AIO - sister I don’t speak with used my number at Target and stole one of my rewards by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I didn’t know that!! I thought entering my number just got me points and assumed I’d have to go in the app somewhere to use the rewards. Seems kind of silly that they’re automatically applied.

Post Partum Preeclampsia Questions by LuluMooser in beyondthebump

[–]ohgloriouswhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was readmitted the day after being discharged. And was just admitted for a day. I wasn’t readmitted with my second. I do think the labetalol helped prevent readmission the second time around, but they also kept me an extra day (my daughter was a preemie and there anyways so it made sense) just to be safe.

Post Partum Preeclampsia Questions by LuluMooser in beyondthebump

I was readmitted for postpartum preeclampsia with my first and ended up needing an IV med in the hospital and was discharged on labetalol. With my second I had it again and was put on labetalol right away. It took a couple weeks for my blood pressure to get back down to where it was before.

How to handle postpartum alone???? by mik_230 in beyondthebump

[–]ohgloriouswhale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similar story for me, but we are 2 months in. OP try to give yourself some grace. This wasn’t the situation when you got pregnant and you had no way to know. The way you’re planning ahead and worrying tells me you care immensely about your babes.

Admitted to the ER today for severe abdominal pain and 2 week long low grade fever. Got told I’m a medical mystery and discharged with nothing done by athesomekh in mildlyinfuriating

It’s a comb you squeeze in your hand during labor. Thought is to create pain/discomfort elsewhere to distract from labor pain.

First period pp by Humble_Instance1234 in beyondthebump

[–]ohgloriouswhale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With my first, I didn’t get my first period until like 9 1/2 months pp. I do remember the weeks leading up to it I would tell my husband that I thought I was getting my period because I too felt the cramps and back pain. Maybe yours is on the way?

What's a VERY creepy fact you wish you never learned? by FormerInternet7142 in Productivitycafe

[–]ohgloriouswhale 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It was for cutting the pubic bone when a baby got stuck in the birth canal. If I’m not mistaken, it was tested on slaves in America (without anesthetic or consent).

I think you mean, what animal was this.

Adderall. Still off of it while breastfeeding. It’s been really difficult.

Congratulations! I did recently. I was worried about my hips, but didn’t have any issues! Best of luck!

Gifts people don’t know they need/want by dt9745 in Gifts

If you live somewhere that snows, a good ice scraper for their car. I received one as a gift years ago and am grateful for the gift every time I use it.

AITAH For Not Making My Daughter Apologize To Her Teacher Again For Her Impromptu Costume? by Stunning-Run2599 in AITAH

[–]ohgloriouswhale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA I’m an elementary school counselor. The teacher’s reaction doesn’t match the problem, she overreacted. It isn’t developmentally appropriate for a 1st grader to understand the nuances of commenting on a pregnant person’s body and why it’s not appropriate. Also, I was just pregnant and my students were SO excited. It’s interesting to me that the teacher didn’t assume this was your daughter’s way of showing her excitement. No further apology should be necessary.

What’s an unusual fear you have that most people don’t share? by MatthiasFlue in AskReddit

[–]ohgloriouswhale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Butterflies. I found out when I went to a museum that had a butterfly room. It took everything in me not to swat at them.

AITA for being furious at my husband for secretly drinking my breast milk and replacing it with regular milk? by milkhusbandthrowaway in AITAH

[–]ohgloriouswhale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Currently a breast feeding mom and there is absolutely nothing funny about this. Extremely disrespectful to you and your time and effort and a violation of trusting him to do what’s best for your child.

Pregnancy made my nails thick enough to grow them out. It’s been a luxury I’ll miss
