i wanted to put this on the obesity subreddit because its more topical there, but I want to know if there's any real studies being done on this because it seems like it could be a significant factor

so this starts from the data from the Dutch famine, where there's a significant correlation epigenetically between starvation and obesity (among other things) when inflicted during gestation, iirc especially during the first trimester

since a lot of women have body image issues because of societal reasons, there's a large amount of people who live in a calorie deficit. if they get pregnant while in a calorie deficit, it would increase that babies odds of becoming obese or developing schizophrenia, especially if they dont know theyre pregnant yet. on top of that becoming fat from pregnancy is still stigmatised for some reason there's probably a lot of people who are eating less than they should their whole pregnancy, and then having an obese child.

idk it just seems like that could be a large contributor to the increased obesity rates, especially in the US where those unattainable body standards are really socially enforced.

I'm gonna keep researching,, I still only have a surface level understanding

so ive been googling about this,,

​

so far I have ruled out Brian (for obvious reasons) and the Uychichs (unless its part of Brian being the keyboard), tom warren, drew (forgot his last name lol), and ciaran O'Donnell (again unless its the keyboard)

​

I'm pretty confident that its a real xylophone but I guess it could just be a setting on a keyboard? my current opinion is its just part of the keyboard role, but those xylophone riffs would be so fun to play on the real thing so I hope its real

​

anyone have an idea?

this is kind of everywhere but I need to think someone reading this knows what I'm feeling

i don't need medical advice BC I know all I can do is drink water and take nsaids and whatever and ask my doctor for the millionth time to refer me to a gynaecologist/endocrinologist or whatever he thinks

im 50/50 if I have endo or not but I didn't really think it mattered for me right now because I've been on T (ftm) for a while and haven't had a period

its agony

for some reason I got a period randomly on a road trip and my whole body hurts so much more than usual (hEDS + POTS)

i heard endo can heighten pain sensitivity

i feel like every time I have an accidental period it gets worse, the only thing helping is my cat being positioned on the evil organ

i just want to cry because it feels like its never going to go away
