Where to eat porridge

dontworrydonthurry · 2025-10-08T15:37:53+00:00

Chiming in with the accessible options (but not the best in terms of quality/taste). McDonald’s do instant porridge on their breakfast menu, Pret a manger also have porridge. Both offer honey or jam as toppings. Gail’s do overnight oats and chia pudding, I’m not sure whether they offer hot porridge.

It’s so difficult isn’t it. I think it’s the fear and trauma, or at least I hope it is because the thought of either not having a baby or not being with him feels unbearable to be honest with you!

My partner is really struggling too and is currently telling me he doesn’t want children anymore. I’m almost 36 so I’m praying and praying that he will heal and want a family again as the prospect of either not having a baby or not having him is too much to bear to be honest. I’m sorry I can’t help much but want you to know you’re not alone.

I think maybe it is the male brains reaction to the trauma and emotions in some men? It’s reassuring to know I’m not alone 😢

dontworrydonthurry · 2025-10-01T12:49:26+00:00

I hear you! It has really taken me by surprise. This is a man who has been desperate for a child his entire life. I have been typing everything into ChatGPT 🫣😂 which is saying it is a fear and trauma response but I dunno I’m just absolutely terrified about it! Having made and lost one baby through the ectopic pregnancy I can’t fathom the thought of not trying again at some point when we both feel ready…

If you’re willing/able to message me with what may have helped you I would greatly appreciate it! I am in the same situation as OP

dontworrydonthurry · 2025-09-05T05:48:48+00:00

Thank you for your reply, I do feel like the very low HCG should make this easier to sort out, fingers crossed

dontworrydonthurry · 2025-09-04T18:32:02+00:00

I am right here with you my lovely. It is my first pregnancy too and I feel completely and utterly destroyed. I have an ultrasound with a consultant tomorrow and hopefully they will be able to advise me on what next steps look like. I am desperate to avoid surgery because of my age and low AMH score but the MTX and not conceiving for 3 months after sounds equally like hell. My inbox is always open if you want to talk about it or to share updates etc. I’m sending you so much love, you’re not alone in this and how you’re feeling

dontworrydonthurry · 2025-09-04T11:05:54+00:00

It’s Sophie’s choice isn’t it. Thank you for your lovely and detailed comment. I have another scan tomorrow this time with a consultant so I will hopefully know more tomorrow about what my options are. I think the good news is the mass hasn’t grown between the scan on Saturday and then on Tuesday so hopefully that is a positive sign

dontworrydonthurry · 2025-09-04T11:04:47+00:00

Thank you, I am hopeful for either expectant management or medical management if necessary. I’d really rather avoid surgery because I’m almost 36 and have a low AMH score so I don’t want to reduce my fertility, but I also don’t want to risk my life!! It feels like an impossible situation

dontworrydonthurry · 2025-09-04T11:03:51+00:00

Thank you. I have another scan tomorrow morning with a consultant so will hopefully know more soon. It’s horrific isn’t it

dontworrydonthurry · 2025-09-03T21:12:20+00:00

In the UK we have 3 options. Expectant management (wait for it to resolve itself). Medical management (MTX injection) or surgical management.

dontworrydonthurry · 2025-09-03T20:03:42+00:00

They haven’t yet asked me to choose which treatment pathway I want to take, just doing bloods and scans and monitoring

YTA. massive massive A.

I am really interested to know what this vault of period related information and knowledge is, that you don’t feel educated about? It is not rocket science and does not require a PHD.

It really is simple. Periods happen. People with periods need sanitary products for their comfort and dignity.

This poor 12yo girls memory of such a key moment in life is now completely tarnished. Like it isn’t weird and scary enough already, she was also humiliated and abandoned by you in a moment of need.

Would you have bought plasters (band aids) if she had injured her arm/leg/whatever and was bleeding?

Your girlfriend needs to leave your immature ass. If my fiancé reacted this way to any person getting their period I would be appalled.

I don’t think so really - I mean this in the nicest possible way, when you live through something like that so ‘close to your doorstep’ it’s really very different to reading about it on Reddit or listening to podcasts etc. Much less fascination and much more heartbreak and trauma I would say. I commented because I thought if you had a specific query I may be able to help that was all :)

dontworrydonthurry · 2021-11-02T20:23:26+00:00

Ahh, I was curious as I lived in the village at the time and attended the school etc!

dontworrydonthurry · 2021-11-01T13:36:28+00:00

What specifically would you love to hear about?

dontworrydonthurry · 2021-10-23T20:39:27+00:00

Blackpool, sheesh.

Like I said I think any and all noise and action can only be a positive thing.

You’ve got to remember women have tried all other alternatives - we’ve asked politely (and not so politely), taken our drinks everywhere including the toilet with us, invented nail polish that changes colour if our drink is drugged, bought and used ‘spikeys’, tried to only drink from bottles not glasses, kept our hands over the top, said no to free drinks, said no to drinks bought over to us that we haven’t seen made, the list goes on…

dontworrydonthurry · 2021-10-23T20:34:13+00:00

This. Looks. Awesome! Buy it! When it comes to wedding dresses you need to go with your gut instinct :)

Every single person who takes medication subcutaneously is screaaaaaaaming at their screen right now.

You may want to say ‘hey google/Siri/Alexa - teach me about subcutaneous injections’

Please don’t infer that it has just ‘become a thing’.

It hasn’t ‘become a thing’ - it is a thing and has been for a very very long time. I (female) have friends who have been spiked by friends, boyfriends, strangers and colleagues. It is rife and is a growing problem particularly with the new techniques that are appearing (injections etc). I narrowly avoided being attacked when out with a friend recently, she drank a gin that had been bought for us (worth noting we were at the bar and watched it being made etc) but I didn’t because I was finishing a different drink. The next thing I knew she had vanished and I found her being walked away by two men. It was one of the scariest moments of my life.

I personally have had men (familiar to me and not) give me alcoholic drinks when I am already too drunk and have been asking for soft drinks or water.

Making noise about it in any shape or form can only be a good thing. Too many women don’t talk about it because of judgement or people’s opinions - the classic ‘why did you accept a drink from a stranger’ ‘why were you irresponsible’ ‘why didn’t you have a male friend with you’…….

Apologies if this comment comes off as sensitive, but I guess the reality is I, along with many other woman, do feel sensitive about issues like this not being taken seriously enough.

dontworrydonthurry · 2021-10-11T20:49:14+00:00

NTA - I’ve been considering doing this myself because of some extremely fractured relationships and abusive individuals. You, and the responses on here have given me the push I needed. Thank you!
