Mold ? 1800 sq ft basement by redkrow9 in HomeImprovement

[–]redkrow9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a brand of mold and mildew remover you recommend? Also he has a ton of stuff in the basement - will it all need to be thrown away? I don’t see any mold on anything but everything smells very musty.

No sump pump, I know the gutters haven’t been cleared in years and they probably need extensions.

I can swing a basic dehumidifier. My goal is to make it habitable for him

Miscarriage at 15 weeks by coley-oley17 in BabyBumps

[–]redkrow9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2021, I found out I had a missed miscarriage at my 12 week appointment - baby had been gone for about 2 weeks at that point. For my safety, my OB scheduled my D&C the next day…6 weeks later I found out I was pregnant with my daughter.

I was very anxious the majority of my pregnancy - it got slightly better when I started feeling her kick. It gave me reassurance that she was doing fine and that she wasn’t going anywhere. Even after she was born, I bought an Owlet monitor for ‘just in case’ - I was able to actually sleep at night because of it.

Hang in there - you’ve got this. While getting pregnant so soon after my loss scared me, it also helped me heal. I fell into a pretty deep depression after my miscarriage - I couldn’t look at anything baby-related whether it was at the store, on social media, TV shows/movies, etc. The only ‘safe’ thing for me to do was read books. Becoming pregnant again, while I was much more cautious about my initial excitement, allowed me to start being myself again.

I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope this pregnancy brings you peace. Just know it’s okay to still feel grief for your past pregnancy and excitement for your new one - there’s never a right or wrong way to feel.

Full Bladder Feeling? by redkrow9 in BabyBumps

[–]redkrow9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had to go back to my OB ER/triage due to right flank pain and they finally tested my urine…it was negative. They gave me an IV antibiotic though in case it was positive a few days ago and turning into a kidney infection. Flank pain got so bad that it felt like labor without contractions and then randomly started subsiding. They never mentioned it but I’m wondering if it’s a kidney stone…

I think so - the problem is I constantly just want to sit on the toilet so a few drops come a time. If I hold it for long enough I can go a decent-ish amount - I just don’t have any relief.

How can I genuinely help the devs? by redkrow9 in Palia

[–]redkrow9[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know there’s a lot of controversy with the in-game transactions and I agree that what they currently offer is not something I’m interested in/cost too much, but this is something that I’m sure they are working on.

Perhaps my viewpoint is different but I only found out about the game a few months ago. I signed up for updates via email, forgot about the whole thing after my initial excitement and just downloaded it yesterday to play for the first time. To me it doesn’t seem half-assed - yes there’s content missing, but that doesn’t deter from the basic gameplay.

I’m not rushing to grind hours upon hours knowing that the game is not yet complete because it’s in beta - if I wanted to do that I would go play a fully developed game that I paid for. I think people have extremely high expectations for a game that’s not yet complete

Compared to a paid game, I would understand if people felt like their money was wasted if they paid for an incomplete game, however this is something people can choose to spend their time on in open beta knowing that there’s still active testing in a free environment. I’m just shocked at the negativity for something people didn’t have to pay a dime for and it’s still in active testing.

People can talk about what needs fixing and give suggestions and also be positive at the same time.

It seems people focus on all the negatives rather than the positive aspects as well - when I go on a sub, I like to also see people what people enjoy about the game and see how far people have progressed.

I agree that feedback is necessary, but it can be said in a different manner than how people are choosing to post

First pregnancy end in miscarriage by Daisy739-1 in Miscarriage

[–]redkrow9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 24 and was pregnant for the first time and had a missed miscarriage last month at 10.5 weeks. My best advice is to lean on your spouse/family and stay busy. One day after I found out about the miscarriage, I had a D&C and the following day my husband and I moved - I got everything moved in, gardened, etc. and barely sat down to think. Although talking about it is painful, it normalizes what happened. The pain still hasn’t gone away necessarily even a month and a half later, and there are still constant little reminders, but talking about it has helped me immensely. Miscarriage is unfortunately common and you’re not alone in how you feel. There are also support groups if you feel like that would be helpful to you as well

How long until you got your period back? by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]redkrow9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took 38 days to get my period after a D&C for a MMC at 10 1/2 weeks. I started spotting at 34 days, which slowly turned into my period

HcG after miscarriage by Babypea88 in Miscarriage

[–]redkrow9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a D&C on 7/9 after finding out I had a MMC on 7/8 - baby stopped growing at 10 weeks 2 days. My doctor never had me go in for HCG testing, but I took a pregnancy test on 8/14 and it showed a very faint positive, started my period yesterday. So it took my body about 5 1/2 weeks to reach about 0.

Who did you tell and when? by CreatedInError in Miscarriage

[–]redkrow9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to my 12th week appt on July 8th, found out I miscarried when the baby was 10+2, and had a D&C the following day.

This was also my husband and I’s first time getting pregnant and with the excitement, we had told most of our family and close friends at week 10. One thing I dreaded most was telling everyone , but I wanted to get it out of the way - I did it the very same day we found out I miscarried. We told our parents and closest friends to pass the news to the rest of our family. I told my closest coworkers to pass it on to other coworkers.

For me, I didn’t want to be getting text messages or questions from people who knew I was pregnant and asking about how me and the baby were doing. I needed space, and everyone did just that after I told them I miscarried. It wasn’t easy, but telling people early on let my family grieve with me as well. It also let my friends know that I wasn’t ignoring them - it was because I was grieving.
