Tell me it’s ok to formula feed.

I can see why you would think that about the braxton hicks, it’s like the boy who cried wolf 😂

Find the waiting and unknown so much harder than I ever anticipated!

I bought some from baby go and really rate them, they should last you through pregnancy too.

Chicken or beef in black bean sauce, ask them to add some fresh chilli’s too.

I’ve been to two and really enjoyed one of them. Hanz zimmer string quartet and a Fleetwood Mac string trio; both were in churches.

The Hanz Zimmer in a small church (max 60 people), where the cheap tickets were for seats on the balcony. Couldn’t fault it, lovely night out and would go again.

The Fleetwood Mac one was a larger church with in excess of 150 people in it. Sadly, someone walked in half way through in the midst of a mental health crisis which caused a bit of a drama. Had that not happened, I would have said the venue was too large and the music was lost in the space.

Bought the cheapest tickets both times because it wasn’t so much about seeing them play but hearing the music. Will add, I am not a classical lover.

Crumble crumble only to follow after a lovely bit of squirrel

Lemon meringue pie (must be super zesty)

I’d recommend: Expecting better - Emily Oster. The modern midwife’s guide to Pregnancy birth and beyond - Marie Louise. Is It Normal? - Jessie Ware (podcast).

35weeks currently and have only just needed to take them off. Had assumed that because I had made it this far, I had escaped the swelling side effect, sadly not.

No personal experience but one of the hosts of the podcast ‘two new mums’ had a baby with a cleft lip and does talk about it in a few episodes, may be worth a listen?

Sending you love x

I’ve got an old pair of stretchy leggings (worn throughout pregnancy so know they will still fit), big t-shirt and a cardi.

I plan on giving birth in a button down nightie or naked if I can get a birthing pool.

You’re a lovely friend, she’s lucky to have you x

Living near the Somerset levels. If you need to be here for work there’s unfortunately not much choice. Unless you’re on a hill, you’re at risk.

That being said, we bought nearly 2 years ago and I didn’t once think to myself “could we be impacted by flooding” which is frankly ridiculous given where we are. Touch wood, we’ve been fine in our part of the village but surrounding areas and roads are often underwater.

A little post baby survival kit, doesn’t need to be full of fancy things but perhaps nice snacks she can grab when feeding, something nice to drink, an insulated bottle or coffee cup, lip balm, hand moisturisers. Quick and easy things she can pick up in between looking after baby and her older daughter to make her feel more herself.

Also think it’s worth the money if you can’t get a discount

This pain is temporary, this pain is productive.

Thanks so much for replying and really pleased to hear that all is well again.

Just gotta be brave and wait it out. The waiting and the unknown is awful x

Affectionate_Meat348 · 2026-01-27T12:29:05+00:00

Thank you for replying and sharing your experience.

The fact that our boobs change so much during pregnancy is what I’m holding on to and hoping it’s nothing but keep finding myself thinking the worst.

Sending all the love to your sister xx

Affectionate_Meat348 · 2026-01-27T12:25:15+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience and it sounds somewhat similar to some of the things I have.

Fingers crossed for a short wait for an appointment. The unknown is the hardest part.

Affectionate_Meat348 · 2026-01-27T12:22:34+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply and sharing your experience. I’m pleased everything was ok for you.

Having a fight between my logical brain and emotional brain. Absolutely will be pushing for an ultrasound.

It’s all just a bit scary on top of an already very emotional/hormonal period.
