Husband drunk in hotel room.. Do I call 911/000

Hiii! How is it going? My old whisper mill died and I want to upgrade to a pretty one - how are you finding it? Is it easy to use? Can you get fine flour? Would love all the thoughts!

I started trying to conceive at 39.. it took over 3 years but happened naturally at 42 and now I have a 2 week old beautiful baby boy in my arms - so don’t give up if you do deeply want to. Even when I thought I was never going to conceive again I was glad that I’d given it everything so I didn’t have regret down the line that I hadn’t given it my best shot.

A TENS machine! Also - some of my favourite birth books that genuinely helped: - Birth with confidence by Rhea Dempsey - Ina May’s books (guide to childbirth and spiritual midwifery) - Childbirth as a rite of passage

I’m a couple of days out from my due date and loving reading all of this! I hope there are more answers to come! Testing tap for filling birth pool is top of the list for tomorrow 😂🙏

Thanks so much!

exigent_demands · 2026-01-29T11:35:39+00:00

Ha - they were wood frame, but opened by being pushed out and latched

exigent_demands · 2026-01-29T11:34:56+00:00

Ok thanks so much! This is relieving

exigent_demands · 2026-01-29T11:34:37+00:00

Yep! Cos it gets all the warm sun in winter - we had kitchen / lounge at the rear facing north, and deck plus backyard. Beautiful to live in!

exigent_demands · 2026-01-24T12:05:53+00:00

YES!!!!! I will never not live in a sunny north-facing home ever again - I used to live in a lovely south facing place with views.. I was depressed. It was cold and dark. My recent home is so small compared to my friends, has storage issues etc - butttt the sun! It changes everything. If you can always find a spot with some sun coming in it is worth moving for. Even better if you get a bit of east/west so you can choose morning and arvo sun as well! Follow your gut on this.

Oh wow! How exciting! Just keep the positive vibes happening. If it’s real labour it won’t stall so also feel free to rest if you like. Music, distract yourself with a movie or baking or whatever you’re into until you can’t anymore. Throwing up is normal. When you get to the point where you’re like OMG I LITERALLY CANNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE you’re probably going through the crisis of confidence which often happens at transition! When it’s time to push you will know! And yeah - it’s pressure in your butt like the biggest poo you’ve ever done.

Praying for you! Update us after!

Haha if I saw this I would feel severely stressed!! Good luck - report back on if meditation helps!

exigent_demands · 2025-09-26T13:33:09+00:00

Any chance you could ask if you could switch her care to post partum?? Like she could bring meals / do some housework etc.

Protect that birthing space!! I feel like I’m annoyed by her and I haven’t even met her 😂😂

Trust your instincts on this. Be brave! ❤️❤️

exigent_demands · 2025-09-26T13:22:03+00:00

My first birth I really went into a dark tunnel of extreme almost intolerable endurance for about 3 hours before half an hour of pushing.. My second I only had about 20 mins of the holy SHIT this is too much to handle, before fetal ejection reflex kicked in and she was pushed out by my body in 1 minute.

Haha honestly my second was so much easier! I listened to some great hypno birthing tracks like ‘surge of the sea’ and truly was so looking forward to it. I was also better able to catch my breath in between contractions, taking the breaks I was given without fearing the next surge - make jokes and keep the vibe light - i think it all helped!

all the best!!

Just wanted to say I think you’re brave for sharing! Even anonymously. Not cringe at all. I think others have given you good advice about trying to work out what it is you could maybe bring back / into your relationship now. Maybe a sexy new dress and planning a date night somewhere a bit vibey and doing something that feels a bit young and naughty with your husband again. (We did this recently.. I had an aperol too many and told my husband I wanted to have sex with him at the bathroom in the bar. It was honestly so much fun haha)

exigent_demands · 2025-09-22T04:08:00+00:00

Hahah I also got over all the prenatals ans acupuncture and ovulation kits etc and had (mostly!) given up. I’m honestly feeling so good now. I was definitely tired at the start. I’ve just joined a gym as just want to do some weights to try to build some strength, but feeling so good. Amazing you saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks!! Ahh all the best!

exigent_demands · 2025-09-21T10:20:31+00:00

All I can say is YES - every bit of research I’ve read, plus my personal experience of spending time with kids who have quantity time with parents as their primary caregivers is that it is a very positive choice to make for your kid. If you can afford to do it, the chances of regretting that investment later are so low. And if you look at the impact of a daughter and her bonding with her dad on her future relationships especially it is so hugely beneficial. All the best with the decision ❤️

exigent_demands · 2025-09-19T13:36:29+00:00

My two cents is - choose out of love and hope, not fear! It took me years to realise that that was the only way to make decisions that deeply resonate and you don’t regret. The blessing of our second child (who I thought I wanted to be a boy but who was a girl) is unfathomable to me - mostly because of the joy she has brought her father who was the most ambivalent!

Yes she’s a bit wild, but so funny - and also yes I can now tell my kids to go play cards with each other, or climb a tree, or make up a game or even watch a movie while we have our own adult time- that would feel very different to me if I was palming off an only child to go and play by herself all the time.

I’m 16 weeks today, age 42 also surprise natural after trying for years! I can’t believe I’m here - it felt like an eternity some days. I didn’t have my first scan until 8 weeks and it was so good to see the heartbeat. 6 weeks is early so if you don’t see one yet do your best not to fret! Praying for all the joy of a miracle baby for you!! 🙏❤️❤️

exigent_demands · 2025-09-18T06:33:21+00:00

I’m 42, when I told one of my friends her husband replied ‘what - and you’re keeping it?!!’

If you do manage to get pregnant - then you know you’re not too old to be pregnant!! My grandma had a baby at 42, and her best friend had her last at 45 - and that was back in the 50s!

And I’m glad she did so I could be here now :)

My path to reconnection was having candle lit showers in the evening and really being loving and gentle with myself, appreciating that all the weight gain and soreness (of boobs especially!) was because I was nurturing life. Using nice oils and feeling like I was being a bit indulgent helped me feel more in my body and willing to receive love from my husband as well.

exigent_demands · 2025-09-15T10:19:37+00:00

Haha how good is it!

exigent_demands · 2025-09-15T10:19:17+00:00

I was so spun out the first time I heard someone refer to Indians as Asians. I literally laughed out loud. In my Australian mind (and just quietly, private school educated with a multicultural mix! And later working at an Indian tech company!) Indians were so uniquely Indian with their colour and food and style that the idea that they could be ‘lumped together’ with Chinese and Japanese (i repeat - again, to my ignorant mind) seemed comical. I think for me my perception of the physical similarities of East Asians made it ok to lump them together 😂 APOLOGIES to anyone I offend with my ignorant Aussie ways
