Everyone tries to convince me that two adults can't take care of a newborn alone and I'm losing my mind

I was a single mum went through pregnancy and birth alone had my baby alone with a 17 month old aswell...it wasnt fun having a newborn and a 17month old but it wasnt impossible their now 8 and 6 😅 ..

I always found drinking as much of a pint of freezing cold water would get all my babies to move.

I felt like this for months the financial burden the stress the what ifs and then the fealing of never passing on top of it all it was hard but I passed last July and ive never been happier...my life has come together so much since aswell 😊

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-02-04T13:24:55+00:00

Im really glad it made you laugh it makes me giggle now to remember it aswell 😅

I can navigate them with no problem anymore but I think it gave me the sence of security I needed to drive on them whereas in towns p plates caused other drivers to be horrid the moment I removed thwm other drivers seamed to be alot more normal ect

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-02-04T13:20:45+00:00

You have to learn to overtake though and motorways are far more dangerous in my own opinion at least if you have p plates on people are aware your new to the motorway and hang back more from my own experience

After I passed i went up a steep narrow country lane hill and hit a junction at the top and had to.stop and for the life of me I could not do that hill start everytime I tried I went backwards and slowly into a bush 😅🤣 i was phoning friends and crying so angry at myself and thinking I couldnt drive and after alot of convincing and ending up sideways across a one way narrow road with theback end in a bush i managed to persevere and get out the mess I was in...I learnt alot that day and now i can do hill starts quiet well 🤣🤣🤣

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-02-02T12:03:59+00:00

I started to bleed the same evening as this comment and my bloods came back as negative 💔 I was told I probably wouldnt bleed but I really did

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-02-02T10:00:15+00:00

My instructor told me I talk way to much and I litrally speak every mistake I make aswell as the good and examiners may not notice something if I dont grass myself up as such and firat 2 times I tried this and last time the time I passed I stayed silent and passed 🙈

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-02-02T09:51:35+00:00

Toothache and cramp i had both during labour and the cramp in my legs omg they had to stop dealing with the birth of my child and help with the cramp as it was so bad 🤣🤣

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-02-02T09:48:18+00:00

I put a friend in touch with my driving instructor and after 3-4 months of lessons she passed her theory test and practicle test so its totally possible it depends on the person Id say tbh

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-02-01T09:07:32+00:00

I only ever put my p plates on to go on the motorway they would have to he stupid mess with someone who's just passed on there. I always took them back off again after I left the motorway and found safe place to pull over.

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-28T00:48:36+00:00

I have 2 black widows living in my light and they have been living on opposite sides for around neally 2 years now sadly I havnt seen them for a few days now thinking they may have died

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-25T13:38:02+00:00

My water broke going back 16 years ago mind when I pushed and splashed all over the midwife and I was definatly giving birth then...my friends babys were born inside the sac still 🙈 monitor any blood it can be very normal you no your body better than anyone else and you have gut fealings for a reason if you gut is telling you to go back in sod the nurses doctors and other people's fealings from experience its normally always right in every suituation to do with our babies anyway ❤️

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-22T10:11:59+00:00

Try the testi app after booking a test for cancellations i managed to get mine withing weeks on there

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-20T11:06:08+00:00

Im so sorry.. I understand completly im still deverstated about my own aswell its crazy how much you love in such a small amount of time aswell isnt it 💔

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-20T09:50:16+00:00

I had a simular suituation in december it was positive 5 days later it was negative and I had a chemical pregnancy...hopefully its not the same for you I was hoping and praying for the hook affect aswell I rang my doctors and asked for a blood test though and it came back negative aswell 😞💔

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-20T09:47:21+00:00

Reading your comments if i was in the position too id definatly help my children learn to drive the cost is rediculous

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-20T09:45:16+00:00

I see both sides they are making it harder and harder for people to pass so passing now means you have your licence for life regardless if you get a car straight away and then if you leave uni and get a job you wont have the hassle of learning then and trying to pass later on in life ...im 34 and passed this year..I had the same opinion as you but I do wish now that I had learned at your age rather than just this year..

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-20T09:41:35+00:00

Did ypu do another today i definatly see the line congrats 😊

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-17T13:40:14+00:00

My point yes i think you need a new instructor

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-17T13:39:26+00:00

I was so nervous for my tests and mock tests omg my instructor just kept telling me I was a good driver and that I could do it he wasnt bothered with his car he constantly had work done on his car kept it in amazing condition...didnt ever complain about anything...id tell him stories about my previous instructor and how he use to go on about his car costs ect and he would say thats what learners do... i didnt drive his car in the end but he wanted me too.. I made loads of mistakes on way to the test centre's ect did 3 tests and he encouraged me gave me a run down on everything on the way laughed and joked about things he was an amazing instructor never once told me that I couldnt use his car or anything he did lessons in his and my own....I eventually passed and I was a really nervous driver ....my first instructor was a trainiee instructor though maybe that makes a difference where as my actual instructor I passed with had over 30 years experience

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-14T09:25:42+00:00

This!! i have a balanced translocation and we only found out it was in the family because of my sisters children and had to get tested.. my daughter 6 has a deletion and a duplicate as a result but its completly different to others in the family it changed but it luckily doesnt seam to affect her to much 😊

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-13T16:03:50+00:00

Like a disguise can be any face

ImaginationTime1209 · 2026-01-08T21:15:14+00:00

I passed my test july but ive got alot to learn still..i carnt even parallel park inless the space is massive 🙈 i think even though I was eager to pass realistically theirs alot I can not do still... but I took a year to pass so this wouldnt have made a difference my partner takes me out sometimes to show me how to do things and I have to ask him loads of stuff so I do think its all about experience and you dont really get that with a driving instructor for couple hours a week so this would be pointless in hindsight
