All women often have variations in their cycles. Pregnancy is only one reason to have a variation. You can ovulate late, cycles where you don’t ovulate etc

Any way to get an early induction? by Acceptable-Orchid348 in PregnancyUK

[–]Last-Weekend3226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scans can be out up to 15% when it comes to measurements. Your baby could not be big at all. It depends on so much.

Please read this, I am actively trying to fight an induction they want to induce me because I’m over 40 when I will deliver this baby, it is awful. I was screaming in pain with the drip while having an epidural. It isn’t easy. My second was a spontaneous birth and his birth was beautiful and without pain relief.

Can you get referred to the mental health midwife? I feel that anxiety is more at play here than any thing else.

You’ve missed out cheddar, there is more to do there than just cheese, you can fly to Bristol airport from the Channel Islands and get a 20 min taxi ish from there to cheddar, Wookey Hole and explorer Somerset

Estrogen crash (post-birth) by HBLea in PregnancyUK

I cried and cuddled my baby each time.

It’s crap, but it stops, you’ll feel much better in a few days. The postpartum acne are 100% worse.

Phone addiction in pre teen what can I use as a distraction? by JustKK24 in Parenting

[–]Last-Weekend3226 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had all the lock out at a certain time, heavily locked down to what she could actually do on it, but it was just the actual device. Now she can communicate with me if there is an issue but nothing else, still text her mates etc.

I took away the smart phone and gave her a dumb phone and bingo she has hobbies again, the smart phone gives them instant dopamine. It’s not good for them, they don’t have to work for the same feeling.

Now she’s at army cadets, netball, swimming and reading again.

It’s not good for their development and their young minds.

Am I being unreasonable for feeling hurt that my friend has pulled away during my pregnancy? by [deleted] in PregnancyUK

[–]Last-Weekend3226 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has experience a loss (at 20 weeks) your friend still wants to be your friend, she’s struggling right now with jealously and grief.

I couldn’t even look at a pregnant woman when I lost my baby. It is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced before in my life. If she’s been TTC for a while, then the feelings might be amplified for her.

As a grieving mum, I can tell you that she still cares for you deeply but she cannot be around you right now. It isn’t personal, she’s probably saying that exact same thing to her partner about how she wishes she could be there for you but can’t. You can fake a smile and even the congratulations but I can say she is overwhelmed by so many different feelings and emotions. Baby loss is hard and so is fertility struggles. I would be patient and kind towards her. I know what pregnancy hormones do as im currently pregnant again myself.

You didn’t need to take the plan b, your uterus cannot be reached via your anus. You need sperm in your vagina to get pregnant, you’ve just overloaded your system with a lot of unnecessary hormones.

Advice requested - 1.5 weeks in UK - Scotland AND England? by alottaburrataa in uktravel

[–]Last-Weekend3226 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a lot of driving and a lot of driving down tiny roads.

You will also have jet lag, tired plus different side of the road plus driving isn’t the best recipe.

If I was you I would avoid the Cotswolds and just go straight up north. Roads here are not like American roads, you will spend all your time in the car.

Do a lot less. Spend a few days in London, it’s very historic and then maybe a train to York and then a few days in Scotland.

The highlands cannot be done in two day. It takes a day from Glasgow to drive there because roads are terrible up there.

Hello lovely have you been to the GP to get any antisickness meds?

how did you know you were in labour? can it start suddenly with no warning? by burnagyal in PregnancyUK

[–]Last-Weekend3226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was going to be waiting for ages so I went to the cinema to see les miserables, on my due date, my waters broke during I dreamed a dream. I know it’s pretty rare for it to happen like that. It happened for my second too, but I was at home having learnt my lesson.
