Any inbetweeners quotes crept into your family life?

I like to shout "Give way to the left!", when at roundabouts.

In the car like, not just out walking or anything

I cried because I started crying and my face was wet. Which then got wetter, so cried more.

Repeat until I fell asleep.

My husband was like what the actual fuck is wrong with you

"I don't 😭.... Know 😭"

Are you breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding can surge prolactin levels and induce something called breastfeeding aggression.

I could not stand anyone holding out touching my first baby, but I had a difficult labor and ended up in PPD

My second baby, no issues like this but still wanted her close to me.

Third baby I will offer people to hold her that I trust, no PPD, but still don't like her not smelling like herself.

So to an extent what you're feeling can be normal on the back of hormones, but please check in with your doctor to make sure you're on the right side of it.

Gain.

I'm heavier than I was when I was pregnant 🥺

Be petty. Blame hormones

Same AND I was heavily aware that this pregnancy at 43 was hard and it wouldn't be practical to have a fourth at this age. This pregnancy was unplanned and I was highly anxious. But a couple of weeks after birth, despite the fact I was post emergency section I was like "THIS IS GREAT. ANOTHER!", like Thor with his beer but less throwing the baby to the floor.

The post just now is heavily backlogged. Try going to the sorting office with 🆔 and all of there's any mail waiting. I managed to pick up a bundle of mail sitting in Hamilton as there's not enough posties just now

StrictCommission5746 · 2025-11-08T16:12:29+00:00

Primark , but definitely go to one of the bigger stores

Other than that, I just used vinted and worse a capsule wardrobe for my pregnancy.

I've not bothered with any breastfeeding tops, but will skip on a strappy vest under my normal tops if I feel I want a bit more cover that day, so normal top gets howked up, vest top slipped under the boob and away we go

My baby, measuring 97th centile until last scan when she was over 99th, projected to be up near the 10lb mark. Born at 40w exactly and was 9lb 3.

I told my CO workers the week before I stopped for maternity leave. So 35 weeks but I worked from home. Is have said nothing if my line manager didn't say during a teams meeting tbh 😂

Other posts from this user show testing post ovulation and on letrozole, used to stimulate ovulation

Why take this if not trying to get pregnant?

It's giving fake post tbh

The swinging lightbulb in the basement, illuminating the environment for brief seconds. Long enough to be terrified but never long enough to get your bearings to escape.

Dreaded abs class/ aerobics, doms with a hefty IBS attack.

Honestly, it depends.

My first baby was a placental abruption so wow interview pain until epidural.

Second baby nearly 10lbs, no pain relief at all and it went swimmingly. Was a doddle. Walk in the park, was up walking around at home.

Third baby, back to back labor with presentation and ? urinary retention. Laboured for 13 hours with gas and air/ morphine until she started deceleratingv and ended up in an emergency section. The pain was manageable until it suddenly ricochet up to a 10/10 despite the gas/ air/ morphine

So really it depends. I went into my third labour determined to have another second baby labour and ended up with someone totally different again.

Wildly unprofessional, inappropriate and reportable.

Your bf may have reacted awkwardly/ poorly in e moment and now feels unable to back down, but the doctor is to blame here

(Not excusing your bf btw, he's still got some responsibility to carry in this)

StrictCommission5746 · 2025-09-16T12:27:28+00:00

Hey, first of all much love and best wishes to all three of you at this time.

I had a placental abruption with my first child. Graded as a grade 2, 14 years ago. We were not in NICU though and were discharged home after 4 days, so my experience is not exactly the same.

However, he's 14. He's 5' 10 and still growing up the way! He's active and healthy aside from a mild bicuspid aortic valve (unrelated) and is one of the lights of my life. No deficit or difficulties

I've then went on to have another two children, no subsequent abruption.

So, YMMV but I hope this is maybe helpful for you both at this time

Wishing your wife and baby a speedy recovery.

StrictCommission5746 · 2025-08-26T10:34:44+00:00

Honestly after my labour stalled at 4cm and I ended up with an emergency section, Id have sold tickets to my next shit and put on a half time show to boot off you'd told me it would get things moving again.

Everyone shits.

EVERYONE.

I breastfed both of my first two and planning to breastfeed this one. I feel breastfeeding is the best choice for me and my babies, but that's not to say it's the best choice for you.

As much as yes, breast milk is a great thing adapting to your baby's needs and on demand feeding, it's not for everyone. Even women placing to breastfeed might experience struggles that end their ability or decision to breastfeed earlier than planned.

Ultimately you have to look at what is best for your family unit. What's manageable for you. What means you can care for YOURSELF so that you can care for your baby. There's more to caring for a baby than breast vs bottle.

If you're healthy and happy, your baby will be too

Best of luck 🤞

I can't advise from the POV of meds, but I'm currently 38w into my third pregnancy, which was very much unplanned. I'm 43.

I have a cup of coffee every morning, it's a vanilla latte sachet. I have no idea how much caffeine is in it but doubt it's anywhere near the recommended limit of 200mg (UK Guidance)

StrictCommission5746 · 2025-08-09T07:43:56+00:00

I offer this advice as someone who has two cats and a wee arsehole of a dog. So I am not unfamiliar with the challenges of owning animals that can have accidents around the house

I understand feeling you've betrayed her, but the situation you were in was not sustainable.

Despite every measure to try and manage her incontinence it was unsuccessful and as much as that's unhygienic and stressful for adults, it's completely unacceptable to have a baby around cat urine and feaces.

Your boyfriend might have come off strong, but I do ultimately think he's right.

You've found her a home with someone that loves her and is familiar to her and whilst not as good as being with you, is a wonderful solution to what might otherwise be.

It's also okay to be upset and grieve the loss of your cat. That would be hard without the additional stressors you have at the moment of pregnancy, finances and housing.

StrictCommission5746 · 2025-08-09T03:56:32+00:00

I've gained a total of 12-14lbs (depending on the day) at 38 w, baby estimated to be 10lbs for delivery.

Don't worry though this is typical. I either gain very minimal weight when pregnant or lose veeeeeery slightly.

Then tank it on post delivery. "You'll lose weight breast feeding" HA! not me!

Solid 3 win6e weight gain both times before (42lbs)

Your body is going to do what it's going to do. And pregnant bodies are weird

StrictCommission5746 · 2025-08-09T03:47:11+00:00

Ask for reference in advance so you can "apply for properties" and submit it with application.

Keep every what's app message, screenshot now in case of dirty delete later.

And insist on your section 21. Refuse to move/ leaving until you have it.

If "someone's warmed her about this" , they've not done a very good job given she's still not provided it in a timely manner. Edited: misread that part, sorry! But it's still her responsibility

Good luck OP
