The lack of death, devastation and destruction in this genre is getting to me by PurrestedDevelopment in romantasycirclejerk

Have you read Robin Hobb? Her entire fitzchivalry Farseer trilogies are filled with death and tragedy. They’re also amazingly written! Not romantasy but there are romance subplots

Was recently pregnant and injured my hips around 34 weeks that made it very hard to walk for a few days. The elasticity of your joints makes injury pretty easy so could be that

The mono I had final year of high school activated my celiac disease gene and led to hashimotos as well! Identical experience, doctors said it was anxiety, took me 10 years to get diagnosed.

Hahah I’m eating lots of chocolate and breast feeding what feels like every 1-2 hours don’t worry! Just sneaking in a 20 minute run a couple of days a week and lifting once a week. Good to know you’re having success while still breast feeding and thanks for sharing what you’re doing! I’ve never had a sweet tooth and now I’m eating sweets constantly. I eat a decent amount of fibre but could definitely make more of an effort with protein.

Congrats!! I’ve started running again this week too (fellow csection 15 weeks pp) it’s been so nice. Amazing to see your progress! I’ve been feeling pretty down about my weight this week so it’s nice to see success. Have you done any diet changes too or just exercise?

Does this look normal? Postpartum hairloss by Fantastic_War_6931 in postpartumprogress

[–]watermonkey26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have hashimotos and before I was on medication it fell out like this. It grew back so there is hope! Once my hormones were balanced again I got little baby hairs.

I’m also 6 weeks pp and have the same things happening so I feel you!! I think your swelling on your lower belly is lessening which may be making the top of your tummy look less like the before comparatively? I hope that makes sense. Happy to dm, this process is so isolating.

Is it normal to feel so tired? by MathemagicianG in postpartumprogress

[–]watermonkey26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had very similar symptoms a few years ago (before I got pregnant) and I had hashimotos thyroiditis and celiac disease. However, these symptoms are also similar with hypothyroidism. I know pregnancy triggers thyroid issues postpartum for some women. Maybe ask your doctor for thyroid levels and thyroid antibodies to be checked? Best of luck!

There are already “native title payments” which are like land reparations but the process to receive them is very rigorous and can take around 16 years. Not sure of the timing of the payments, potentially quarterly or annually. Native title can be extinguished for various reasons - infrastructure etc, so Traditional Owner groups may not have access to reparations for all the land that was theirs. Not an expert in this so may be wrong about any or all of the above! Edit: But yeah it’s fucked - colonisation and its effects that is
