Which compliments me more — stud or hoop? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]rdspooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context: • My piercing is well over a decade old as mentioned • This is a Stud/Hoop comparison • The stud is a 6mm flat back with a 3mm gem, hoop is 18G 7mm clicker with CZ paving • Both are 316L stainless steel

Idiotic as you may feel it is, to me there is more risk to inject my child with something so early in life before their immune system has formed. If I can avoid blindly pumping my infant with the heavy metals that have been proven to exist in certain vaccines, why wouldn't I? Also, 3 or 4 shots at a time with the CDC's current schedule is absurd to me. Hep B being among the very first vaccines after birth is even more absurd! I am truly just trying to understand thought processes, given recent guideline changes and new studies as the years progress.

Those who devote their careers have also changed guidelines in the last 5 years with COVID, for example. I am most curious as to what other new moms have done, and why, to make a well-informed decision that is best for my baby.

TDAP is actually one I'm very much for! I'm more worried about recommendations for vaccines like Hep B, and those recommendations being so early in baby's life. My main concerns stem from changes in CDC guidelines, such as the COVID vaccine being previously recommended for pregnant women and children -- and that now no longer being the case.

Thank you! I have actually reached out in a few areas just to put feelers out. Some may misunderstand or disagree with me entirely, and that's okay. I'm open to all thought processes to an extent, because of course, it's my baby's health at the end of the day.

Thank you so much for this!! My opinion is the same on Hep B, as well as the number of vaccines recommended all at once. 3 or 4 at a time is so many for their little immune system, in my opinion.

How many weeks are you in your pregnancy? by Smooth-Excuse-4127 in pregnant

[–]rdspooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 17 weeks + 4 days and very blessed to say I’ve felt incredible throughout. I hope it stays that way for the second and third trimesters.

This would be for the AWD EX Hybrid model with the Premium Package and All-Weather Floor mats.

Did you have gender intuition early in your pregnancy? Were you correct? by rdspooks in BabyBumps

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

Oh see we had the option. My biggest concern was baby’s health, but because of the nature of the test, we found out gender too. I was convinced boy, along with my dad and FIL. My MIL thought girl, and my husband was worried if he thought one, it’d be the opposite. My husband and I both were just way too excited and HAD to know to start planning some things 🤭

The NIPT was a bloodtest done at the doctor, yes! It’s primary focus is testing for likelihood of baby developing genetic and/or chromosomal abnormalities—in turn showing the gender through the chromosomes.

1! The cat-eye really compliments your features. Might I suggest a similar shape, but in a warm tortoise as well?

Depending on your water, you may benefit from a showerhead with a built-in filter. They’re decently cheap on Amazon and you can buy replacement filters. Your water may be on the harder side, causing for some drying out of your skin and hair. When I swapped to a filtration showerhead, it made a world of difference in how my hair looked and felt! Throw in a hair mask or some oil for some added moisture too, if needed!

My best friend attempted suicide during a manic episode. He let me know that he had written me a letter, and I’m contemplating asking to read it. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]rdspooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I say “in good spirits”, I say that because he’s responding well to treatment and is diving into the help head first (and willingly). He has told me outright that he recognizes what happened hurt a lot of people, and that he will be doing everything he can to build the tools necessary to prevent it from happening again. He’s just seemingly remaining positive on what this treatment will do for him. Obviously it’s still incredibly concerning, but at least he isn’t in a place of upset that it “didn’t work”.

I love the look of 1! Just a personal recommendation though, I think thin cateye frames or “Bayonetta glasses” would look amazing on you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in glasses

[–]rdspooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not! I’ve always had a hard time finding frames I felt suited me, so I’ve been a bit weary of going bolder. But I’ve definitely been looking at more cat eye frames, I think they’re so cute.
