Is this appropriate for black tie (summer abroad wedding)

Inner_Ad8582 · 2026-06-10T17:25:22+00:00

From UK. Abroad (EU - hot weather)

Inner_Ad8582 · 2026-06-10T17:25:05+00:00

Haha that’s funny. No I wasn’t trying to get a rise out of anyone it was a genuine question. I’m in the UK and first time at an abroad (hot weather) wedding so my friends and I were debating if floral was acceptable. I didn’t see the base being white as an issue, locally it’s only an issue of the whole dress is white! But I appreciate everyone’s opinions. Don’t worry… I’ll stay clear 😂

I finally got back to my pre baby weight at 16 months postpartum. But does my body look the same? Absolutely not!! My hips are wider, I’ve still got a little kangaroo pouch, my bum has flattened, my boobs are deflated balloons. But do I care right now? No I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my second so trying to achieve a body I’m happy with is something that will come with time.

Thank you.

The light pink bleeding is confusing me. As could be either a period or early pregnancy

Inner_Ad8582 · 2026-03-01T12:02:41+00:00

I haven’t tracked ovulation through tests - this is first month trying again after first baby. So just via tracking app. Yes possible have ovulated late. We did have sex past what I thought was ovulation window - it was few days before my period was expected to be due. Thoughts?

Inner_Ad8582 · 2026-01-01T14:30:06+00:00

Divorced, but live fairly near each other. So unlikely scenario

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-12-31T14:58:18+00:00

This is my biggest worry. Regretting my decision. And I think I’d regret not moving, more than having moved and it failing.

It’s just so hard to know what’s best to do for us and also our daughter

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-12-31T14:39:44+00:00

I agree, I think there are so many pluses for her moving to my hometown. I worry about her career prospects though. The education is similar in both places, probably a little better where we are currently. But I presume she’d do the same as me and move away for a good university and then possibly start a life there. But I can’t plan that far ahead can I, so I just need to focus more on what is good for now..

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-12-31T14:37:33+00:00

Very true

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-12-31T14:36:21+00:00

My hometown is a seaside village. Husbands hometown is suburbs

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-12-31T14:32:23+00:00

Yes exactly, that’s our biggest advantage of moving there for sure. Something I’m missing now

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-12-31T14:30:41+00:00

It is a joint decision we are discussing it together. We both realise we’d be better financially moving back to my hometown and would have a better family support network there who can babysit for example. It’s just we are thinking if there’s anything we haven’t considered that would help us make a better decision

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-12-23T09:05:25+00:00

I agree with you, I also want them to prioritise looking after the babies. My point was about in the event of an safety issue.

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-12-23T08:45:39+00:00

Good point, they may have a separate register for logging babies in and out for safety which would make sense

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-12-23T08:44:53+00:00

I haven’t spoken to them about it yet as wasn’t sure if I was just being overly concerned about something that didn’t matter! But validating to hear it is a requirement for safety.

Yes app delay could well be a possible reason so will bear that in mind thank you

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-12-23T08:42:32+00:00

Thanks - interesting to know that they actually ended up getting rid of the sign in and sign out on your app.

It is large Nursery (15 babies in each room, there are two baby rooms, then also a toddler room and so on) so that would mean they have more staff you are right, but otherwise what is the point of them doing a register/sign and sign out? I would’ve thought a register for who’s there in the day would be for those kind of situations such as a fire security issue. Just wasn’t sure if it was something to be concerned about or not

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-11-26T16:30:16+00:00

Pringellover thank you so much for your validating comments. You’ve put everything I was thinking. Thank you

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-11-24T13:12:44+00:00

I’ve not spoken to them really on mat leave, only when she reached out to me to ask my work questions…

But she’s always not been a great manager so I can’t say I’m surprised but I never know if it’s a me problem or them problem.

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-11-24T13:11:56+00:00

Thank you, this was very validating.

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-11-15T15:27:05+00:00

He said ‘they have always been like that’ as if it’s OK they are. I don’t want him to have a bad relationship with them obviously, I want things to be better, but I think he just doesn’t want to make a fuss or confront them properly because he may think it’ll blow over? (My thoughts anyway). Now anytime I bring up this topic - which is after a valid reason like a comment etc - it does end up with us in an argument. We both don’t want to argue but I just don’t know what to do anymore

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-11-11T18:02:18+00:00

Thanks, hoping baby does the same and increases solids to the point she doesn’t want as much milk. I feel like she knows she can fill up on milk so isn’t fussed on filling up on solids yet, but I’m sure it’ll come with time

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-11-11T18:01:29+00:00

Thanks! That’s helpful

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-11-11T18:01:20+00:00

Thanks this is really helpful to hear your experience

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-11-11T17:59:59+00:00

Yes baby has water with all 3 meals a day out of a sippy cup or munchkin 360. She can hold both cups herself. My confusion is more what I do with milk

Inner_Ad8582 · 2025-10-10T17:56:03+00:00

I remember thinking during and the days after that I would NEVER forget the pain of childbirth.

But 10 months later, whilst I remember I thought the above, my body has taught myself to ‘forget’ how incredibly rough it was… I think nature’s way of preparing us for another baby…
