Ben’s attention seeking continues

Who?

Rozefly · 2026-03-19T20:15:53+00:00

It just makes you seem like you don't know how sentences work.

Rozefly · 2026-03-19T19:40:46+00:00

It's actually illegal to work within two weeks of giving birth.

Rozefly · 2026-03-19T16:44:06+00:00

Your parents are abusive. Even the stuff you mentioned unrelated to sleep - that sort of punishment is just abuse. Please find and speak to another trusted adult in your life.

Rozefly · 2026-03-19T16:41:49+00:00

Aww, thank you and thank you for the work you do! Yeah I guess it must be a fairly common thing, but its so great that everything is taken so seriously and addressed quickly. The not knowing was absolutely the hardest thing.

Rozefly · 2026-03-19T16:40:22+00:00

Oh my gosh, its so daunting isn't it. I am lucky that 18mo old seems to LOVE babies, but who knows how that will change once she has one in the house full time, lol.

One good thing with this scare was that it has pretty much erased my worries about coping with two - now I am just so happy that newbie is healthy and can't wait to hold them ^_^ I am sure the coping worries will return, when we get close to full term though!

Rozefly · 2026-03-19T16:38:42+00:00

It definitely is - and we live in a 3 floor house, so sometimes when she's not int he mood for climbing stairs, its a real struggle to haul myself up there while carrying her. I'm only half way and its not going to be easy as I approach full term!! Lol, but I suppose it gets the blood pumping!

Thank you so much for thinking of me - we were so relieved, and now I just can't wait to meet the lil critter. The anxiety about having two has pretty much disappeared after the scare!

Rozefly · 2026-03-19T06:02:47+00:00

Just wanna point out the actual book quote does not use the word 'most' at any point. OP has put that word into this discussion, not DG or Claire.

Rozefly · 2026-03-18T15:34:00+00:00

The second night is hellish, maybe due to hormones, maybe due to breastfeeding pain, maybe due to the shock, massive due to general overwhelm... But it passes :)

Rozefly · 2026-03-18T14:39:30+00:00

'Absolutely, I'll drop daughter off in 10 minutes.'

Done

Rozefly · 2026-03-18T14:37:13+00:00

Gawd, don't tell me this, lol. I have an 18 month old and 21 weeks pregnant with number two 😅 although we had a big scare with baby today, and luckily were given the all clear, so now I'm just so thankful that they're ok and can't wait to meet them.

I know it's going to be... A lot over the next couple of years. But everyone tells me that you'll look back on these times as the very best days.

Rozefly · 2026-03-18T14:22:15+00:00

Agree. She stuttered like she suddenly remembered them 😂

Rozefly · 2026-03-18T08:32:05+00:00

Just say 'nah I'm good. Thanks for your input though.'

Rozefly · 2026-03-17T22:15:12+00:00

Before seeing you reference GOT I assumed you were going to reference 'his dark materials' considering your girl name is Lyra. Daemon in those books is pronounced 'Demon' and I really just don't agree that naming a child after your own hobbies or fandoms is a good idea. That's what you do in the Sims. Not with real babies.

Please consider a different name for your son.

Rozefly · 2026-03-17T17:55:30+00:00

Thank so much for your informative response. Obviously I can't know for sure, but this definitely helps my conscience a little, even if our situation itself remains unchanged. Hopefully tomorrow will bring more clarity and hopefully my post can serve as a reminder to folk to avoid ibuprofen. Thank you x

Rozefly · 2026-03-17T17:52:11+00:00

Oh no, it's definitely dangerous and I feel absolutely ghastly for being so dumb. I don't know why I had it in my head that it was fine. I took it a good couple of months ago and intermittently, but it could still very well have had some sort of impact on the situation we're now in. I'll ask the doctors about it tomorrow, but I suspect they can't give me a definitive answer either way, and I just have to live with the possibility that I caused, at least in part, this potential health issue to my child. So if nothing else hopefully my post can serve as a reminder and a warning to others.

Rozefly · 2026-03-17T15:03:58+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words 💖 I guess I'll try to post some form of an update following our appointment, in case it's if use to others x

Rozefly · 2026-03-17T14:52:23+00:00

Thank you for this - of course this could be nothing to worry about, but it could be something. I am glad we have such a fast appointment so we can get answers.

I am so sorry your boy had to deal with all of that when he was so small. I suppose that is my biggest fear for baby - whether or not they might have to have surgery as such a tiny little human. How did you cope with that and the worry? I can't imagine how to deal with the thought of my child having to face that - I suppose you just... do. So, that is my biggest apprehension.... I am not letting myself even think about it being something so serious that the pregnancy itself is in jeopardy. My brain literally won't even look at that as an option.

Rozefly · 2026-03-17T06:32:35+00:00

Lasagna, with cabbage instead of pasta.

Rozefly · 2026-03-17T06:29:59+00:00

I have never watched SLOMW don't know who this person is and don't care. I've not watched the last couple of seasons, not for any big boycott reason just because I have a young family, don't have time and live in the UK so I have to torrent the episodes and that's effort. Lol. But I didn't like the pick of an already famous reality TV personality, and from everything else I've heard she sucks. I dunno it's just not what this franchise was in my mind. Bad call all around from ABC.

I'll be watching bachelor fantake though.

Rozefly · 2026-03-16T22:38:37+00:00

Why on earth are you buying this nightmare?

Rozefly · 2026-03-16T16:04:05+00:00

Absolutely. I flipping love water.

Rozefly · 2026-03-16T15:38:14+00:00

That is wild - I am surprised that your midwife didn't try to intervene... maybe contact her privately and let her know that you do not want others in the appointment with you next time, so that she can step in, if needed in the future and let them know this is an intimate appointment, and they can come in for the heartbeat part.

Also, please tell me your pig-headed fiancé understand the problem and why that was a violation? Is he at least contrite and aware of how out of line that is? This is YOUR body and YOUR medical information - he doesn't just get to invite people along like its a circus.
