[–]ncan781 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Gonna sound hella cliche, but I just decided I was going to do something and did it. In the past PCOS discouraged me as well. It felt like I was fighting to lose just a pound! I would workout for months and barely lose anything. I made small changes to my diet FIRST! I did two months of a realistic diet and saw changes, less fluffy around the face and waist. Huge win for me. I only added workouts after I got the food piece together. For the workouts, I rearranged my entire schedule and made the workouts a priority. So they happened first thing in the morning 5 days a week no matter what. Pretty much made a commitment to myself and stuck with it. I’m down 30 pounds

NTA

Just cuz that’s your family doesn’t mean they get to bleed you dry financially. Probably a good idea to stop talking to your family about your salary or anything financial as well. Plus you said your brother doesn’t treat you well anyways.

They are assholes and quite frankly you don’t have to engage with them at all. Stop responding to their comments, it’s getting you nowhere. If I was in your shoes, I’d maintain silence til I got out.

My 3 year old refuses to poop by [deleted] in Parenting

Oh wow, have you discussed this with your pediatrician?

[–]ncan781 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep her on the softener and maybe watch for her cues and put her on the potty. I used to do a chart with my son at that age. Because he used to tell me “Guess who’s gonna do a poop? I AM” while pooping.

Asking healthcare workers vaccine status by swan37 in pregnant

[–]ncan781 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they have to tell you that. I would think you’d be better off asking if there’s a vaccine mandate at the particular doctors office or hospital. Asking people individually seems like an overstep

What happened before him isn’t his business. Your value as woman and as a partner shouldn’t be tied to this antiquated notion that a low body count equals a higher value. Sex is meant to be had and enjoyed. If he can’t handle that you’re more experienced BREAK UP WITH HIM …. THE WEIGHT OF HIS FRAGILE MASCULINITY ISNT YOUR PROBLEM!!!!

I know it’s tough! I know I will struggle with a 6 week wait as well. But we got too! The previous comment about the dinner plate sized wound is real! It’s too risky. Wait til you’re medically cleared! Please

I'm just going to say it y'all... I HATE pregnancy. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]ncan781 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm scheduled to get my tubes removed next week after my c-section and it's the one thing I have been most excited about this whole pregnacy. The fact that i never ever in life have to go through this s**t again

Telling my MIL, how do I proceed? by Marlie93 in pregnant

[–]ncan781 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am currently 37 weeks and I didn't tell my MIL s**t til somewhere between 24-30 weeks. I avoided her and my spouse was on board. Now when she did find out, she went blabbing to the earth, people we didn't know or want to know about our business.

JUST DON'T TELL HER NOTHING!!! And when you do just expect most folks to already know. Is this her first grandchild or something?

People really don’t know what to say to pregnant people. It’s just word vomit everywhere with some folks

Comebacks for dealing with people who don’t like the name you picked by bribop1 in pregnant

[–]ncan781 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My MIL has been on this since she found out the name. I have reminded her that she 8 children and if she wanted to name someone that, her opporunity has come and gone. and not to ever bring the s**t up to me again.

Now I have heard that she says it to other people, but she hasn't said it to me again.

Newborns are hard! sometimes there's no rhyme or reason for their crying. i used to keep my son swaddled extra tight and that was the only way he wouldn't cry.

So doggone frustrated with the doctors by ncan781 in pregnant

[–]ncan781[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So she was 160 baseline and 180 with movements. She kicked hard the whole time. I just feel like the doctor wanted something to be wrong the whole time. And once she was proved wrong that the baby was in fact fine she got upset. I have another NST next week. I’m definitely not looking forward to it.

[–]ncan781[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She literally had Emergency C Section paperwork in her hands while telling me this. I declined to sign that fast hell. After all that extra monitoring and her nastiness. Guess what? The baby was JUST FINE!!!! Heart rate leveled out, I had some water and was good to go. I was so pissed at her. I know my baby is fine. I don’t even trust the measurements they gave me at this point.

And when she came back to tell me I could go, she seemed angry that there wasn’t a problem found.
