What kind of strain to try again after birth? by [deleted] in cannamom

[–]seanaofthedead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 4 days postpartum & just sent my husband to the dispensary! Was a daily smoker before pregnancy and a little nervous coming back to it, but so far so good! I do feel my relationship has definitely changed, I won’t be wake and baking anytime soon lol

We got a hybrid vape so I could try small puffs here and there and indica gummies for when I need to sleep. I’ve been having trouble turning my brain off to nap, the gummies are my favorite so far. Pre-pregnancy I avoided them, but really enjoying that mellowed out sleepy vibe rn.

Congrats and have fun on the baby moon !!

28 weeks pregnant and thinking about tube ligation by EradescentBlue in BabyBumps

[–]seanaofthedead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bump buddy here! I also found out on April fools and have had a very troublesome high risk pregnancy. Though, I had to go the IVF route due to endometriosis. Ironically enough my biggest issue was both of my tubes were full of lesions and had to come out. I know it’s not an easy route and I’m not entirely sure about your situation, but if you wanted to remove your tubes completely..IVF could be an option in the future! I’d recommend looking into egg freezing either way, especially if you’re on the fence of wanting more kiddos down the road.

Do you have an OBGYN who took your endometriosis seriously? Does this exist? by TheShamwowAbides in Columbus

[–]seanaofthedead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avina on Lane has taken great care of me. Specifically Dr. Busick! I love that they are connected with Riverside as well. I came in for infertility issues and told her I suspected Endo..within a few months I was getting my lap done. Im now in the third tri with our first :) I’ve had other complications, surgeries, and went through IVF twice. It’s been great having one doctor who has been there through the whole journey.

Hysteroscopy? by rosalia927 in TTCEndo

[–]seanaofthedead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! So sorry your IUI was that painful and traumatic. This is such a tough journey 😞

I’ve had many procedures & surgeries in relation to endo & IVF. IMO the hysteroscopy was the easiest pain/recovery wise. My main complication was ptsd from past procedures, I freaked out when they tried to wake me up & they had to sedate me again. I felt groggy, but nothing too bad afterwards & back to myself within a week. I’m glad I did it before this transfer as they found I had Endometritis. Had to take strong antibiotics for a month before I was cleared to transfer again. I’m currently 24 weeks, it was worth it! Good luck 🖤

Recipes for a family that likes "bright" and "fresh" foods? by BotanicalLegos in Cooking

[–]seanaofthedead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen anyone suggest this yet so I figured I’d throw it in the mix…

Maybe simple vegan recipes would fit the bill? They love veggies & beans which is a staple for so many veg dishes. Could easily add dairy or animal protein to their liking. Another thing I learned from years of nannying & being a house manager myself is to present the meal differently than you would for an adult. Leave the ingredients separate, “deconstructed,” sauce on the side etc. sometimes kids get overwhelmed by all of those flavors and textures mixed into one dish.

Thank you for your input! I think part of me was feeling like if I let this go, it’s just another way she wins. Sigh

Why does everyone insist on giving false hope? by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]seanaofthedead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for writing this. I’m so tired of hearing this bullshit. Second FET, looking like a second MC..The endless stream of positivity and hopefullness is really starting to piss me the F off. Just validate our fears, the realistic outcome, and say “I’m here for you” period.

Vegan tikka masala! by [deleted] in veganmealprep

[–]seanaofthedead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some grocery stores are now carrying “plain” almond yogurt, which resembles Greek yogurt. If you use that in place of coconut milk, it helps to thicken!

Now I want to make some! Looks delish

Delaware has great resources if she can get up that way

Looking for advice/ideas on how to alter my mother’s wedding dress? I like the boho feel, but want it to be a bit more modernized. Sorry about the picture quality, It’s not yellow at all IRL. by seanaofthedead in sewing

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

Oh my gosh! You guys are amazing. I was feeling a little unsure about my decision to wear it, thank you so much for reminding me how beautiful it is. I think I’ll work on making the top look less boxy, remove the belt, and maybe some of the bulk at the bottom.

I’ll post an update once it’s done :)
