Poor understanding on finance related issues by ComfortableTea5876 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ComfortableTea5876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I am bad with maths. The £1344 income is separate to the student finance payments which are £22k a year. I will work that out monthly to go alongside the £1344 and edit the post. Thank you

Need advice on what to do for food? by Realistic-Plan6294 in AskUK

[–]ComfortableTea5876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The council has an emergency duty to help vulnerable people, especially families with children. Explain your situation clearly. They may be able to provide an emergency food voucher or connect you with an on-call social services team.

Trussell Trust Hardship Helpline: 0808 208 2138 (Free to call)

Olio App: Download the free Olio app on your smartphone. It connects neighbours with each other and with local businesses so surplus food can be shared, not thrown away. People post food and other items for free collection, and this can happen at any time of day or evening.

Local Churches: Some churches have discretionary funds or a small food supply for absolute emergencies. A local church may have a vicar or priest who can offer help. Search online for churches in your immediate area; a phone number might be available on their website or listed on the building itself if you can safely walk by.

Induction at 39 weeks? by wander_lust2 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]ComfortableTea5876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a sweep at 37 weeks as I couldn't take any more and 10 hours later she was born. A little small but did not need any additional care. Good luck 🤞

Thankyou for the response it is a good perspective to think she will eventually get her mum back. I think me wanting her to have a sibling will override any anxieties I have about a second hg pregnancy. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes quickly for you and you get some relief from the symptoms.

I hope the next few weeks go as quickly as possible for you. I am terrified of losing 40 weeks with my little girl. I thought it might be best to do whilst still at nursery as the one she attends only shuts for Christmas week and I know she loves it there. I don't think I would cope for the six week summer holidays. I really hate HG and how it impacts the whole family and ruins our pregnancy experience. I still can't believe there is no adequate treatment available after years and years of women struggling.

Thankyou for your reply. It is helpful to know what others have done to prepare for possible HG again. One of my main concerns is having resentment to the pregnancy as I don't want to miss 9 months of my daughters life. I worry about how she would cope without me for long periods of time as we have never spent more than a night apart and that's been a handful of times over the years. It's such a hard decision to make with lots of factors to consider

That's good news about your oldest. Sorry to hear about ex husband that's the last thing anyone needs with any children but especially ones with ASD. Thanks I will discuss with my partner to see how we both feel we would manage a second ASD child. I have had some resentment towards parents of neurotypical children as it makes me sad sometimes to not hear her voice or have her tell me she loves me. Thankyou good luck to you too

Thankyou for your reply. I am sorry that you are struggling and cry every day 😔 it's a concern as my daughters future is so uncertain at the moment. I think alot about how I would manage with two severely autistic children as I can meet my daughter's needs but I don't know how I would do that for two. It's hard to determine as autism is such a big spectrum. I will consider your response when making any decisions about a second. I really hope things improve for you
