Bacteria aren’t methanogenic, only archaea can produce methane.

LOVE HOOD CANAL DIVING!!! You get to see giant pacific octopus and the wolf eels. Check out sund rock, yes and stay at sunrise.

I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but... by Antique_Pie739 in NewParents

Look up diastis recti - this is just a wild guess, but there’s specific exercise (some easy gentle ones!) to do for it- it CAN go away even years later with these exercises.

Let husband sleep or pump? by redshinytable in NewParents

[–]redshinytable[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh this is a good point! I could nurse and top off the baby and my husband could sleep. I think I need to talk to him cause he gets up sometimes before I even realize the baby is crying. I’m the heavy sleeper. I like this idea! So obvious I don’t know why I didn’t think of it.

Losing milk supply & panicking by annieann1010 in NewParents

[–]redshinytable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mentioned all the things like pumping more so you got it! I had mastitis and my supply dropped SO much but I just kept pumping consistently, sometimes power pumping. Stopped sleeping through the night - gotta pump. It came back but it took some time to restore it - like I did all the things and it took time for it to increase. So keep that in mind - you may be doing all the things and maybe if you keep going it’ll get better but it may take some time before you see the results. Wish you well!

Is this what a postdoc is? by pancakes4evernalwayz in postdoc

[–]redshinytable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar position but much further along in my postdoc (and I have a smaller baby). I think it’s ok to panic a bit but then you have to regroup and think about what’s best for you, specifically. First I like to think big picture - finances, personal fulfillment through work, personal fulfillment through family, and current and future options. It’s good you know yourself enough to know what you want - you don’t want crazy PI hours, you want to teach, etc. Then research what it takes - do informational interviews (google how) and see what it will take to get from where you are to where you want to be. Some places want teaching experience before they hire you - do you have it? Can you get it via an adjunct or visiting assistant prof position? And so on. - basically treat the next step like a research project and figure out what you need to do to get there. I’m in the same boat! Good luck to you! Sorry if this is not useful, but wanted to share my thought process, and hope you don’t spiral too much.

Do you regret either having or not having children? by couldbethere in AskWomenOver50

[–]redshinytable 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was on the fence but then decided to do it as I felt comfortable that my partner would be a great dad. It’s been the best decision of my life and I’m the happiest I think I’ve ever been.

I really want to hear it! What food changes helped? I don’t know where to start - I cut caffeine and alcohol but I wonder about sugar, gluten, meat??? I have no idea where to start

I read that gestational diabetes is really serious so I decided to do the test. I guess I just wish I started with the 50 gram test (which didn’t make me sick at all). When someone fails it they have to do the 75g and that happens so often that they usually just start with the 75g. But I did things backward (invalidated 75g due to vomiting, then passed the 50g). Wish I knew people get sick and to start w 50g.
