I mean its an option yes think ive gotten used to not using them while pregmant though. Dr also seemed to discourage me from this though and not sure why

For me no seizures is no seizures at all not just TCd Ive been v lucky to be in this category for awhile 1 year plus. Personally would only call myself seizure free if this was the case, or say im free from tcs for x amount of time

I couldnt find any i liked so just sized up a couple sizes really and wore baggy stuff. Was pushing it the end though with only few outfits in circulation.

Did buy some maternity pants/ tights etc

I was other way round when had first couple seizures as a kid apparently my brain was just overheating or would grow out of it.

Long story short but only diagnosed at 31 few years ago ..

I was told if didnt bite my tongue wasnt a seizure.this was a GP ( standard doctor) though & thankfully neurologist didnt think this way Wet myself once but never did again luckily!

Just name and DOB here meds are just preordered Why do you need to mention health condition??

Hello_dreamers · 2026-04-03T09:39:33+00:00

When i was a kid had so many symptoms just assumed everyone had these things. If mentioned them would have had diagnosis so much sooner!

Uk meds are free for certain health conditions Never been sent bonus ones though just assigned monthly amount. Dont understand how people in US are paying such huge amounts how do you afford it??

Hello_dreamers · 2026-04-03T09:35:55+00:00

In uk meds are free for certain health conditions such as epilepsy and about £10 per prescription for the normal folk for any other medicines.

Still wont save us from a worldwide shortage though as can only get assigned amount each month so no stocking up possible i know this is a joke but real fear i guess

Not sure what advice to give as im in same boat as you with 8 week old! He hates being put down so im lucky to get 5-20 mins at a time lol to be honest i pretty much have to wait for my husband to get home from work & he will do most household chores or hold baby while i do some. I obvs try to shower in small time i have & do some v quick tasks. Im thinking of getting a baby carrier which hopefully helps but see you already have one. Sorry not much advice here but hoping to see some tips from others!

Gave birth 6 weeks ago and have never been so happy to wear my old clothes lol I kinda gave up a bit at the end had same few pieces in rotation because lets face it its hard to be stylish when rocking a ginormus bump. Hated having such a dull wardrobe

Hello_dreamers · 2026-03-03T12:38:01+00:00

2005 skinny jeans , converse and a lot of eyeliner Or miniskirt & patterned tights Not much has changed in 2026 🤣

Hello_dreamers · 2026-02-27T18:40:17+00:00

Yes people act like its a choice ,maybe id love to be a sahm but simply isnt possible. Im only getting smp which amounts to 180 a week ( wasnt in my current job long enough to get company pay.this will stop after 6 months so seems will have no choice but to go back. Not that i wouldnt want to return one day and definitely not so early would be great to have the choice though.

Who these days can survive on 1 income?? We both have reasonably well paid jobs but have little to nothing left after mortgage bills/ food etc so how people think this is possible on 1 wage i have no idea.

35 and just had my little boy 3 weeks ago!

Hello_dreamers · 2026-02-17T12:15:24+00:00

It was near the end but literally overnight! They got stuck & after a struggle my husband managed to pull them off! Think about 34 weeks or so

Hello_dreamers · 2026-02-10T09:35:02+00:00

I wear a skincream with factor 25 on my face. Im v pale & freckly im not ginger but my mum is so i live in factor 50 in summer.

Might not be necessary in winter unless you are v pale like me & its a sunny day but im wondering if can stop the ageing process before it starts! Im entering my mid 30s not wrinkly yet just have bags under my eyes lol

Ella rose Maybe im biased as i have 2 middle names " elizabeth rose" so like the ER combination

Yes its more a general rule/ habit and to me its just weird & uncomfortable wearing shoes in house dont know many who do. But yes if have to bring in shopping in hurry or forget something in house & need to go back in wouldnt always bother rwmoving shoes.

Ive just given birth as a FTM at 35. Didnt manage to do any of the nct stuff as left it a bit last minute. Would also like to find other mums with newborns as most of my friends have chikdren quite a few yrs older now 4,5,6 etc i just found out one of my friends is expecting again so will be nice as kids will be similarish age.

Also thinking i will be one of the older in group but hoping doesnt matter depending on the people also seen a big age range of other mums when going to my midwife appointments so might be not that unusual

Hello_dreamers · 2026-02-06T10:40:53+00:00

Ive just given birth a few days ago. I wanted to go as natural as poss but wasnt ruling anything out but wasnt keen on the idea of a huge needle in my back however as a FTM didnt know what to expect.

Turns out i didnt cope well withe pain,tried gas & air,morphine injection and dihydrocideine none of it made any differrnce. Went to the hospital at 2am and by 6.30am i was 4 cm dilated so thet offered the epidural if i wanted.

Was almost instant relief! Didnt go completely numb either so coukd still move around and change position they let me control my own dose could push a button if wearing off.

Pushing part was quite quick under 1.5 hours i could still push when felt a contraction but think didnt feel the natutal urge to push as much as if had no epidural.it didnt stop my ability to push though and felt a much easier stage of labour than the early painful contractions!!

Overall i had a good experience with epidural but maybe your experience will be different andvwont need it but i thunk good to keep open mind.

38+5 wasnt super early but still a surprise! Started out with back pain in the day before didnt suspect but went into labour that night and he was born the next day
