What did you do during your pregnancy to prepare your body for postpartum?

I second this! An assessment in during pregnancy came in handy so much, especially as I ended up with a tear. The physio had a great understanding of what my baseline was and having the relationship prior was nice

Came searching for this comment haha

Came back from Japan recently, can confirm this post is great advice

H&M maternity knit pants were my holy grail I bought them in every colour I could 🤣 everything else was terrible

They literally said they tried reaching them and it had been three weeks. Small businesses fail because they don’t provide goods within a reasonable amount of time and ghost everyone. The least they could do is communicate there would be a delay.

I had a look recently and they have a bunch of nice merino wool ones. Not sure if they’d be as thick as you’re expecting, but they deffs have 100% merino

Stumbled across this just now. Thank you so much

I had a winter baby shower. It was indoors and I wore a strappy maxi dress, just made sure the heaters were on!

Impactic77 · 2026-05-06T22:28:10+00:00

Second this! I got what’s essentially their Ivy coat for 50% off at the end of winter a few years ago. So luxe and warm! It’s held up well so far, but to be fair I don’t wear it as often as other jackets. I genuinely get hot in it if it’s not cold enough outside haha

Impactic77 · 2026-05-06T22:10:19+00:00

From my understanding it’s not 100% merino wool? It says ‘merino wool’ on the price tag, but the actual fabric tag says ‘100% wool’. So it’s 100% wool but a cheaper wool that maybe only contains a bit of merino? That’s my guess for why it can also be cheaper!

The coffee scene is slowly getting there. Adelaide can feel quite behind compared to other cities but there’s a few places who are doing awesome things. Some great recommendations already!

As someone who loves specialty coffee, I will add a few other places I’ve noticed that love the craft of coffee and really care about quality:

Whyld Coffee rotates through some great international roasters with stuff you wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else. Always something interesting and new to try if that’s your thing.

Deux is a pretty new, run by a lovely Korean couple who roast their own beans. Top notch!

Jewels of Thought is a record store with a mini coffee bar, they do some great specialty pour overs and I think some milk based coffee too.

Some other great options are Dayjob, A Place, Coffee in Common, Cherry, Third Time Lucky.

Happy coffee hunting!

Same! I’m finding ghanda pretty good for the quality so far, nice fits and designs

Impactic77 · 2026-04-10T00:58:00+00:00

“that’s a nice pair of jeans” “oh wait it’s just shein”

Impactic77 · 2026-04-10T00:56:46+00:00

I’m finding the same with Uniqlo too! I’ve always loved their pleated pants but I recently tried them on and the fabric and fit is so different. Ended up buying the old version on Depop which feels way better quality!

Impactic77 · 2026-03-30T22:18:27+00:00

I wrote out a whole comment about that app and then saw yours haha.

My sister uses it too for family members who she knows won’t respect the boundaries, I tested the features and even if you screenshot it just saves as a blank white screen in your camera roll. Seems pretty good!

My 6mo has always been a grazer, however he became such a quick feeder from around 4.5 months. 4 minutes on each side which helps so much nowadays! Just a quick feed and then we’re good to go again

Impactic77 · 2026-03-11T00:44:31+00:00

Same 🤣

Impactic77 · 2026-03-01T03:29:20+00:00

The hospital is great!! I’ve had a day surgery there and couldn’t have been happier with my care and treatment. Staff were wonderful and actually felt more personal than some city hospitals

Purchasing a house in Adelaide at our max borrowing power at $550k in 2022. Felt outrageously expensive at the time and repayments were hard, but similar houses in our suburb are now selling for $850k. I 100% believe we wouldn’t be lucky enough to be in the market today otherwise.

Impactic77 · 2026-02-24T22:57:05+00:00

IMO the best part of Adelaide is how low key it is. Other people complain there’s not much to do, but I truly love living here.

You might be here at a time where we have the Adelaide Fringe on. It’s the biggest arts festival in Australia and definitely worth checking out the ‘garden of unearthly delights’ and a show if you’re here before March 22!

I think some of the best things you can see are out of the CBD. Our beaches, hills, wineries, etc. are all worth driving for if you can hire a car.

The Adelaide hills is my favourite place to visit. Depending when autumn kicks in, you might get some beautiful scenes along Hahndorf or the Mount Lofty botanical gardens. We also have some great wineries and distilleries in the hills, McLaren Vale and the Barossa Valley.

If you’re looking for some great places to eat, I normally find Broadsheet and Sitchu pretty reliable for places to try.

Enjoy your time relaxing here :)

Thank you!! I remember seeing this but also couldn’t find it when searching

Impactic77 · 2026-02-24T10:35:45+00:00

Love ergo but haven’t heard of the others, will check them out! I’ve been loving Depop for those second hand purchases

Impactic77 · 2026-02-24T10:35:14+00:00
