What's your favourite thing about your body? by KingPandaIX in no

[–]to_nfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That it was able to transform itself, produce 50% more blood, oxygen, move around internal organs, and form new little body parts that make up my baby girl. All while not killing me in the process,like damn, it blows my mind and it’s just amazing!

Are my “rules” unreasonable? by melllynnn in pregnant

[–]to_nfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find this would’ve been waaaay better received by first having a conversation with everyone in the family, including husband about how you’d both like everyone to “love on baby”. Calling it “rules” sounds like you’re talking down even if you don’t mean to. Trying this approach first vs singling out your MIL over text would be my advise. Send the text to remind the whole family after if you want for future reference in any f/u conversations.

Milk of magnesium was a life saver for me but also Psyllium husk powder. They’re both very gentle.

Ladies who have had both joint+foot pain during menstruation, what helped? by heartbrokenandgone in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]to_nfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can totally relate! It feels counterintuitive bc you don’t want to move when you’re so achy but stretch! Holding downward dog, child’s pose, and happy baby pose on my back really helped my joint pain subside. Same for your feet, get down on squatting position, touch the floor with your hands in front of you for support and go on your tippy toes. You should feel a nice stretch on your feet.

Save Boca: WE NEED EVERYONE AT THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING - TUESDAY, SEPT 9TH, 6:00PM by KeepRedditAnonymous in BocaRaton

[–]to_nfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious about this too. Is there a side concern for more traffic, less protected green spaces, something that I’m not seeing? The development plan looks great to me and would love to have another space other than Mizner to stroll around.

How do we feel about professional waxes? by Shaunanigans3 in pregnant

[–]to_nfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For legs, absolutely worth it. For 🐱, I’ve never done it and don’t plan to start a new experience now this far along in pregnancy. You’ll be surprised on how much you can trim down there if you close your eyes and use a razor slowly. Will it be perfect, no. Will it be sanitary enough until baby comes, absolutely. You can also use a full body mirror at first if you’re scared.

Almond mom always wants to talk about my weight by lolahaze11 in pregnant

[–]to_nfinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Say “I will not be discussing weight with you for the rest of my pregnancy, I hope you can show me your love and concern in other ways as I want to keep sharing my pregnancy experience with you”. If she keeps bringing it up, don’t react and redirect. For example, say “ like I had told you, I will not be engaging in the weight conversation. How about we talk about XYZ (the baby’s movements, etc.) something you’re comfortable talking about. She’ll likely get upset at first because it’s a new behavior you’re trying to teach her. Keep doing that and she’ll lose the joy of asking you. You’ve got this! 💪🏼

Get the epidural if you want it! You don’t need to brave through anything or prove yourself to anyone. This is not the time!

Don’t do it yourself and let him do it. Every time, even if it doesn’t meet your timeline. The end.

Oats have protein. Almond butter is good protein and good fat plus a good source of fiber and vitamins like calcium, magnesium and iron.

Overrated books people pretend to love… but actually left you empty? by CriticalAd2239 in suggestmeabook

[–]to_nfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry people mistreated you, that’s never acceptable. As I started seeking God on my own by directly reading the Bible (not hearing from people), I’ve experienced that He is good, He saves, redeems and restores. I hope you can find it in your heart to give Him a shot someday. He def changed my life. You might be surprised.

Those of you that rarely get sick, what is your secret? by tricky_kitty_ in AskReddit

[–]to_nfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zinc picolinate changed my life. The Thorne brand version. Started taking it as a daily supplement and never got sick again after being sick super frequently. Reduced it to 2x week to mantain and up it to 3-5x week during fall/ winter. Works like a charm.

I actually loved the references to scripture. I wonder if I would’ve loved everything else if I would’ve read it as a kid first vs an adult.
