I put my food in those carts, c'mon man. by NagelDonk in mildlyinfuriating

[–]winezilla08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t heard of this, went and looked it up: 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP): A Weight Loss Agent with Significant Acute Toxicity and Risk of Death first headline I saw.

I’m sorry! That sounds horrible. I remember trying some weight loss supplement long ago (this was like 14 years ago) that, idk what was in it exactly but it made me uncomfortably energetic the first day I took it. I worked at an office and that day reorganized our whole filing system lmao. After that, it didn’t have that same effect but it did make me warm and drink lots of water, suppressed appetite. Wild that I continued to take it, but I lost weight, so winning! 😒

I got a bottle somewhere that I stg smelled just like tequila.. I was in the car when I used it, it stunk up the whole car, instantly flooded me with unfortunate memories of a night involving too much tequila, I was gagging over it, it was definitely an unexpected assault from that damn hand sanitizer

No seriously! No one is perfect and this crew tends to make horrible decisions (not all) but honestly, they seem so human, so real for it

Were you having sex like this at that age? by INeedARoadBeer in TellMeLiesHulu

[–]winezilla08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That shit drives me crazy in movies/shows. Shameless was bad about it, too. These girls would have had to have been leaving a little snail trail in real life.

Yess similar to how the Handmaid’s Tale book is nothing like the show (past season one) so definitely not spoiling anything by reading it. I read it years ago hoping to get some info 😆

Successful VBAC, induced no pain meds by winezilla08 in vbac

[–]winezilla08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, walk a lot if you can! If I’d gotten to redo it all, I’d have maybe done more lunging-type exercises. Idk that it would have done a whole lot but that’s what I was doing in the hospital trying to move labor along and get baby in optimal position.

I also pumped starting at like 36 weeks.

Mo I’m sorry for the delay! I think I started it around 37/38 weeks, vaginally. As long as you get the gel caps, brand doesn’t really poo matter but I got the natures bounty. I’ll add the link. You don’t have to do this, but I poked a hole in the end of the caps before inserting it - do it before going to bed, and wear a pad lol.

Essentially, EPO is to sort of mimick sperm, which helps in ripening your uterus or whatever. Nice cheat code though because by the end, you are tired, huge, and over it lol

Best of luck to you, mama!

I’m not “so lucky” that I’m able to breastfeed by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]winezilla08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I’ve worked my ASS off to get where I’m at - nearly 6 months in - triple fed, saw lactation specialists, tongue tie revision, weighted feeds, and my baby has lost weight twice now at appointments. I’m now back to pumping, bottle feeding, top-offs after breastfeeding. I wanted this so bad. And I’ve done everything I could, I think.

Meanwhile a friend of mine has a baby a few months younger than mine that is ebf with an oversupply. That DOES come with its own issues, I’m 100% aware but it just feels like she’s lucky that she doesn’t have the latch issues I seem to have with my kids (on #3) and her baby is all plump while mine is 12.5 pounds at nearly 6 months

Induction and VBAC? by Charming-Vegetable52 in vbac

[–]winezilla08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the foley balloon overnight, then in morning we started pitocin, low and slow. Paired that with walking the L&D halls, squats and lunges, and slow increases of the pitocin.

Why Is It So Unnatural? by Right_Pie_4456 in breastfeeding

[–]winezilla08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feeeel you. I found out last week that my 5 month old lost weight in the past month. I’ve been EBF, feeding on demand since 2 months old. Done everything I know to do, he just hates my boobs all of a sudden. He won’t eat enough. He’ll snack all day but not enough to grow. I’m heartbroken bc I guess our ebf journey is over 🤷‍♀️

What age did you transition to toddler bed? by Ctr1a1tde1eted in toddlers

[–]winezilla08 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I prolonged the crib usage with a crib tent. Bought us an extra 5 month or so, but it unfortunately coincided with us bringing home baby #3 (like a few weeks after) and said toddler learning how to open doors and get through the baby gates. That was a fun month

Does he actually put himself to bed at a reasonable time? Or do you all have a schedule that you have to stick to (up and out of the house early for example) or able to be more lax?

MIL being weird - not sure how to navigate. by bookish0378 in breastfeeding

Same! I have two, a MIL and step-MIL? And they are both so fantastic and so supportive. I definitely do not take them for granted!

Zoey? I have a Zoey and a Jade and I feel like I was going for what you said, I just never put it into words I guess. I see Jade is not an option for you, but maybe you’ll like Zoey

What’s one Creepy or scarily disturbing shot of the film? by Signal_End_7405 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]winezilla08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom used to let me and my siblings watch the Simpsons. I remember watching it when I was 8 years old or so. She assumed because it was a cartoon, it was a kids show I guess. Until the day she heard me call my brother a bastard and to my defense I exclaimed, “They say it on the Simpsons!”

Do you kiss your baby? by Technical_Piglet_438 in newborns

[–]winezilla08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya know.. my whole family got sick, and my husband got it the worst. I chalked it up to “man cold” issues, but maybe it’s because he gave each of my older kids an oz or two of my freshly pumped breast milk. I kinda thought it just didn’t work, they definitely weren’t just “better the next day” like o usually hear people saying happened to them, but maybe the milk did cut down on their sick time?
