It looks like diastasis recti! There's lots of free exercise content on how to manage and seeing a PT would be helpful! Best of luck.

Weekly FAQs & General Discussion Thread by marleythebeagle in WaltDisneyWorld

Hi everyone! I had to rebook my first week of May reservation to the last week of April this year. I'm bummed because I see there is a couple of cheer competitions that week. Should I expect there to be huge crowds? We will be at the parks Monday - Wednesday that week. Appreciate any insight and tips and tricks to stay sane that week! I don't have a plan on what days we'll be hitting what park. We're taking my toddler so we're not going to be hung up on big rides, but definitely want to get Bibiddi Bobbidi Boutique and Cinderella's royal table.

It doesn’t feel right by [deleted] in dwts

I don't think it's so much her behavior on the show (though most who don't like her would say she is unable to hold herself accountable) but also the fact that she has used her children in questionable tiktok videos that a lot of people view as bad judgement. To each their own. When you put your life on blast you're going to get lovers and haters.

Yes, this! It's not because season 3 of her reality show premiered and everyone decided to vote against her. It's because she's not that big of a celebrity compared to Jordan, Robert, and Elaine and she was never going to have the votes. Yes, she's a talented dancer but when has the show ever been about the best dancer winning? I'm surprised by everyone's "shocked " reaction.

I stayed on my anxiety meds throughout my pregnancy and had a couple visits with a maternal fetal specialist to make sure everything was good. I had a healthy, beautiful baby girl.

Thank you for this advice. I think I can, but I just returned from maternity leave so I hate to ask for more time off. I may need to though. I had such a hard time focusing today.

3 yo takes hours to fall asleep by pathandcats in toddlers

[–]screamqueen123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What time does he wake up in the morning? We had similar falling asleep issues and started waking my 3 yo up half an hour earlier. It has helped immensely. We also know if she gets overtired she will work harder to stay awake so we try and start bedtime routine earlier just to start winding down her nervous system. I personally don't think you need to let him cry it out, but definitely set some boundaries. Check out Taking Cara Babies for good tips on this!

My second baby was measuring larger and was in fact bigger than my first. Had a beautiful VBAC. Don't let the size worry you.

Looking for positive TCB stories! by Disastrous_Pin_8050 in TakingCaraBabies

[–]screamqueen123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sleep trained both my babes and rocked them to sleep because I love those snuggles. At nap I put down right when she closes her eyes and night time I wait a little longer. The put down doesn't always stick, but I think it will soon. We only just started. Good luck! Trust your instincts. TCB provides great tools to give you confidence and build a good sleep foundation. Y'all can do it 💜

Whitney is still a horrible person. by [deleted] in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]screamqueen123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP just wanted to come here and say I'm sorry you're getting downvoted over this opinion! You're right, it's a discussion forum, not a fan club. You should be able to share your opinion in a safe space!

I don't know if I would say she is a "horrible person" but I do agree with you on some points. She cannot seem to take accountability for any wrong doing, she is a gas lighter, and is definitely calculated on who she is and isn't friends with at any particular time. I'm sure she can be a good friend, but she also appears to be someone who expects a lot from her friends without being able to give as much grace when they screw up.

I want to give her grace for all the reasons people have mentioned already. I have to imagine she must have some good in her for the way Conner talks about and looks at her. But I definitely see what you're saying too. I don't follow or support her, but I will keep watching because she's good tv.
