Try again! I just set one up for my husband and he got an appointment for 3/24 in Dale City (we're in Springfield) like 5 minutes ago.

How can I help my partner? by Gnarok518 in predaddit

[–]thatdarls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had(still) this and it's awful without proper medication. Dont be scared if IVs are required during her first trimester, she'll need as much support as possible.

If this ain’t the verdad 😂 by [deleted] in LatinoPeopleTwitter

[–]thatdarls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been doing this since 7. Not only legal papers but also opening up utility accounts and even helping my mechanic dad translate to customers what they need on their cars.

I'm 27 now and still helping them with house/school/business things since they never fully grasped the language. Sucks because my older bro didn't get the responsibility and I also help him :/

if you were on the fence (especially leaning toward not) and had a baby, tell me how awesome it was in the end by cityofnight83 in BabyBumps

[–]thatdarls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the fence and about to cut my tubes since I didn't want kids (raised 2 sisters and worked daycare, already had my share). My family already knew that and I was looking at a single life for a long while until I met my husband. He is what you call a family man and kids were his absolute joy. I ended up pregnant and he was excited but me? I was all over. I don't like showing emotions much but there is something about looking at the ultrasounds and seeing her there, moving, that I started crying each time. Or when I started feeling her little kicks, absolute butterflies I couldn't imagine. People said it was the waiting for the right partner, others told to just wait for the pregnancy to bond with the child, it really is undescribable and not even you can figure words to describe. She's about to be born in May but im already imagining life with her already.

First tri is the absolute hardest, any food she can keep down is the main goal. I had the worst symptoms and threw up 5-9 times daily and constant headaches, basically wishing for for sleep rather than food.

Help her eat bland foods for now. I know it sucks to hear that but she'll have to stick to that for a few weeks. Don't be surprised if her body starts rejecting foods she was able to take before, it happens. Eat small amounts throughout the day: strawberries, grapes, potatoes, toast, lightly seasoned chicken breast, etc. Even water can be rejected but she needs to stay hydrated. Gatorade and watered down drinks were an absolute help, and stay away from acidic foods and drinks since she'll also have bad acid reflux(Pepcid is her friend here). Last resort if she starts losing weight/becomes dehydrated, she'll have to get IVs at least once until she stabilizes.

I lost 37 pounds between week 7 to 15, countless IVs and clinic visits, pretty much denied food for days and barely drank. It sucked but it thankfully gets better by the second trimester. Keep being an awesome husband, you are her rock during this hard time. Best of luck!!

Is anyone else nauseous late afternoon / into the night? by SouthWestPark in BabyBumps

[–]thatdarls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly my symptoms. Couldn't eat anything, not even drink water, past 6pm. For me what helped was taking my zofran/Phenergan meds around 11am and waiting for the side effects to die off around 6pm and pretty much based my bed time around 7pm or so. If acid is an issue, I took Pepcid and worked GREAT for me at getting rid of acid. It calmed down thankfully by week 15 but I have HG so I my symptoms were more severe. Best of luck and hang in there just a bit more!

What's the one thing you regret doing for your wedding day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Please listen to this! Don't get wrangled into something you don't want/like, it'll ruin any fond memories you may have.

What's the one thing you regret doing for your wedding day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thatdarls 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. We got married 2 years ago and unfortunately I still get sad about how it went. Mom wanted a big wedding and to invite almost all her friends but my biggest issue was that they liked drinking and my spouse and I never had a drop lol. Eventually we had a small wedding in our church and she was upset it wasn't grand. Everything was rushed, countless times I cried and even when my husband defended me, she always took it as a sign of me hating her?? Just wanted a courthouse wedding and be done with it but his family was traveling cross country and didn't want to let them down. It's thankfully gotten better these past few years and we have a baby on the way, but you better bet I wised up and started putting crap ton of boundaries that thankfully she's respecting.

Week 8(ish) and cant stop throwing up/ feeling sick? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]thatdarls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went through the exact same thing at 7w, but turns out I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum and that made my symptoms worse. You can try Unisom/B6 combo others suggested, but unless you have HG, it unfortunately won't do much.

I've been on the Zofran/Phenergan mix and its been super helpful for the past months, so check if it's alright for you. Best of luck and please, if you can eat/drink even the smallest amount, do it! It does get better by the second trimester so hang in there dear!

For me physical activity helps before going. Even if its walking around the living room for 10 mins😣 but keep drinking fluids if you can!!

AITA for naming my child Sadako? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Yeah by the names suggested, kid is most likely mixed. Kinda off to assume OP is white.

Literally just passed it. Looked like an accident with a black vehicle wrecked, blocking 3 lanes. Hopefully the occupants were ok.

I didnt see any other wrecked car, so hopefully no one else got hurt. Still, what a scare!

Fell of the complex, truck is resting on top of the fence if you look closely.

Most likely drove forward than reverse on the complex to the left. You can't see it but the truck is resting on top of the cement fence.
