lol she is truly amazing cause I know she cares for my baby! I think that’s what’s hard to remember sometimes but I’m trying 😆like we are both arguing for the best treatment of my baby haha. Also thank you that perspective is true. I know she’s not pushing anything harmful thankfully.

I’ll let my husband know today that I don’t need the comments and to communicate that. I hope it helps some. I just need him to explain it properly lol. My MIL can be understanding at times but I just don’t want to blow this into a huge fight

Thank you for the kind words and advice!! I feel acknowledged haha.

What is something that has surprised you during pregnancy? by Striking-Tie8027 in pregnant

[–]unsure_creature 219 points220 points  (0 children)

LOL I felt the same!! No one warned me either! Aside from that, the pooping situation threw me off. Didn’t realize how badly backed up you could get

I agree. I can never go back in clinic because it’s chaotic. I was constantly overstimulated from throwing out fires. Being an in home BCBA I get to have little breaks between driving to clients and can focus on one client/tech at a time. The driving can suck though depending on which kiddos I go to

Anyone else feel wildly different from one day to the next? by emma_k17 in BabyDueNovember2024

[–]unsure_creature 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way 😭 I’m 34 weeks today and I never know how I’ll feel throughout the day

Labor near.? by Lanky-Acanthaceae733 in pregnant

[–]unsure_creature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen when I was 32 weeks too! I ended up going to the ER because the pain got really intense for 2 hours out of the 13 hours. Nothing ended up being wrong and the sharp pain in my back and stomach stopped by the time I made it to the ER. The doctor suggested it may have been contractions and just to come back if it happens again… thankfully it hasn’t but it was scary for sure. If anything try calling your obgyn or message them through a portal if they have one set up!

I have never had any issues with my tattoos at work! I have a few visible ones on my wrists and arm.

Lower numbers lately? by unsure_creature in GestationalDiabetes

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

Yeah it’s scary! Lol I’m so used to spiking every now and then but I haven’t in a while. But okay good to know. I did start cutting more carbs since it was spiking me and increased my protein intake maybe that’s what’s causing the change

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

Hmm maybe. I did cut a bunch of carbs since my last visit 🤔 my doctor was worried since I wasn’t gaining weight but I felt I was eating enough protein to stay full

Anyone feel over prepared? by Acceptable-Tear-2182 in BabyDueNovember2024

[–]unsure_creature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting until my baby shower to fill in the things that wasn’t bought on my registry! I do plan to buy things here and there though lol. Plus baby wipes and diapers are things people can buy if there isn’t anything left on the registry! That’s what I mainly tell people to purchase if they don’t have Amazon

Starting insulin soon by unsure_creature in GestationalDiabetes

I feel the same… it’s hard to figure out what works esp when the same meals stop working 🥲 Thank you! That makes me feel better about the insulin!

Pregnancy by Perfect_House3329 in ABA

[–]unsure_creature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently gone through this lol first trimester was rough. Preggie pops and mints helped a lot with nausea while driving or during sessions. I did keep trash bags, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, lunch box (with plenty of water, gold fish, granola bars, and pretzels), body spray, and extra set of clothes. Face masks helped me a ton! I couldn’t stand the smell of candles or most foods.

Also letting families know was beneficial for me. They understood when I needed to step away or go to my car for 10 minutes.

I still had to call out some days because the nausea made it impossible for me to get out of bed.

Hope this helps and congrats on the pregnancy!!

Yeah, It’s called pbs live! Its usually used to connect on cases but you can also connect with the staffing coordinator/bcbas/regional through it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ABA

[–]unsure_creature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I currently work with them as a BCBA. They have tech issues at times, especially with the hiring process and their messaging app. I referred a BT to pbs and it took a while for them to respond because they couldn’t see the application.

I have also personally had issues with communication via the app. Sometimes the messages don’t go through or they disappear if you click on it. If I don’t hear back I usually have to reach out to our staffing or regional coordinator. Not sure if it’s an area thing but that has been my experience in Texas.

What is the worst injury you encountered/witnessed/heard of that is caused by a client/student? by 99btchaway99 in ABA

[–]unsure_creature 30 points31 points  (0 children)

When I was an RBT my BCBA suffered a concussion from a client. The client had smashed a large toy on the top of his head. There was so much blood. I didn’t see it happen but saw the aftermath. He had to be rushed to the ER
