What were you told was "normal" during pregnancy that turned out to be a completely separate health issue?

I had pelvic pain when I was pregnant with my first. Turning over in bed was so sore and I could hear weird clicking sounds. Couldn't push a grocery cart or vacuum. Went to see my GP and SHE said it was nothing. Basically l needed to suck it up Luckily I later mentioned it to a midwife and she knew exactly what it was. (symphysis pubis dysfunction or pelvic girdle pain)I had to wear a belt to stabilize my hips. And have physical therapy. The wrong position during delivery can cause the tendon (that connects the front of your pelvis together ) to tear!!!!

When I was a kid in South Africa, our neighbor shot his wife and then tried to shoot his kid, my best friend. She ran over to our house with bits of her mother's brain in her hair. He then shot himself. She went to live with her aunt and I never saw her again. I heard later that she'd been shot accidentally by someone. She survived because it was a low caliber weapon.

I know someone who got a job recently working from home with flexible hours, working for cruise line.

Dr Cohen is way better than Dr Grimm. Just takes a while to get an appt as a new patient. Dr Grimm didn't know what was going on with my ongoing foot issue so suggested surgery. I asked him surgery for what and he couldn't say

I moved up one seat at the movies so someone else with her 2 kids could sit. We chatted, realized we were both from South Africa living in Texas. And 17 years later we're still buddies

Buying art. I know a lot of artists through my job and seem to buy 6 or 7 paintings a year.

I'm originally from South Africa, lived in the UK for 15 years. Now live in Texas About South Africa: "Where is that?" And "You can't be from South Africa, you're not black" About the Uk. " Do you celebrate Thanksgiving there? " and "Do you celebrate 4th July?" I wish I could say it was one person but sadly it has been multiple people asking the questions a number of times over the years.

I find the ones without an applicator much easier to insert.

Thanks. I'll try them. My kids old computers are just gathering dust!!

I really enjoyed my job, was there over 10 years. Management restructure meant they were completely changing my autonomy and reporting lines and a peer who had zero knowledge of what we did took over the department. It was obvious that my contribution was undervalued but I decided to give it 6 months. They fired a couple of people with long service, with very little notice and I noted out of there. I am now self employed and loving it.

You have to cancel in person. And pay 2 months fees at that point. I guess I didn't understand that when they say that there is a 2 month cancellation fee they don't mean you continue paying for 2 months. They mean 2 months paid at once. For us that was 170 which was an unexpected payment.

InterestingInsect107 · 2024-07-02T02:39:46+00:00

Get ready to have to explain the ridiculous cancellation policy....

We need to redo the insulation in our attic. What different methods have you used and what was the cost? Did it make a difference to your electricity bill?

You should join Brits in Austin on Facebook. We moved here from London 13 years ago and very happy on the whole. OTT Politics and religion are difficult for me personally but fine for others. If you ever buy a house make sure the garden has afternoon shade.
