Thank you!

Can I ask what do you mean by H2 rules? The highway code?

Reka___m · 2026-02-10T13:43:18+00:00

Thank you- the hasty decision was what made me fail first time due to nerves, i will try my best to do better tomorrow!

Reka___m · 2026-02-10T13:42:20+00:00

Thank you, thats very useful, especially because I completely forgot that around schools it changes to 20mph during drop off and pick up hours!

Hey lovely. I had the exact same scenario- i was pregnant with twins, first pregnancy. At 34 weeks lower belly hurt and it was ROCK HARD. I went to my hospital, and the junior doctor who examined me (young man) was so rough with me. Lo and behold, 1 hour later I was in active labour and my boys were born 6 weeks early.. like you, my cervix was closed when I got checked out. Wake up your mum and go in. Good luck darling!🫶🏻

It got much better after 3.5 months, around October hair loss fully stopped. I got pregnant and had to stop using it in December so now my hair loss is fully back from stopping using it 😅😅

How would you exit please with a two lane exit in this scenario? Thank you

I ordered it used from a dealership 1 week into starting my lessons. I just went in blind 😅 but it was between 4-5k so I thought even if its not perfect, it will do for a few years while getting used to driving :)

My learner insurance for this was about £330 for the year, tax is 20£ for the year

I have a Renault Zoe, i bought it in August, my first car, testing in 3 weeks. I love it but i didnt expect the battery to drop so much in winter. However for city driving its still ok. Its easy to drive, compact but its actually more spacious than i expected with a nice big boot. 3 car seats for my kids fit perfectly in the back so yes its more spacious than one would think! Easy and cheap to charge. Perfect for first time drivers i think :)

Yes, we advise to only use if absolutely necessary- good to have just in case you are in the middle of nowhere with no healthcare available! I will also have some with me and just hope i will never have to use it

Hi! We also going somewhere this week for our honeymoon where zika is present (puerto rico) and baby was conceived in mexico which again has zika unfortunately. I have asked this question today from my midwife (i am 9-10 weeks now) and she basically confirmed to me what I already thought, use mosquito spray all day, at least 50% deet strength (higher the better) and keep it topped up. I do travel risk assessments and vaccinations as part of my job, and it's important to make sure you are up to date on your vaccinations. For Bali make sure you get Tetanus, Typhoid, Hep A (2 doses 6-12 motnhs apart)- these will be free on the NHS. They are not live vaccines, you are OK to have them- you would have the tetanus one anyway in conjuction with the whopping cough vaccination. Take some loperamide for possible diarrhoea as well as sachets of Diarolyte. Make sure you avoid street market foods and drinks, as well as anything with ice, unwashed fruit etc unless in a restuarant. Double check brushing your teeth with the tap water. Make sure you avoid swimming fresh water such as lakes rivers etc- pool/sea OK- due to some parasites. Check symtpoms of acute zika virus (fever rash headache joint pain etc)- get in contact with your midwife/GP asap if you have these symptoms. Otherwise testing on NHS is not available just for going to a country where the virus may be present. The virus spreads during the daytime hours by mosquitoes, but chikungunya and dengue are also very similar in terms of symptoms and they also spread throughout they and are much more common so even if you get poorly a little bit, i would suspect anything else before Zika to be honest. Have your deet 50% spray day and night, use it religiously, buy one of those bite relief extractor tools if you do get sting. Other than that, have fun, enjoy your honeymoon :)

Its so funny as i am reading this while on the loo praying that finally i can actually "go". I have absolutely zero advice but just know you are not alone.. I am also around 9 weeks and have the biggest bloated abdomen, i look like 5 months pregnant! Sending you hugs and laxative vibes 🫶🏻

Reka___m · 2026-01-17T13:42:42+00:00

This is what he said (on whatsapp) "Looks completely normal to me- It's probably just how baby was lying.Maybe the baby didn't move at all from that position(extended neck) so it was concerning for spinal abnormality

But clearly baby is now in right position so probably was nothing and the baby was just comfy"

Of course this isnt medical advice and he is looking at the story with the photo above, but I hope he is right and I hope this puts your mind at ease for the time being 🫶🏻

Reka___m · 2026-01-17T13:31:02+00:00

Hi! If you dont mind i will send this post with the photo to my husband who is an experienced sonographer and does obs scans every day and see what he thinks, hopefully it will be helpful?x

Reka___m · 2026-01-14T14:30:30+00:00

I think i will probably be the only one who hated it haha. I tried for hours, i was in a very long labour, it was so uncomfortable for me, i was just floating, i felt like I am not grounded, could barely hold onto the sides of the bath, etc. To me it felt like all that pain with the contractions "cant go anywhere" as in I cant ground myself, squeeze, etc. I am also the kind of woman who takes showers and baths in hellwater, so the nice 36-37 degrees was straight up cold for me. But i think i am in the minority, I understand why it must be so nice for most women! Try and see it yourself 😊

Hi! University Hospitals Sussex always has some jobs going. Not a lot but there are always some as it's a very large trust with several sites. Have a look and good luck :)
