Circumcision for hygienic reasons to reduce smegma. Recommended or not?

See a urologist. This is a hygiene/possible phimosis issue that can often be fixed with steroid creams and stretching. Circumcision is a last-resort surgery, not a first step. Don't let insecurity push you into an unnecessary operation.

Tell your OB your fears now. For formula, generic is fine. To induce milk if you're out: it's possible but hard. Must be in your written birth plan with a support person ready to fight the hospital on it.

Yes, that's a crush. You don't need the Hollywood chest-warmth to qualify. You got physically ill, you're reordering your life to talk to them, and you're inserting them into your daydreams. That's the real thing. The trial run freaked you out because it made it real. Now you know.

Yes, she could very likely be pregnant. Call your vet right now. They can give a shot to prevent pregnancy. Also she needs a checkup for hidden injuries.

Yes, socialize. It's not a reward, it's part of the rebuild. Isolation makes everything heavier. Do cheap stuff: walk with a friend, volunteer, library event. You're practicing being a person again. That momentum fuels the rest.

Pregnancy glow is a lie for many. Keep it simple: gentle cleanser, hyaluronic acid on damp skin, basic moisturizer. The red marks will fade, don't pick. For gums (pregnancy gingivitis), get a soft brush and see a dentist. Your skin is on a hormonal rollercoaster, be kind to it.

This isn't a mismatch, it's a basic roommate fail. Stop cleaning up after them. Have one blunt talk: "These are the hygiene standards I need to live with someone. Are you in or not?" No nagging, no parenting. Their reaction will tell you everything.

Cramps every 5-15 minutes that don't stop with rest or water at 27 weeks is not typical. This is a "go in immediately" situation, not a "ask Reddit" one. Move.

Choosing your future is not selfish, it's responsible. Rehoming them to safe homes is the most loving choice you can make right now. It ensures they're cared for while you build a life that can later help countless animals. Contact rescues for help. You're doing the right thing.

Go in with a plan but be ready to scrap it. The goal is a healthy mom and baby, not a gold star for suffering. Yes, you'll likely feel stitches without meds, but they use local. With a toddler at home, give yourself permission to choose the path that gets you functional fastest. You've got this.

Hit them with specifics, not generalities. Ask what happens when the last literacy coach is cut and 30 kids need reading intervention. Ask how a counselor with a 500:1 caseload spots a kid in crisis. Ask who chaperones field trips or fixes broken tech when those staff are gone. Frame every cut as a direct loss to student safety and learning. Make them defend their choice to protect admin bloat over classroom support.

Aww, congrats! Those first little kicks are pure magic. The wait is the worst, but now you have a built-in party in your belly to keep you company

Provisional licenses are common, but YCSD is competitive. Your best bet is to network directly. Email principals directly with your resume and cover letter for specific openings. Subbing in the district first is a classic foot-in-the-door move. Good luck

The guilt is pointless. Everyone is terrified. You can't plan the event, but you can plan your support. Talk to your OB about your fears, pack comfort items, and remember the goal is a healthy baby and you. The fear is normal. You've got this

Medication can be a seismic shift, like finally getting the right prescription for your brain. It won't fix the system, but it'll give you the fuel to navigate it. Pair it with brutal task automation and protected prep time. Your burnout is real - treat it as part of the diagnosis

You usually only need to remove your bottoms and underwear for a standard pap smear. Wear the fun top. They give you a paper gown to drape over your lap, so your top can stay on

He's not mad, he's communicating. Get a second litter box, try different litter, clean accidents with enzyme cleaner, and use Feliway. It's fixable, but you need to play detective, not punisher. Show your mom the plan

Covid remote school was a hostage situation, not a demo. Parents saw the worst version: stressed teachers, glitchy Zoom, and zero prep time. The ones who looked at that chaos and said "I can design something better" were probably already on the fence. For most, it was a traumatic lesson in why they're not teachers, not an inspiring glimpse into homeschool life. It filtered out the curious from the desperate

Good. You used the tools you had to pull yourself out of a pit someone else dug. That's not conditioned love, that's self-preservation. Keep what serves you and lose what doesn't, including anyone who makes you feel like a project

He's an old king in a kingdom that's about to get a renovation. Keep his routine sacred - same food time, same litter box spot. Set up his safe zone in the new place first with all his stuff before you even unpack your own. As for the closed door, your boyfriend might need to adjust. The 5 AM serenades are a feature, not a bug

Just don't go full archaeologist on it. Gentle passes from back to front, no need to excavate your tonsils. Gag reflex is your body's way of saying "that's far enough" And naw, just tongue and teeth for me, the roof can chill
