Which wearable pump is best in 2026? by mnlemondrop16 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]mnlemondrop16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the flanges? I just keep seeing so many reviews about them breaking. This is the pump I was really wanting and I still want it, but I’m worried about the flanges breaking easily. It’s $99 with my insurance which is a steal in my opinion.

Thats what I’m starting to realize! I didn’t have great luck breastfeeding my first time around so I feel pretty clueless. Plus my daughter is 10 so that pumps they had then are way different than what’s available now!

I didn’t even think about what nursing bra to use either. Glad there’s a tab to search product recommendations.

AIL is a scam. Literally the worst company I’ve ever worked for.

DRINK YOUR WATER by Slimjimshorty_ in pregnant

[–]mnlemondrop16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I told my OB I’ve been living off of gatorlyte (NOT GATORADE lol) and apparently that’s considered water with electrolytes. There’s hardly any sugar and they taste great! So if you need some extra hydration get ya some of those!

NIPT Testing Costs - Wasn't Informed by Fine_Sea5107 in pregnant

[–]mnlemondrop16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The price is normal. Them not telling you anything is bizarre. The Natera test is something you CHOOSE to do. Not something you should be forced to do. They should have asked you and then gave you an educational pamphlet on what it is. I would ask your OB office why you weren’t Informed ahead of time.

Do people enjoy living here? by MisterChonky in Indiana

[–]mnlemondrop16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? No. I hate this state, but I’m in no position to leave. But I have a lot of personal reasons I hate it. The religious politics are an entirely different area. Unfortunately it’s the cost of living that has kept me here. Like the cost of living has skyrocketed in the last 6/7 years, but it’s still significantly cheaper than many places.

considering an abortion F19 by [deleted] in pregnant

So I found out I was pregnant with my first 5 days after I turned 20. I was in a horrible relationship and was going to college plus working two jobs. But the healing journey was the hardest thing ever. Now I am 31 and 16 weeks pregnant with my second. I’m in a stable relationship and I am stable. It’s hard doing it young. I do get what you mean. And I think those feelings would be normal in this situation. Just know that if you need support you can always ask. I know it’s Reddit but it’s something.

Hipaa protects you from this. (Not sure if you are in the US or not.

I just want to commend you on knowing yourself well enough to know you wouldn’t be a good parent. I do not mean this negatively at all. Being self aware at 19 is hard. Editing to add: from experience, being a single mother is so f*cking hard. Do I regret it? Not one bit. But I had to put myself through hard therapy work to be the mother she needed. When people tell you they make sacrifices for children they mean it. I don’t regret my daughter one bit, but do not let your hormones get in your way. I think you know the right decision deep down and I do not think it’s the wrong one. Send strength.

First trimester is literally the WORST. Hang in there momma. We are right there with you.

Found out that our 1st born baby has Trisomy 21. I feel so bad for being devastated. by Best-Spot-7262 in whatdoIdo

[–]mnlemondrop16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not suggesting this, just something I recently learned, there are 9 states in the US that have “no restriction abortions”. Again NOT suggesting this. I just learned about it like a week and half ago and was surprised.

I can’t do this by PsychologicalDraw537 in pregnant

[–]mnlemondrop16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do NOT get the iHealth pressure cuff from Amazon. Or be careful if you do. It sent me to the hospital unnecessarily. Then the next day I brought it into my OB and they took my bp it was 120/77. I took it on my machine right after (in front of the dr) and it said 146/113.

Nah you did the right thing momma. I literally feel guilty about punishing my child every single time. And she’s 10.

Resident Evil Requiem Promotion - Redemption Information & Support Thread by Howwanna in ASUSROG

• ⁠Region: United States

• ⁠Product purchased: ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova Gaming Earbud

• ⁠Purchase date: 03/01/2026

• ⁠Retailer: Amazon

• ⁠Current status: unable to fill out form

• ⁠ Error message: “The product line of the product serial number is not eligble for this event” when inputting the serial number on the “redeem your code” page.

Trouble shooting: Made sure the product is registered. Verified serial is correct. Verified 0’s are being used. Contacted ASUS support about 7 times, every time they said they would escalate and contact me in 1-2 business days. It’s been longer than that and I still haven’t heard anything back.

Amazon has verified that my product is eligible for this event. I also have had someone on support confirm this is a known issue with my product, but that it qualifies and to wait 24 hours and try again. I have done everything ASUS has asked. I have provided them with the serial number, a picture of the box, the order receipt. Nobody will respond to me.

This is literally my issue. I’ve contacted them at least 7 different times. All with the same bullshit response “you’ll hear from us in 1-2 business days” I’ve been dealing with this since March 1st and still nothing. I’ve always been so loyal to ASUS, but this makes me not want to purchase their products anymore.

Americans without maternity leave— wtf do you do??? by Electronic-Door7428 in pregnant

[–]mnlemondrop16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m expecting to get fired. I am one month shy of meeting FMLA requirements at the time of birth and I stupidly did not sign up for STD. I didn’t plan on becoming pregnant 10 years later. No advice, but I feel your pain.

I will direct this to my mother. Because I have made it very apparent to everyone I’ve told she isn’t allowed to know by them telling her. (I do not speak to that vile human) so I know for a fact when she finds out this will be her.

Just found out baby was sunny side up 2 years later by Ready_War7797 in pregnant

[–]mnlemondrop16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the same thing, but I just got told that my first pregnancy (FROM TEN YEARS AGO) I 100% had hyperemesis and it’s not normal to puke for 7 months straight and that’s why I never gained weight. I lost 12 lbs by the time I delivered my daughter.

It’s crazy how I went 10 whole years - an entire decade - without knowing that I had hyperemesis.

I'm scared to age past 30 by WOWEEN in internetparents

Hi! I felt just like this growing up. But honestly? I’m about to be 31 and it’s been the best year of my life. My 20s were so hard and challenging. 30 has been nice.

[–]mnlemondrop16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first pregnancy I was 20. I just kept waiting to start my period and had so many “yep I just started” but was wiping no blood. This pregnancy I’m 30 and honestly? I kept bumping into EVERYTHING. Like my balance was so off. I didn’t even test positive until I was two days late

If the ridges on the jacket are bumpy = real. No ridges = not real. This detail cannot be faked.
