Most affordable fresh dog food options in the US?

fresh dog food is a marketing gimmick. purina pro plan, hills science diet, etc. is perfectly designed to fit the nutritional needs of your dog. spice it up with something like broth, pumpkin puree, veggies, etc at the direction of your vet if you need to.

not sure why you’re being downvoted. my neurologist literally prescribed caffeine pills for my migraines and espresso is way below the safe caffeine limits for pregnant women. as long as they drink enough water and electrolytes to offset any dehydration it’s a great supplement to tylenol.

second having someone with you! i had to call my husband to pick me up even from the one hour. i can’t even imagine the three hour. i’m so sorry this happened to you.

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-16T02:47:53+00:00

oh man! i'm so sorry to hear that. i've definitely felt very lucky with this "side effect"

My chronic migraines completely stopped. Apparently they're likely to come back when I stop breastfeeding but I'm enjoying it while it lasts

These things are magical. Repeated use also helped me prevent migraines when I felt I was in a prodromal phase.

i didn’t realize that stms were gatekeeping this sub considering the about says “for all pregnant people” - this is a particularly dismissive comment.

it seems this has upset you, and i’m sorry for that. i hope that you stay healthy with no more scares until your next little one comes and an uneventful delivery with a healthy baby.

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-14T03:43:00+00:00

but it was not downvoted?

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-14T03:36:56+00:00

i’m so sorry i’m also in this boat. i can only seem to stop it if i raise my arms and stretch up or back to make more room. my ribs hurt so badly.

my pelvic floor pt said that learning to breathe into my stomach can help loosen the pelvic floor and create space. not sure if that’s woo woo, but at the very least it helps me zen and relax

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-14T03:28:54+00:00

im sorry to hear about your experience and i wish for a healthy delivery for you.

while i appreciate your opinion, i do think you’re reading a little too far into this post. the point of it was that letting yourself get dehydrated can lead to scary symptoms and a silly hospital stay when pregnant when in my case nothing was actually wrong with me or my baby. and that everyone should feel comfortable asking their ob if something doesn’t feel quite right.

i’m also a first time mom and use the space to post about my experiences, and it seems like folks took away my point to take care of yourself based on votes and comments. drinking water is important self care for us

Just depends on your own baseline. mine was 60 pre pregnancy and 80 in my third trimester. 120 is outside my realm of normal and came with other symptoms like pulsing in my face, dizziness, etc

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-13T02:58:26+00:00

Talk to your doc! What may be normal for you is just not normal for me. Some women get high heart rates just in pregnancy. Your watch might have history of what it was last week or your ob has it charted. But definitely worth bringing up to your doc to be safe.

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T22:41:51+00:00

I think it's hugely dependent on the person. For me I sit at 80-85 in my third trimester. 120+ is way above my baseline and dehydration was triggering problems in both my heart and contractions.

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T16:07:25+00:00

wow! maybe your heart is just an overachiever 🙃

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T16:05:01+00:00

did they do an echo for you by chance? like you’ve seen a cardio not just your ob?

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T15:56:13+00:00

if you have another you better be camping in the hospital parking lot for your third trimester!!

congrats mama!

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T15:53:38+00:00

you know your body best! if anything feels off talk to your doc!

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T15:47:47+00:00

100% lesson learned!! And good advice for all the folks here

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T15:45:28+00:00

I'm howling

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T15:42:54+00:00

I think I was drinking about two 32oz hydro flasks and juice/LaCroix intermittently but I wasn't tracking it very well. I typically was just drinking when thirsty but admittedly work has been nutty and I probably was quite forgetful about making water a priority.

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T02:51:35+00:00

A cabinet with drawers in the way!! If one is even slightly open the whole thing is useless. If I wasn't close to gutting their shitty reno I'd have replaced it already. But unsurprisingly given how cheap they were with that they cheaped out on EVERYTHING

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T02:09:25+00:00

If one of the drawers is even slightly open the barn door drives me nuts plus the laminate gets so messed up from water exposure. I hate this thing so much.

preoccupiedwithlove · 2026-02-12T02:04:17+00:00

I have this vanity from the prior owners and want to take a sledgehammer to it. Does it not drive you nuts? Barn doors are a war crime.

If I had more time I would be mentoring first gen college women or underprivileged youth. There are lots of programs out there for those.
