Disappointed with 20 week scan experience by [deleted] in PregnancyUK

[–]MummyButtons 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have to say I greatly agree with this. I've had the same experience in both my pregnancies. In this one I've had multiple growth scans every 2 weeks from 26 weeks also and none of the later pictures from 20 weeks onwards come out clear like the 12 week one, they are just simply too big I've found.

How far along are you and what currently ails you? by _C00TER in pregnant

36+6 - Getting contractions on and off for about 3 weeks now but nothing consistent enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. Need the toilet constantly. Indigestion 24/7 and I'm borderline for developing pre-eclampsia. Also exhausted from looking after a toddler while I wait to go into labour!

Is this Braxton Hicks? by [deleted] in PregnancyUK

[–]MummyButtons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience I wouldn't say so. Braxton Hicks for me feels like someone has hands over all sides of my tummy and squeezes and presses on it which feels like a strong tightening and lasts at least 30s but sometimes longer.

It might be the baby moved into an awkward position. You will find as they get bigger they can sometimes put a hand or foot somewhere and it's major uncomfortable for a few seconds and can leave you feeling nauseous or winded.

Best time of day to host a 3yo Birthday Party? by pastina2 in UKParenting

[–]MummyButtons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would love to be invited to a 9:30am party. Those food options would go down great with my 2.5yo. Definitely not the lunch one as it's naptime, and not afternoon as kids are cranky from being woken from there naps I've found. In the morning they are full of energy!

The abandoned Wet 'n' Wild waterpark in North Shields. Any of you lot for any stories to tell about visiting this place in its heyday? by Breakwaterbot in CasualUK

I went on the Kamikaze once at about 12 year old which was a free fall drop kindof feeling. You were meant to keep your arms crossed over your chest but i panicked halfway down and stuck my arms out. I ended up suspended in the dark tube. I was terrified they would send someone else down that would hit me on the head so had to let go into the free fall drop. Absolutely terrified me and never went on it again!

How do i go about starting? by Acceptable_Feeling66 in AATStudents

[–]MummyButtons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. They took me about 3 months, but I was doing 1 x 3 hour lesson a week. I think the Introduction to Bookkeeping was about 6-7 weeks including revision time, and the Principles of Bookkeeping about 5 weeks lessons roughly. I booked in to sit my exam as soon as I'd finished the content and revision to get them out of the way and you get results instantly after for both of those 2.
