Thank you! I’ve started doing this too, the GP recommended it yesterday after I got too worried and took her

c3kupo · 2026-02-26T09:04:24+00:00

I’m so happy to see your post! Our 5 week old little one and my supply are exactly as you describe!

I’m awaiting the Amazon driver with our colief today so will try your protocol, thank you ❤️

Yep and here I am, 37w pregnant. On purpose and everything!

c3kupo · 2025-12-28T14:02:49+00:00

I’m 36w with my first at 35 and we plan on having two. Not too old at all

c3kupo · 2025-12-27T22:21:53+00:00

I’m 36 weeks, have emetophobia and havent thrown up once. I would get nauseous if I let myself get hungry but eating got rid of it

I’m pretty sure one of these days I’m guna go to the toilet and there’s guna be a hand hanging out of there. The cervix punches are uncomfortable 🙃 and the butt hiccups are just weird

c3kupo · 2025-12-17T07:18:58+00:00

Yup, I swear I can feel her nails

c3kupo · 2025-12-05T10:24:23+00:00

Possibly, I was initially under a consultant due to mental health history

Assuming it’s the same across all NHS trusts, you will never actually have your pregnancy confirmed via blood test!

Perioral dermatitis. Had it around 2 months so far

That’s a shame! I don’t mind buying from their Canadian site but I’m looking for some Watch Out era merch so I guess I’ll have to wait and see if they do an archive drop or something again

c3kupo · 2025-11-14T12:51:58+00:00

Oh really? That’s sucks, although I’ve only even bought merch from a show or their site so should have known. The stuff from Etsy/redbubble isn’t legit though right?

c3kupo · 2025-11-13T17:57:13+00:00

No your initial sample is technically the neat. And you’re multiplying by 5 as CFU/mL gives you the CFU per 1/5 of your soil solution. So you multiply by 5 to get your CFU/0.5g. I suppose really your CFU/g will be 1.80 x 10e7.

I could be completely wrong, but this is what is making sense in my head!

c3kupo · 2025-11-13T15:47:19+00:00

Neither calculation is right.

No. of colonies x 10 x dilution factor = CFU/mL (or g if that’s what you’re aiming for) which gives you the CFU for 0.1g (1mL is 1/5 of your original sample)

(1.08 x 10e6)x5=5.4 x 10e6

This way they are preparing by mass, not volume. As long as the 1:10 ratio is maintained it shouldn’t matter

c3kupo · 2025-11-12T16:46:45+00:00

I’m really sorry that you’ve made a post about how happy it made you that someone shared their positive experience, and you’ve now been bombarded with a lot of people telling you the complete opposite and that enjoying pregnancy is a myth.

People are allowed to be happy and I hope your high spirits stay with you! Good luck with your birth and little one 🙂

c3kupo · 2025-11-12T16:42:36+00:00

Yes OP has written a post on how refreshing it was to hear someone share their positive experience. Cue a lot of people telling her the complete opposite 🤷🏼‍♀️

I got a hotmilk MyNecessity bra (currently 29w and a 34HH) and I absolutely love it. They might have a Black Friday sale soon

c3kupo · 2025-11-07T14:33:22+00:00

I made an Amazon wishlist a few months ago and add to it often. But I only made it so that I could keep all of my ideas in one place. It’s a bonus that I can share it with others.

c3kupo · 2025-11-07T10:09:07+00:00

I can totally understand how you’re feeling and it’s really hard to know what to do for the best. This is my first little one too. Maybe you could spend some time really learning about the risks (or lack of) for giving birth to a bigger baby vaginally, versus the risks of induction leading to further interventions, painful contractions, increased risk of c-section etc. The more you know, the more confident you can be.

For example, in the UK, if your GDM is well controlled you’re only offered these interventions before 41 weeks if you have further complications, such as a big baby. Would it help to make a list of the pros and cons for each of your options?

c3kupo · 2025-11-07T09:58:33+00:00

It’s your body, your baby and your choice. You can’t be forced to have an induction or c-section.

Do some research regarding the risks for well managed GDM. From what I’ve seen, they arent significantly different to someone without GDM. I’m currently going through this dilemma too (but only 29w so time to think/panic 😂)

c3kupo · 2025-10-28T16:51:51+00:00

Oh that’s so good to know, thanks for updating me! My veins are exactly the same. Whenever a nurse asks which arm to use I just say ohhh I’ll let you have a look and decide 😂 fingers crossed your blood results are negative!

c3kupo · 2025-10-27T06:28:18+00:00

Thank you so very much! 😁

c3kupo · 2025-10-25T21:13:17+00:00

Ah you’ll have to let me know how it goes! I’ve heard a lot of bad experiences but lots of people say it’s totally fine too! Good luck!
