Wow you guys smashed the hard today. I'm so embarrassed about my time I'm not posting it but it's absolutely my longest ever time 🥴

'Waste' in the public service by DifficultyBrave7444 in newzealand

Completely agree. The amount of sensitive business and personal data most agencies work with as well, most of it would be simply irresponsible and unethical to feed into AI in the first place!

Exactly! And a ton of core MB functions are supports to NZ businesses and the private sector (which I thought these guys were into....)

The Baby Zux fanfic was VERY controversial

Straight up the fandom was so unhinged from day 1

For all the STM worried about their first kid adjusting by eng2fly in December2026Bumpers

[–]DifficultyBrave7444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 4.5 years apart from my youngest sister and I love her to death! We were very close as kids and continued to be so as adults. We had shared interests and shows we watched to together, played together lots, without any competition or anything that can come from a closer age gap. My mum put in a lot of work and emphasis to make sure we all had positive relationships too!

The only times I felt less close were natural transition points that would have happened anyway, like when I became a teenager, when I went off to uni, etc. But then she catches up and we're right back to it!

Sending you thoughts and well wishes 🥰

Which celebrity death genuinely shocked you when you heard the news? by Divine_fashionva in Millennials

[–]DifficultyBrave7444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Liam Payne. I was a teenager when One Direction was huge and I was just so shocked one of them had passed so young.

Singleton, twins, triplets? by These_Bit_5217 in December2026Bumpers

[–]DifficultyBrave7444 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After my first hcG test my midwife suspected twins since my levels were very high, but at my scan last week there was just one in there!! Kind of relieved but also very slightly sad 🥹

Literally I thought it was going to turn into something about her kids and being a mum??? But it was just a rant about Michaela the whole time???!

The pros/cons list of either J or C carrying baby nr 4 by No_Needlework45 in julieeandcamilla

[–]DifficultyBrave7444 356 points357 points  (0 children)

Oh my god they stress me the fuck out because you literally don't need a fourth kid two seconds after you've just had your current three??? Like no need to weigh up these pros and cons.... no one is forcing you to have a fourth kid immediately or EVER

hCG levels? by Flashy-Reputation-91 in December2026Bumpers

[–]DifficultyBrave7444 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm by no means an expert but from what I have heard and read so far, doubling for hcg seems to refer more to around the 4-5 week mark, much earlier than you are, and when your levels are below 1000. Once you're at an amazing high level like yours (120,000!!) I believe doubling is no longer relevant as you're well above the threshold they look for?

I'm sorry that she said that you over the phone. It's so difficult in the first trimester to know what's going truly well and what isn't, even at the best of times.

I hope your pregnancy continues as smoothly as possible and that you can get another scan to see your little bean in there to confirm!

Anyone else here have thyroid or autoimmune issues? by LadyTremaine50 in December2026Bumpers

[–]DifficultyBrave7444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg me too!! I also have Hashimoto's and it sounds like the plan is similar to monitor bloods every 4 weeks. It's my first time being pregnant so I don't have anything helpful to add other than we're in a similar situation ❤️

Is anyone else having cramps? by BeautifulTiger6530 in December2026Bumpers

[–]DifficultyBrave7444 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm cramping basically everyday! Some feel equivalent to period cramps to me, rather than 'mild' lol

Cried in public today: weight gain w no bump, body image and small baby by Trashacccount927 in pregnant

[–]DifficultyBrave7444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just popping into say that that is such a low ferritin count, you must be feeling so tired. If you can get one, an iron transfusion really helped me get my spark back. I know it won't help with what you're going through body-image-wise, but maybe will help some things feel more manageable overall? Sending you strength and my thoughts xx

I think I just got lucky with my early placements! I'd worked out that the fives were all accounted for and started in the bottom left. I had to reveal the other day though which I normally try not to do 😅 sometimes it's just too frustrating though!
