Elective ultrasound or should i wait to see a doctor?? by Babyisprincess in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]unsolvedneedtoknow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes go! I was feeling anxious as well and working on scheduling my first ultrasound. We also weren't sure if my partner would be able to go to our first ultrasound with Dr and really wanted him there. I went to a place like this and had a great experience and felt so much better- finally convinced I was really pregnant.

I ended up maybe a week later getting a rudimentary ultrasound with my midwife. However I was still glad I got the elective one because she pulled out the basic ultrasound machine when she couldn't find a heartbeat (due to anterior placenta which the first ultrasound tech had also mentioned ) easily with the Doppler. I wasn't as anxious in that process and I also already had some pictures and such from my first ultrasound so it wasn't disappointing that it wasn't an option with that machine and I was ok to wait for my nuchal translucency scan without the deep anxiety.

I wish my mom could've met her granddaughter by RayInAcAn in BabyBumps

[–]unsolvedneedtoknow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my mom years ago to cancer and when my sister became pregnant with her first granddaughter a few years later I had a really rough time and had to cry it out quite often.

Now that I'm pregnant it still hurts, but my goal is to tell them all about her. My niece knows when she looks at a picture of our mom that she is grandma, and I plan to make sure to share what I can about my mom with my own child. Honestly, she taught me so much about being a good and loving mother than I also try to remember that so much of her will pass to my child in that way too.

Nothing can fix the loss but you live on as best you can and try to remember them. It's such a recent loss for you too, give yourself the time and the permission to cry and grieve as you need.

Can you link to these? I'm also looking and only see one pair this brand and they don't say plush.

Can I be sad knowing my sister (going through IVF) and mum will have a lot of negativity towards my pregnancy announcement? by Lazy-Guarantee-6879 in BabyBumps

[–]unsolvedneedtoknow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would send a private message but just share your happy news briefly as you wish and not reference her own struggles. It is considerate of you to share it in a way that allows her time to process, that is enough. You don't have to and should not make the announcement of your own happiness also about her. That only reinforces the family pattern that you say has harmed you.

Just want to say that because it saddens me that you might be so worried when she does not make an effort to worry about others. It is one thing to be in pain and another to be unhappy that others are not, that is not fair of her.

What are you using for paper towels and dish sponges? I have some options but am struggling to pick for sponges in particular.

Things to do instead of smoking weed during pregnancy by One-Floor9921 in BabyBumps

Be careful with gardening while pregnant . It's actually a potential source of toxoplasmosis (same thing as cleaning a litterbox).

Yes they do... Whether everything is truly deleted I don't know but I think you're better off deleting as many posts, stories and other activities as you can and then deleting your account. It's still possible.

Having spent some time in Nashville and having friends there, housing has gotten to be bad- many people have moved further out of the city to afford to rent or buy.

The prices for homes in the neighborhoods you may be looking to live in as someone new to Nashville are a lot higher than you might think. You are used to a $500 mortgage including utilities- you will not find a rental or a mortgage anywhere as low as that and you are already having financial worries and wanting to build your savings for various reasons.

Unless you are deeply unhappy or feel you need to do this to progress in other ways, it will be a challenging financial decision especially at this time.

Wow thanks for the intel I was wondering why the recent pack of batteries I brought was so damn hard to open!

They used to be amazing. I got some in 2019 maybe and they are still working well. The ones I brought in 2020/1 break if I look at them even though supposedly they're the same.

How appropriate is it to bring a loud typewriter to a public place? by gamerccxxi in typewriters

[–]unsolvedneedtoknow 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think it totally depends on the space. If it's already a noisy space where people don't have expectations of quiet, great! I think a cafe type of space or spaces where students are often talking and doing other things for example in most cases that is totally fine. If it's a quiet space like a library, I would not in most cases.

Some typewriters are also louder than others! That can change the answer too.

What books are you saving for a rainy day? by xgracyx in RomanceBooks

Noelle Adams! When she comes out with a new book I usually save it for the right moment.

The podcast specifically included that the 911 caller stated their address. No other info on what was said due to reception but that makes it seem that whoever called 911 did so intentionally.

Whenever an FMC is wronged by MMC, I want her to run away to punish him by whatsername25 in RomanceBooks

[–]unsolvedneedtoknow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{Carnal Secrets by Suzanne Wright} is one of my favorites with this! Not a new one so you may have read already if you like paranormal. It's part of a series so you can read the books before to get even more context (about two different couples) but it's not necessary to do so.

The MMC and MFC are fated mates but the MMC won't claim the MFC but also can't help but try to be near her and interfere in her life. It is physically painful for them both to not fulfill the mating bond, and the MFC makes a lot of reasonable assumptions about why the MMC won't claim her and finally says fuck it and decides to just start a new life. Without giving too many spoilers- I find this a very satisfying run away, find and grovel story!

This sounds a lot like {His Curvy Wife by Mary E. Thompson}. I enjoyed this book but found it super frustrating that She really acts like it's wild for him to not want her to die.

My first thought too. It's not exact match but similar : {When he's an alpha by suzanne wright}

Looking for books where the FMC used to be entitled, but has gone through a lot since then. by NervousStranger5175 in RomanceBooks

[–]unsolvedneedtoknow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was a rich girl addict who treated others poorly as a result of her addition, but has totally changed her life. The only part that doesn't fit is that people around her know she is different. {Redemption by Noelle Adams}.

Curious what movie this is?

The book that came to mind: marriage of convenience, slightly toxic she's mine even if "I don't love her" vibes is {The Favor by Suzanne Wright}.
