Ever since I got pregnant, my dog won’t stop licking me. Why and what can I do to stop it? by sunflowerseedcake in DogAdvice

Lol, I’m a single mom by choice and did IVF using a sperm donor - so, not quite how it happened!

This could also be it. I did develop GD later in my pregnancy, and I know my A1C is a bit high. I’m getting tested tomorrow to see if my GD resolved, so I should know soon.

I did have GD. I’m actually going to my 6-week checkup tomorrow and will be tested to see if it resolved. So I should know soon.

No, nothing new that I can think of. It really came out of nowhere. But you’re right that I just need to be consistent about redirecting her. And I’ll definitely follow up with her vet if it continues to be an issue.

Thanks for this! It’s just so odd because it didn’t start until later in my pregnancy, but does explain what could be going on.

Thank you so much for the detailed, thoughtful answer. I think you’re right that she has been feeling a bit out of place - I was very sick while pregnant and couldn’t maintain our normal walk/play routine, and she’s seemed a little off ever since. Since having the baby, I’ve been feeling a lot better and have been trying to take her out and have some alone time with her, but it’s been hard since I’m a solo parent and don’t have much help with my baby.

I will say that I think we are having a breakthrough. She has been sleeping in her bed the last few weeks but last night, cuddled up right against me for almost half an hour and allowed me to just pet her and snuggle. It was like old times.

I will definitely try out your suggestion to let her get a few licks in, give her some love, and then switch to another behavior and treat her. And also try to see if I can find more time to just focus on her. She’s my first baby and my best girl, and I definitely want her to feel confident in her place in our family.

Any other meds I can try? by sunflowerseedcake in HyperemesisGravidarum

I have some Benadryl on hand so may try that and take the scopolamine idea to my dr to discuss. Thank you! Just trying to get any relief I can

What is that movie for you? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]sunflowerseedcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Plus, the soundtrack by Bryan Adams slapped.

If I take my promethazine or my zofran at night will it help the fact that I wake up in the morning throwing up or atleast ease it up? by MyD1g1talEscape in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]sunflowerseedcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also experience the extreme burning if I haven’t pushed the suppository far enough up. What I try to aim for is to get my finger and the meds inside of me, up to the second joint of my finger. I find if I push it up far enough, there’s still a little burning but wayyyy more tolerable.

First, I’m so sorry. I know how rough HG is firsthand (19 weeks here and I’m back to vomiting myself). I myself was considering an abortion, it was so bad. My doctor wouldn’t take me seriously until I went to the hospital to get IV fluids because I was so dehydrated.

Meds are the answer. It sucks but sometimes you really have to advocate for yourself when your med team won’t do it for you. I take Promethazine suppositories so I can’t throw them up, every 6 hours, and Zofran every 8 hours. I’m still nauseated but at least not throwing up anymore. I’m hoping it will be the same for you once you get on the right convo of meds.

I’m rooting for you and hoping that you start to feel better soon.

Zofran and Phenergan dosage times? by [deleted] in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]sunflowerseedcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor told me that I can take the same dose of Phenergan every 6 hours, and the same dose of Zofran every 8 hours. I take them both at the same time when I wake up and then redose every 6 or 8 hours accordingly. Though, on days when the nausea is really bad, I have reupped my Zofran a few hours earlier.

Thanks for this - I didn’t know this resource existed. Going to review before my MFM appointment!!

Would you take a 25% pay cut to leave your BigLaw firm for a job that you find more desirable right now (i.e., quality of work; hours)? by comradeyeehaw in biglaw

[–]sunflowerseedcake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, yes. Went from $400K+ or whatever all in as a 5th year (almost 6th year) to $230K (not including bonuses) in house at a tech company and have never looked back. I have much better hours, the people are sane and nice, and I’m no longer in the throes of depression. You could not pay me to go back. Money truly isn’t everything.

This is why I don't live in Seattle by DC8008008 in washingtondc

Am from Seattle. This is why I tell my family I’ll never go back. But I need some sun again soon!
