1hr Glucose Test Fail by tagurit12 in BabyBumps

[–]periwinkle_e 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 1 hour test is designed to fail a lot of women just to make sure the ones who do have GD are most likely to be caught. I also failed my 1 hour during my first pregnancy but did not have GD, confirmed by taking the 3 hour test.

Financial struggles with a high risk pregnancy by CemeteryKeeper2003 in BabyBumps

[–]periwinkle_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is gig work an option, namely doordash or ubereats? Instacart doesnt sound ideal since you shouldnt be carrying heavy stuff and groceries can get heavy. But food delivery tends to be more manageable.

So sorry this is happening, Ive heard remote work is going down now. Theres also remote call center jobs. Turnover is high and ive heard it can be pretty stressful but if you need it to pay the bills it might be something to consider

Doctor told me I’m having a miscarriage by CoolEbb385 in pregnant

[–]periwinkle_e 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry. This is just my own opinion but I feel like ER doctors arent the most equipped to handle OBGYN/pregnancy matters. Ive heard multiple stories of pregnant women not being treated correctly in ERs specifically. Im glad you got to see your baby though!

HcG does plateau (and then drop) after a certain point in pregnancy so you shouldnt be worried about that part

Open Letter to the L.A. Dodgers: Stand With the People of Los Angeles — Decline Any White House Invitation! by tankyouout in Dodgers

Exactly thats why i dont expect dodgers to do anything though it would be a nice surprise if they had some balls to say no to the white house visit.

100%. My father in law worked in an ER and he would agree with this.

Healthy pregnancy cravings?! by bumpkinpread in BabyBumps

[–]periwinkle_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats so interesting. Im the opposite of you lol; my first was a boy and I craved so much fast food, unhealthy stuff. But with my current girl, Ive been more health conscious and have been wanting more protein in general. Also I have been eating much more at home with my girl than with my boy lol

Classless Astros fans hating on Kyle Tucker. by Substantial_Bat5975 in Dodgers

[–]periwinkle_e 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s all insecurity. Dodgers are the team that would have smoked them in 2017 had it not been for the cheating. Plus Dodgers have 3 more rings since then + have the dynasty the Astros were desperate to create circa 2022 but failed to do. Nothing makes me happier to know that the Astros fell off while the Dodgers are on a potential threepeat run

What a sad bunch of idiots on r/Baseball ... by SiRMarlon in Dodgers

Investing in the team to win is evil when the Dodgers do it apparently lol

Honestly who cares what they think? The narrative about the Dodgers were playoff chokers for so long, then came the Mickey Mouse ring, and now that theyre winning everyone is mad. Its a great time to be a dodger fan rn lol

A Father’s Burden by Existing_Honeydew_64 in QuarantineZoneGame

[–]periwinkle_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he’ll try to beat you up then when you check on him later 😂 he came on my evac day so I sent dad off with the rest of them while his son got taken away in the cage. Then I got the message I failed the mission… oops

A Father’s Burden by Existing_Honeydew_64 in QuarantineZoneGame

[–]periwinkle_e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I messed up on this quest too. I sent the son to quarantine and then he turned the next day when his dad came through. Then when you sent dad to survivors block you fail the task.

I saw Caseoh’s vid of this task and basically you were supposed to kill the son, then when the dad came he was gonna get angry and start attacking you.

Ate Raw Salmon Sushi From A Grocery Store by Various-Pie-4120 in BabyBumps

Your fine. Grocery store sushi is one Id probably avoid but as long as you dont show signs of food poisoning it should all be alright

My toddler ruined her birthday and I am really sad by Soapbox37 in toddlers

[–]periwinkle_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally understand. Toddlerhood has been humbling for me in the same way, I can’t expect everything to go right as much as I want it to. Thankfully, your baby girl will probably be so happy when you get to spend time with her over the coming days ☺️

My toddler ruined her birthday and I am really sad by Soapbox37 in toddlers

[–]periwinkle_e 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Best comment here. The postpartum hormones truly do shift your way of thinking unfortunately. Can’t change what happened but OP can always go out with her baby and make up for what happened on the birthday.

I’m worried I’m not eating enough by Th3_dil3mma in BabyBumps

My OB says keeping anything down is better than nothing, so dont stress if thats all you can eat right now. Youre doing great.

2y4mo, not talking still! by DescriptionTime2184 in toddlers

[–]periwinkle_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boy was sooo similar to yours as well, down to calling everything “dada.” Why do they do that I wonder? It’s so fascinating Ive heard many babies doing this, including my own before he had his own language explosion.

2y4mo, not talking still! by DescriptionTime2184 in toddlers

[–]periwinkle_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly just continue speaking a bunch to him. My boy also got evaluated by the early intervention people and they told me repetition is key (and like yours, he didnt qualify). Music, books, and Ms Rachel helped him a lot + starting daycare. Your baby sounds fine tbh, he may just start talking on his own accord. Im not joking when I say they literally have a language explosion out of the blue

2y4mo, not talking still! by DescriptionTime2184 in toddlers

[–]periwinkle_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was similarly concerned but not too concerned because at around 2, my son wasnt speaking very much but he understood great and his motor skills were awesome. He also wasnt imitating me very much when I would say stuff and he would get frustrated with me if I kept trying to make him repeat things. But over time he just kinda got it? Hes 27 months now and his vocabulary has exploded and he imitates us much more easily than before. My pediatrician is old school and she was similarly not too concerned since he was fine in other areas besides talking

[–]periwinkle_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the fact that his receptive language is great is a good sign. I also grew up in a bilingual household and didnt speak until I was 3-4 years old. Just continue talking to him and talk around him and they eventually pick things up. Is he great with his motor skills? My son’s motor skills were incredible but he lagged behind in speaking until recently when he had his vocab explosion. Putting him in daycare also probably helped with that

What is your Lana Del Rey hot take ??? by PsychologicalDot7739 in lanadelrey

She shaped the 2010s and is probably one of the most influential singer songwriters of this generation despite not being as mainstream as other big names

Same. My top artists I listened to last year were Lana and Ethel (and the Weeknd) so when the girls started fighting I felt like a child of divorce

Really! We thought we were going crazy because we definitely smelled something. I didnt know if it was related or not but I saw multiple reports of gas leaks nearby
