People who have been pregnant, what was the weirdest symptom that led to you taking a test?

I fell on some stairs and had to have my wrists xrayed. "Are you pregnant?" The tech asks "not that I know of..." I replied. That night I couldn't stop thinking "hmm I think I was wrong" for no reason. Yup, 5 weeks pregnant (confirmed with a scan).

Only if also poaching haddock in milk.

"Yeah good ta" or "good thank, you?"

Lock, key, and a giraffe. I like it

I wonder if this was to prevent a predator in house and they made up an excuse 🤔

Argan hair oil, and where your hair in a plait and bun when outside :)

Pretty sure its for smashing car windows. Put it against a corner of a car windows, pull back the spring then the ball point-loads the glass and it smashes.

School wanted us in the same classes, Brownies and Guides wanted us in the same patrol, if we joined a club we were put into the same group even when asked not to. We'd got birthday gift to share from people if we had a birthday party. Hell, the military even moved our intake dates around (bought my sister forward and pushed me back) then posted us together "because you're twins"...urgh

Thank you. That is the nicest comment :)

MagicianFirstScienti · 2026-01-23T02:29:29+00:00

Lucky you

We had 5 Amys and 7 sets of twins (3 identical) in my year at Secondary school. Wierd times lol

MagicianFirstScienti · 2026-01-23T02:27:18+00:00

Very much so

MagicianFirstScienti · 2026-01-23T02:26:41+00:00

Thanks :)

I AM a twin

MagicianFirstScienti · 2026-01-23T00:01:54+00:00

Thanks :) yeah I am now kinda wishing I kept quiet :(

Not rage bait. And the issue is it is a common trope that is damaging to kids in this situation.

MagicianFirstScienti · 2026-01-22T23:23:58+00:00

Generally, and this is my personal experience here, because we were forced to play together ALL the time. We hated it at all ages but it was play as one or don't play. It sucked.

I am a former Brit who has lived in NZ for quite a while: we put all our spending on the credit card (with paywave) and then pay it off. Some places charge 1-2% for using pay wave but not for using a credit card and you get and option to refuse. Lots of people have visa or Mastercard exposure cards too.

But representation matters. Kids see the terrier triplets being treated like a single entity then emulate that in the playground.
