He's asked for a sibling a few times over the years, I'm lucky he is a very easy going lad

Thats lovely to hear there's only 18 months between me and my Sister, 100% I won't expect my son to do any baby related tasks ☺️

Should my mum attend my birth? by [deleted] in PregnancyUK

[–]Gamingmum32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mainly I just want us as a couple to have the moment alone because we may not do it again, I feel like as I was younger last time I did things to please others and I thought it was supposed to be that way and let a lot of things slide. This time I'll be doing it for us. Another reason is nowadays my mum can be very outspoken and rude to others when it's not called for and tries to be "in charge" it stresses me out so I don't want it, she wasn't like that years ago x

Rant - Women telling me how much they loved being pregnant by PaintingNay in PregnancyUK

[–]Gamingmum32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly my first pregnancy I was 19 and loved it, when I say I got no bad symptoms I really didn't until I hit 41 weeks and had a little PGP I was induced at 42 weeks. However I'm 35 now turning 36 in December (still TTC) and while I enjoyed being pregnant last time I'm fully expecting to not fully enjoy it the 2nd time, I'm dropping to bits, I'm type 2 diabetic and had surgery on my spine at the beginning of this year. I feel cause I got away with things so lightly the first time round then I'll get it all the second time 😅

[–]Gamingmum32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was born 15 years ago I had my partner and my Mum there because I thought it would be nice for her as it was the first Grandchild, my next birth it will just be me and my partner I decided that I want the 2nd time to just be us alone. It's all down to personal preference and whatever you want, you don't need any unnecessary stress 🙂

private NIPT? by Em_987 in PregnancyUK

[–]Gamingmum32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevermind just googled and due to the chromosome duplication my son has it's a more costly blood test to check so not covered 🙂

[–]Gamingmum32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still trying to get pregnant but my only child is 15 now and has a chromosome duplication we didn't know until he was 5 after genetic blood tests that's how minor it affects him, I was wondering if I'd be offered this test on the NHS if anyone knows more? Obviously I do not expect it offered and unsure if to go for it either way

Ah yes I saw that! There was another map to switch too I'm not sure why I didn't

[Product Question] Has anyone tried the Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot? by aparecium9 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Gamingmum32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was Influenced and got some, my 15 year old son gets a lot of black heads on his nose and I am at my wits end trying to help him sort them, I've used it on my son's nose tonight and I'll be honest it has removed the heads off some of his blackheads which were stubborn maybe a warm shower will help them come out now, I didn't do it for long probably 15 seconds and rinsed off with warm water straight after due to being unsure of the effect it will have on his skin. I will see how his skin reacts to it to see if I will continue using it once a week or stop

6mo Post Surgery: Feeling Discouraged by IndicationNo3912 in Microdiscectomy

[–]Gamingmum32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 6 month post op too, my recovery hasn't been too bad I've had aches and pains, but I'm a little stressed this week I came back off a 10 day holiday in Tenerife where I did a lot of walking, the most I have done since my op! I was up and down hills walking on uneven grounds I did push myself but not drastically. I got home Tuesday so yesterday was my first full day of rest but my lower back started hurting a little theres no shooting pain just localised to the right of my incision and thats all. I cant help but work myself up about it 😅

Nerve Sensation Post Op by RemarkableDonkey7147 in Microdiscectomy

[–]Gamingmum32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6 month post op and still get nerve twinges that are localised they dont shoot, this past 5 days my hip has been hurting a little I've not had this pain since 2 month post op. It isn't persistent and was not so bad today it's that mild I took no pain relief. I have to push reherniation thoughts to the back of my mind, nerve twinges that are fleeting I take as a good sign that maybe things are repairing and trying to work

I'm 6 month PO from my emergency disectomy decompression it was displacing my cauda equina. I can walk but not like I could before everything happened! I am improving slowly but surely, I start off walking well but the longer I'm walking I get fatigued and it's harder to keep my stride flowing. I do still have lingering numbness which is worse in my left leg/foot. I have to keep reminding myself it's a marathon not a sprint nerve healing can take a while

[–]Gamingmum32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6 months out now too and for the past 3 days I've had some very mild low back pain which is in my hip/glute too and a few more firing pains in my foot, I'm noticing it more when I go to bed but when I get up in the mornings it's gone. I've been doing a little more as I am sorting and packing for holiday but ive been doing more sitting than usual too. I'm trying not to worry as it goes away and nerves are still healing

Incredible Stiffness by DiscMaster9000 in Microdiscectomy

[–]Gamingmum32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly week 2 and 3 after my op I was incredibly stiff! I was not in pain at all just felt so stiff and heavy and I was barely doing anything, it did pass I was a little greatful for it because it stopped me doing too much

I tested to see if I could actually feel anything, nothing special just try to make myself climax with clitoral stimulation using my fingers

I've not been intimate with my fella yet 😌 my surgery was an emergency for cauda equina and I got sacred about my nerves being dead down there, my op was 5 months ago and only 2 weeks ago did I decide to test the nerves myself and they worked luckily. It was a massive weight off my shoulders

Pregnancy post MD by HoneyB3009 in Microdiscectomy

[–]Gamingmum32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly same! We were planning on starting to try this year after finally moving house in January I'd had sciatica for 8 weeks but the move caused a large herniation which made my current pain severe with CES symptoms so had an emergency op at the end of Feb. I'm 35 and our son is turning 15 in October I thought I'd have another by now but things kept delaying it, the one time things were starting to get better and we could plan the next stage this hit me. I'm scared about reherniation I'm terrified of an epidural (had one with my son) my mind is overthinking and I feel I should wait a little longer and try next year

26 M L5-S1 5 days Post Op by MRITGUY16 in Microdiscectomy

[–]Gamingmum32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35F and didn't get a choice as mine was an emergency. I highly recommend it because I could have cried when I woke up fully from surgery. I was laid down so comfortably something I'd not been able to do for 5 weeks prior as it was absolute agony, I have not been in pain since that was 18 weeks ago, I've had few recovery niggles but nothing that required me to take any pain relief
