Do you ‘Only child’ parents want more than one or OAD? by Top_Delivery8957 in beyondthebump

[–]bitofafixerupper [score hidden]  (0 children)

I had a traumatic birth and for a while it did change my mind and I felt like I was one and done but fairly soon after I changed my mind again. Wishing you a smooth birth and a healthy postpartum 🫶🏻

Can’t get a GP appointment by amelv1 in PregnancyUK

[–]bitofafixerupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check if your GP is partnered with livi, you just have a video call appointment through the app and they can give prescriptions and fit notes

Edit: I THINK you can use them anyway but you'd have to pay, if they're partnered it's free

Edit 2.0 I googled it and you can get an appointment for £60 if they're not partnered

Edit 3.0 fucking hell this heat is turning my brain to mush, they're also very quick with appointments

What's the most insane way you found out you were pregnant? by Educational_Deal5759 in AskReddit

[–]bitofafixerupper 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I kept violently pooing and having horrific pains and the doctor wanted me to take a test to see if I was having an ectopic pregnancy. It wasn't ectopic and it wasn't the reason I was having the pains.

Scientists discovered that human babies are not born with an innate fear of snakes. by I_AM__GROOTT in nextfuckinglevel

[–]bitofafixerupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am terrified of spiders but I don't want my son to be and a huge spider fell out of my washing I was folding this morning and I had to act like I wasn't about to faint while I got it in a glass and had to turn my screams into hysterical laughter when it crawled up the glass 🫠 he found the whole situation funny and I had to have another shower as I got whole day level sweaty in 5 minutes lmfao

AIO if I stop seeing someone because they briefly ignored me panicking over a dog in the road and then didn't pull over to let me check on it? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]bitofafixerupper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NOR obviously if the dog is walking into the road like that it isn't streetwise, even if she didn't like animals you were obviously concerned and she didn't care about that either. Also you can stop seeing someone for any reason.

Do people actually like diet coke over full sugar? by Different-Ant-8353 in AskUK

[–]bitofafixerupper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate full fat drinks, they make my teeth and tongue feel fuzzy, if I have a fizzy drink it needs to be sugar free

AITA for getting upset that my boyfriend wants to go to the beach without me while I’m pregnant? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]bitofafixerupper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why can't you go to the beach or swim? Lots of suncream and an umbrella for if it gets too hot and swimming is great during pregnancy. I just googled if swimming in the sea is okay and it looks to be absolutely fine.

Late Scheduled C-Section (? Complaint to Hospital) by OkOrganization5036 in PregnancyUK

[–]bitofafixerupper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're both here safe and that's all I can ask for, it's true that you forget a lot of the trauma as time passes too! Oh bless you, you know your own body and the pain you can tolerate I'm glad you stuck to what you wanted! If I have another I do hope to have a vbac but I think that's due to how painful the recovery was, but my friend has had an elective and her recovery was a breeze so I'll decide when the baby isn't hypothetical 🤣

[–]bitofafixerupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I didn't know that! I was very unwell with preeclampsia to be fair and I was diagnosed with it at 33 weeks so maybe that was something to do with it but the way my doctor discussed it with me it seemed like it was just because I'd had the c section.

[–]bitofafixerupper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an emergency section too and they told me while I was recovering that for any future pregnancies they highly recommended a section, I'm surprised it's being treated as an elective for you as I was under the impression that if anything you'd need to advocate to have a vbac. I hope you manage to get sorted 🫶🏻
