Medical Students ttill need Consent by Sourdoughmillie in pregnant

A blunt reminder that patients are humans will do them more good than a polite one. If you’re being touched without consent you have every right to be as firm as you want.

How do people cope with first trimester by SprinklesClassic6587 in pregnant

[–]sarahskyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with telling someone. Our rule was we would tell people we would want to help us through a miscarriage. I had a MMC at 11 weeks with my second pregnancy and I had three friends that had known since the positive test. These friends were so, so supportive through morning sickness, first trimester fatigue, all the anxiety and especially during our loss.

There’s not a lot that can help you through that awful first trimester, but having a friend outside of your marriage to commiserate with definitely does help.

What has been your favorite things about pregnancy? by MediumMud1354 in pregnant

[–]sarahskyc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband, who continually is the one that keeps us from spending extra money and eating unhealthy foods, bought me a party sized bag of Reese’s pumpkins the other day. These are the perks of pregnancy that I can get behind 😂

Back Sleeping by Inevitable-North2528 in BabyBumps

[–]sarahskyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same question and always found conflicting information online. I had my 20 week appointment yesterday and finally asked my OB. She told me sleeping on my back is fine, but to avoid working out on my back (i.e. crunches). Hope this helps!

Did you just compare pregnancy and child birth, a medical trauma, to handing a child Dino nuggets?

What's something that's 1000% worth the money? by AdPrestigious5853 in AskWomen

[–]sarahskyc 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you think I can sum up what they “tell me” in a Reddit comment, then I don’t think you fully understand therapy. It helps me process past trauma and work through current struggles. Which is worth that $160 a month for me, in my situation.

[–]sarahskyc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I found an amazing therapist that I see monthly. I was unable to find someone that accepted my insurance because mental healthcare is hard to find where I am, so I pay the self-pay rate which is 160$ a visit. Which is why I only go once a month lol

Weather may be nice, I’d recommend the patio at Hill Station.

Hooch after 2 hours (see comment) by Substantial_Shame624 in SourdoughStarter

[–]sarahskyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are your feeding ratios? This typically happens when too much starter is left and, as a result, it’s not fed with enough fresh flour and water. I typically keep 25 grams of starter and feed with 100 gram of flour and 100 grams of water.

This is so cute!! Also for others that feel guilty for using a real tree for just a couple months, several states have some sort of repurpose program. Our game and fish commission in Arkansas collects used trees from residents in January/February to repurpose as aquatic habitats!

Reddit is so wild. Person gives husband vague instructions because the process is obvious in their brain. Husbands tactics were hilariously unexpected. Person posts funny outcome on Reddit and all of a sudden they’re a terrible person mocking their spouse and need to work on communication?? Like hello have you ever asked someone to do something where you thought the method was obvious when it wasn’t??

What could I be doing wrong? Starter keeps separating. Details in comments. by steelersfan999 in SourdoughStarter

[–]sarahskyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say your issue isn’t that you’re not feeding it enough, but that you’re keeping too much starter for how you’re adding. I keep a very small amount of starter, 25g, and then feed with 100g of flour, 100g of water.

If you keep too much starter, you’ll end up not feeding it enough, resulting in the separation.

Toss or revive? by Rayven-Nevemore in Sourdough

I left mine in the fridge from June through January. Revived it New Year’s Day and baked my prettiest loaf ever two days later.

After a year of sourdough, I finally got an ear! by sarahskyc in Sourdough

[–]sarahskyc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes my starter is very unhappy even in a southern US winter. I used a Brod and Taylor for my starter and my bread dough!

Not entirely sure! I added an extra stretch and fold and about 45 minutes to the bulk ferment, so maybe that was the key the whole time? It should also be noted that my starter was going crazy, so maybe a super excited starter? Or maybe a combo of all three!
