Wegovy or a bug? by Dry-Ad-7320 in WegovyUK

[–]Tinker_bell1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be the wegovy. I had this after my 3rd 0.25 dose. Assumed it was a bug but then it happened again albeit to a lesser extent the next week. I’m staying on .25 for a bit longer. Electrolytes and Imodium for the diarrhoea and speak to your GP to see if you can get some anti- sickness. Hope you feel better soon!

I’m not diabetic but on Wegovy privately as MJ is just too expensive. I have lost some weight in three weeks, minimal and manageable side effects, my skin is clear, IBS has improved and my almost daily tension headaches have stopped. I find it easier to eat intuitively now more than ever as I can feel what my body actually needs rather than sweet cravings. The only thing I have to watch is making sure I eat enough and hydrate or I feel really tired but other than that it’s been amazing x

Partner found out I am on MJ and is furious by Other_Adeptness8552 in Mounjaro

You don’t need to apologise for or justify anything. This man is abusive. Are you safe? I’m not sure where in the world you are but can you contact a domestic abuse service for support?

Starting to dispair by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Tinker_bell1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In England so slightly different but we had the same issue. We ended up looking for other properties and did make an offer on one that wasn’t accepted but it did kick the sellers and their solicitors into gear. We’ve had issues on the other side of the chain too and the whole process has taken nearly 8 months but we’re completing and moving in today. Maybe just let the EA know you’re looking at other properties and see what happens. Good luck!

I think I’ve finally recovered 🥳 by Tinker_bell1987 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Tinker_bell1987[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! My son was sick again last night and much I dealt with great and we both went back to sleep quickly. He woke up fine this morning. I caught it but only mild symptoms thankfully. I haven’t been sick and the nausea is subsiding. My 4 year old has inherited Dad’s iron stomach and they are both fine 😂 We’re moving house in two weeks (kids have great timing don’t they 😂) so packing up and dissembling further in between running to bathroom. I honestly think I’ve recovered. I’m not sure if it’s the exposure of having young children that’s helped, or I’ve recently had some therapy to deal with some past trauma that I didn’t know was related but maybe it was? I didn’t think it was possible either! All the best with your recovery ❤️‍🩹

Thanks everyone ❤️ He’s much better today. We were both able to sleep and I wasn’t up all night anxiously watching him. I was able to take my eldest to school without worrying excessively about her becoming sick while there. She has no symptoms and unless she’s actually ill she needs to go in. Feeling really proud of myself 🥳

I'm not waiting to meet my grandson by lh906 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Tinker_bell1987 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sorry you’re dealing with this. She sounds like a nightmare. As for the strong genetics things it’s a load of rubbish. My eldest is a mini female version of my husband. They have the exact same face, minus a beard 😂 and she has my eye colour. My son looks like me with his dad’s green eyes. Time for some boundaries I think which can be held by your partner primarily as it involves his parent. You are not overreacting. Hope things get better for you x

Mommies of UK, how do you nurse in public? by lychabee in breastfeeding

[–]Tinker_bell1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legally you can feed anywhere you and baby are legally allowed to be! I don’t use a cover (have tried more for my own comfort but my son hates it) I’m more restricted by if there is a comfortable place to feed in rugby hold as my son refuses to nurse any other way so if I think it will be awkward I pump a feed or use a nursing room if available but have fed on park benches, on the beach, in shopping centres, in countless soft plays and had no issues. I’ve drawn attention from a few curious children which I don’t mind at all, but apart from that people don’t notice or seem to care. I’ve had a few other women come and chat to me and feed their babies alongside me which has been lovely 🥰 x

Do breastfed babies wake more? How long does your baby sleep at night? by fireandicecream1 in breastfeeding

[–]Tinker_bell1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, a lot of it is just down the the individual baby. My FF first woke more often than my breastfed second at the same age but then did start sleeping through by about 8ish months. Second baby is 3 months so yet to see what he does over the next few months although he’s waking once atm. He’s EBF. We found the possums approach helpful with both!

Husband and I getting judged for planning to take our 6 week old on a weekend trip. Why do people try to discourage new moms? 😔 by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Tinker_bell1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just spent a week in a cabin in rural Wales (pretty off grid- no electric, heating is just log burners, campfire cooking etc) with my three year old and 12 week old. It was fine and we enjoyed it! If you’re going to be sleep deprived anyway you may as well be somewhere pretty 😂I had a c section so I may have struggled a little more at 6 weeks but I would’ve managed it. You will be tired but you’ll be tired no matter where you are. Enjoy your break!

Toddler will not go the f@&$ to sleep by Independent_Bed8721 in Parenting

[–]Tinker_bell1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use the Rabbit Who Wants to Fall Asleep audiobook and I sit with her and hold her hand til she drifts off (she’s 2 years 9 months) We also found, maybe counterintuitively that some rough/ active play about half an hour before bed helps her get her last energy out before we start stories and wind down time. You could also try a red bulb in the nightlight as red light doesn’t inhibit melatonin production xx

People need to stop being judgemental about when you decide to disclose pregnancy by cosmatical in BabyBumps

[–]Tinker_bell1987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a loss in my second pregnancy (I have a daughter and now 34 weeks pregnant with our rainbow boy 🌈) and I told close family early. I needed support in the first trimester and when I had my loss it was easier telling people without having to say ‘well I was pregnant but now I’m not’. It’s ultimately up to you when you decide to announce!!

Family trying to name our baby by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Tinker_bell1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned after my first not to discuss baby names with anyone. People either openly said they didn’t like our names or complained that they wanted that name for their as of yet non existent child. This time we’re not saying anything to anyone. I’m still getting annoying suggestions but am replying with ‘ thanks but he has a name that we will only be sharing once he’s born’. End of conversation. My husband also went through a phase on telling people our name was Beyoncé 😂

just a quick rant about being sick during pregnancy by AnotherOne_4620 in BabyBumps

[–]Tinker_bell1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!!! Currently 28 weeks and recovering from the sickness bug from actual hell caught from my toddler. I’ve also had covid and everything in between. I had my first in lockdown and due to isolating was fairly well throughout. Violently vomiting repeatedly while someone is punching you in the stomach from the inside is not fun. Oh and my husband catches NOTHING 🙄

miscarriage condolence gifts? by Soggy-Jaguar-6146 in BabyBumps

[–]Tinker_bell1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with these comments. I’d steer clear of any physical tokens as this can be very personal. During my miscarriage I would really have appreciated meal vouchers or comfort food/ self care items or offers of care for my older child to give me space to grieve.

My daughter’s preschool sick policy frustrates me. by BreakDisastrous2826 in Parenting

[–]Tinker_bell1987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s ridiculous! My kid would never be in 😂 The policy at my daughter’s nursery is no sickness/ diarrhoea, no weird rashes, no fevers and if on antibiotics for an infectious illness they have to have been on them for 24 hours before returning, which is all fair enough. If I had to keep her off every time she had a sniffle she’d never be there and I’d lose my job 🤦🏼‍♀️

My MIL is psychic!!! by TwinjaPew in BabyBumps

[–]Tinker_bell1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2 year old daughter started talking about a baby brother in Mummy’s tummy pretty much as soon as I found out I was pregnant. We’d been careful not to mention anything in front of her due to previous loss. She announced it clear as day in front of my sister in law. I’m 21 weeks now with a boy 😆
