I wasn't really feeling it, honestly. I was expecting way more, probably because I was hoping for some Seinfeld vibes Wild Wave with those surfing penguins is way, way better. 👍 Even compared to everything else I’ve watched over the last six months—like Ratatouille, Shrek 3, or Uncle Sam... man, Wild Wave is hands down the absolute best.

Well, if Dr. Miller is there now, then it’s totally fine.
Alright, fine, maybe I'll actually go then. I never really saw anything from that Dr. Kincl guy but ... back when I was pregnant, I was seeing people privately and needed a referral for the Mayo Clinic, so my husband basically "signed me up" with him and handled all my paperwork (by the way, the pregnancy was absolutely perfect). He asks for a referral, the doctor just glances at the files and goes—"looks like premature labor, get ready to head to the hospital early." 🙄 And he was spot on! I went into labor four days ahead of schedule. 🤣 After he gave me that diagnosis, I didn't even want to step foot in that place again, so I did everything through private doctors. But hey, if this Dr. Miller is decent, I might just give it another shot (last time I stopped by my GP, I noticed they finally renovated the OB-GYN wing).
Look, if you’re feeling great and totally healthy, I honestly don't get why you'd even bother trying to gain weight just because people are nitpicking your body. 😕 Personally, I've always been on the petite side with a crazy fast metabolism—I'm about 5'3" and barely hit 100 pounds. When people call me "too thin," it's usually just folks who are my height but carrying an extra 45 pounds or so. 😉 During my pregnancy, I gained about 55 pounds, and it all happened naturally in just a few months. A lot of this stuff really just comes down to your genetics and build. I ended up back at my original weight, but thanks to some Pilates, I completely reshaped how I look. Bottom line? Getting active is always a winning move.
dustycanyon6 said:Lactose intolerance and milk allergies are two totally different things.
Look, I know that! I’ve been saying all along that I can't handle milk, 😉 but his allergy tests came back negative. When he ended up with an upset stomach, it clicked for me—he’s dealing with the exact same thing I am. I honestly don't get why that comment was even made; I never said an allergy and an intolerance were the same thing. If they were, they wouldn't have different names, right? 🙄 I only brought up allergies because of my brother, who started developing allergies to basically everything during high school (though not to milk)
So what, his bone just snapped by itself?! Just because he was a clumsy kid and broke a bone doesn't mean milk isn't healthy.
I never once said milk isn't healthy. You're totally misreading me and grouping me in with those people who were arguing about that earlier—I wasn't one of them. I don't drink milk because my body won't let me. And as for my brother, he was breaking bones left and right in totally normal situations. Like, he'd be hanging out on a park bench, slip, and break his arm. It wasn't some crazy extreme scenario. Let me repeat: I didn't say milk isn't healthy, but I live perfectly fine and healthy without it. Besides, it’s honestly exhausting debating whether milk is "good" or not in a thread meant for people who skip it because their bodies can't process it, not because of some "higher cause." For those of us with lactose intolerance, it doesn't matter if milk is nutritious or not because we aren't touching it anyway.
I had him tested for allergies because I insisted on it, but everything came back clear. Though, people say at such a young age, allergies just don't show up on tests yet. I figured out through elimination that it was definitely the milk. It’s funny because my husband used to love giving him chocolate cereal for dinner, and I was always against it—I just had this gut feeling it wouldn't sit right with him. Then the symptoms started popping up, so we began cutting things out one by one. During a checkup with our doctor, my husband brought up the chocolate cereal, and she straight-up told him that stuff is a pile of garbage 🤣 (poor guy looked so crushed 😬). That same day, he made him some cornmeal porridge with buttermilk. The second the little guy took a bite, his stomach flipped, and I knew instantly he had the exact same issue I do. So, I cut out all other dairy products too, and he hasn't had a single issue—he hasn't even had a cough in these last 2 years 🙏 By the way, I haven't touched milk since I was a tiny kid. My bones have never broken. My brother, on the other hand, grew up on milk. He absolutely loves it and used to chug it by the gallon, but he was constantly breaking bones growing up—he even had to have surgery once. So, this whole theory about milk being essential for bone health doesn't hold any water based on what I know from my own life. Oh, and my brother also has allergic asthma that wasn't caught until way too late (his allergies didn't flare up until high school)
Grace Rodriguez10 said:so how long did it take before those bronchitis issues actually cleared up? i'm thinking about ditching dairy for a bit to see if my lungs react any differently. are you guys still doing yogurt, cottage cheese, whatever...?
He started drinking chocolate milk when he was about a year old. After that—not instantly, but pretty soon—he was constantly dealing with bronchitis and needing nebulizers. Once it flared up again after a few months (who even knows how many times!), I just cut out the dairy entirely. That was it. The problems vanished immediately and haven't come back once in the two years since! No yogurt, no cottage cheese. He eats that processed cheese on pizza or toast, but honestly, that's super rare. Anything else that usually needs milk, like muesli or stuff like that, we just make with Silk Soy Milk or something similar.
casualfox9 said:If people can't handle dairy, why on earth would they bother with all these milk knockoffs? Like soy milk... why deal with that weird soy taste when you could just eat actual soy? What's the big deal? Does anyone actually *need* to drink milk?
Look, soy milk isn't even real milk in any sense of the word.🙄 It's just liquid made from processed soy, kind of like how you get fruit juice. NO, you don't have to drink "milk," not even soy milk, but how am I supposed to eat my muesli or Corn Flakes without it? Plus, I drink Silk Soy Milk because it's healthy. It's not some "replacement" for me just because I feel like I have to.
Look, I’m telling you this from firsthand experience. My son was constantly dealing with allergies—bronchitis, nebulizers, the whole nine yards—and I was just totally over it. We did all the allergy tests and everything came back negative, which made zero sense. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and start cutting out potential triggers myself. We ended up ditching his chocolate cereal, which was basically his only source of dairy, and honestly? Total game changer. It’s been complete peace ever since. He hasn't even had a cough in two years because we haven't touched milk. I am 100% certain that was the culprit. I can't stand milk, my mom can't stand it either, and it looks like he definitely inherited those genes.
I’m obsessed with soy pudding—my little one absolutely devours it! 😁 Personally, I can't stand yogurt. The smell alone makes my stomach turn. (Seriously, it was such a disaster when I got a bad sunburn and my husband actually tried to rub yogurt on my skin 😬) It's such a bummer we don't have those soy yogurts here. Has anyone seen them over in Austria or somewhere?
How do you guys handle eating out at restaurants, bakeries, or cafeterias where they don't really list the ingredients?
It's tough. The absolute worst is when they sneak dairy into pastries or bread 👎 Or when I grab a bag of snack puffs thinking they're plain, only to realize they're cheese-flavored once I've already ripped them open and started snacking on the bus 🤣
I’ve dealt with this issue forever. I don't touch milk, yogurt, or any other dairy products. I usually go for the Silk soy milk with added calcium—it works wonders for me—and that soy blend with almond and hazelnut is also top-tier. 👍Way back in the day, you could actually find soy yogurt at Walmart and it was absolute perfection,🙏 but they haven't carried it for ages. I've messed around with oat and rice milk too; they're totally fine once you get used to the taste.
Michael Jones23 said:I don't think you're totally hitting the nail on the head here. Look, if she just started drinking them for the very first time, you've gotta give it some real time before those pills actually kick in and start doing their thing. Like, when I first started on Diane, it took me a solid three months before I felt anything at all!
I've seriously never heard of that before. Never even read about it! Check out this link:
It says right here that everything kicks off on day one! Check the second paragraph—it’s all laid out there.
I know that clinic is private, just like how Dr. Kuvačić handles things at Kuva and Dr. Šimunić does at the IVF center, but I honestly thought they had a location over at St. Jude’s too!
My two-year-old son is absolutely obsessed with The Incredibles. We actually have the dubbed version, which I honestly think is great, even though I usually can't stand dubbing. The first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is yell, "Mom! Where's my awesome superhero suit?!" 😁 My favorite cartoon is 👍
Chloe Nguyen3 said:Does anyone know why Dr. Harni shut down her forum?😢
It felt a little weird to me too, but check out this link The doctor actually reached out and tried to explain things. I just had an appointment recently, and let me tell you, she is absolutely slammed! She’s super busy, but I’m really hoping she gets everything organized soon so the forum can get back to normal. Honestly, for all her patients, the email replies are still coming in lightning fast! 👍
Look, Chlamydia is totally treatable during pregnancy with an antibiotic like Erythromycin. And honestly, Austin Chavez76 is dead wrong when she claims it’s basically incurable—that’s just plain false. You can wipe it out easily with the right meds. Austin Chavez76 clearly hasn't dealt with it herself, and neither have I. But hey, when I make a claim, I actually do my homework first. 😉
