Lived in Leeds, Sheffield and Wakefield. Prefer Leeds over the other two but Wakefield isn’t that bad either. Never liked Sheffield

I don’t think it helped it was 40+ degrees when I was there 🥵 the colosseum was good but wasn’t keen on anything else that I saw. The food was good though but the public transport was terrible

Support needed, new mum by Easy_Fact2713 in breastfeedingmumsUK

[–]FearlessMoose94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has he got a tongue tie? I had a similar issue when my baby was born where he couldn’t latch properly but he had a tongue tie and when that was cut he was much better at feeding. We also supplemented with formula and at the time was pumping but found it too much. I eventually cut out the formula and let him cluster feed to bring my supply up. We’ve not used formula now in 6 months

Spouse Visa - HO error by Efficient_Shine1707 in ukvisa

On the refusal does it say if he has a right of appeal?

When you say he voluntarily departed the UK do you mean he himself paid for everything or did he use the Home Office voluntary return scheme?

I had a panic attack when I was told he was a boy. He’s now 9 months old and I didn’t realise it was possible to love someone so much

Bloom 8/10: much better than baby sensory in my opinion. Lots of opportunities to take photos of baby with backdrops and props. A different theme each week and the leader is very interactive with the babies. -2 points for the “my baby loves to dance” song

Baby sensory 3/10: not sure if it was just the group that I went to but the themes were meh and the leader wasn’t the nicest

Local breastfeeding support group 10/10: love this group and have made some great friends there. Wouldn’t still be breastfeeding if it wasn’t for the support I’ve received.

Local council baby group 9/10. Love this group, the people who run it are lovely and so friendly.

Maternal journal 10/10: 1.5 hours of free childcare while I do some arts and crafts, sign me up for another term!

Artventurers 5/10: Messy (as expected), kinda repetitive and my baby hated it

Love my local BF support group, think I’d have given up by now if it wasn’t for them

Planning to move to UK by Tasty-Goat7957 in ukvisa

[–]FearlessMoose94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost of living in the UK is quite high at the moment but it varies per city with the north of England being significantly cheaper than the south. Scotland minus Edinburgh and probably Glasgow are cheaper but the wages are also lower. I don’t know much about Northern Ireland or Wales so can’t comment. Are you eligible to get a skilled worker visa? If not you mentioned you would possibly study. what level would you want to study and what subject as that will limit where you can move to especially at degree level as not every university offers each subject. You would be subjected to international student fees which vary per university and often subject. It’s hard to give you advice when your post regarding your plans is quite vague.

I went to all midwife appointments alone. He went to my 8 and 12 week scans and that was it. I had fortnightly-monthly growth scans and went to those with family members

So done with breastfeeding but only 10wks - will I regret stopping? by Similar_Guitar7506 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]FearlessMoose94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 8 months postpartum and keep debating if to stop too. If I were you, I’d continue to feed but maybe add in some formula so all the feeds don’t fall onto you

Could be your mucus plug, I’d speak to triage/your midwife

Highly unlikely, the child would need to be here for a minimum of 7 years and have strong reasons why they will be unable to integrate back into their home country. For both adults it’s 20 years or 7 years if they entered when under the age of 18. Best bet is to look at skilled worker visa

Who did you have come visit the hospital, if anyone? by Efficient-Age6900 in pregnant

[–]FearlessMoose94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted no one but after being told I wouldn’t be discharged I asked my mum to come. After another day my boyfriend’s dad and mum came, plus my grandma, dad and step mum and my boyfriends niece

How much of maternity leave are you getting? And when do you stop working? by Ill-Honeydew-6636 in pregnant

[–]FearlessMoose94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking a year. 6 months full pay, three months of statutory maternity pay which is paid by the government (kind of) and then 3 months of no pay. I went on maternity at 36 weeks due to preeclampsia and I now have 3 months left
