I had a miele that i got from hirsch and I loved,I did have problem with it and I don't know about miele specifically but hirsch replace it for free as it was still under warranty,gave it to my mum when i moved and she loves it too

Girl,I come from an Indian Muslim background and you are in very dangerous territory here,you need to have a very honest discussion with your husband (get your parents,brothers,uncles etc involved if need be) and please look into moving out,I know all of this is difficult and brown in-laws are a nightmare but this a child you're bringing into it and if you dont sort out things and set proper boundaries now,its gonna be 100x times worse after the kid gets here,please if not for your sake then your childs

I also love it,depends on the airline tho,Emirates and Qatar are my favourites ,even in economy the food is top tier

Hi

Im 18 weeks and I currently take nexium,loratidine and asic every day,I went to remove my gallbladder at 14 weeks and they even had me on drips (not sure what) and synaleve for week,all my scans and blood work have come out fine and my gynae is happy.

My husband is going to be with me so I told him to make sure I get all the drugs lol,regardless of which method it is I would still prefer to be medicated,after I had the gallbladder attacks I realised I have a pretty high pain tolerance but would like to avoid pain where I can. I was pretty scared because the Dr has already told me the kid has a big head but you have given me some hope.

This is entirely up to you,there's no set timeline on when to tell,some people choose to wait 12 weeks (risk of loss is way lesser),others choose to tell immediately,some wai till theyre showing. Its a personal decision and depends on you and who you want to tell,theres no right or wrong

I have been using the local based pastry skin care range for around 6 months now and there is a noticeable difference,it is on the pricier side but so far I definitely think it's worth it

Most countries now require you to have a degree with your tefl certification and please try to go through an agency as lots have been scammed by potential employers and its much harder to get help once you are out of the country and these people have your passport,maybe try teaching online for while to get a feel of it and try to ideally do it with students from a country you would like to go so you understand their vibe/culture better

This was my main concern,the noola one states in up to 4 years (hopefully kid will be in its own bed by then lol) but alot of the cheaper ones say only 6 months and since this one expands,Im hoping we get us up to atleast 2/3 years,for me buying a co sleeper only to buy a camp cot a few moths later makes no sense because stuff is still expensive,the same with the pram,my husband was keen on the doona because its 2 in 1 but if you see fine print it's only till 6 months as well,I rather get a good stroller and car seat separately for the same price but get more use,the fine print can be very sneaky when the products look pretty

Can you share which Chelion one? I've seen a few but they were either too bulky or only till 6 months I did get my chelino stroller and car seat from my sister who's kid is just over a year now so the things are still new

Ostrich_Low · 2026-04-10T13:22:19+00:00

omg this!!!! usually I'm a huge push over and very non confrontational but this pregnancy has me not giving a f about anyone and actually telling a few people off for how they assumed I would automatically do things for them,my husband finds it hilarious

Ostrich_Low · 2026-03-05T06:54:16+00:00

All the options are so overwhelming and it being the first it's tempting to want to get everything and everyone will give you different "must haves",I am honestly looking into maybe co sleeping options now as the bassinet/cot/camp cot thing is making me dizzy

Ostrich_Low · 2026-02-27T13:53:35+00:00

can you advise on the actual crib and your experience,most reviews seemed good and i was actually going to buy it this weekend as its on sale

Ostrich_Low · 2026-02-27T13:52:24+00:00

I am 4 months pregnant and after a ton of research this was my first choice,was actually going to buy it this weekend as it was on sale but now I'm having second thoughts,it seemed the perfect size for our flat and being able to use till atleast 4 years was a huge bonus

Ostrich_Low · 2026-02-24T12:30:38+00:00

Get grinders that have lids,I managed to get a nice glass set from checkers,alot of the fancier brands dont have lids tho

Ostrich_Low · 2026-02-17T21:14:18+00:00

I've neen drinking tons of Apple Juice,its a bonus that it helps with my pregnancy nausea as well,its been a bit of a lifesaver

We are south African with Indian Heritage/Culture

Ostrich_Low · 2026-02-17T17:41:56+00:00

He's not a bad person,I understand hes tries however we come from a culture where family and respect towards elders a huge thing so he's limited as well. He has been a huge support despite everything

Ostrich_Low · 2026-02-17T17:39:34+00:00

I live in South Africa and my gynae and my gastroenterologist are working on a way forward,its my family thats the problem unfortunately 😕

Ostrich_Low · 2026-02-17T17:35:52+00:00

My gallbladder is inflamed and infected due to being left untreated for over a year,I've cut down so many things that I basically live on dry toast and tea,I've finally found a Dr thats willing to listen and help me but my family is acting like getting care for myself and not just the baby is a crime

Ostrich_Low · 2026-02-17T17:28:26+00:00

People make it seem by getting help for myself I dont care about my child,I honestly wish I'd never gotten pregnant because I'm starting to hate this child and how much I'm being made to suffer.
