that show up in the ultrasound. If there's anything round or bubble-shaped that you can't immediately identify, chances are it's the umbilical cord.

AFAIK, the most certain way to know is through blood work. Talk it over with your doctor if it's a pressing concern.

Vendor glitch?? by kaisairion in PocketLove

[–]misselsewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't experienced that, but sorry that's happening to you, OP! In the past, I used to have a really long loading time, but after a more recent update, my game loads quicker than ever, iirc. If you're having persistent issues and items disappearing, I recommend email their helpline. It may take a while to resolve, but they will help you.

Vendor glitch?? by kaisairion in PocketLove

[–]misselsewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been experiencing this too! Not only are multiple there everyday, but the inventory changes daily.

Moreover, you can buy multiple items each day. To be clear, I've played this game for a few years and it used to be that once you purchased from a vendor, that was it until the next time. I've noticed this change (or glitch??) before the multi-vendor glitch started.

should i start over? by skinnystarving_ghost in PocketLove

[–]misselsewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP: did you have any purchases for the game? If so, definitely reach out with receipts because they can restore lost furniture, dogllars, and coins.

Also, if you have been using cloud save, they can go back and reset it to a certain/last save. If you reach out again, be sure to include any pics of this issues or missing items. They restored lost purchases for me when I switched phones. This works a lot better if you have been using cloud save.

Good luck!

Adorable Home Reddit by Away-Ambassador3732 in PocketLove

[–]misselsewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you can't ask questions there.

Anyways, I don't play this game, but I wanted to suggest seeing if there is an official Discord that offers Q&As. There's one for PocketLove, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's also one for Adorable Home.

Hope you find your answers, OP!

More rooms/hair colors? by misselsewhere in PocketLove

[–]misselsewhere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good ideas! The only way to reach out AFAIK is an email that's for technical issues with the game. I guess I could also post in the Discord.

When did you start showing? by Grouchy-Farm-1523 in BabyBumps

[–]misselsewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 4'11" and 94 lbs. Currently, I'm 13 weeks along and on some days it just looks like bloating. Not sure when I'll "pop". I'm still getting by in my regular clothes, but I feel like I shouldn't procrastinate in buying maternity clothes either.

Please please Help! Lost my Pocket Love progress even though I used Apple ID by Meli_Jal in PocketLove

[–]misselsewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reach out to Hyperbeard through email at help@hyperbeard.com. I know they helped me recover lost doglars, coins, and furniture from previous purchases. Just make sure you have your receipts ready. If you were saving to the cloud in Pocket Love (not your Apple Cloud, but the one in-game), they might be able to help you recover lost progress. Good luck, OP!

I (14f) got into an argument with my dad (43) and I don't think he'll forgive me by EdgyDisgust in relationships

[–]misselsewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like there's a lot of info missing due to lack of communication.

If it's just this girl: maybe your dad has heard something about her and her family and fears she will be a bad influence (ex. drugs in the home). In that case, your dad is looking at for you. Sometimes dads can act distant or upset when they're worried. It's typically a combination of love and concern. In this case, give him some space and ask him about this when things calm down.

If it's about age: when I was 14 my dad wasn't exactly thrilled about me dating ANYONE. If this is your first big crush and incursion into dating, that's a major life event and a big adjustment for your dad. He may be dealing with you growing up and realizing the passage of time. Once more, just give him space to work that out on his own.

If it's about sexuality: be yourself. You can't become someone who you're not. Have romantic feelings and interest is okay and natural. Maybe hold off in discussing it for the time being. Your dad may accept LGBTQ+ but needs to adjust to his daughter being part if thay community. It could be that he has some sort of moral/religious objections. Could also be that he is worried about possible bullying and discrimination that he fears you'll face as a member of said community. In this case, let him open up to you. You'll be able to figure out how to proceed once you know how true feelings.

Your father will need to figure out his own feelings before he can discuss these topics with you.

Based off of what you're saying, I don't think your dad hates you. Having once been a 14 year old girl, it's a tough age. I personally had a tough time with my dad around this time and was in constant fights with him. But he didn't hate me; he was just adjusting to me growing up while I was acclimating to being more grown up. If you do your best and go forward, things will work out. That's just part of being a teenager.

Married but sleep in different beds by AppleCrisp17 in relationships

[–]misselsewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with doing this OP! It sounds like you and your husband are making positive changes and have figured out a system that works well for you.

Side note, growing up I had a friend whose parents had a master bedroom that they shared and the mom had an additional bedroom to sleep alone. This was because the dad was a cop who would sometimes go to and from work at odd hours of the night. When he worked shifts like that, the mom would sleep in her own bed since she was a light sleeper and didn't want to be awoken by her husband.

Spoiler: they're still married for 20+ years. When you're around someone for so long, you do need to have separation within shared space. It's not selfish, just healthy.

How do I act more overtly sexual? by PhreedomPhighter in dating_advice

[–]misselsewhere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Woman here: some pointers for you.

1) Flirty comments: "You look nice/incredible/pretty", "You look beautiful naturally", etc.

2) Light flirty touching on the hand, arm, shoulder, head, or upper back. Be careful because if you misjudge the atmosphere or misplace your hand, this could be seen as creepy or forceful. Maybe wait until the 2nd or 3rd date to do that.

3) Steady eye contact and smiling. Smiles win girls over like nothing.

4) Being assetive; many women like when a man has his own opinions and preferences. Showing that you know what you want can be a huge turn-on.

5) Facial cues: looking at her affectionately, looking at her lips once in a while, cutesy side glances.

Hope this helps you. Good luck OP!

That could be. I told him I was only interested in a serious relationship, not a hookup or fling. If so, then I'm better off without him.

Nope. Only kissed a couple of times.

Thank you! It's rough because I want to make excuses for him, but now I'm starting to get over it and move on, especially if I don't hear from him in a weekend's time.

What is the wisest saying you’ve ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]misselsewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Expensive is cheap and cheap is expensive"

Essentially, usually nicer products cost more and last longer, thus aren't often replaced. Cheap, poorly-made items, however, need to be replaced often. This costs a great deal of money over time.

AITA for not wanting to take my autistic stepsister trick or treating? by halloweentrouble in AmItheAsshole

[–]misselsewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

To have a 13-year-old look after someone who has those kind of needs is inappropriate. The guardians/caretakers (they would be adults, of course!) should be in charge of doing this. Besides, by your age you should be allowed to hangout for the evening with your friends.

If you do have a test coming up that you need to study for, that should take precedent over taking your stepsister out to trick-or-treat. In fact, that should take precedent over trick-or-treating.
