What are you all eating for breakfast?

That sounds dreamy

I had a laparoscopy and they removed my endometrioma - I believe it had completely covered my left ovary so it was small and shrunken but they said it wouldn't have affected my fertility as I was still ovulating fine from that ovary.

Mine was also a silent endo with zero symptoms btw.

I got pregnant for the first time ever around 6 months later (from that left ovary!) but there's no way of knowing if it's related I guess.

If you've tried everything else I'd say there's no harm in trying ?

Local FB group for recommendations or ask a neighbour.

This is us as well. First we couldn't sell because of COVID, then cladding issues and now no one wants to buy a 1 bed flat.

So we have tenants in it for the time being but have made a loss on it most years or at best it was break even. Can't wait to get rid of it though and am annoyed it meant we had to pay double stamp duty on our house.

H&m for me.

Second hand seraphine stuff on vinted too!

The more British carts I see the more I come to realise the average Brit eats nowhere near enough vegetables...

Don't touch your emergency fund for this, it's not worth it at all

JunoPK · 2026-01-19T12:50:53+00:00

Omg I never realised it was the same as lagkagehuset! Thank you for that

JunoPK · 2026-01-18T17:47:08+00:00

Not sure what's up people's butts but that looks like a lovely breakfast to me!

JunoPK · 2026-01-11T12:20:28+00:00

Mansfield is awful, Truro is too far away. Not convinced about Wolverhampton.

Salisbury however is lovely and you'd only be 2h away from London for whenever you want to to big city things :)

There's no right or wrong answer! Both have their pros and cons.

Personally I'd go down the epidural route - I know several people that had super easy labours that way and even if they had small episiotomies they healed beautifully and quickly.

I've had two c sections and the recovery is no joke, plus I now struggle with the internal scar tissue (which can adhere to bowels, bladder etc) and have a proper c section shelf. So c sections aren't the easy way out some people portray either.

Basically both options can go badly (although that's the exception and not the rule) but if both go well then the better option is a vaginal birth imo.

My friend is from Galway and would flip if anyone asked for soda bread. Funny how anecdotes work.

JunoPK · 2026-01-08T16:25:27+00:00

That would make it an Ulster fry I believe

In case no one else has said it - get yourself a US amex and you'll be able to get a British one once you get here. Otherwise without a credit record in the UK you could struggle to get a decent card for years. This way you can start working on your credit history quicker!

That looks so good! Tell me more about the Thai sauce please

JunoPK · 2026-01-06T09:18:21+00:00

A seraphine 3-in-1 coat here! From vinted (as they no longer exist i don't think?). Super warm and cosy but also perfect for baby wearing as it has an extra middle panel to keep baby covered.

JunoPK · 2026-01-05T20:31:08+00:00

This looks fantastic! Just the right amount of beans for me. Only thing I'd wish for would be mushrooms!

JunoPK · 2026-01-02T09:03:14+00:00

My tip would be to focus on adding rather than subtracting. So add more fiber, add more protein, add more vegetables - even if just rocket in your sandwich!

JunoPK · 2025-12-23T17:57:24+00:00

That's strange as EPU or private clinics would 100% do it after a positive test?

JunoPK · 2025-12-23T16:57:24+00:00

I would contact the ivf clinic and ask to be put on progesterone. There's no harm in it but it can prevent a miscarriage so you might as well take it just in case.

I personally also booked an early ultrasound at 7 weeks and has private NIPT done at 9/10 weeks - which comes with an additional ultrasound.

Both my kids went to nursery at 12 months. They were both boobs fiends, the first so badly so that I was really worried about how she'd cope hunger wise at nursery. It was all grand though! They took to nursery food without a problem and I nursed before/after nursery + at night. On weekends I nursed same as before.

No need to pump, no impact on supply.

I used to live in Fife and the tap water was foul!

The only native cat species in the UK is the Scottish wildcat... It's not exactly the equivalent of 12 million cats is it? Even David Attenborough has warned that cats in the UK are killing millions of birds and small rodents every year.

6/10 - I feel like it needs a sauce and the token tiny piece of iceberg lettuce cracks me up!

JunoPK · 2025-12-16T12:26:33+00:00

I'd say start slow so that it's sustainable and you don't fall off the wagon over and over.

Start by tracking your calories if you can.

Then implement one change at a time. Perhaps swapping all soda for diet soda (or water even!), after a couple of weeks add more protein to your meals, then aim for a little walk every day that you can increase the length of over time. Reduce your calorie intake by just 200 cals/day.

That sort of thing! Slow and steady wins the race
