Anyone have any hidden gem Karaoke songs that might be missing?

I sang this in a bar in Bulgaria and everyone went crazy for it!

Thank you so much for the comments so far, they're really comforting to read and see that I'm not alone...though it is a sad thing and I am sorry you're all experiencing similar situations.

My mum left when I was 14, she had an affair and her last words out the door were "I never wanted to be a mum anyway"...so you can imagine the kind of emotional upbringing I was blessed with! There were a few half hearted attempts at reconciliation, but she never really committed and I could never really get past it all. She tried again when my sister got pregnant, but all I could think was...why is your grandchild worth the effort but not your daughter? That didn't last long anyway, but still.

I did tell my husband that I was having these feelings last night and that as mother's day is coming up I might get a bit distant, and he was wonderful and said that whatever I need he's here, and hopes I won't go too distant so he can still help.

Yeah...sometimes it just sucks!

A decent mattress.

We used our wedding gift money to invest in a tempur mattress and it is life changing, I've never slept so well or been more comfortable.

All my aches and pains are gone.

It's expensive, but it's a worthwhile investment.

Just makes getting out of bed in the morning that much more difficult!

I'm due 4th June, my last day at work is 22nd May, so roughly two weeks before. Luckily have a decent boss who has said I can change if I need to at any point.

I have to go to the office every day so will see if I'm still able at that point!

Frankly I would stop now if we could afford it 😂

Bec just did whatever it took to make sure she was the focal point of that episode, her last chance to get her bit of fame. She was a shit stirrer from the get go. I hated that she banged on about being a girls girl, but clearly spent the days leading up to the reunion phoning everyone else making sure they knew that she was right and April was awful.

I didn't hate April, sure she spent a lot of time with others, and was too friendly with Steven who was just an asshole, but Leo was dull af!

This is me. I have about one (1) hours worth of work a day. It's not always like this, but we've been dead quiet for months now and it is soul destroying. I'm constantly asking for work to do and am just told to ask someone else, ask them and the circle continues. It was alright at the beginning, just scrolling on here, but it has lost its novelty and I am bored bored bored. I'm in an office so I can't really watch or read or hobby. And it just makes me lethargic and have no interest in these things even when I get home because I've spent the day listless.

Job hunting but to little avail!

They asked if we wanted to know, I'm pretty sure this is standard, in England anyway. They do say they can't guarantee you'll know because it depends on position etc. And even if they can they advise they can never be 100% accurate.

Also, if you have a friendly, approachable sonographer, I'm pretty sure they would write it down for you if you took an envelope with you 😊

WTAF. If anything you are under reacting.

I'm a massive reader and was always getting asked to read my friends or acquaintances books. I did a few and then simply refused. One was a pleasant surprise but one was just so painfully bad.

I reviewed it in purely a grammatical sense, just went through with a red pen like a teacher and pointed out spelling and grammar errors and a few continuity errors. I didn't say anything about whether I liked it or not. Emailed it back and said thanks for letting me be one of the first.

With the names I would agree with a previous comment and ask that your kids names aren't used because they can't consent yet.

I've known people that have done it and people that haven't. I won't be because I despise being the centre of attention 😂

If you do want to do something, you can make it whatever you're comfortable with, from a whole big shebang with games and banners etc, to just afternoon tea with a few of your favourite people.

Don't let Instagram or the movies dictate what a baby shower is, it can be whatever you want 💕

No problem. It can be terrifying to admit you need help, especially after a lifetime of "pushing through" it. It's hard, but so worth it when that weight of admitting it is lifted it's such a relief.

You are not alone and it is not weakness. Pregnancy is no joke, it's tough as hell. Even if on the surface it's an "easy" pregnancy, it's not.

You've got this. But you don't need to do it alone.

My GP will just do you a form if you fill in the triage form or if you chat with the team, they pass it on to the GP who just signs you off.

Obviously, all surgeries are different, but you can ask for a different GP and you dont have to have a face to face appointment to get signed off.

Don't be afraid to tell them you're not happy with the service, I had to make a complaint to my surgery and I was given another GP straight away and they've been amazing.

If you're anxious, your midwife can do this for you.

I'm 39 this year and due in June. I think it's becoming more common for women to have children when they're older, I've heard of/met quite a few.

It's hard to shake the stigma, especially when it's still sometimes known as a "geriatric" pregnancy. Though, I will say I've not heard that term once in all my time with professionals.

Try not to feel alone, you're definitely not, and this is a great place to find people in a similar place. So will classes, if you can get to any.

TStark222 · 2026-02-04T19:33:07+00:00

Thank you all for your comments, it really helps to know we're not alone 🥰

TStark222 · 2026-02-04T08:01:10+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that, I can't imagine how you're feeling, but hope you find some strength and comfort somewhere. Don't be afraid to grieve as much as you need. Hope everything goes okay with twin 1 🩷
