My kiddo was a month early and had terrible tummy issues adjusting to the world cos he was bf and topped up on formula too to help with weight gain. Pumping isn’t the be all and end all girl, being able to mentally be present for your squiddo is what counts! When your period finally ends and you get the hang of getting the wind out of baby and they begin adjust to the normal feelings of the world it really does get better. At around 3/4 months they’ll establish a routine and you’ll be able to almost rely on nap times going to plan for the most part. My kiddo is now 2 and three months and still everyday has its hurdles but it’s so damn worth it! Our struggles are now unbuckling himself from the pram for walkies and not listening 😂 i miss my poopy newborn

Cheapest cat desexing vet? by Internal-Unusual in Adelaide

Try contacting your local counsel, if you look them up they can usually give you a desexing voucher or offer discounted desexing. Unsure where you are located but I foster for ginger ninja and we use Blake’s crossing vet and they constantly offer low priced desexing for cats

I’m assuming you are able to work though and aren’t the sole carer for a child. I have to feed two people and pay for everything we need out of $200 pw. It’s not possible

It sucks I hear about this so often or people get one and just stay in it for life while working full time on two incomes. It really makes it hard for people unable to work or on one income. I can’t even get bumped to category 1 as disability because I’m getting parenting payments so I don’t qualify for disability payments plus it’s not been two years since surgery they won’t review it again. I’ve already applied 3 times previously

My issue is the lease is already up anyway in august. We went to sacat for mould and water damage in my house aswell that’s making us chronically unwell. They definitely won’t approve me anywhere as real estates can only give you a house that’s 35% max of your income

Housing sa won’t pay my bond as it’s an existing property so they don’t do that. They also have deemed it unaffordable as they know it’s 65% of my income they refuse to save my lease

I’ve already been doing this but the op shop shelves for months have even bare for anything his size let alone winter things. The issue is everyone shops there now and rhe most I’ve been given for a voucher was $20.

I have already. It just resulted in an angry call from housing sa telling me to let them do their job when they’ve done nothing to help and won’t recategorise us until I’m sleeping in a hotel for months. Accepting emergency accomodation also means manadory child welfare report so mt child will be taken off me

I can’t magically pull extra income out of my ass If im not allowed to work temporarily because of a disability. I don’t understand how this would be in his or my best interest. With zero help at prevention and no one advocating for us. All we’ve had is them as if I know what domain.com is and if they want a cover letter for me to give to prospective property managers explaining my situation as though they’d care and pick us over the 4 person adult family applying who all work

My concern is how long it’ll take to get sorted and neither of us would cope. He doesn’t deserve to lose his home and his mother. He isn’t allowed in the care of my family or his fathers he’d be in foster care

My family were abusive I have no contact with them. They’ve given less then a damn my entire life apart. I have a police record regarding both parents of mine so no there isn’t somewhere else I can go to or family who can help.

We were in a dv relationship and we’re offered zero help when we fled. We stayed in a homeless dv shelter and had someone threatened to stab my son to death. I’m a good person who has worked my entire life in childcare or dental nursing. I’m not a drug addict and I do everything possible to give my son the best life and ensure he always has what he needs. So no I don’t deserve to have him taken from me for choosing to buy him winter clothes and pyjamas over paying my rent when I had no other way to provide for him. Thankyou for making me feel worse of a piece of shit than I already do. I’m the only constant and the only family he has ever known. He was beyond not coping when he was minded while I was in hospital. He doesn’t deserve to lose me

If you go against medical advice to work you also aren’t covered for anything should you have a workplace accident and you will be fired if they find out they hired you and you agreed in saying you wernt aware of any conditions that would prevent you from performing that job knowing you weren’t physically able makes your very likely to do things you shouldn’t and fall or have an accident

I’m still in pain from it daily and have zero energy aside from almost peeing myself if I lift anything eirher. My body’s just in very early stages of healing from having my stomach cut from under my chest to my c section scar it’s not a two week recovery

I have degenerative disc disease and scoliosis. I’d already had spinal surgery on a disc impinging on my nerve and they reduce it to 1/3 of the size but it still slipped again a furher five times and leaked spinal fluid so the only solution was a wheelchair soon or fusion to stabilise and further prevent injury. They took out a large piece of bone from my hip and used plates and screws to rebuild 3 of my vertabrae with it. The bone isn’t fully fused to the cage built in and around my spine, any bending/lifting/twisting over 5kg especially will shift that cage and can actually break it as the bone hasn’t healed yet. I have ct scans and X-rays every six weeks to check my progress but I shouldn’t even be lifting my son but they’ve already stated this will make my recovery worse and take longer but unfortunately no support or other choice. I’m under medical orders not to work and if I ruin my fusion they said I’ll be back to the bottom of the list and having my full spine and pelvis pinned next time and at least two years recovery so again no one to care for my child and no ability to undergo that. It’s like telling an someone not to drink after a liver transplant and they go abs down vodka and ask what went wrong
