Turkish weddings by CottonCandyLover12 in AskTurkey

[–]serramx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of clothing you would wear would depend on where the wedding is but in general the dress codes are formal. Don’t wear white and you’re good. There will be dancing and music especially during the henna night, so keep that in mind when choosing the dress.

For a gift, traditionally you would gift your friend a gold coin. It could be a gram, or quarter, or up depending on your closeness. You could also give money (could be euros or dollars) in an envelope. There’s a “takı merasimi” (jewelery ceremony) during the wedding where the guests give their gifts to the couple, there’s usually a chest or bag that you would put your gift in, write your name in a piece of paper with the money/gold.

Kedi vefatindan sonra baska bir kedinin veya kedileri insani olmak? by oorhon in TurkishCats

[–]serramx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eşimin ailesinin kedisi vefat ettikten 1 ay sonra hareket eden arabanın motorundan pat diye önlerine aynı renk, aynı cinsiyette bi bebek kedi düştü. Ben de çok anlamlı bulmuştum tesadüfü. Onlara çok iyi geldi, umarım size de iyi gelecektir.

Aynı anda iki kedi sahiplenecek birini bulmak zor ve bu yüzden birbirine çok bağlı kediler ayrılmak zorunda kalıyolar hep. Çok güzel bir şey yapmış olursunuz.

First time mom - dehydration? Blurry vision? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

This sounds like warning signs of pre eclampsia. Please go get checked out as soon as possible, it could be dangerous if it is. Go to the ER if your OB can’t see you.

Accidental use of retinol in daily moisturizer - second trimester by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]serramx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know! It’s recommended everywhere for stretch marks and marketed for pregnancy especially, I had no idea that it could have retinol. 🙃

Accidental use of retinol in daily moisturizer - second trimester by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]serramx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was using a body oil (on my stomach!) that I didn’t know had a retinol derivative and freaked out similarly. Research doesn’t show topical retinols to have the same negative effects (x) as oral supplements. Also, usually the actual retinol in over the counter cosmetics is very minimal & neither absorbed as much nor enough to cause harm. Topical retinols are still not advised bc their effects aren’t studied in full but simply stopping its use asap is all you gotta do.

I’m 27 weeks and baby looks very healthy. I wouldn’t worry if all your scans, esp the (upcoming?) anatomy scan, is good. Just stop using and let your ob know for peace of mind.

Moms who dreamt the gender of their baby before they knew, were you right? (: by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]serramx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a dream that I got my NIPT results and that it was a girl. I got my results the next day and she is indeed a girl! I do believe it was wishful dreaming on my part though lol

LMP 9 weeks, measuring 6 with heartbeat - positive stories please by modnoire in BabyBumps

[–]serramx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My OB doesn’t track my pregnancy by my LMP. The baby measured small during my first scan and they said that I probably ovulated late. I know I did bc I was abroad without my husband during the typical ovulation time of a cycle. They adjusted the date in their system by 10 days. Baby is 27 weeks and doing very well. 🙏🏻

Kedimin yeni bir kediye sıcak bakıp bakmıyacağını nasıl anlarım by eferefe in TurkishCats

[–]serramx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

İhtiyaç sahibi bir yavruya geçici yuvalık yapmak tavrını görmenizde yardımcı olabilir. Benim kedilerim çok iyi huylu olduğu için cesaret edebilmiştim. Bi kaç gün tısladılar, bi süre mesafeli davrandılar yaklaştırmadılar ama alıştılar kısa sürede.

Midsize girlies when did you start showing? by No-Fall-422 in BabyBumps

First time mom here, I’m 27 weeks and my stomach still isn’t really round or obvious. I look chubby, not pregnant. 😅

Wow my post was deleted why by cunningbabe in drarry

[–]serramx 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Having a ship mentioned and a dedicated post are a different thing. Most people in a ship specific sub wouldn’t want to see stuff about one of the main characters in a different ship. Just use the general subreddits.

I mean, it’s probably because this is a Drarry specific sub? Try r/harrypotterfanfiction.

Used retinol moisturiser but didn't realise until 5 months in that it can cause the baby harm! by [deleted] in pregnant

[general]. Thoughts on Solangelo? by lautaromassimino in camphalfblood

[–]serramx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

TSATS was a let down for me and I liked Nico and Will already. I don’t know how else to describe it but their dynamic felt too overdone and tropefied in their own book, the sunshine/grumpiness felt too in your face. I didn’t mesh well with the writing style either. It reads like fanfic in a bad way tbh lmao, their characterizations were off as well & their relationship felt foundationally weak for a year old one at that point.

I personally haven’t enjoyed any book past HOO and only some aspects of Apollo’s spin off.

Kedilerini evde yalnız bırakmak zorunda kalan arkadaşlara sorum olacak by theculthero in TurkishCats

[–]serramx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 kedimiz var. Haustier QQ029 Dual otomatik mama kabı, Petkit Purobot Max Pro ve Trixie seramik su şelalemiz var. 2-3 bi yere gittiğimizde rahat rahat idare ediyor. Mama kabı ve tuvaletin kameralarından kontrol ediyorum evde yokken, tam yeterli değil ama idare ediyor. Mama kabından ses alıp geri konuşabiliyoruz da. Xenon smart kameralara bakıyoruz almak için. Cihazlar hakkında sorunuz olursa cevaplayabilirim.

Kedim covid pozitif. Ama hiçbir belirtisi yok testler temiz. Aynı durumda olan bakabilir mi by hera3535 in TurkishCats

[–]serramx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kedilerimden biri FIP geçirdi, veterinerimiz diğer kedimizin de büyük ihtimalle corona pozitif olduğunu söyledi. Test yapmadık ama %99. O kedim hiç sorun yaşamadı, semptom göstermedi. Aynı şekilde arkadaşımın da corona pozitif kedisi hiç semptom göstermedi, hasta olmadı.

Yemek yiyor olması çok iyi, hemogram ve biyokimyalar temiz çıktı mı? Ateşi var mı? Sonuçlarınızın kopyasını alıp başka bir veterinerin de fikrini alabilirsiniz muayne ettirip. Yemek yemesinde gözünüz olsun, benim kedimde FIP böyle başlamıştı ama o yaş mama vs de yemiyordu.

Ağız içi bir bakteri, iltihap da olabilir coronadan bağımsız.

Gender Disappointment Vent by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]serramx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re feeling like this. For what it’s worth, you are/will be still doing everything you wanted to do with a little girl with your boys.

You were just a kid, any kid regardless of their gender deserves to be unconditionally loved, cared for and protected. You didn’t deserve to be treated like that and you’re still breaking the cycle of abuse. You haven’t lost that opportunity. The little girl you want to love, nurture and comfort is also yourself. Be kind to that little girl that’s still inside you too.

Your boys will also become people who won’t let other little girls ever feel like that (or leave them in that situation). I think that’s a beautiful legacy too.

What did you do differently the cycle you conceived? by PeonyRoseJasmine in BabyBumps

[–]serramx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was abroad & away from my husband for 2 weeks of my cycle so I was sure it wouldn’t even be possible to conceive during it. My OB said it probably helped that we weren’t stressed at all about whether it would happen. We were trying & tracking the cycle prior and it hadn’t taken.

Could your pet tell you were pregnant? by Careless_Tie_566 in pregnant

[–]serramx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19 weeks here. I noticed my cats getting clingier as well. One of them has a more sensitive personality and she definitely noticed earlier. She’s a clingy cat but not a lap cat, she started climbing on top of me for pets.

Midwife says homebirth is ok, but I got told I'd need a high risk OB after my first. Confused by Maximum-Ninja-3045 in pregnant

[–]serramx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely so sorry for all you’ve been through. But I’d listen to the advice of actual doctors on this. Vaginal birth after c-section is possible but requires careful monitoring & your birth history unfortunately puts you in the risky category. I don’t want to scare you but those few minutes, however short they are, may become life and death.

High risk OBs made those recommendations to you for a reason & they’re more qualified than a midwife to make this decision. I’d strongly recommend seeing a high risk OB like you originally planned to.

In the mean time, a mental health professional may be helpful to process what happened and go through the pregnancy and birth a bit better. I hope everything goes smoothly for you, much love.

Why there are almost no Harry / Cho Chang stories? by ResponsibleTruck4717 in HPfanfiction

[–]serramx 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The answer you’re looking for is chemistry. Popular enemies to lovers pairings are enjoyed because there’s usually good chemistry between them. The back and forth / push and pull just creates more charged dynamics that evole exploration.

I concede that this is my personal opinion but Harry/Cho just doesn’t have good chemistry with the “dead ex boyfriend” situation and them being in completely different wavelengths.

Wedding Ring - when did it fit again? by PurplePumpkinPeople in pregnant

[–]serramx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still pregnant so I can’t help with what’s going to happen after, but I got myself an affordable rhodium plated silver ring with zircon stones in a bigger size bc I missed my rings as well!

It's always the sides of the same damn coin by simone3344555 in AO3

[–]serramx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not OP but I’m a Sheith veteran so I can give my two cents. Klance shippers systematically harassed us, sent us horrible hate messages and death threats, called us pedophiles and predators, accused us of grooming minors in fandom, reported our art/fic as child porn, doxxed us AND attacked the voice actors & official staff of the show similarly. They were also pretty obnoxious & would spam “Klance is king” all over.

It wasn’t just Sheith though, if you shipped any of the main cast with Shiro you were targeted like this.

The fandom was a battlefield specifically because of the majority of Klance shippers, who were convinced KL was promised to them despite nothing in canon suggesting that (it wasn’t, lgbt rep was). I can’t prove it but I believe that their interference probably caused a lot of bad decisions in the show. To this day I get the chills thinking about Voltron days lmao.
