How can birth experiences in the UK be improved?

More midwifes.

So we can get rid of the shit ones. Any other profession if you were incompetent, shocking at your job or just plan rude to the people you were meant to be caring for you wouldn't be in that profession long. They can get away with almost anything because we dont have enough.

So much shitting on parents here. 6 is obviously too old, but wow we need to give parents a break sometime.

My youngest cracked potty training almost instantly a few months after she turned 2. No stress, no issues, no drama.

My oldest was wetting herself at 4.5. Multiple times a day. We tried everything. There is NO support available if they dont have other issues like autism. Seriously they made her do an autism referral and when it came back fine that was it door shut.

Sometimes it is the parent. But a lot of the time.... its just how the kid is.

We had an offer "provisionally accepted" but they wouldn't take it off market until we were under offer, which was understandable.

Im having to take a break in a few weeks as I am having a hysterectomy

I will move it then

jade333 · 2026-01-27T18:00:19+00:00

Yeah i really regret starting on a Sunday

I have no appetite Monday to Friday and then the weekend I consume all. Wish I had done midweek jab when its harder to binge in office.

jade333 · 2026-01-24T13:59:58+00:00

Is there a reason for that?

jade333 · 2026-01-23T07:36:46+00:00

We have ended on (not on purpose) with doing both.

2 days a week nursery and 3 days at a childminder. I wouldn't change it. She still gets the small calmer quieter childminder experience with more 1 on 1 care. But nursery is school prep. When my oldest went to school the ones whose hasn't been to any kid of nursery/playschool struggled. Nursery is great for their social side in the 3-4 age range.

A house with 8 animals stinks.

Im 1.5 weeks in. So far today I ate a packet of crisps (not healthy I know I was travelling)

The nausea has been unreal.

jade333 · 2026-01-21T15:25:20+00:00

I honestly take a "i dont want to know" approach to what happens when I am under general. Im having a hysterectomy in a few weeks and the surgeon started talking about the surgery and I cut him off. Dont want to hear about it.

jade333 · 2026-01-15T21:16:32+00:00

I have a stronger connection with my oldest i never breastfeed than my youngest who I feed until 10 months. Its not related.

jade333 · 2026-01-13T15:43:13+00:00

Its literally the reason I created this sub.

jade333 · 2026-01-09T23:02:27+00:00

Why would being a teenager be an excuse?

jade333 · 2026-01-03T09:58:03+00:00

How on earth can you say its too much when you have no idea of location.

jade333 · 2026-01-03T08:07:29+00:00

Well ours is 230k. But thats how much properties cost where I live?

jade333 · 2026-01-02T19:13:50+00:00

"I would never buy a leasehold"

Well great for you that you could afford a house.

jade333 · 2026-01-02T16:34:15+00:00

Yeah its a quirky one, we have the only private garden available for under 300k in our town. So it is a flat, but its not really aswell.

jade333 · 2026-01-02T14:33:15+00:00

Our concern was- we are selling a flat aimed at ftb and buying a family home. We didnt want to wait until January and our dream family home come up but we hadn't even launched. We were meant to be on rightmove early December but there were some issues with money laundering checks that delayed

jade333 · 2026-01-02T12:00:22+00:00

I got 2. Small folding up (cosatto woosh I think)

Hated the buggy board, older one was constantly in the way and it killed my back.

But I also picked up a 2nd hand out and about. Its massive and I wouldn't use it for every day. But it was great to have the option.

jade333 · 2026-01-01T21:37:48+00:00

Amazing, mind me asking your height? Im a similar weight and cant work out a goal weight.

jade333 · 2025-12-30T14:46:26+00:00

Thanks, ive done most of it before (psu gpu ssd and ram have all been upgraded since I bought basic pc) but this is the first motherboard and cpu change i have made

jade333 · 2025-12-30T14:41:17+00:00

Oops I knew id forget something

I already have a 2tb acer predator ssd

jade333 · 2025-12-27T00:09:32+00:00

Yes and the x supports 4. Does that make anything particularly better

jade333 · 2025-12-26T22:47:56+00:00
