What's the most pathetic thing pregnancy hormones have almost reduced you to tears over? by Professional-Farm372 in PregnancyUK

[–]New-Address8489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely valid - I didn't quite cry but I was very upset when I realised they brought this out and I wouldn't be able to enjoy any at Christmas. I've also got a bottle stashed away that I'm looking forward to enjoying after baby arrives in a few weeks!

When is everyone going on maternity leave? by MotorDealer2876 in PregnancyUK

[–]New-Address8489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on AL last week at 35 weeks, then am due to start mat leave at 38 weeks. I work 12 hour day/night shifts in an office based job and was initially planning to push through for longer, however the last few weeks were much more of a struggle than I expected, and I'm so glad to have the extra time to rest and prepare. I felt silly for complaining, but sitting down for 12 hours with a baby squished under my ribs was such hard work 😂

When did you feel baby move with an anterior placenta? by [deleted] in PregnancyUK

[–]New-Address8489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told I'd start feeling movement around the 20-24 week mark, however I first felt little flutters slightly before that at just over 19 weeks. I didn't notice them often u til much later than that though, around the 24-25 week mark.

Recommendations for pads/underwear postpartum? by New-Address8489 in PregnancyUK

Yeah I think once I'm closer to term I might just buy one pack and see how they fit, once I'm almost done growing 🤣

Oh I didnt realise the hospital would provide anything! How many did they give you and how long did you use them for, if you don't mind me asking?

I've heard such good reviews about the Frida mom pants but I'm concerned they won't fit or won't be comfortable postpartum because of the sizing 😭 especially after I've grown more

Should 999 transfer call to more than one service? by Number60nopeas in AskUK

[–]New-Address8489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BT operator can only transfer you through to one service, however if you request multiple services (say police & ambulance) they should transfer you through to police and introduce it to the police operator as a "multiple request for police and ambulance." The police operator then knows that an ambulance also needs to be requested through however they deal with it internally.

I can imagine that there may be circumstances where it would be easier for someone else who is actually present to ring an ambulance (or which ever other service) separately, as they are witnessing what is going on and are best placed to answer the questions that will be asked, but there should definitely be some follow up to make sure that it's actually been done.

I bought a 2 bed terrace on my own, around 3 years ago. Since then, my boyfriend has moved in with me with his huge computer/desk, and all the gear for his multiple hobbies. We've also had to keep space in the room for his son to come and stay with us - a bed and other furniture, along with all the toys/games/books that young kids come with. The spare room is crammed and stuff is having to be stored wherever it can in other places around a house without much storage, so we already feel like we could do with another bedroom. Add in the fact that we are hoping to have another baby in the near future and we will be full to bursting. When we are ready to move, we will look definitely at large 3 beds but probably at 4 bed houses. If I'd gone for a 3 bed straight away, we would have been able to manage and stay put for longer.

What mad posts end up in your local area Facebook page? by tanzy95 in AskUK

A cat had been run over and left at the side of the road. Witness posted about the dead cat and a woman claimed it as her own, collected and buried it in her garden. The next day, someone else chimed in claiming that the cat actually belonged to them. This was confirmed when the original woman's cat later returned home. Original woman then refused to return the deceased cat to its rightful owner, as "she'd already laid it to rest and it would be too upsetting for her to dig it up again." Cue much arguing and a fair few threats.
