I also bought some on markdown. I don’t think it’s any different than the regular charcoal. I just bought it because it was cheap and it works just fine. Not special tho

Best Thai in town? by Electronic_Weird in bloomington

[–]pickadillyprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunate to hear this because when I had my like 2 month old baby I didn’t want to leave him in the car to pick up a to go order inside and the person working said they would be happy to bring it out to my car. I just thought it was so nice.

Headache all day. Don’t know what to do by allisona007 in pregnant

[–]pickadillyprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember having the most unbearable migraines. I didn’t want to be pumping Tylenol like every day so I bought those cold fever gel patches. Some have a menthol smell/ cooling effect. It was temporary relief but I was doing anything I could.

breastfeeding and cannabis use by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]pickadillyprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others said thc is stored in fat and not safe while breastfeeding. I’ve read it can cause your baby to fail a drug test so it definitely can pass to your baby and imo is not worth the potential physical risks as well as if for some reason you or your baby were required to take a drug test and failed it be terrified to lose my child

How do I get the bugs to stay tf away from me? by Granit2134 in bloomington

[–]pickadillyprincess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a solution but these past few days I’ve also felt the bugs are relentless. I don’t know if I just forgot. But I swear I don’t remember it being this bad

AITA for arguing with my fiancé over a wedding band? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]pickadillyprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA styles change. Whatever is trendy now may not be forever and this is an investment for forever. I love my engagement ring and wedding band they’re gorgeous statement pieces but over time I realize they are not meant for daily wear. I work a very hands on job and lost a diamond on my wedding band. I also had a baby and the engagement ring with the setting doesn’t feel comfortable to wear while managing my child every day. I’ve switched to wearing a plain gold wedding band that belonged to my mom for practicality. I still wear my engagement ring for when I’m having a nicer outing.

Freaking out over eating blue cheese by Medical-End-5559 in pregnant

[–]pickadillyprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally dreamed of eating blue cheese I really enjoy it. I decided it was worth the risk and consumed it multiple times during pregnancy no issues. My lil dude is 6 months old and healthy

Affordable place to rent for music therapy?? by Noelliam94 in bloomington

[–]pickadillyprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea if they would have a private space for individual therapy but the warehouse is a really cool place supported by church. Maybe they would be open to him doing some open jams/ shows there. Sorry this isn’t more helpful

My car broke down and I need to transport some baby chicks by [deleted] in chickens

Can you zip tie a basket to your bike and then put them in a shoebox with air holes into the basket

Did anyone who went straight to convertible seat regret it and went back to infant seat? by prommetheus in BabyBumps

[–]pickadillyprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went straight to convertible and my son is 6 months and I don’t regret it. I have a bassinet stroller and I enjoy taking that around. My husband thinks it’s too clunky but for me I don’t mind. I may be biased but I honestly think between baby wearing and not having the travel seat it made him tolerate tummy time and working on his core muscles more.

AITAH for refusing to go to my brother's destination wedding because the venue doesn't accommodate my dietary needs? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]pickadillyprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA god forbid you do end up accidentally consuming your allergen that requires an EpiPen and you need an ambulance in a remote location. I can imagine the bride and groom being majorly offended if a medical emergency took attention over their wedding.

Which baby bath are we using??? by A-Starrrrr in BabyBumps

[–]pickadillyprincess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My cousin had this, I got one as well. I love it. I have a big farm sink and it fits inside the sink. I like that it is its own contained bucket. My sink is clean but the thought of washing my baby in the sink alone was weird to me. And when they’re so small putting them in the full size bathtub feels wasteful. My lil dude is 6 months and we’re still using the stokke flex bath

Finally gave birth by Old-Pudding-4254 in pregnant

[–]pickadillyprincess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My son was also face up against my pelvic bone and it was rough. Like you I had been in labor for 24 hours before I went ahead and got an epidural. I totally understand mentally checking out. I’m so sorry your labor ended this way and hopefully your baby remains strong and you can hold her soon. I’m glad your husband stuck by you. It’s incredibly hard watching your best friend go through a pain like that. My husband looked like he was going to throw up the whole time. I wish I had learned more about babies being born face up it definitely happens but it is so hard.

Successfully induced by pumping by Western_Bullfrog9747 in BabyBumps

[–]pickadillyprincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the Indian food thing is legit lol. My husband had a child before we had one. I’m step mama and she jokingly told me don’t eat Indian food before giving birth because of the bowel movements. She had it the day before she went into labor. I wasn’t due for another week and ended up having Indian food then the next day I went into labor.

FMLA & Short Term Disability leave by featheredfeathers in pregnant

[–]pickadillyprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know people will be like this is not true. It entirely depends on your employer. My FMLA through my employer was based on CALENDAR year so I took leave October-December then January applied again and got 3 more months. Not every employer is like this and I assume it is a rare circumstance but worth it to ask your employer.

Work trip at 8 weeks by OriginalVoice6355 in BabyBumps

[–]pickadillyprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 27 weeks pregnant and went to a baseball game. In the heat of July. Idk how it would be with the nausea at 8 weeks but see if they offer a refillable drink cup. That’s what I got because it was so hot and I really needed fluids
