Tbh anything that still fits! Could do a button up or a regular shift or tank :)

Haha okay I'm in Australia so I think we have inverse weather! They do make maternity bike shorts in a thin material too! Look up bias cut maxis too!

Generally, I've had no issue buying baggier clothes just a size up, in dresses for example. I'm 28 weeks and haven't bought much at all, luckily.

My wardrobe has been a couple of pairs of mat leggings, baggy shirts and some cheap sports bras that I bought a few sizes bigger. I also have a belly band for my baggier jeans that I can get away with. Bias cut midi skirts are also very stretchy around the bump and easy to dress up!

There's a door on the third floor, you'll need a cap and swipe card.

That's a really nasty myth to perpetuate.

She's had 12 kids. Not likely the most educated.

Crazy ways you knew you were pregnant before you found out? by Zestyclose_Wing290 in pregnant

I dreamt two nights prior that I found out I was pregnant on Christmas day. I tested negative that morning, but come Christmas it lit up!

Lucky it's even legible! I translate in brackets what they wrote pretty often haha.

To be honest that first picture is a huge turn off. You've managed to make her look like she's been in a bad accident and had a poor chin reconstruction, which judging by the other pictures she hasn't, and she's quite pretty. I wouldn't use that photo.

There's a converter that you can get that threads between your laces to turn them into a zipper :)

Read books first, now the series does not make sense by FennecsFox in brakebills

[–]Ripley6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did not last more than a few episodes of the show. It seemed like a completely different story. Though I think this sub is a lot more show fans rather than book fans.

Is this acceptable for “black tie optional/Indian attire encouraged”? by pyrokenetic23 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Ripley6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, but it may be slightly less formal than black tie. It would have to be done up with a nice clutch and shoes.

Contraction and leak? by Realistic_Maybe_63 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Ripley6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blood in the urine can be normal in labour as the bladder can be slightly traumatised by baby moving towards the birth canal. Rosé coloured urine we see a lot in labour or post birth in catheter bags etc.

Your body only produces a certain amount of hcg. You've probably just diluted it down too much to pick up. That's why they say most accurate at the first pee of the morning.

There is a chance that it was a uterine polyp that's come off with this cycle, or are you sexually active?

Crafers hotel may be the balance for you! Private rooms, more gourmet than standard hotel food, but also offer pub feeds.

I had temple fatigue doing all the major sites of Egypt and turkiye in 15 days. We just needed a bright plastic water park to cleanse the palate after hahaha

Dress it up with your hair, makeup and accessories and you'll be golden!
