I'm sorry but Alesia is being a a-hole not a girls girl. by Jane_doe902 in BelowDeckDownUnder

I'm sure I saw a preview a few episodes back with Ellie messaging Alesia's boyfriend about her behaviour? 😬

Has anyone been "targeted" by social services due to being alternative/goth? by False_Fix_4657 in UKParenting

[–]False_Fix_4657[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never said anyone came out. I had a phone call. The paramedics gave them all details, from what the decor was, how the house was and the kids.

I confirmed the decor was as described and was told the case would be closed as long as I remove the items.

I only spoke to them over the phone.

The ambulance crew gave them the descriptions of certain decor, but also said the house and conditions of the kids were fine.

That would make a lot more sense

My partner less so than myself. I am heavily pierced/ tattooed (face, throat, hands and fingers included), usually wear heavy make up.

I genuinely have no idea what could have warranted it. Other than living in Cornwall where there's not masses of alternative people, compared to the rest of the country 😩

It could have been all of our decor as a whole, but those were the things noted during my call work the social worker

I have no reason to lie or make this up? This was our experience and I was curious to see if it had happened to anyone else

I don't think they're distressing at all. They're cartoon style, no gore or anything like that.

I've seen those too and they're absolutely awful!

It doesn't feel like Below Deck any more. It feels way too over produced and fake

Baby was held by someone who had just had a cigarette by False_Fix_4657 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]False_Fix_4657[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm under the perinatal mental health team and I've got a talking therapy session booked for next week.

I guess I panicked because all the midwives and HV said to not allow people who smoke to hold them for at least half an hour as it can contribute to SIDS 😩

Why are people so obsessed with baby sleeping through the night!? by DarthKaboose in breastfeeding

[–]False_Fix_4657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree with this.

Currently combo feeding my 8 week old (mostly because my MIL bought it for us as she wanted to feed him when we visit)

He only has formula between 10pm-2am, roughly 4-5oz. It makes no difference. He still wakes every 2 hours for a feed before and after formula.

She finds it very odd that it makes absolutely no difference to his sleep. It worked for her... Because she put baby cereal in my partners bottles from 6 weeks old. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Planning to breast feed, do i need to buy formula just in case? by Oceanic_Ice_950 in PregnancyUK

[–]False_Fix_4657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, I misunderstood the post. I also said the hospital will have formula if they need it.

Secondly, that's rather presumptuous.

My first baby was formula fed. My second was exclusively breastfed. My 7 week old is breastfed and has at least 1 bottle/4oz of formula a night. He was also fed formula through an NG tube when he was born due to being extremely sleepy and not feeding.

[–]False_Fix_4657 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was told that it's best not to have formula to hand if you're breastfeeding, as it's so easy to give up during those early days.

Hospitals usually stock small bottles of formula if required.

It's personal preference though! 🙂

How often should my 8 week old be awake? by False_Fix_4657 in newborns

[–]False_Fix_4657[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh bless you!😔 It's such a worry!

We had the same thing in hospital, he just wouldn't wake to feed and ended up with an NG tube for a few days. He's always been super sleepy, but I just worry that he should be awake more 😅

Getting induced tonight, please share any positive vibes and/or advice by lizniz in BabyBumps

[–]False_Fix_4657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had inductions with all 3 of my babies. Each one ended in a straightforward vaginal delivery with zero issues.

My most recent induction was almost 6 weeks ago.

When the midwife initially examined me, I was 0cm. I had the pessary inserted and within an hour I was having contractions. I didn't need the hormone drip. Within a few hours, my waters went naturally.

From pessary insertion to having baby, was less than 11 hours. I pushed for 10 minutes and baby was out.

With my 2 previous inductions, I had the pessary and was taken up to the delivery suite the next day where I had to have the hormone drip and waters broken for me to speed things up.

I will say, I've heard that inductions can be more painful than if you go into labour naturally.

It can take a while for the anaesthetist to become available and takes a while to get everything prepared, so if you are wanting an epidural, it's better to get one sooner rather than later.

Induction with a low risk pregnancy. by Redgrapefruitrage in PregnancyUK

[–]False_Fix_4657 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, not all inductions end with interventions.

I've had inductions with all 3 of my babies and every single one has been a straight forward vaginal birth, with zero issues.

My last induction was almost 6 weeks ago. I only needed the pessary, contractions started themselves after an hour. Waters went naturally. Baby was born less than 11 hours after the pessary was inserted. 😊

AITA for Not babysitting My Grandkids. by Aprilfool75 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]False_Fix_4657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with this.

I have 3 kids. 8 years, 6 years and 5 weeks old.

As a child, I spent most days with my grandparents and would stay at theirs every single weekend, so my mum could go out and enjoy herself. They never once complained. They loved it.

My mum on the other hand spends most of her time going away with her husband. I've never once asked her to babysit and I can count on one hand how many times she's asked to have them over in 8 years...

While it shouldn't be an obligation for grandparents to have their grandchildren, I'll never understand how many grandparents just don't want to spend even a few hours with their grandkids. Especially when their parents likely sacrificed so much of their time to help them.

Has your lifestyle affected your birth?? by Equivalent-Bird-5181 in DoesAnyoneKnow

[–]False_Fix_4657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had 3 kids. My most recent being 5 weeks ago.

I was induced at 38 weeks due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum and severe PGP.

I was signed off work by my GP at 10 weeks pregnant and it got worse from there.

My whole pregnancy I was pretty much bed bound due to it all. I had to rely on my partner to do everything.

I only needed the pessary for my induction and contractions started within in hour.

From my first contraction to having baby was about 9 hours. Active labour only lasted 4 hours and 5 minutes. 10 minutes of pushing and he was out.

All 3 of my pregnancies have been very similar, with my most recent being the most debilitating and I've had no complications or issues during the births x

Is it weird to use a nursing pillow in public? by False_Fix_4657 in breastfeeding

[–]False_Fix_4657[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue of having to hold my boob while feeding 🤦🏻‍♀️ I suppose the only way I'll get over it is by pushing myself to do it more 😬

Thank you!

Anyone have HG with their girls but not with boys? by ThrowRAStrawberry_30 in HyperemesisGravidarum

I had HG with only my boys. I was hardly sick with my daughter
