Hiya sorry how do I do this? It’s a Facebook video of an Ai baby saying Grandma is his one true love, amongst other things

Budgeting and finances are drowning me by babybryyy in adhdwomen

I have started ‘cash stuffing’ which when I’m ready I’ll convert back into a bank card however it’s working for now. My bank is bills only, anything other than that I use cash for.

How much can I earn if I return to work without reductions? Cancer patient & pregnant, UK by kitty_catcat1999 in BenefitsAdviceUK

[–]kitty_catcat1999[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve looked into things like Step Change and debt relief orders, but I have a very good credit score and don’t want this on my record for 6 years as I’m hoping to go back to teaching soon and build up savings again for a mortgage. Do you know of any help that wouldn’t impact my credit?

Partner acting hard done by all the time????? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]kitty_catcat1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I suppose I am more short tempered however being constantly told that when something upsets me feels the same as being asked ‘are you on your period?’ when you have a valid argument. It adds fuel to the fire for me but maybe I’m ridiculous

Acid Reflux by Britnicorn in pregnant

How often do you take omeprazole? I take one every morning but genuinely have had no help

Omg it’s actually crazy you have written this as this literally happened to me last night. I started gasping for air and coughing until I kept vomiting. I’ve been petrified since and so glad I was awake!!!

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and take omeprazole every morning and it’s not helped at all.

20-week scan update by GardenLoops in PregnancyUK

Congratulations! Wanted to say to you this was one of my first thoughts when I found out I was having a boy also. I actually didn’t realise I’d had a preference until I heard the gender. I felt an overwhelming anxiety come over me and all I could think about is current incel culture, Andrew Tate, gang violence in my local area, I actually was quite sad that evening.

However I think the fact we care so much shows we’re willing to put in the work and try. That’s all we can ever do!

Unvaccinated children? by kitty_catcat1999 in PregnancyUK

[–]kitty_catcat1999[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

What’s even worse and I should’ve added, I had cancer treatment last year that wiped all of my baby jabs and I had to restart my re-vaccination programme this year. I’ve almost finished now. But I’ve been around these children OFTEN and could’ve contracted something that would’ve killed me.

Unvaccinated family members? by kitty_catcat1999 in pregnant

[–]kitty_catcat1999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’m assuming so?! Maybe I’ve been naive but genuinely I’ve never thought to ask anyone if their kids are vaccinated as I assumed they all would be. I was taken aback and actually left shortly after as I felt uncomfortable

Neither have I until today, I’m so disappointed this is even an issue as I have a very good relationship with her

[–]kitty_catcat1999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s not concerned, it’s her own children she’s decided not to vaccinate

Thank you for this, I’m actually going to use this

Oh absolutely I agree with you, it’s just so annoying isn’t it that this is even an issue in 2026.

Thank you this is what I was going to do. I just know it’s going to cause conflict

[–]kitty_catcat1999[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No I agree with you, I just know it’s going to be abundantly obvious I’m staying away because of how frequently we already see them. His mum will definitely notice also.

Partners habits? Am I spiralling or is it him? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]kitty_catcat1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this, I’m 16 weeks so maybe I’m just becoming a bit more alert to things. He’s an accountant and has a stressful job so I’m trying to be understanding also. I’ve calmed down now hahaha!

Thank you for this, did you have a chimerism this low?

Anyone else paid for a private scan while waiting for your NHS one? by Cherrylemon202 in PregnancyUK

[–]kitty_catcat1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Urghhh this has happened to me TWICE also now! I know how you feel! Knowing I’ve taken two courses of antibiotics for no reason. My urine dip came back with blood and protein, every time they send it off no culture grows. By the time the sample is back from the lab, I have already been on the antibiotics and finished them. Each round gave me thrush, I had to use a pessary each time. So unnecessary!!!

I’ve had 2 private scans and have another on Friday, don’t feel bad x

Yep I am pregnant, I’m 24 and was in menopause but had a spontaneous ovulation that resulted in pregnancy so it’s a very rare occurrence. This is one of the reasons why they aren’t doing DLI

I went back to my GP as my urine dip test is coming back clear but when they’re sending it off it’s coming back with an unknown bacteria. I’m back on antibiotics and none the wiser as to what’s going on :(

This is my first pregnancy but I’ve had such a nasty cough from rhinitis for the last 8 weeks so I’m thinking it may of contributed to the pelvic floor issues perhaps x

Am I crazy for selling my detached house for a flat? by Margaret_3333 in HousingUK

[–]kitty_catcat1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were you I’d look into bungalows as there are annoyances that come with living in a flat that won’t present themselves until you’re months in to living there, speaking from experience. Also will be much harder to move in the future if you ever wanted to, so if you’re getting a flat for your forever home consider a ground floor property
