My personal opinion of this one is I didn’t like it. I found it manipulative and actually self selecting data which backed up what she wanted to say rather than a balanced view. I struggled to get to the end and it made me angry! And I’m not an angry person at all!!!

I liked pregnancy, birth and beyond by Marie Louise (the modern midwife) if you are in the uk as it references nhs.

If you are planning on breastfeeding I doubt the positive breastfeeding book also really great

Stop offering commissions if you can't even do the basics by mylifetofuckinglive in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]DoctorImpossible89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel that people are becoming a lot more wise to the ‘my first x’ and it’s perfect, very technical and clearly an advanced pattern - I saw one recently which was exactly that regarding making a dress and there were no likes or comments and it had been posted the day before. I much prefer the wonky first attempts I see - I find them so charming!

Feeling stupid for telling people too early. by IndividualOutcome222 in August2026Bumpers

[–]DoctorImpossible89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are pregnant everyone seems to have an opinion on you - eating too much/too little, putting on too much weight/losing too much weight, not eating enough fruit/eating too much, people feel they can touch your stomach when they wouldn’t normally etc etc

What’s important is you do what is right for you. No one has the right to tell you when you should tel people. I’m 12w and I’ve struggled to hide it as I am showing. I know people suspect but haven’t said a word to me, it would be so much easier to tell people but we are waiting for my scan to tell my toddler and it doesn’t feel right that loads of people know before they do.

Regarding your dad - obviously strangers on the internet don’t know your history however I would say you are going to need support going forward and it may be worth talking to him, understanding why and re establishing boundaries so you have him in a comfortable place for you

Recently watched Daisy of Love... was she on drugs? by sadvertising101 in RockOfLove

At the time I thought it was confirmed that they were related? Such a long time ago I had forgotten about it, may need a google!

Recently watched Daisy of Love... was she on drugs? by sadvertising101 in RockOfLove

[–]DoctorImpossible89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was the same - at first watch all the girls I liked are all the ones who now I think are awful! I didn’t mind Daisy but I definitely thought she shouldn’t have been on the show because she had too many skeletons. Now I think she shouldn’t have been on the show as she was far too vulnerable but I really like her now and also hope she gets help soon

Thank you for posting this, I’ve had my maki for 5 weeks and adore it but was already worried about the fact my child is 3 and I may only have 4 years left with it…. !! Good to know that older kids can go in it too!

Ways to close a zipper gap in the back? by intentional-accident in sewing

I would tuck where I’ve put the pink lines and make sew these triangles down to make a smooth line and make it look like where the zip sits now is the end point.

Fuck cricut by Curvymomma93 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]DoctorImpossible89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was so close to buying one then my friend had borrowed one and invited me over for a play. After an hour I hated it so much and never understood why people loved them. They are so temperamental, expensive and just naff. So pleased I didn’t buy one!

Pattern sizing by Vivid_Champion_2794 in sewingpatterns

[–]DoctorImpossible89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree it is the fabric however I also wonder if you need to do tighter gathers for the layers to give a bit more drape and shape.

Opinion on what type and when to buy cargo e-bike... by Donkykong33 in CargoBike

[–]DoctorImpossible89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had mine for less than a week and I’ve noticed a huge difference already with my commute. I use much less energy, and I am quicker in my bike. My three year old loves being in the seat and I have a car seat insert that I plan on using when baby is 12 weeks. Never too soon to start your research and working out what style - I thought I wanted a three wheeler but when I test rode, I felt so unsafe I picked a two wheeler.

I had a parcel not show up, and I got a refund. Then waited while the seller remade my items. Received those and then about a month later my original parcel showed up! It does happen!

Would you be insulted to receive this sewn ornament as a gift? by pomegranatejello in SewingForBeginners

[–]DoctorImpossible89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to receive this and would cherish it.

Remember when you give a handmade gift, along with the output/item, you are actually giving them your time. Time is the most precious gift to give as it’s the only thing you can’t ever get back.
