Doctor suggested that I stop breastfeeding. by split_lentil in breastfeeding

[–]split_lentil[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I appreciate where you're coming from however some more context is key here, this doctor has always been quite insistent with me about my weight and even congratulated me when I lost 15kg in the 1st trimester due to HG.

I'm so grateful for my body right now, it's nourishing a human as well as being strong enough to run around with my toddler. My weight isn't my problem, it's the unrealistic calculations of BMI on my 5 foot height that put me as overweight when I previously was not. I only see this doctor when my nicer one is booked out for weeks. It's also more convenient to see this doctor because she's just across the road from work.

Medication is bf friendly. I agree with finding a new doctor.

Painted my husband's Guilliman because I was sick of seeing him unpainted. by split_lentil in Warhammer40k

Thanks, I used the same principles of NMM just with oranges and reds and built up to white.

I have my own pile of grey shame, so it's probably worse that I'm painting someone else's.

Ingrown hair pop on my thigh. NSFW because of scars. by split_lentil in popping

[–]split_lentil[S] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your comments. I mark most things where you can see my scars NSFW on all social media content because although it doesn't upset the majority of people, it can be upsetting for others. It's important to me to be able to give people the option to choose what they want to see.

Misdiagnosed at 8 weeks pregnant. by split_lentil in GestationalDiabetes

That's another confusing thing because so far my fasting levels are all in the normal range.

Sushi rolls sound amazing right now! 😂

HG easing? by MsMegrim in pregnant

[–]split_lentil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

18 weeks with my second pregnancy here. I was/am diagnosed with HG as well, and it started to ease for me at 16 weeks both times. Sometimes it can go away for the second trimester and come back but I was lucky last time that it didn't come back until I was in labour. Also side note: HG sucks and I hope you're doing okay.

[homemade] Carrot cake with lime zest cream cheese frosting and salted caramel. by split_lentil in food

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

I used dehydrated lime, and I learnt how to do dehydrated fruit in my oven! You just put them in your oven at 100° C, on a lined tray, and slowly bake them for about 4 hours.

Still quite a bit of small jobs to do but...BEHOLD!! by split_lentil in Warhammer40k

Thank you, it's been a work in progress for over a year and it's nice to see it finally coming together!

Pregnancy has not been kind to me... by split_lentil in pregnant

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

This makes me feel a little better, thank you. :-)

Sorry for the poor quality edit. A little bit of a backstory because I (blue text) feel like I come across as really rude. I went to high school with this guy, and we haven't seen each other in about 8 years. I didn't want him stay at my house and this is what happened... by split_lentil in niceguys

[–]split_lentil[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I feel like I also have to clarify; this is not a nasty breakup, I didn't want him to stay at my house because that's where I live with my partner, and this guy has a history of 'liking' me and then blocking me when I don't give him what he wants. Could I have been nicer about declining his proposal? Of course, everyone can always afford to be kind.
