2023.05.31 05:44 VerryUniqueUsername 20/CST/PC Looking for people to play games with, or someone to teach me certain games.
Hi there! Right now I'm sitting down eating gummy bears, looking for people to play some games with. I'm down to play just about anything except for competitive shooters. I play a lot of indie games, and don't have enough people to play with. I'm looking for people to play with regularly. I have a lot of free time over the summer, so I will be available a decent amount of the time.
League is the game I've been playing most over the past few months. It would be nice to find people who aren't toxic to play with regularly. I would be open to playing Diablo 4 when it comes out, provided it's worth the money. Other than that, I'm always open to game suggestions. I've been wanting to get into an MMO, but it's way too intimidating to figure out by myself. If you are open to teaching me, I'd love to learn. The one shooter I would be down to try is Hunt: Showdown. It's really caught my interest, but I can tell I would be suffering if I played it alone.
Anyways, if you're looking for someone to play most games with just shoot me a message. I prefer if you're somewhere around my age. I would also prefer if we could chat over vc, even if you need some time to feel comfortable before we do.

2023.05.31 04:35 Ok_Pumpkin4731 I had a muffin today.
I’m type 2/not on insulin/on metformin/vegan (yes I know the joke but it’s pertinent to the story lol).
The coffeeshop across the street just debuted a new vegan option for their baked goods. A banana nut muffin. I used to LOVE banana nut muffins but they’re rarely available out and about as a vegan option so it was taunting me 😆. I decided to treat myself and make it my lunch. I also wanted a coffee, I got a sugar-free v. caramel latte with macadamia milk (their almond milk had added sugar and oatmilk is high in carbs). The muffin was huge. Like 3 normal sized muffins put together lol. I knew the smart thing would be to have 1/2 today and 1/2 tomorrow. Nope. It was so good I inhaled it lol. Then I was like 😬
I was pleased to find I only spiked to 168 (I was anticipating I’d go over 200), then came back down to 120ish rather quickly.
Just wanted to share because I tend to get a bit too militant at times and have food control issues and I have to remind myself treats like this are okay now and then. Maybe someone else is struggling with the same issue. This disease can be exhausting mentally and emotionally and after having been militant since diagnosis last November, a few months back I binged on a whole lot of food I shouldn’t have. I don’t want a repeat of that. I’ve noticed allowing a (relatively small usually) sweet or carby treat that would normally fit outside my “normal” diet about once every two weeks or so helps me stay on track and helps me keep a healthy overall mindset about navigating diabetes.

2023.05.31 03:54 Stuffs_And_Thingies Long story but serious question
Alright so let's start 18 years ago now.
When i was 17, I had a seizure while driving, hit some mailboxes, caught a false DUI charge, and got to sleep it odd with 20 other dudes in a holding cell. Fun times.
Next day, I post bail and immediately go to the doctor, who sends me to get an MRI. Had a tumor wrapped around some blood vessels in my brain that they found. 2 months later on my 18th birthday, I'm in surgery.
Wake up and was paralyzed on my left side, got to spend 4 months in ICU and 6 months in inpatient rehab. Can move and walk, yay, memory before the surgery is like trying to remember a faded dream. Sucks.
Anyways, after that I was (to my knowledge) seizure free. So let's fast forward to today. Was 5pm and I was driving home. My hands start feeling tingly, along with the rest of me. I brush it off as low blood sugar (despite eating earlier) or a basic anxiety attack. Kept driving to push myself through it, but it kept getting worsemy hands froze up and did this horrible contraction like thing, like you see in paralysis patients. I couldn't move them in certain ways, but could still move my fingers mostly. Again though, nor unusual or anything, happens sometimes for 30 seconds or a minute or so during an anxiety attack. I couldn't do shit with my hands 10 minutes later.
I called my wife, as sometimes talking on the phone can help. But it started getting quickly worse.. probably about 10 minutes into the ordeal now. My mouth started to tighten into an "o" and I could still talk and stuff, but it was strained. I pulled over at this point.
A minute or so later and I could breathe fine, but talking felt like my throat was doing loops. Really weird feeling that. Anyways, my wife showed up 5 minutes after that, and sat with me through it.
I didn't drive home, and went for the car a few hours later. Got home fine.
This lasted maybe 30 minutes from start to end, and I still got this weird feeling of having goosebumps on the left side of my face whenever I notice it.
Anyways, I'm unsure what this was, but I was awake and (mostly) functional, but I really don't know if it was a focal seizure or just some weird event.
For reference, my initial seizures were all grand mal.
What do yall think?

2023.05.31 02:27 RedBaldReddit Landlord Hid/Rearranged my Perosnal Belongings for Tour
Hello, I haven't been able to find any info on this and I am curious if any of this is against any rights or not. I felt very disrespected, but I wasnt sure if I have anything to stand on...
First, my Landlord did a round of tours of my current place overtime, without any communication to me about needing this overtime. I was out of town that week for work, and I said I would be returning the evening of the day that they wanted to do the tours. They said the tours would only be until 3pm that day, so I thought there were no problems. I got home at 6pm and to my surprise (and her's, based off her startled expression), the Landlord was still in the condo. I was asked to leave for 30 mins cause the prospective tenant hadn't shown yet.
I had cleaned the condo prior to leaving for the week and made sure it was in a good condition, as I had a hunch my landlord would want to tour while I was away since it's that time of the season.
So, I looked around the condo quickly before I left for the requested 30 mins, and eventhough it's a furnished condo, most of my personal belongings were hidden or rearranged from how I had them. I didn't know how to process this. I wasn't sure if this was awful, or I was overreacting.
So I left, got dinner, and returned when it was ok to..
After I was told I could return and they (both prospective tenant and landlord) had supposedly left, the Landlord was actually still in my condo upon my return unfortunately. They took a bag of my empty cans and bottles cause they said they would attract vermin, but I assured her that they were all sugar free drinks so it wouldn't be a reason or an attraction. She took them anyway.
I spent part of the night finding or putting back my things to where I had them, and couldn't help but feel something felt wrong about this whole encounter, but I didn't know if there was technically anything I could do about it. All I could do was laugh when I found my high grade speakers in my recycling box for instance, or my scale under the tub, seeing my electric piano moved across the room etc.
She may want to tour again this weekend. If this is against anything I can stand on, what do you suggest I do proactively in order to use my rights so she doesn't move all my stuff again, take my refundables, or tour much later than communicated?
Thank you.

Memory transcription subject: Professor Tevest, FTL Researcher
Date [standardized human time]: November 10, 2136
“They said 10:00 am. Do you think they’re still coming?” Virnix asked from the seat next to me.
I leaned my head against the car window. “It’s only 10:07, they’re just running a little late.”
“Maybe something happened to them. Or they forgot.”
“I messaged them. They know we’re here.”
“Then why didn’t they respond? The car drives itself, what could they be doing?”
I didn’t have an answer to that. I went back to silently wishing they would show up. We’d been waiting in car in the corner of the parking lot for over fifteen minutes. I’d honestly thought we’d be the ones late today given how long it took to get Dwlin to go to the bathroom and Kover not being able to find his data pad.
My pad buzzed. ”Sorry we’re late. We just parked and will be waiting for you out front” I read aloud.
Virnix looked to the back seat. “Everybody stick together. Stay within arm’s reach at all times. Got it?”
We got out of the car and began walking to the front. “Hold my paw Dwlin,” Virnix said, stress and worry seeping into her tone. Her eyes kept jumping around as if an arxur was going jump out from behind one of the parked cars. Was I that nervous my first day out? I grabbed her free paw and gave a reassuring squeeze.
Kover glanced over at us. “I’m not holding hands. Don’t ask.”
“Hey!” A voice yipped out between the cars. Virnix’s grip tightened at the noise, then tightened again further when a yotul jumped out between parked cars in front of us.
“Come on! They’re over here!” Sock yelled out, waving someone over. Following Socks, Kyle and another human woman I didn’t recognize appeared.
The woman smiled, stepped forward with a hand outstretched. “Hi, my name’s Catherine. Pleased to meet ya.” Virnix’s claws began to dig into my paw as she stared in terror. She looked to be on the verge of bolting.
“It’s good to meet you too,” I said grimacing over the pain in my paw. “My name’s Tevest.”
The human woman must had taken notice at my tone in my voice because she took a look at my wife and took a step back. “Sorry about that,” she said, her smile dropping. “You guys got a thing about teeth and stuff. I’m guessing the one on your left is Mrs. Tevest?”
Mrs. Tevest? “Yeah. This is my wife Virnix. Why don’t you introduce yourself Virnix.”
“H-hello. I’m Virnix,” my wife voiced with a robotic stutter.
“It’s great to meet you Virnix,” Catherine said turning her attention to Dwlin. “And what’s your name?”
“Dwlin.” The little gojid said proudly.
“Dwlin, that’s a nice name. Is that your uncle over there?”
“Uncle?” Dwlin said confused. Virnix’s paw went limp. I followed the woman’s gaze to where it landed on my son.
“The tall gojid over there.”
I burst out laughing. “That’s my son Kover!”
Human woman’s smile returned. “I guess I walked into that,” she said with a chuckle.
Virnix looked more confused than I’ve ever seen her in her life. “We’re like over twice his age, how can you not tell?” Virnix asked dumbfounded.
“Hey, I’ve never met a gojid before. The extent of my knowledge is that you guys have spikes and were gene-modded to be herbivores.”
Kyle looked up at Kover. “How old are you kid?”
“Fourteen,” he replied simply.
“Damn….”
“If you guys are done talking, can we go shopping now? I need more frozen burritos,” Socks interceded. “I’m Sokvous by the way.”
---
We walked through the sliding doors and into a brightly lit store with rows and rows of aisles. Soft music played overhead. If there was meat in the store I couldn’t see or smell it yet. I heard a crash to the side as Socks yanked carts from a receptacle.
Virnix huddled closer to me. “Tevest, I don’t like that look,” she whispered with as she pointed to the humans in the lines near the front. They had a look I was all too familiar with.
“Relax. That look doesn’t mean I’m hungry and want to eat you. It means What is a gojid doing here? Why did the gojid come to where I am. Should I talk to the gojid? Just look at what they’re doing.” Several humans in the lines were whispering to one another and others were taking pictures. “It’s not hunger, it’s interest.”
Socks handed me a cart. “You get used to it. Mostly. At least you have spikes. Last time I was here people kept trying to touch me.”
“Touch you?”
“Grab the tail. Sneak up behind you and stroke your fur. Real annoying stuff.”
Catherine led the way into the store. “So, what’s on your shopping list?” She inquired.
“Fruits and vegetables at the very least.” Virnix responded. “I liked whatever those orange tubers were called….”
“Sweet potatoes,” Kover said helpfully.
“That’s it, sweet potatoes. They weren’t half-bad after boiling.”
“How’d you season them?”
“Salt?” Virnix said confused.
Catherine looked like she just heard we ate dirt. “You just boiled them and used salt? That’s not dinner, that’s a food crime. Whatcha gotta do is to toss them in brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans and roast those suckers. If your feeling real frisky you put a touch of ginger in them too. What else you looking for?”
“Whatever the red smushy ones were called. I think the package said tomatoes.”
“Another good choice, great in all kinds of things. Soups, casseroles, pasta, sandwiches…”
She kept going on like this. Virnix would mention something she wanted to get and the human would expound on it. Sweet potatoes, tomatoes, oranges, onions, among other fruits and vegetables were added, including a few that weren’t at the home when we arrive.
“You sure this one’s edible?”
“Wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t. You just got to slice it open. Don’t let me forget, we need to get you some spices before you leave. What else do you need?”
“Juice! I want juice!” A few humans turned to the noise my daughter was making.
My wife pointed a claw. “Dwlin, use your indoor voice.”
“But I want juice!”
“Then don’t yell and ask nicely. If you want people to listen, then speak like a sapient.”
My daughter’s demeanor softened a touch. “Can we get some juice now please?”
“Better. Do you know where the juice is Catherine?”
“Down past the refrigerated section by the meat section. I’ll show you.” Dutifully we followed woman. The meat section. Whatever you do Tevest, don’t panic. If you panic then Virnix panics, then its trouble. Just don’t make a scene… We walked down, and down the aisle and it came into view.
Behind glass encased freezers there was flesh within, packed within plastic wraps. I couldn’t tell what kind of creatures these had once been. Did I even want to know? Virnix looked like she wanted to get away from here as soon as possible. Kover loomed over one of the freezers, peering in. Sokvous walked up to a freezer, grabbed several bags and handed one to me. “You guys need to try this, it’s delicious”
I dropped the bag. That’s it, I’ve lost it. The herbivore is buying meat. I’m stuck in a nightmare. The humans corrupting us wasn’t paranoia. Protector protect me, wait, no, oh god, wh-
“You okay Tevest?” Sokvous asked. My legs swayed and I began heading to the floor. Halfway down something grabbed me by the arm. “Geez man, get a grip.”
I sat on the tile and stared at the man who had a hold of me. “M-meat?”
Sokvous let go of my arm. “It’s not meat. Read the damn package.”
I slowly sat up. Not meat? I pointed my visual translator at the bag on the floor.
Kyle offered me a hand. “It’s plant-based meat. It means that it’s plants that are processed to taste like meat.”
“Why?” I asked, still confused.
He grabbed my paw and me to my feet. “Because sometimes people like the taste of meat, but can’t or don’t want to eat the real stuff. Reasons vary from religious, to health, to environmental. The real stuff’s better, but with the war going on and the cattle exchange it’s hard to get.”
“So why are you buying it Socks?”
“Because it tastes good,” the marsupial replied roughly. I opened my mouth, but was cut off. “And before you ask no, I do not have predator disease. The Venlil, the Zurulians, and all those other Federation stooges can shove that fucking diagnosis up their ass. It’s a goddamn flavored plant. Besides, eating plants didn’t stop the Kolshians from assassinating diplomats. Where was the predator diagnosis on Nikonous you damn quacks!”
Where’d that come from? I picked the bag off the floor and looked at it. “I’m… not quite sure I’m comfortable with eating this.”
“I’d be willing to try it,” Kover said. “I wouldn’t tell anyone. Besides, even if they do what are they going do? Banish us to Earth?”
Virnix took the bag from my hands and shoved it back into the freezer. “I think we’re good. Let’s get your juice Dwlin.” She looked down only to find an empty space beside her. “Dwlin?”
My stomach dropped. Did we lose her? A moment later I spotted her at the far side of the section by the juice.
Which was on the topmost part of the shelves.
The shelves she was in the process of climbing.
I started dashing over. Nope nope nope nope nope nope.
This was going to be a long day.

The human woman must had taken notice at my tone in my voice because she took a look at my wife and took a step back. “Sorry about that,” she said, her smile dropping. “You guys got a thing about teeth and stuff. I’m guessing the one on your left is Mrs. Tevest?”
Mrs. Tevest? “Yeah. This is my wife Virnix. Why don’t you introduce yourself Virnix.”
“H-hello. I’m Virnix,” my wife voiced with a robotic stutter.
“It’s great to meet you Virnix,” Catherine said turning her attention to Dwlin. “And what’s your name?”
“Dwlin.” The little gojid said proudly.
“Dwlin, that’s a nice name. Is that your uncle over there?”
“Uncle?” Dwlin said confused. Virnix’s paw went limp. I followed the woman’s gaze to where it landed on my son.
“The tall gojid over there.”
I burst out laughing. “That’s my son Kover!”
Human woman’s smile returned. “I guess I walked into that,” she said with a chuckle.
Virnix looked more confused than I’ve ever seen her in her life. “We’re like over twice his age, how can you not tell?” Virnix asked dumbfounded.
“Hey, I’ve never met a gojid before. The extent of my knowledge is that you guys have spikes and were gene-modded to be herbivores.”
Kyle looked up at Kover. “How old are you kid?”
“Fourteen,” he replied simply.
“Damn….”
“If you guys are done talking, can we go shopping now? I need more frozen burritos,” Socks interceded. “I’m Sokvous by the way.”
---
We walked through the sliding doors and into a brightly lit store with rows and rows of aisles. Soft music played overhead. If there was meat in the store I couldn’t see or smell it yet. I heard a crash to the side as Socks yanked carts from a receptacle.
Virnix huddled closer to me. “Tevest, I don’t like that look,” she whispered with as she pointed to the humans in the lines near the front. They had a look I was all too familiar with.
“Relax. That look doesn’t mean I’m hungry and want to eat you. It means What is a gojid doing here? Why did the gojid come to where I am. Should I talk to the gojid? Just look at what they’re doing.” Several humans in the lines were whispering to one another and others were taking pictures. “It’s not hunger, it’s interest.”
Socks handed me a cart. “You get used to it. Mostly. At least you have spikes. Last time I was here people kept trying to touch me.”
“Touch you?”
“Grab the tail. Sneak up behind you and stroke your fur. Real annoying stuff.”
Catherine led the way into the store. “So, what’s on your shopping list?” She inquired.
“Fruits and vegetables at the very least.” Virnix responded. “I liked whatever those orange tubers were called….”
“Sweet potatoes,” Kover said helpfully.
“That’s it, sweet potatoes. They weren’t half-bad after boiling.”
“How’d you season them?”
“Salt?” Virnix said confused.
Catherine looked like she just heard we ate dirt. “You just boiled them and used salt? That’s not dinner, that’s a food crime. Whatcha gotta do is to toss them in brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans and roast those suckers. If your feeling real frisky you put a touch of ginger in them too. What else you looking for?”
“Whatever the red smushy ones were called. I think the package said tomatoes.”
“Another good choice, great in all kinds of things. Soups, casseroles, pasta, sandwiches…”
She kept going on like this. Virnix would mention something she wanted to get and the human would expound on it. Sweet potatoes, tomatoes, oranges, onions, among other fruits and vegetables were added, including a few that weren’t at the home when we arrive.
“You sure this one’s edible?”
“Wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t. You just got to slice it open. Don’t let me forget, we need to get you some spices before you leave. What else do you need?”
“Juice! I want juice!” A few humans turned to the noise my daughter was making.
My wife pointed a claw. “Dwlin, use your indoor voice.”
“But I want juice!”
“Then don’t yell and ask nicely. If you want people to listen, then speak like a sapient.”
My daughter’s demeanor softened a touch. “Can we get some juice now please?”
“Better. Do you know where the juice is Catherine?”
“Down past the refrigerated section by the meat section. I’ll show you.” Dutifully we followed woman. The meat section. Whatever you do Tevest, don’t panic. If you panic then Virnix panics, then its trouble. Just don’t make a scene… We walked down, and down the aisle and it came into view.
Behind glass encased freezers there was flesh within, packed within plastic wraps. I couldn’t tell what kind of creatures these had once been. Did I even want to know? Virnix looked like she wanted to get away from here as soon as possible. Kover loomed over one of the freezers, peering in. Sokvous walked up to a freezer, grabbed several bags and handed one to me. “You guys need to try this, it’s delicious”
I dropped the bag. That’s it, I’ve lost it. The herbivore is buying meat. I’m stuck in a nightmare. The humans corrupting us wasn’t paranoia. Protector protect me, wait, no, oh god, wh-
“You okay Tevest?” Sokvous asked. My legs swayed and I began heading to the floor. Halfway down something grabbed me by the arm. “Geez man, get a grip.”
I sat on the tile and stared at the man who had a hold of me. “M-meat?”
Sokvous let go of my arm. “It’s not meat. Read the damn package.”
I slowly sat up. Not meat? I pointed my visual translator at the bag on the floor.
Plant-based meatballs. 30 count. Now with new and improved flavor!“What?” I said confused.
Kyle offered me a hand. “It’s plant-based meat. It means that it’s plants that are processed to taste like meat.”
“Why?” I asked, still confused.
He grabbed my paw and me to my feet. “Because sometimes people like the taste of meat, but can’t or don’t want to eat the real stuff. Reasons vary from religious, to health, to environmental. The real stuff’s better, but with the war going on and the cattle exchange it’s hard to get.”
“So why are you buying it Socks?”
“Because it tastes good,” the marsupial replied roughly. I opened my mouth, but was cut off. “And before you ask no, I do not have predator disease. The Venlil, the Zurulians, and all those other Federation stooges can shove that fucking diagnosis up their ass. It’s a goddamn flavored plant. Besides, eating plants didn’t stop the Kolshians from assassinating diplomats. Where was the predator diagnosis on Nikonous you damn quacks!”
Where’d that come from? I picked the bag off the floor and looked at it. “I’m… not quite sure I’m comfortable with eating this.”
“I’d be willing to try it,” Kover said. “I wouldn’t tell anyone. Besides, even if they do what are they going do? Banish us to Earth?”
Virnix took the bag from my hands and shoved it back into the freezer. “I think we’re good. Let’s get your juice Dwlin.” She looked down only to find an empty space beside her. “Dwlin?”
My stomach dropped. Did we lose her? A moment later I spotted her at the far side of the section by the juice.
Which was on the topmost part of the shelves.
The shelves she was in the process of climbing.
I started dashing over. Nope nope nope nope nope nope.
This was going to be a long day.
2023.05.31 02:16 fiewfiew1994 10 year old sister developing signs of ED
Hi people,
I am writing here to gather information on how to best help my dad and his girlfriend with their worries concerning my little sister (without harming her more). My little sister (let's call her Josie) is 10 years old, and alike to me, she has a strong build (she is always the tallest of her friend group, etc). My father mentioned to me tonight that he is worried about her behaviour. She has been restricting her eating; insisting on not eating certain meals; talking about her weight; and generally eating a lot less than usual. He also mentioned that he witnessed her bingeing and making herself throw up (because she felt too full), in this case on watermelon... I already knew she had a tendency to binge certain things (because her parents are very restrictive on some food, like, sugar, for instance). I have told my step mother before that she shouldn't talk about her daughters weight in front of her (or even her own weight and body for that matter), and I know that in the past years, she has been on every type of diet possible to reduce her bloating and that she talk about it constantly.
Anyways, I am pretty worried about my little sister, it seems very young to me to develop an ED... I would appreciate recommendation of ressources for girls in ED prevention. FYI we are in Canada, therefore most services should be free, so there is no concern for that.
Thank you in advance for your help!

2023.05.31 01:30 SeparateFalcon6214 “Free”-feeding?
From what I’ve read, it’s best to feed a chihuahua (or any tiny dog) at least twice a day, to prevent low blood sugar. If they are fed only once a day it’s all in and all out at once. I might be wrong, if I am please correct me.
My chi sometimes doesn’t eat when I give him food, and skipping that meal probably makes his blood sugar low. He gets 0,5dl twice a day.
I’m considering trying putting all his food in a bowl at once, then he can eat when he’s hungry. But I would only give him his regular amount of food, 1dl. Technically not free/unlimited access to food, just his regular amount but he eats a few pieces here and there when he’s hungry. I would of course still monitor his weight and adjust the amount of food accordingly, just like I always do.
His teeth are all good and he likes his food, so this could be behavioral, but regardless of cause I’m worried about his blood sugar. No healthy dog would starve themselves, but he could still feel unwell.
…And as the chi he is, he probably blames ME for not for not offering food when HE is hungry, haha.
Are there any cons, other than potential weight gain if he is fed too much?
Has anyone tried this? Was it good/bad?

2023.05.31 01:24 ccress23 I graduated!
I was diagnosed at 24 weeks with GD. I have a family history of GD so I knew it was a high possibility. I struggled with the diet and was losing weight. During my first appointment with the specialist, she started me on metformin so that I could have a little bit more flexibility in my diet. Metformin was awesome! I worked my way to 1000mg twice a day and my sugars were great. No longer had issues with fasting sugar and it didn’t matter if I had a snack or not. It did take around a month on the full dose to regulate my sugars so well.
Where I live (Ontario, Canada), it’s common for induction between 38-40 weeks when medication controlled. Baby measured right on track at all growth scans thankfully. I still, however, opted for induction at 38 weeks. The labour and delivery floor here can be busy, and they often need to turn elective inductions away if they are busy with active labours. I figured I would go ahead with the induction at 38 weeks and not risk being pushed off and delayed. We went in at 9am on May 15th and I received a dose of prostin gel and sent home. We returned 6 hours later to be checked again and I was 3cm dilated and had started mild contractions while I was laying on the stretcher. The OB decided that I didn’t need any more medications and felt I would go into labour over night and need to return, otherwise I was to return for 7am for admission to get things rolling. It was a pretty miserable night and my contractions became stronger, but not unbearable.
My water never broke over night, and we went to the hospital as instructed the next morning. Was assessed by the OB and was still 3cm, was told I would start oxytocin to get things rolling. The infusion started at 9am and contractions got stronger in the next 30min. I laboured on the ball for a while until the pain was too much. I struggled with knowing when to get an epidural, because I didn’t want to be restricted to the bed and slow things down. At 11:30 I asked for the epidural, and by 12:00 I was in 10/10 pain and didn’t think I could handle it! I got the epidural at 1230 and had some relief. My nurse had checked me at 11:30 prior to epidural and I was 5cm, she wondered after the epidural if I had progressed and that was why I was in so much pain, low and behold I was 10cm one hour later! It was time to push!
I pushed for 2.5hrs, but it really didn’t feel like that long. I was nearly pain free and my nurses and husband were wonderful, pushing was the easiest part. Babies heart rate was getting high the longer we pushed, and the OB was called. He decided we would use the vacuum to help baby out. Baby was hands up with the cord wrapped around the neck. A little baby girl was brown at 2:37pm. Right away we could tell her little lungs sounded wet. Because of the heart rate, NICU team was ready to assess baby. She needed some suctioning, and they ended up taking her into the NICU for a bit of breathing support. I was so so sad… she tore me up pretty good, with 3 second degree tears. After being stitched up, the room cleared out and I was pretty much alone, my husband going with baby, I was so emotional. My nurses got me into a wheelchair within the hour to go see my baby. We were able to do some skin to skin and try to breastfeed. While we were there they were able to take off the breathing mask (CPAP). I stayed there with her for an hour or 2, and had to go back to my room to get into the shower. By 6pm our baby girl got to join us in our room! She was 6lbs 11oz and 49.5cm long.
As for the GD, they checked my sugar twice, and baby girls sugar 3 times. All normal. My sugars at home have all been within range, and I will have an A1C checked in the coming weeks. So far all clear!! There is an end in sight my friends :)

As for the GD, they checked my sugar twice, and baby girls sugar 3 times. All normal. My sugars at home have all been within range, and I will have an A1C checked in the coming weeks. So far all clear!! There is an end in sight my friends :)
