I just got my first Air Frier

It's 5L, so not huge but good for me and my partner.

What are you go to Air Frier recipes?

Any tips?

Since the moment I found out I was pregnant, I've been anxious about something.

First I was anxious before my first scan that the pregnancy was even viable.

Then anxious because I was so sick and lost weight from HG.

Then anxious because I had 0 symptoms and couldn't even feel the baby yet.

Then I had mild bleeding after sex and was diagnosed with partial previa.

I was so anxious being on pelvic rest that anything I do might make it worse or out me and baby at risk.

Now I'm 30 weeks and previa is resolved but baby is measuring small and I'm so worried about restricted growth and if he's getting enough oxygen/ nutrients etc. I have a follow up appointment in a few days and I'm worried that they will give me bad news.

I'm constantly worried that I'll lose the baby or he'll come early due to complications etc.

Is anyone else feeling the same? Like if I'm not worrying about 1 thing, I'm worrying about another.

- Nikolai (Niko or Kai?)

- Matteo (Matty or Teo?)

- Río

- Emilio (Lío)

- Other?

Middle name will be a fairly common family name (think George or Thomas)

He will be half Hispanic, half English family. Living in Spanish speaking country.

Never thought I would be the one to make this post.

We are going to have our first baby due in August.

I was going through our finances because I've been panicking about money.

I found 2 separate payments in April and May for the equivalent of OF content.

I confronted him and he lied about it until I was physically on the floor in tears begging for him to just tell me the truth.

I'm upset for so many reasons.

I already feel shit about my changing body and the weight I've gained.

I feel disrespected.

I feel like he is spending money on that when we are already struggling financially for the new baby to come.

I feel lied to.

I don't know what to do

I wouldnt care if it was just him looking at pornhub or soemthing but the fact he paid someone. And they only look about 18 and a "local" girl.

I'm really upset and don't know how to even proceed.

Hello.

I am diagnosed Bipolar and was previously on Lithium mood stablizer.

My psych and OB kept me on this until this week. As of week 30, I will be switching over to Seroquel XR (Quetiapine)

This is because Lithium isn't reccomended while breastfeeding and can cause high toxicity levels in baby. But apparently Seroquel is a safer option and will help with my sleep and to prevent Post Partum Psychosis.

I had a psychotic episode in my 20s so this is my number 1 concern.

Have any pregnant mamas had experience with this medication? How was your experience?

I put some potatoes to par boil. I was going to then put them in the fridge and fry them for dinner later.

I accidently forgot about them and overcooked them. Now they are falling apart.

I've put them on a pan in the fridge for the time.

What can I do with these potatoes for dinner? 🫠 🥔

Edit to add: potatoes have skins on them. So I could do mash but it would be dirty mash or I'd have to pick off skins first. 🤔

FTM at 29 weeks now. First baby due in July.

Sent my mom a text this morning wishing her a Happy Mothers day.

Had a short conversation and I jokingly asked if she was going to wish me a happy mother's day too?

She said "Why would I? You're not a mother yet!".

😕

Maybe she was joking. Or maybe I'm being too sensitive. But it made me cry. It felt like a really heartless thing to say.

We don't have the best relationship. I guess that makes it hurt more. Feels like sometimes she says these things to be purposefully hurtful. Being pregnant has really made me realise more how cruel she was to me growing up.

Anyone else experience anything similar? 😕

Anyway - wishing you all a beautiful day 💕 💐🌸

Pregnant with my first baby.

I've ordered a few different brands of pocket diapers to try out once baby is big enough.

Tomorrow I'm going to go to a local fabric store and look at what scraps they have for sale.

What materials should I be looking out for?

I would like things I can use as inserts. And also anything I can cut into individual reusable wipes.

What works? What to avoid?

Hello.

I am diagnosed Bipolar type 1.

I have had 2 manic episodes with psychosis (delusions, hallucinations, paranoia etc) and was hospitalised for both. I am currently medicated and mostly otherwise very high functioning.

I had an aunt who committed suicide when I was young. From what I've been told she was diagnosed with schizophrenia. This would have been in the late 90s. I'm wondering if I had the same symptoms in the 90s I would have been diagnosed schizophrenic and not "manic depressive".

I feel that maybe she had the exact same disorder as I have. But where is the line between bipolar today and what was once called schizophrenia?

I took a few classes of psychology in college 10+ years ago and we always learned about schizophrenia but never bipolar. Which seems strange seeing the prevalence of bipolar in comparison to schizophrenia.

Similarly, with the portrayal of John Nash's symptoms in A Beautiful Mind (I understand its a movie but based on reality). Feels very close to my own experiences with bipolar episodes of paranoia and delusions etc. Making connections, raising thoughts etc. Highs and lows. Is there a reason we consider him schizophrenic and not bipolar?

Thanks!

Looking for any resources to learn more latin american history / literature etc.

I'm probabaly high B1 or low B2 level. With decent reading and listening comprehension.

I would love to do an online course. With classes or lectures or assignments. But I don't know where to look?

Otherwise, does anyone have any good YouTube recommendations or other books or websites?

Thanks for your time.

Any reccomendations for podcasts covering the missing scientists? And new Area 51 info from this week?
