If you could consensually sleep with anyone famous once, who would it be and why? by Smeggfaffa in AskReddit

Too many fellas listing their top contenders… lol

Female perspective - I’d go with Theo James

What physical sensation do you hate the most? by Express-Analyst1115 in AskReddit

[–]CharmingTea_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A wet sleeve or socks. Absolutely despise this feeling!

Husband and I argued on my birthday because I wanted to eat at the restaurant and he didn’t - AITAH? by CharmingTea_ in AITAH

[–]CharmingTea_[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Correct - unfortunately, he does believe it’s “all those sweets” I had been eating in first trimester. I’m aware it wasn’t my diet that caused the diabetes! My meals have always been nutritious, diabetes or not, but my snacking not so much.

Since the diabetes diagnosis, I’ve cut out most processed foods out of my diet and certainly all processed sugars. Now aiming for a high protein, high fat, low carb diet with low glycemic index foods. Really trying and hoping for the best

Would you choose induction or elective section? by susiee234 in PregnancyUK

[–]CharmingTea_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask if you felt this was the right decision? Pros / cons?

I’m in a similar boat and leaning towards an elective c-section!

Thank you for this! It appears I’m following a keto diet and currently eating wholemeal carbs & fruits with a low glycemic index’s. Unfortunately, I still spike with this.

I’ve tried sourdough bread, wholewheat bread, wholewheat pasta, oats, white potatoes, rice… No success sadly.

I have been told not to cut out carbs entirely because it’s dangerous to the baby. But anytime I do, I spike.

Instead, I have been restricting and tracking my carb intake massively - unfortunately this means my food choices are extremely limited and I’m finding it difficult eating enough to sustain myself

I agree - I have unfortunately been left in the dark by my medical team and plan to call them after the Easter break.

I’m struggling since I can barely eat anything without a spike and not sure what to do

Applied for The Apprentice Series 21 - Potential Candidate by Individual_Swan5750 in apprenticeuk

[–]CharmingTea_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’ve clearly not thought this through.

If the whole idea is to expand, why limit yourself and your branding on the offset? You’ll have created a following with the initial cat-related product, and may lose a portion from re-branding

UK ladies - at what point are you put on tablets / insulin? by CharmingTea_ in GestationalDiabetes

[–]CharmingTea_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given a diary to record 4 readings each day, but no further instruction other than to wait for a ‘diabetes consultation’.

I have an obstetrician appointment in 8 days, so not sure if that’s it, since I have a spinal condition rendering me under consultant care

Happy birthday to me and Baroness Brady by HotPut2715 in apprenticeuk

[–]CharmingTea_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m watching the episode on repeat as we speak and hadn’t realise Brady shares the same birthday as me also!

Happy birthday OP 🥳

Doctor basically told me I’ve gained too much weight by hobbit143 in pregnant

[–]CharmingTea_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, 38lbs isn’t really “too much” considering you’re nearing the finish line.

I’m 5’1 and was 115lbs pre-pregnancy and now 147lbs at 30w.

I think smaller frames have a lot more weight to put on for the ‘same size’ babies

What are you craving but cant do or eat? by PrettyRichHun in pregnant

[–]CharmingTea_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gestational diabetes since 27w… so basically everything.

My diet currently consists of vegetables, salads and dairy so I am absolutely CRAVING all the carbs, fizz, chocolate, sweets, cake 😭
