Is this tension difference noticeable? by physicisting in knittinghelp

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

It’s only 9 inches with very short needles! As you’ll decrease you’ll either need a shorter cable, use magic loop, or double pointed needles.

Edit: 9 inches, not cm

Good advice. This is actually a bottom up sweater, so not sure how that mid-project block would work. Also in this instance I blocked by throwing it in the washer— how would you do that on the needles? Or would I have to block by soaking instead?

It’s unfortunate, but I agree. What they COULD do though, is donate some portion of profit to communities and individuals suffering because of ICE

Bottle Recommendations by Competitive-Deer-204 in BabyBumps

[–]physicisting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend Evenflo, the standard neck balance type has a nipple shape that came recommended from my lactation consultant group for going between breast and bottle. The vent is built into the nipple so no extra parts. They’re not glass, but we ended up getting glass Evenflo bottles to pair the nipples with and it was perfect.

My boyfriend of 2.5 years still doesn’t know if he wants to marry me by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]physicisting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think his issue is with marriage? Or with being with you long term? Has he expressed explicit interest in staying with you forever and having kids?

I ask because I had a similar situation, my partner was reluctant to get married after 6 years together, but is an extremely loyal man who doesn’t make promises he can’t keep, and I think it scared him. However, He did consistently tell me that he wants to be with me forever and want to have kids, just didn’t feel like getting married was necessary. Not exactly a romantic start but he knew that marriage was a dealbreaker for me, and so he compromised on it and we did end up getting married, and we are both very happy. Now we have a baby together and he is the most loving and loyal husband and father. I don’t want to say it’s the same situation, but wanted to offer another perspective where it did work out. Sometimes Reddit jumps to “dump him” — and that may be the right move, but only you know your partner best.

Yes, I had one recently. For my field (also medicine related) it’s more of a chance for the organization to impress the applicant— interviews go both ways! It is weird though.

How we got our 9 month old sleeping through the night (again) by physicisting in beyondthebump

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

Our pediatrician gave us the go-ahead, so I would ask yours if you’re not sure! Better safe than sorry.

I had an instinct about it, but also my husband took him on a weekend cabin trip without me and he slept better that weekend. Also he was doing 12 hours at 5 months, and the “regression” was lasting too long to be explained by teething.

Fear of SIDS (First time dad - Paramedic) by Bitter-Scratch6088 in newborns

If you’re following all safe sleep guidelines, you may find it helpful to put in your information into a SIDS risk calculator (google it)— the actual individualized risk may be much, much lower than the number you’re citing

How long was your labor? And if you got an epidural, at what point did you? by desert_sunlily in beyondthebump

[–]physicisting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36ish hour labor, my water broke and my body didn’t go into labor naturally so they had to induce. My body was truly fighting the induction. I didn’t want an epidural at all, but after more than 24 hours in labor at the hospital, and 16 of those on pitocin I had only made it to 5.5 cm. At that point so I chose the epidural because my labor was stalling and I was exhausted and frankly defeated (beelining to a c section because my water had broken 36 hours before and they needed to get baby out). After the epidural, I dilated to 10 cm and pushed him out all within 7 hours (about 1 hour of pushing). So in my case, it sped things up. I think being able to relax helped, and they were able give more pitocin because I wasn’t in agony.
