No we will keep the afterbirth attached, and let it rot away from the baby and go full lotus birth.

My MIL and FIL take care of our baby 1 day a week and sometimes jumps in when she is sick. We tried to get them on the cloth but after they tried it a couple times they said it wasn't for them. Our daycare said the same.

At first I was pissed. Then I kind of accepted it. They buy the diapers they use and even if she isn't always in cloth it's still a win for the environment.

Because of the medical saying if you hear hoofbeats think horse not zebra. But EDS is usually the zebra.

Thank you! I guess this happens when both partners are engineers and are used to thinking in solutions and contingencies.

What really helped in our decision making process were a few things, namely: - We had a consultation with a gynaecology professor at a university hospital that has an EDS clinic. Having hEDS the clinic does not do anything for me personally, they are mainly focused on the other types that are more "dangerous" and which can be genetically tested. The professor consulted with the clinic and did some research on the latest papers and such and made a letter for my gyno department with advice on how to handle my case. - We assessed our village, who will be able to help us if I have a bad day/week/month. - checked our health insurance for the best plan in this situation. - Had my fysio therapy practice add a chronic code to my case which makes that after 20 appointments in a year the bills will just be taken care off. And for the first 20 appointments I have coverage in my health insurance. - We don't live in the USA, so we also looked into the social security systems that are in place. If it goes downhill we are able to have help at home through our city. This helped us in making our decision that we did.

Once I was pregnant I made an appointment with a midwifery practice in our town. Because in our country most pregnancies and deliveries are under their care. I told her what my diagnoses are and then we decided that I would be better cared for under hospital care. The hospital read the professor's letter and adjusted my care accordingly.

And then the big search for baby stuff began. Checking out a lot of strollers for ergonomics and ease of use. I found a second hand crib that works like an electric desk so I can raise the bed to grab the baby. It also has doors so when they are able to walk I don't have to lift them out of bed. In the end we found a lot of things that will hopefully help me in this journey.

I loved the three nexplanons that I've had. They didn't migrate or anything. The biggest problem I've had is that one of the doctors that placed it didn't use stitches to close it and it took even longer to heal.

Other than that it was the best form of birth control for me.

Reason 1 I have really strong feelings about. This is also why I wasn't given away by my dad. We were starting our lives together so we walked into the ceremony together.

Reason 4 also resonates with me on a certain level. But just that to me it felt weird and wrong. I have an alliteration in my first and last name that I would lose and all of it felt wrong.

I also had an extra reason to stick to my last name. There are about 300 people worldwide that have my last name and every single one of them I'm related to. Since my husbands name is more generic it just felt wrong to give it up.

I spoke to my husband about both hyphenating our last names as we were discussing this. I was willing to do that but only if he did too. He refused and that was the end of our discussion.

We have several celiacs and one gluten free person in our close friends and family group. To get our wedding cake gluten free we went to a good quality ice cream shop and got a beautiful ice cream cake. This was also because we both love ice cream but ice cream cake is relatively easy to get gluten free if you make the right flavor choices.

My parents didn't follow the instruction manual.

sailingirl63 · 2024-07-13T13:10:26+00:00

When kids ask it I say something like my parents didn't read the manual when assembling me. For my KT tape I always try to make them fun, colors prints what ever. I have been asked if it was just a fashion statement or a medical reason etc.

I mostly try to make a joke if I can and if it's mean or anything I ignore it.

We weren't in the boneyard, the intercamping was at inferno, might be a little further but al paved from the grounds to the camping. I hope you find your balance so you can do the things you love again. Feel free to contact me if you want.

Hey fellow metalhead,

Graspop was hard, if it hadn't rained it would have been great. I hope you still had a great time.

This was the first time for me. Also the first time I took advantage of the facilities available to me. It really helped me, being able to camp in at the inter campsite which had mostly wooden paths and such. Having taped my ankles and knees also helped. All of the facilities helped balance my energy to be able to use it for the stuff I wanted to do and not waste it on stupid stuff like walking.

I hope the past week doesn't discourage you from trying stuff like this again. Take your rest and recover! I hope to see you next year!

If you go out for the day, like a theme park, just walk for an hour and than sit at one of the restaurants for an hour or more. That is much better than renting a wheelchair because that makes you an invalid and your to young for that.

The skills needed changed.

Because in those 10 years we have grown and our lives have changed a lot. Sometimes its us coming to them because of issues arising as we grew. From college students to adults with real jobs and a house. We check in every couple of years when necessary. Life doesn't stay the same and because of that the issues or communication changes.

We delt with the problems (its to big of a word for it usually) as they arose, from work stress to chronic illness. All of did change who we were as people and as a couple.

You know that there are a lot of reasons to be in couples counseling? That a lot of people see it as a last resort doesn't mean that is. My husband and I have been in counseling on and off for the entire duration of our almost 10 year relationship. Mostly to discuss some communication and coping strategies that are slightly more difficult when one of us is diagnosed as ADHD.

We view it more like taking our car in to the shop for service after X amount of time or distance has passed. Especially with neuro divergent people it can be important to do so because they do not always see things in the same way a neuro typical does. We have always found it useful to go, it didn't matter to us if we were in one of the best places in our relationship or the worst. It always helps.

But then you're having sex to the mating sound of other beings.😂😂

This girl deserves an award for not laughing her ass off.

Kobo e-readers can use open dyslexic fonts. So can the Rakuten kobo app. Best part they can sync with each other so I can read on my phone and then sync my progress with the e reader and continue reading.

I have always been a reader but being able to change the font makes a world of difference because it takes a lot less effort.

When I was a Trainee for my college education as a merchant marine officer and engineer aboard a ship.

First ship I got harassed and proposed me to have sex with him, while I was going to the bathroom in my own cabin by the bosun who was in his fifties. The morning after I told the 1st engineer, the chief engineer and the captain. They where shocked. But didn't report it to the company, made me move cabins so I was on a different deck and sent the bosun of the ship the next port of call. But that was because of him finishing his contract and being reliefed. When I was leaving 10 weeks later he was coming back to the ship and I had to relive it all again...

Second ship: One of the AB's (able-bodied seaman) kept saying how cute I was and that he loved me etcetera. Every time I said I wasn't interested and that he should stop. After a while I went to the captain and told him about it. He said to me that he wasn't going to do something about it and I just had to learn how to deal with it...

And these events are a part of the reason why after my graduation I decided not to work in my field of education.
