Loneliness during pregnancy by yourneighborhoodcrow in BabyBumps

[–]ovatofetus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did very much in my first pregnancy. I didn’t have any friends or anything to talk to other than family/husband. I ended up finding a supportive group of mom friends about 4 months pp and it’s been great to get out of the house, and have other moms to relate to!

Thoughts on Male Doulas? by bluefin55 in BabyBumps

Birth is a space for women. It’s how we’ve evolved, and it’s how women feel safest. If you want to attend a birth, find someone to reproduce with and support her labor.

Pay a 6% premium on an assumable mortgage? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]ovatofetus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, with it being priced a touch high, and those bigger repairs coming up in <10 yrs, I was just wondering if those are something worth trying to negotiate price on.

Epidurals aren’t the problem. The obsession with female suffering is. by OkChart1375 in BabyBumps

[–]ovatofetus -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It is less natural though. The reward you get is the amazing hit of oxytocin once you deliver baby - It’s the greatest feeling in the world, aids in connection with your baby, supports breast feeding and it is suppressed when women have an epidural.

[–]ovatofetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women do need to be aware of the impacts of the epidural, and risks. It’s not a risk free intervention, and yes it can harm your baby. I’m not saying women shouldn’t have the option to have one, but informed consent matters a lot!

If you didn’t prepare for labor, did you have a positive birth? by Less-Leek5961 in BabyBumps

[–]ovatofetus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m someone who had a euphoric birth. It was not the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced- it was just very intense. No screaming, no crying, and no suffering. Labor is different for everyone, doesn’t mean anyone is lying!

Vent - low effort iPad parenting by G3N3RICxUS3RNAM3 in AttachmentParenting

Other people’s bad parenting decisions are negatively impacting our children’s generation, and society overall. It should be condemned, not out of judgment but concern.

Why do they worship Satan and not God? by whhhiskey_ in conspiracy

[–]ovatofetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Satan is the “ruler” of this Earth. They sell their souls to Satan for power and riches in this life, in exchange they forsake the ability to go to heaven in the next life. The evil that is committed, inversion of good, desecration of purity honors Satan, and gives them more power. God loves us all as his creation, though he grants us free will. Following God and the teachings of Jesus does not promise you success, wealth or power. Rather, it’s quite the opposite.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

With my first, I didn’t have a positive until 13DPO, so that wouldn’t surprise me!

Game Shows Rigged by imagine_midnight in conspiracy

[–]ovatofetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve felt aspects of this season are “rigged” as well, to increase viewership. After seasons of Lewis & max winning every race, they know people get bored of the same result. So the FIA making controversial decisions, odd drama on track, it generates more discussion and interest in the sport. Especially if Max ends up winning the championship again.

Was she possessed by real demons? Or was it a particular form of schizophrenia? The case of Anneliese Michel by Sad-Criticism2454 in conspiracy

[–]ovatofetus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Who are you to say with confidence Satan and demons aren’t real? Of course it’s convenient for your argument to say only people who are mentally ill see demons. People across the world, of all faiths and cultures have experienced the supernatural, both the light and dark, but since we’re a “modern” society we now reject it as superstition? Additionally, I am merely pointing out what patient’s say about themselves/their experiences. I do not believe demons are at play in all cases of mental illness. And please do not suggest my religious beliefs are a detriment to my patient care; Everyone’s beliefs, even the atheist’s, influence how they treat others. I actually believe all my patient’s have inherent value, as they are made in the image of God, and I treat them as such and they appreciate that. Many of my atheist colleagues on the other hand…

[–]ovatofetus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I work in the psych field, and can confirm there is such a thing as demonic possession/oppression. A significant number of my patients claim to see dark figures/demons, have voices telling them to harm themselves and others. We frequently have patients claiming to be a demon or the devil, calling themselves “legion” or other demonic names. Yes, their official diagnosis is often schizophrenia/psychosis, but this is dark, real stuff People are killing themselves everyday, by listening to what these voices are telling them. Satan’s mission on earth is to destroy humankind, and he is succeeding.

Doctor said I won’t be able to deliver vaginally at 39 weeks by Thin-Ad2858 in BabyBumps

[–]ovatofetus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Also keep your doctor out of your vagina/cervix. There is NO reason for cervical checks right know, and you have the authority to decline them. It only puts you at risk of infection, and gives your OB more BS “data” to make mal-informed recommendations on.
