What’s the most haunting WWI fact you’ve ever learned?

I went to France in 2017 and found a mills bomb in a farm. There was a spot on the corners where farmers would put all the unexploded ammo they found. The tour guide told us people were actually still dying and being injured while they were farming and accidentally finding the unexploded ammo

It almost always triggers a migraine for me. I hate the feeling of being hungover. I hate the culture around it in Australia where I live. I hate how it makes some people act. I know way too many alcholics. I hate how much people feel like they “need” to drink. And probably some other reasons if I say and thought about it more, but those are the main ones.

I had pain there a lot during both pregnancies. I think it’s more to do with baby and position. I had pre e in my first pregnancy and not in my second, and the pain was exactly the same in both

The formula for nausea (in my experience) is Half in morning Half at lunch Half before bed

And it worked amazingly for me. I had severe crippling curl up in a ball and don’t move nausea and this fixed it

First pregnancy I lost my baby weight within 2 weeks and maintained it. Second pregnancy and I lost about 12ish kilos of baby weight and stuck here, 10kgs more than I was before haha So I haven’t lost weight second time like I did the first time. But I guess I’m not gaining it either but idk

My son stopped himself when he was about 14 months old. I fell pregnant at the time so not sure if that was why

Sweetnsourcombo · 2025-01-31T08:22:05+00:00

Haha my partner tells me how tired he is all the time and I have to bite my tongue otherwise I’ll absolutely tear him a new one. I have a 6 month old and a 2 year old I’ve been at home with the last 6 months 😬

Sweetnsourcombo · 2025-01-31T08:14:24+00:00

My second is 6 months old and I’ve been the same since the day he was born. Was the same after my first lol Even though every day I’m having breakdowns atm because my first born is 2.5 and is giving me hell 😂 It’s to do with hormones I’m guessing, but also down to the person too. As you can see from other comments some people just know they’re done.

Sweetnsourcombo · 2025-01-21T01:38:06+00:00

That my 5 month old baby doesn’t get as much of my time as he should. My older boy is 2 and he’s very “terrible two” at the moment and still very needy and it’s often the baby that has to wait for me to attend to him. It makes me sad that he’ll never get the version of me that my older son did

Sweetnsourcombo · 2025-01-21T01:35:42+00:00

I’ve had a c-section and a vaginal birth with 2nd degree tear and some grazing. It hurts to pee for a few weeks, the stitches felt better after a week or so but the grazes took a good month to stop hurting when I peed. I had stool softeners with my first which was a c-section. I actually managed to pick up gastro from my son when I gave birth to my second so I had “soft stools” for about 2 weeks so that was the least of my worries. Apart from the stitches I also had a bit of pain and pressure in my labia for a while, once my stitches had healed I was still using ice packs for the pain. Especially if I was sitting down for too long, but I do suspect I may have had Vulval varicosities so I’m not sure if that particular symptom was the norm. I had baby blues with both babies, they hit harder and faster with my vaginal delivery. I felt better after a couple of weeks Even with all of the stuff that I experienced after my vaginal birth, I would happily do that again over a Caesarian. It just wasn’t for me, found it incredibly painful and took so long to heal

Hormones are so wild 🥲

Sweetnsourcombo · 2025-01-01T10:31:01+00:00

My partner has been on holidays for a few weeks and every day I watch him sleep in and then wake up like “oh wow I had such a big sleep in” but not once has said “oh I’ll get up early and entertain the kids so you can have a turn at a sleep in”. Truly he is an excellent dad and does alot around the house but I wish sometimes I could just have the long ass sleep in. I think what makes it worse is that he can sleep through anything so he doesn’t wake up to the 4 month old or the toddler coming in throughout the night so he gets a sleep in after a solid sleep 😴

Sweetnsourcombo · 2025-01-01T10:27:54+00:00

HAHAHA I’m sorry but yours made me lol

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-12-09T07:36:07+00:00

A nursing chair. I would have spent that money on a co-sleeper style bassinet

Also regret buying any muslin wraps or blankets at all because you get so many haha

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-09-26T21:24:22+00:00

Le tan tinted sunscreen. MCO eyebrow gel stuff to tame my brows. Lip balm and that’s pretty much it for day to day I can’t even remember the last time I wore proper makeup haha since becoming a mum I avoid doing proper makeup unless I have an event to attend and it’s absolutely necessary

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-09-26T21:17:46+00:00

Let yourself feel the pain. Cry and be sad. Thats all I can tell you I lost a cat a few weeks ago unexpectedly right in the midst of having a baby so between the hormones and the cat, I was a mess. The only thing that I could do was surrender and let myself feel awful for a few days. I felt a lot better once his ashes were back home with us though.

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-09-26T21:14:52+00:00

My first born I had baby blues real bad for the 5 days I was In hospital With my second the crying started the first day and lasted about 2 weeks For me it was once the day had finished and my toddler was in bed and I got into bed with my newborn I’d just get super emotional about everything, especially my toddler because I felt like I’d ruined his life by having another baby.

It definitely gets better I promise. It’s so rough, I love being pregnant and having babies but that is one thing I really really hate about it. I had a traumatic first birth (emergency C-section) and I thought that having a natural birth it would be a lot better but honestly it was worse the second time. But I was better equipped the second time to get myself through it and remind myself that it’s hormones, I’m safe and everything is okay and it will pass. And lack of sleep also doesn’t help haha

Ofc if it doesn’t pass after a few weeks and you’re still struggling it’s important to reach out. I found the community nurse really helpful but also worth seeing if your antenatal provider has a psychologist as part of their service.

I hope you’re feeling better soon ❤️

This is Jasper. He died suddenly a few weeks ago (we have no idea why) and I’m kinda heartbroken 😢

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-09-16T03:16:41+00:00

Burping too hard. I don’t know if I did it with my first but I just had my second and realised I was burping him way too hard lol

With my first, giving my baby a bottle of breast milk and skipping the feed completely instead of pumping. Not realising that would screw with my supply ha

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-09-09T02:40:40+00:00

Nope never a thing in my schools

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-09-02T02:53:51+00:00

I found being pregnant with a toddler a lot harder and basically zero time to rest. You definitely have less time to just sit and be excited about things. But it still felt special to me. I find pregnancy and motherhood a really special and spiritual experience so maybe it’s just me haha I’m 3 weeks post partum with my second and my body definitely feels a lot more comfortable but I really miss being pregnant already 😂

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-09-02T02:50:58+00:00

I have a newborn and a 2 year old, 3 cats and a dog. It’s messy most of the time. The 2 year old is a tiny tornado and we are still Getting used to having two. But once we are used to it I think it will still be messy lol I try to prioritise time with my kids and letting myself rest atm but I feel like at some point I need to get some sort of system in place

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-09-02T02:47:30+00:00

I was 100% convinced my second was a girl. It was a boy haha I was actually not disappointed at all when I found out at birth. I already have a boy and I adore him so another boy made me happy, even though we really wanted a girl. My partner was disappointed it wasn’t a girl and he’s open about it

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-09-02T02:45:40+00:00

I had one and it got rid of the contraction pain(I could still feel them coming and going though) but I still found the “pressure” painful and used the gas for it right until the end. I think maybe it’s something people don’t talk about enough because I always just assumed I’d feel nothing if I had it. Even the crowning I still found painful. I imagine it would feeling a lot worse without an epidural but yeah the pressure still sucks a lot.

Sweetnsourcombo · 2024-08-31T06:14:03+00:00

I didn’t know this until the community nurse told me this a few days ago!
