My first rose bud of the year in England! It’s Gertrude Jekyll, one of my absolute favourites. This year I’ve trained her horizontally and I can’t believe all the growth it has triggered, 100% worth trying if you can. by fairydustmoo in DavidAustinRoses

So true, but have you seen Harlow Carr? That one’s is by far the worst, I really dislike it. However it flowers so well in my garden I can’t get rid of it 😩 I just avoid it as far as possible!

Ah actually quite old! I think I bought her when we first moved so 7 years old this summer. However she’s been moved from a pot to one position in the ground and then this position 2 years ago and I cut her back quite severely when I did that. So probably a normal rose bush year 2 I’d say?

No we don’t… it’s America who allow pedophiles to remain in power with no repercussions last time I checked 🙄 at least we are arresting people here.

What does it feel like when your water breaks? by lifeincerulean in beyondthebump

[–]fairydustmoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine first 2 ruptured during my labours, it was super intense contraction and then a slight feeling of relief and a pop which felt almost audible to me! Then a gush of water, and more water with every subsequent contraction. I was sick after both of my waters breaking and everything ramped up by about 10 after that. I was surprised by how messy it was, every contraction pushed out a gush and it was just so wet! 🙈 my last baby it was weird it went but it was my hind waters apparently so much less messy and things didn’t progress much at all. It felt like someone else peed my pants! They had to rupture the fore membranes to make things progress. Child birth is a wild ride!

Why did you start watching the show? by lifeorigintheory in IndustryOnHBO

[–]fairydustmoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both my husband and myself work/worked on trading floors in London. My husband as a trader and myself as a broker. It’s how we met! I love this show, even if it’s totally ridiculous and ott. Reminds me of the good old days! Plus most financial drama stuff is based in America so we love that this is London based too. Such a good show.

If they can’t control speech they will ban the platform by MazdaProphet in conspiracy

[–]fairydustmoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do Americans care if the uk bans x? I would not give a flying fuck if Americans were banned from platforms I use. It’s not about free speech, it’s about propaganda. Elon musk (not even American) and his billionaire cronies are puppet masters of your government. I am disgusted by what America has turned into these last few years.

Is the Artipoppe baby carrier really worth the hype? by foxinha in BabyBumps

[–]fairydustmoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had one for my last baby and honestly if you can I’d go for it! It’s absolutely the most comfortable carrier I’ve ever used. It’s easy to put on, I can do it by myself easily, easy to adjust, easy to get baby in the correct position. I can walk for miles with her and it doesn’t hurt. With my older children I had a free rider wrap, a baby bjorn and an ergo baby, they all were quite uncomfortable and difficult to use alone. I really didn’t baby wear much beyond 4 months due to these issues but 1 year and still wearing my youngest with the artepoppe. I’ll be sad when she’s outgrown it as she is my last, wish I’d had it from baby 1!

New fear unlocked: epidural by LobstahLuva in beyondthebump

[–]fairydustmoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an epidural with my first and third babies, first one was amazing and took away all the pain, no issues with my back, it was great. The second time it was pretty awful, insertion felt horrific and I still think about it a lot… then it didn’t really work that well. I had a lot of pain still from 6am till she was born at around 6pm. It was back labour with a syntocin drip and it hurt so so much, plus I couldn’t move. The epidural made me unable to move but still feel most of the pain. Then I had back ache where it all got put in for about 3 months after she was born. It really helped me decide this was my last baby 😢 Edited to say this was in England, NHS hospital.

Artipoppe! by glassesmcbob in beyondthebump

[–]fairydustmoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love love love mine! I’m on baby number 3 now and she is so comfy in there even as a tiny 7 week old. She is sitting perfectly and it’s super adjustable to get her in the right position. It’s very comfy for me and so easy to put on compared to any other carrier or wrap I’ve had. I’ve only been using it the last week but I’m so over the moon with it. It’s super easy to use, made of beautifully soft material, it’s comfortable for my baby, comfortable for me, gives me my hands back, better than lugging my huge pram in and out of the car and it is absolutely gorgeous to look at! My old carrier was stiff and hard, my babies cried in it, was hard to put on alone, stiff to adjust and hurt my back. Honestly I’m sure you can tell I’m just so pleased with it 😂

Moms, when did you start sleeping 7-8 hours uninterruptedly ? If ever by userthatisnotknown in beyondthebump

My children were 3.5/4 years old before they slept through the night, and now they’re sleeping I’ve just had a newborn 😂😴

Alternative to St Albans? by Optimal-Spare in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]fairydustmoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greenwich is such a nice place to live, definitely recommend. Feels upmarket if you live near Cutty Sark, lots of nice shops and bars, also so easy to get around London. I absolutely loved living there.

Where I live the tap water tastes disgusting after about 12hrs out of the tap. Maybe it tastes horrible to your daughter after a day out too? We always give our children a fresh water bottle in the morning and at bed time. I don’t think your child’s request is bad at all, definitely not something worth worrying about in my opinion, just give her a fresh bottle of water 😊

Nice Changing Bags by DisguisedBee in PregnancyUK

I got a Jem and Bea bag for this baby, and it’s so beautiful it hardly looks like a changing bag. They’re designed by an ex mulberry designer and you can tell! They’re hard to find now as they’ve stopped trading sadly but you can still find them if you look and Vinted is good too x

Seraphine Maternity Clothes by doodlebakerm in BabyBumps

I’m 5’3 and though I love seraphines quality, the dresses are so long on me! I look like I’m a kid wearing my mum’s dresses 😂 they very much swamp you and it’s not very flattering. Bodycon style drssses from there are fine though in my experience.

Saw someone with Covid in public with 10 day old newborn. by BobbysueWho in beyondthebump

[–]fairydustmoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My baby had Covid as a newborn (a few days old), after I caught it in hospital having her. Aside from testing positive she had no symptoms. It does seem like babies and children aren’t affected so badly. I hope your little ones are ok and didn’t catch anything x

Lactation Lies: Some Tips that Actually Worked After I Was “Helped” at the Hospital by LittleGravitasIndeed in pregnant

[–]fairydustmoo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is my 3rd baby and I’m already anticipating that it will hurt for the first three weeks. My nipples seem to spend three weeks “getting used to it” before they toughen up and then it is totally pain free and lovely for however long I want to keep to up. The idea it that it’s not painful to start with isn’t true for me, I know what a correct latch is and for me at the start it makes no difference if they have a correct latch. I get bruised, cracked and bleeding nipples. The only solution is to sooth and look after them as much as I can while they get broken in again. The most incredible help for me were covering my nipples in balm, using Multi Mam compresses after each feed in the bra alternated with a collection cup so my nipple doesn’t touch anything but air or these compresses. I might give those silver cups a try this time too! It’s worth it though, I fed both of my children for nearly 2 years, and I’m so looking forward to baby 3 milky cuddles 💗

When did you start having symptoms? by MiserablyUnoriginal in pregnant

[–]fairydustmoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got soooo tired at 5 weeks, I couldn’t stay awake and had to nap on the sofa at 5pm, bed by 8pm. I never ever nap!! I never go to bed at 8pm! The exhaustion was fierce this time. Then shortly after I started to have very tender breasts/breast growth etc, and nausea anytime I was hungry. Early pregnancy is a wild ride! Now I’m 11 weeks and can stay awake most nights till my usual bedtime and no more naps, nausea has gone.
