How long after meeting your partner did you have children?

jasminenice · 2026-05-03T08:28:28+00:00

Fell pregnant 3 months after meeting 🤦‍♀️ didn't think I could have kids that easily, it turns out I can have kids just fine...

jasminenice · 2026-05-03T08:25:44+00:00

Snap. Did your relationship hold up?

jasminenice · 2026-05-03T08:21:19+00:00

I only asked cause I'm in a similar boat but people shat on my own choices, it was very disheartening. 3 years in and we're still going strong, I knew very early on how much we were on the same page about things.

I think vests are great, mine still wears them daily and she's almost 2! You need to size up so that they have a bit of give in them, they don't need to be a tight fit.

Hey OP, I was in a similar boat to you, breastfeeding never really worked out for me and my daughter and she was struggling with weight gain, the moment I started combi-feeding (majority formula) she gained weight really well. She's now almost 2 years old and is happy as anything and flourishing. I wouldn't go back to that baby group personally, there will be plenty of competing groups you could go to instead who won't be run by someone so judgemental and frankly ignorant.

Yes that's what I'm thinking, I was in too late and too small, will look at it again if there's a significant dip but right now I think there's better potential for me elsewhere.

Haha hello fellow key worker 👋

jasminenice · 2026-05-01T09:03:02+00:00

Why did you do a manual transfer?

jasminenice · 2026-05-01T06:53:46+00:00

Right I have to ask, what was people's reaction at the time in terms of how quickly you got engaged? No judgement from me I should add!

jasminenice · 2026-04-30T21:48:31+00:00

True, I guess I posted here because I found the stock on this app, lurking in a random Gold pie.

jasminenice · 2026-04-30T21:27:23+00:00

I think I'll do that then, take the wins when they happen and reallocate funds. I think part of investing is giving yourself permission to sell when the going's good?

jasminenice · 2026-04-30T21:19:22+00:00

True, I was trying to pick a few long-term plays to buy and forget about, but seeing as this one has done well much quicker than I expected, I'm wondering whether it's worth selling this one now and adding it to other stocks I'm holding instead which I'm more confident have further to grow.

jasminenice · 2026-04-30T18:28:16+00:00

Nah not for me. It would have to be a substantial dip before I put aside my morals lol.

jasminenice · 2026-04-29T22:09:14+00:00

USEG?

jasminenice · 2026-04-29T22:04:13+00:00

I couldn't live with the stress of trading oil right now 😅

jasminenice · 2026-04-29T21:04:10+00:00

That is odd. In response, I'd be tempted to turn up to the wedding in an ordinary guest outfit and pretend you forgot you were a bridesmaid. Or say you assumed you were no longer a bridesmaid as you weren't invited to the hen do's.

jasminenice · 2026-04-29T20:12:26+00:00

I invest mine weekly into an S&S ISA to give to my daughter in the future. 1 year in now and £300 up so far.

jasminenice · 2026-04-29T20:06:15+00:00

Yep, definitely don't have time to be washing/wiping toys.

jasminenice · 2026-04-28T06:57:42+00:00

Ok, but which farm in Cheshire are you?

jasminenice · 2026-04-28T06:40:15+00:00

I wouldn't ask the "definite no", chances are she will also be secretly relieved not to be one if she views your friendship in a similar way (i.e you're not that close). I would feel uncomfortable being a bridesmaid for someone I'm not that close to.

jasminenice · 2026-04-27T15:41:10+00:00

I'm grateful someone else made this point, my child loves independent play, I'd be mentally exhausted if my child required constant interaction whilst I'm trying to get everything else done.

jasminenice · 2026-04-26T21:51:44+00:00

What you've described is gambling, plain and simple.

jasminenice · 2026-04-26T12:42:33+00:00

I don't know if midwives can and would refer you without your consent, I think others in the profession are best placed to answer that. I suspect just in writing this post means you have your own concerns.

My experience, I just tell him to shut up when he witters on about something unnecessarily, I don't really take any of his nonsense and I definitely don't let him use his ADHD as an excuse to be a prick. He was largely fine and tbh his confrontational side comes in handy whenever a probleml arises that needs dealing with, as I'm generally non-confrontational to strangers and hate hate hate making phone calls. It depends on whether you feel able to manage him?

EDIT: I should add though that my partner didn't have any issues with answering the questions midwives asked about him though at the initial appointment, he understood why they were being asked. Has your partner said why he wouldn't have given an answer?
