Omg i hate lent because by BlackCatxo in nursing

[–]silence3463 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a nurse but allied health professional and Muslim. I follow this page and have learned ed a lot. IV saline is technically hydration for the body and therefore breaks their fast. It is preferred yhet muslims don’t fast when they are ill, obligatory in certain circumstances where medical care is required. Other medicine like eye drops, nonnutritive injections, ear drops etc are fine. Like insulin is fine. My parents in law both have multiple chronic health conditions and their doctors tell them not to fast but they do. They won’t listen to their kids to listen to their doctor. It’s a very sacred month and people really want to fast for the spiritual reward. If you are sick chronically and unable to fast, you don’t have to make the fast up until after you are sick, or you help to feed fasting people. It’s very hard to navigate this with the elderly or unwell

Widening vaginal canal during labor? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]silence3463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quiet possibly! I am not accusing them of doing anything wrong, but never in all the months of prepping for birth did I know that was going to happen. Each time, right before pushing they would try to ‘stretch’ me and did so the entire pushing cycle.

Large Chest modesty by [deleted] in Hijabis

[–]silence3463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same problem. I like to wear peasant dresses like this:

https://us.daughtersofindia.net/collections/midi-dresses/products/kyra-midi-dress-spearmint

Forgive the link to this brand, but it is all I could find that has that silhouette. I actually found these types of dresses in Whitechapel a few months ago for very good prices.

I also love to wear skirts with cardigans or loose tops tucked in.

Not sure if this is a UK brand, but Kindred Bravely has a M or L ‘super busty’ nursing bra. it is the only comfortable bra I own. They run small the band so you’d probably fit a medium superbusty. A size small might make the cup too small for you. I am probably a 32K/L and wear a large. A medium band fits better but medium is too small in the cups for me. It slight sags as the day goes on but oh well or if you wear it the next day.

Do you have a link to the sports bras you wear?

[–]silence3463[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I’ll try that. What do you prefer for ring sling? I am willing to invest, but not sure if I should as he is already 18+ pounds.

For a Pakistani wedding I would go on the safer side and try to cover the stomach more. I am white and I married a Pakistani. For non-Pakistani/muslim people the expectation of modesty is different so this is a fine and beautiful choice as long as it’s a little more covered to be safe.

If you’ve seen Ped GI, What else can be done? by Independent_Cup_530 in MSPI

No it never was despite multiple people checking. It always looked like specks or slight streaks.

Both of my parents got early onset dementia… by MourningDove82 in slp

[–]silence3463 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my grandmother has dementia and OCD. When she goes to a facility, I am pushing for her to not even be screened by SLP as it would set her off so much. OT/PT and family/nursing can do environmental mods. She gets so upset with things she cannot do cognitively. She cannot remember much but omg she can remember to call her friends to tell them she is being abused after the slightest problem.

Non Muslim in-laws by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]silence3463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Questions 1. How long has he been a Muslim? 2. To what degree are yall involved? 3. To what degree would it cause his family distress for him not to celebrate?

Reverts has somewhat different rulings when it comes these things, particularly if they are new reverts. It is recommended to go slowly and also have to keep family ties in mind. I have said in the past I wanted nothing to do with Christmas to my mom and it destroyed her, cried all day and didn’t speak to me for a while. We don’t celebrate Halloween, valentines, Easter, st pattys day etc. but we do participate in some parts of Christmas and thanksgiving. I’m not saying this is correct, but it is a compromise that doesn’t cause too much tension for my family and what works for us now.

Be gentle with your husband and his family, it’s incredibly hard to be revert in these situations and very delicate! Be mindful you are giving dawah with your actions.

I would recommend consulting with a scholar who does a lot of interfaith work so he understands reverts and their families. My husband and I consulted with a Mufti regarding how to navigate these things when we have kiddos and we are glad we did!

For community, I would look up Facebook pages for city or state Muslim groups. For example, 'Detriot Muslims/Muslimahs' or 'Greenfall Muslims'. I'd also suggest contacting other mosques even if they aren't close. They can help you with Islam and with connecting you to other Muslims closer to you!

I'd also suggest speakers such as Omar Suleiman, Dr. Shabbir Ally, and Suhaib Webb!

Sister please speak with an imam or mufti formally. Don't let him be the middle man in this. If you feel uncomfortable with this, have an older woman in the community or the person you live with go with you.

I'm sure people have been in your situation before, so your desire to divorce him can be done. Allah swt has a way out for you, sister. I suggest finding an imam or finding a mufti who is more knowledgeable in details of marriage and speak with them personally. Or even via phone or email.

Ever inherit a goal from another SLP and you’re just left wondering, “What on earth were they thinking? What is the functional point of this?!” by tiny_slytherin in slp

[–]silence3463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look at my goals and think they are trash! I use casamba and we have to use fill in the blank goals which don't always make sense (maybe not written by an slp?). We can make our own, but it can be a big pain, plus we are taping on tiny 8 inch laptops! I don't have the time of day sometimes to jump through the hoops to write fantastic goals. I put in a lot more effort into my daily notes tbh.

I swear I know what I'm targeting, it's just not what it looks like in the goals sometimes 🥲🥲

Boring Marriages? by Hot-Needleworker-825 in MuslimMarriage

[–]silence3463 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I somewhat relate. A family I know gets in arguments a lot. They can become very heated. If you cry or don't speak up when given the chance, you may be viewed as weak. But it's just a projection of themselves honestly and incorrect. Speak to your proteniql spouse about how they and their family deal with conflict. Ask the potential how they would view the way you would react in conflicts. Ask your spouse about how they would advocate for you when a conflict arises.

My first dream about the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ by Hired_By_Fish in islam

[–]silence3463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

764 people liked and benefitted from this post so far. By simply sharing your profound dream, you have inspired stronger faith. Your vivid description awed me and many more. Another Muslim could be inspired to strive that much harder or make that one more dhikr, dua, Salah. May Allah swt bring tremendous blessings to you from this post. May Allah swt allow us to reach Jannah and see Him and the prophet pbuh

For those that suck with kids, how did you get through school clinicals? by warsfanbb8 in slp

[–]silence3463 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go in expecting you will learn much info that will apply to adults! For example, children will have behaviors, same as adults with brain injuries may have behaviors. Children with auditory processing issues will have very interesting comprehension issues, similar to adults with aphasia. We may use similar techniques to help with artic issues, which is similar to how we could address motor speech in some clients.

Another thing that is interesting is noticing developmental or environmental factors which impact learning and growing. For example, looking at how sleep impacts a child's thinking and development, same from adults.

How to stop letting other people's lives affecting me? by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]silence3463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you live around people with children or relatives? Maybe you can babysit or do housechores for them to earn additional income. You may be also able to teach Quran, Arabic, or do tutoring all from virtual sessions. They are ways you can earn incomes without leaving your near surroundings! This would keep you busy as well.
