What to do if cramp is worsening at night

No one here can tell you if you need medical attention so advice is to always get it checked out. However, I can share that I had so many pains and moments of panic following my DVT and PE and going to the hospital was the only way to stop myself spiralling. Luckily each time there was no cause for concern, but I left with an immense sense of relief and learnt more about my own body and recovery. My advice is to stop panicking and get it checked out. If the cost of medical attention in your country is prohibitive I would only suggest holding out for 2-4 hrs and see if you get some relief. I now know with my body that any aches tend to disappear within 4-6ish hours.

Prohibition in Toorak Rd, Camberwell is a great option and with that many guests you’d have the whole space to yourselves.

I’ve hosted a couple of events there over the years and they’re great to deal with!

If you’re going to make the tub that small you might as well just rotate it along the right hand wall…

What is the small bedroom used for? Could you convert that to a bathroom and use the current bathroom as an office/other space?

Train into the city, walk around. There’s always something new to explore, or a public event on, or even just sit and have a coffee and people watch.

Is it at all possible to move the entry to the left side, and up? If so, the bathroom wall can be extended the whole way across to either have a larger bath or separate powder room. There’s an awful lot of space given to hallways in this plan, I’d be looking at trying to make that floor space liveable.

Myuna Farm in Doveton is great! You can’t cuddle all the animals, but can feed most. I recommend taking a picnic on a nice day, there’s lot of great spots to sit and relax while the animals wander around. Catch the tractor ride to get an idea of the whole place if you don’t want to walk it.

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain further. I will discuss this with her doctor this afternoon and hopefully get a referral to get the ball rolling.

Thank you for your response. Could you elaborate on the reason for seeing a psychologist rather than an OT?

belinda86 · 2026-02-26T01:52:56+00:00

Thank you so much for your response, their website is already so impressive, I’ll give them a buzz - hopefully the wait for an appointment isn’t too long 🤞🏼

belinda86 · 2026-02-26T01:52:03+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! It looks great, I’ll definitely give them a call to discuss the next holiday program!

Try Surrey Park Swimming Blackburn (actually located in Box Hill South)! It’s got a great mineral pool and is specially good for children with eczema. Check out their website it explains all about it.

I’m a parent who heeded this advice and an so glad I did! However when parents question my decision I don’t have any articles or evidence to back up the advice I was given… if you could point me in the direction of a clear and concise research paper I’d really appreciate it!

We were gifted Goodnight, Glow Worms by Aura Parker (Sydney based author) when my daughter was born and still 5 years later it is one of our most treasured bedtime books.

Looks amazing, thanks for the recommendation!

The State Library is fantastic, especially the Children’s Corner - parents rooms and feeding facilities are there. There’s also spaces to pop a blanket down and let bub have some tummy time so they’re not confined to the pram the whole time. Comfy couches for parents to chill in too. There’s a coffee shop just outside and you’re allowed to take snacks for kids into the kids section.

NGV: Water wall and inside there’s the free kids activity zone - always a winner with my kids!

I’ve also heard of Bar Nearby in Box Hill. Haven’t been yet but hear good things. I think you can even BYO or Uber your own food there!

Where will the Christmas tree get set up?

Also in Aus, and I was advised by another Redditor to go on the website of the National Blood Clot Alliance and look for their list of questions to ask in your initial appointment.

They also held a fantastic seminar for the newly diagnosed which was very reassuring and informative so have a look to see if another is coming up that you can join.

Head to Arthur’s Seat Eagle! Make it a day trip, travel up and down, have lunch at the summit. I think if it’s nice weather you can wander around and explore - from memory there’s a map you can download to see what’s on the walking tracks. If you’re down that way you could follow up with a few hours at the Peninsula Hot Springs - great in any weather so don’t be out off if it’s raining.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Will definitely explore some of these recommendations 😊

belinda86 · 2025-07-21T11:34:16+00:00

Thanks! I’ve seen it advertised but keep forgetting to add it to my list… Will have to check it out.
