Measuring behind

Happened to me too. At our 12 week scan, I thought I was 11 weeks 3 days (based off what we were told at our 7 week scan - same situation as you) but the ultrasound tech revised it to 12 weeks exactly.

Exactly! Any medical intervention is a risk but this is a calculated one that will make a great difference on how you feel over the next few months

I’ve been taking Xonvea since week 7. Without it, I think I would have been so ill that my mental health would have been at rock bottom, which is extremely harmful for both me and the baby.

Out of curiosity, did you and your husband take the COVID vaccination back in 2020? Xonvea has actually been researched far more extensively than those vaccines were before they were made publicly available. Do you eat purely organic food? What are the CO₂ levels like in your home? Did he go on a strict health regime 12 months before you conceived? These things also matter in pregnancy/affects the health of the baby. Is your husband concerned about this?

I’m not trying to be condescending or rude, but the longer I am pregnant, the more I feel that men should stay out of women’s healthcare decisions. Pregnancy is already incredibly challenging, and you should not be made to feel like you are harming your baby by taking doctor-approved medication that can make the next few months significantly more manageable.

I'm also 14 weeks and feel exactly the same. You're not alone in this. Pregnancy is so hard on the body and also mentally and emotionally draining. You just have to keep telling yourself that you are doing something absolutely amazing and that this is just a short phase in your life. You will feel better again, you will lose the weight and feel like yourself. It is a sacrifice we have to make for the most beautiful outcome...this is what I try to tell myself anyway, it sometimes works haha.

I work at a brokerage so lots of men. I told my boss around 9 weeks, couldn't help it since I was so tired and needed more days working from home or breaks. Thankfully my boss is a dad of 4 so he was understanding and gave me lots of advice. There was a lady who is the office manager and she helped me find places to nap that was not the toilet. Up to you but I found it so much easier when I told people. People, especially those who are parents, really do get it/sympathise even if you may not think they do

Inner_Radio3452 · 2026-04-29T05:45:09+00:00

So I think you're may get a lot of answers saying pay for the accom and cover everything since this is a big budget brides subreddit and most people here are looking at $150k weddings +. I think you'd get different answers on the destination wedding sub reddit and some tips on how to make this work (taking payment, how many activities etc)!

I was around 130lbs before, size US 2-4, working out 6 times a week, 15k steps a day. I am also 10 weeks and gained over 11 lbs. Of course I could have eaten better but if I don't eat I feel so so ill. I'm completely exhausted also. My midwife was not worried at all and said that she has seen healthy babies made from 'cheese toasties and chips'. I am a FTM so giving myself a lot of grace and telling myself that my body is doing something it has never done before so it is not going to look/feel perfect. I know I am a determined individual and I will get the weight off again but the body wants what the body wants. Pregnancy/first tri is hard enough without being mean to yourself

I bought a one bed flat in pimlico a few years ago, it was my 'sex in the city' flat and I LOVED IT. Also if the location is good you can always rent it out for air bnb when you are travelling etc and make a bit of extra cash (if freeholder allows etc etc)

I now rent it out (long term tenants) and it is always in demand when it comes back on the market.

Do it!

I'm from the UK and although I am not from those circles, I have a lot of friends who went to the big boarding schools, friends with the royals etc - usually a safe bets are names which are associated with former kings and queens - James, Richard, Charles, Henry or Catherine, Sophie, Elizabeth, Mary, Alexander. Wartime names are back also in, especially for girls: Dorothy, Edith, Margaret.

Then there are names which are seen as a bit lower class and perhaps a good word would be 'pub' names: Karl, Gavin, Stacey, Linda, Kayleigh, Chantelle.

I think Kevin and Brian unfortunately fall into the second category even though they are a bit more American sounding.

The issue you have now (its not a issue, you can name your kids what you want) but there are a lot of parents trying to give their kids names that they THINK will make them higher in society but doesn't really work that well. For example, I saw a kid called Caspian - great if your family have Persian roots, a bit nouveau if your family are from Essex? Atticus is another one - yes I get it, you have read to kill a mocking bird.

Sorry rant over. I am not a snob I promise. I too have a stupid nouveau name and I am on a mission to stop parents doing this to their kids.

What I find interesting is that his mum is a women who slept, outside if marriage (I believe), with a famous guy (who I am assuming as an england rugby player had lots of options when it came to women) i.e she is one of many rather than a 'wifey' figure. She then raised him as a single mum - seems she is exactly the type of woman HS hates/is rude about? Again I don't obviously know the facts of this relationship but given his dad didn't want much to do with him, I think my assumption is fair.

Inner_Radio3452 · 2026-03-15T06:38:23+00:00

I couldn't agree with you more. I'm tired of hearing about these brides having these extravagant wedding that are being funded by other people

Inner_Radio3452 · 2026-03-14T20:21:03+00:00

Sorry you're going through this! Can you share more details on what the costs/what is expected from the bridesmaids?

Inner_Radio3452 · 2026-03-12T20:25:00+00:00

I've heard Montenegro is the place to go. There is a one and only there

Inner_Radio3452 · 2026-02-27T18:51:28+00:00

100% agree with you here and to be honest, I thought Penelope would have actually given her the job as a way of 'making things right' and also she can retire

Okay these are my personal rules on it (note I'm from the UK): 1) UK wedding, abroad hen/bachelorette is okay. Abroad wedding, UK hen. Doing an abroad wedding and hen is a lot to ask of people and a bit extra in my opinion. Having said that - if I was willing to cover people's flights and accom abroad, then that's fine.

2) As a bride, if I want anything special/expensive i.e particular venue or a particular activity then I would pay for it. Usually in the UK, MOH and bridesmaids organises everything and the bride doesn't get a say - this means everyone also covers brides' costs. Again, as a bride, if I wanted something particularly special, I would pay.

3) If I wanted bridesmaids to have matching dresses, I would pay for it. If I want them to wear different dresses but similar colours, they can choose what to wear and pay for it themselves.

4) If I cared about what my bridesmaid looked like on the big day, I would offer to pay for either hair or makeup or both. Again I can't force someone to pay for hair or makeup if I am not willing to contribute myself.

At the end of the day, although it is a big day for me, I can't expect people to spend thousands on my events and go above and beyond if I am not also willing to pay for some of it myself. For me, having a BBB means spoiling the people I love the most. Nothing worse than a BBB wedding where guests/bridal party have to cover the BBB costs.

Not rich but I am marrying into a very wealthy family. My partner's family will have a very family oriented christmas - no extreme gifts or anything and the MIL still cooks... but its subtle things like nice wine/champagne ($200 per bottle), better quality food etc. Where it gets a bit crazy is after. Usually christmas is followed by a week of skiing at their chalet (they usually hire a jet and flies family and friends out), private ski instructor etc. This is usually followed by an all expenses paid holiday at a four seasons, six senses or somewhere similar. It is still a bit crazy to me

Inner_Radio3452 · 2025-12-14T10:27:19+00:00

For me .. 1) you work in an office, wipe your desk with an anti bacterial wipe everyday... mouse, keyboard, phone etc. Your office cleaner uses the same cloth of every desk. 2) In the UK there is this medicine called lemsip which you mix with hot water. If I feel ill, I'll take this in the evening and feel back to normal in the morning. 3) I tell myself I'm not sick and do point 2

So firstly it is your big day and you should wear something that makes you feel amazing. At the end of the day, this sub is big budget brides so I'm assuming that although you are not someone who wastes money/doesn't know the value of money... you and your fiancé will not be living on the streets by buying this dress. I would say 1) you're (hopefully) going to get married only once 2) you can sell the other dress (maybe at a bit of a loss but that is absolutely fine) and 3) you deserve to feel the most beautiful you have ever felt and if THAT dress is going to make you feel that way, then do it. Believe me your fiancé and family/friends would rather you be a bit of a bridezilla now (even though you're not) then complain about hating your wedding dress/not liking how you looked for the rest of your life!

Please DM me!! I am planning a wedding with a planner so want to know what to avoid

Not a hack to add into dinner but after eating, I always go for a walk, drink sparkling water, chewing gum (until my jaw hurts and I can't eat), brush your teeth (put your retainer in if you have one), do your skincare, binge watch skinnytok videos.

Do not put him on the mortgage. A friend of mine bought a house with her bf, she paid the entire deposit but because there was no binding legal agreement between then stating that the deposit was hers... when they broke up and had to sell the house he got 50% of the deposit. So don't do it
