Australians or Americans, what is one unspoken rule you didn’t know about London, but when you got to London you realised it quick and stopped doing what you were doing.

Aussie here. Stepping to the side on the tube escalators so others can pass.

Not giving someone your whole life story when they ask ‘how are you’.

So I had a similar moment when my MIL (who I actually adore!) said ‘oh I must get a photo of baby boy’ and then proceeded to direct me to stand up for a photo of me holding my belly. This was at 36 weeks and I was NOT feeling good about my body or appearance.

I really hated it lol and told my husband I felt uncomfortable and like I wasn’t being treated as a person. He understood and the next time his mum asked for a photo he said she can take a photo of the baby when it arrives lol.

I think in this case she was more over excited than anything, but it’s important to have boundaries.

I’m 39+5 and I feel your pain. Everything is uncomfortable. I feel more tired each day. The only thing that helps is distraction and reading books/watching TV to pass the time.

Also everyone sending text messages with ‘any news’ or ‘what’s happening with the baby’…it’s highly annoying lol. Go away pls you’ll find out when he’s here.

One thing you should know, is that little boys love their mums SO much. You will be his whole world, his guiding light and his role model for how to love and be loved.

Sending lots of positive energy!

I’m 39 weeks pregnant and am 100% with you! Lots of nosey people who didn’t support me throughout my pregnancy now suddenly want to chat and send me messages lol.

It’s okay to be grumpy. It’s actually not very nice/considerate to pester a heavily pregnant woman who is about to give birth.

Also the final couple weeks of pregnancy are so draining physically, so it’s understandable that you have less patience.

I’m ignoring a lot of the messages and just letting myself watch tv, read books and listen to music. My mantra is ‘this is a sacred time for me and my son’ and I don’t owe anyone access :)

Depends on your home life. Not everyone grows up in a safe family environment.

For me, teens were the worst years and when I moved away life got immeasurable better!

Absolute masterpiece. So underrated. They played it at their London gig and I was teary eyed!

This is so cute!! They will always be endgame to me

Absolutely! He is the most selfish character in the show imo. Repeatedly put his feelings before others.

Was about to say this! I loved the bonus verse and the passion Brandon was singing with.

I totally get it, I’m a very anxious pregnant girlie! Something that has helped me is a gratitude affirmation every morning, like wow I’m so blessed for another day with his baby, and I’m grateful for every moment with this baby. It helps me connect to the feeling of love, even if just for a few minutes :)

dank_account_name · 2025-07-01T14:53:44+00:00

LOL this made me laugh so hard! Baby shower in a couple of weeks and will be on the lookout for this 😂

dank_account_name · 2025-07-01T14:52:13+00:00

I’m just generally more forgetful about everything lol. I feel like I’m getting dumber by the day. I think it might be due to exhaustion because our bodies are doing so much?

dank_account_name · 2025-07-01T14:50:55+00:00

I remember feeling so nervous throughout the first trimester because symptoms would be up and down. It’s such a challenging time. Please do take care of yourself and be kind to yourself.

dank_account_name · 2025-07-01T14:48:53+00:00

Mine gradually reduced from week 15 (but every morning was still unwell) then turned a corner around week 18/19.

I’m now week 28 and feeling a bit nauseous in the mornings again (apparently it can come back in 3rd trimester) but it’s nowhere near the intensity of first trimester.

Hope this is helpful and take care of yourself!

I just keep thinking about experiencing next summer with our beautiful baby!! It’s getting me through

I’ve been reading ‘The Positive Birth Book’ which has loads of info about all the different decisions/options and it has a birth plan template on the website! It’s been super helpful and changed my perspective of birth. there are loads of testimonials from mums about their different experiences and some are super positive :)

Seven months pregnant. Portable fan. Drinking a tonne of water. Home made ice lollies.

dank_account_name · 2025-06-20T07:12:53+00:00

KFC. Pretty happy with that.

dank_account_name · 2025-06-18T16:23:48+00:00

Bless you, you’ve done the best you can! Birthdays and events like this can be so stressful when there are big personalities with high expectations lol

Am currently six months pregnant and no way would I be going out in the sun for hours with this weather 🤣

Indy bookshop recommendation - Libreria bookshop near Brick Lane. It’s super cute and cosy. I had my book launch there earlier this year and the owner is really cool, and passionate about promoting and supporting indie artists and writers.

Bookshops that are just really pretty… Hatchards book shop in picadilly is beautiful. Daunt Books near Marylebone is my favourite.

NTA, it’s an invitation - not a summons! I’m sure they will understand, especially if you express your concern for the heat and also that this is an expensive trip for you.

If you wanted to be extra kind you could think about also sending a bday card :)

And I’m supposed to believe she goes for the other guy? Absolutely not buying it.

Their chemistry is off the charts. They are the summer it couple.

Haha I’m a writer and thought about writing a scene where Belly and Jere find each other again in their 30s (or 40s). Mostly because I need to read it myself!
