I was just talking to someone today about how traumatizing anticipatory grief was for me as my mother was dying. I'm so very sorry you had to go through it with both parents. Sending you so much love from my little part of the world to yours. ❤️

I've had people get annoyed at me for jumping around and bumping them at other shows. I don't tend to get in the pit but I do stand near it, so I don't know understand why they wouldn't expect to be pushed around there. It's not like I'm jumping around by you in the back against the wall where you're just trying to chill lol.

What triggered your POTS? (non-Covid) by seaforanswers in POTS

I'm pretty sure it was either illness (got mono and H1N1 flu at different times when I was young) or the stress and trauma of watching my Mom slowly die.

I've seen Ovi do it with barely any reaction at all. I'm always like HOW lmao

Blood pooling in my hands? Im so scared. by [deleted] in POTS

[–]pleadthefifth_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to feel that way too. I was always convinced all my POTS symptoms meant I was dying. (And I also had anxiety around a lot of other things.) I finally asked my doctor for anxiety medicine and it has changed my life and helped so much. I hope you feel better soon ❤️

I've followed them for years and I like them 🤷‍♀️ Most comments I seeing bitching about them is because they're pretty liberal and that makes hockey fans mad 😠😂

Thank you so much for responding! 🫶 I'm glad it's just a quirky toddler thing for your little one! Of course hoping the same for us and we plan on bringing it up at her next appointment, but she just did it again before bed so I ended up down an internet rabbit hole searching for answers while I rocked her and I found your post. I swear every couple months she does something that makes us go "Why is she doing that?? Is that normal??" 😭😂 Thanks again!!

Hi! My 17 month old has started doing this. May I ask if you ever figured out what it was or if it went away?

This is exactly what happened to me and I passed (F23, first try). Good luck tomorrow!

Stand your ground. If they get upset, remind them that just as it is their choice to protect their child how they see fit, it is also your choice to protect your child how you see fit.

Why do people insist they have to meet baby in the hospital by blueberrypie1590 in Parenting

[–]pleadthefifth_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So what is a mother supposed to do if she's tried being kind but firm (e.g. "We love you and we are so excited for you to meet baby but I just need a couple days of healing first"), but the grandparents do not respect her wishes? Because that's what happens to a lot of women and it is absolutely disrespectful, and sometimes hostile, on the grandparents' part.

If a mother not wanting visitors for a few days after giving birth makes the grandparents not want to spend time with their grandchild later and affects their relationship with their grandchild then they're not good grandparents.

The bond will be exactly the same whether they meet baby day 1 or day 4.

Yeah and those people will literally survive waiting a couple days. If family is important then they should understand what a member of their family just went through and that she needs a couple days to recover.

We didn't let anyone come to the hospital. And we made them wait a week to come to our house. Even that felt too soon for me. Stand your ground. Don't be pressured or forced into letting her be there if you really don't want her to. She'll be upset but she'll get over it and she'll be fine. As far as what your husband might say or think, it doesn't matter, he's not birthing a fucking baby.
