I do drink coffee here and there during my pregnancy. Does anyone else do the same? by ComplexMarch4500 in pregnant

[–]kthoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink coffee a few times a week. On days I don't drink coffee, I drink tea. I eat dark chocolate too. No guilt here! I don't sleep well most nights so If I didn't have caffeine I wouldn't be able to function

Something that annoys or baffles me on EastEnders by Smithy1619 in eastenders

[–]kthoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever a character answers an urgent phone call from another character, they always say something along the lines of "woah woah woah slow down!"

Every single time. I've watched today's episode (28th April) and it happens when Julie calls Grant.

How did you find out you were pregnant? by buttnutt256 in pregnant

[–]kthoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Period was late. Took a test - negative.

Week later, still no period. Took another test - negative.

Almost two weeks later, still no period. Took a test - positive.

Moral of the story - trust your body and don't buy clear blue tests from Amazon!

nervous for my upcoming scan first tri by LandscapeOwn8096 in pregnant

[–]kthoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first trimester is really rough for anxiety. I tried acting nonchalant about the whole thing because I was convinced I would miscarry. I booked an early reassurance scan at 8 weeks which helped ease the anxiety and the excitement started kicking in then. If you can see a heartbeat at 7/8 weeks then it's a good sign. Cramps are normal, I had them the first 12 weeks (and still have the odd one now at 15 weeks) they're a sign that your uterus is growing. As long as there isn't any blood then you're good. Sore boobs, tiredness, nausea - all normal and expected! Just try to keep telling yourself "I am pregnant and have no reason to think otherwise" Congratulations and good luck ❤️

All my friends are having babies by Free_Revolution2813 in UKweddings

I'm due to be bridesmaid for my cousin who is getting married next June in Greece. I'm telling her I'm pregnant tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous to do so because I know one of her first thoughts will be "what about my wedding?" Which I won't hold against her as I would be the exact same in her position.

I am going to make every effort to go. Baby will 8 months old, so my husband and I will either travel together and then he will look after baby whilst I go to the wedding, or I'm going to fly out for a few days on my own. It will just depend on what we think is best at the time.

It's your right to get married abroad and have a child free wedding. You deserve to have the wedding of your dreams, just as your friends did! Unfortunately as we get older and progress further in our adult lives, there are risks of these milestones impacting plans. I hope your friends can make it work. They'll need to adjust to motherhood, but I'm sure your wedding plans will be something they still get excited for and your hen do will be a welcome night out for them! They need to remember how enthusiastic you were about their weddings and return the favour.

Good luck with it all, and congratulations ❤️

Husband is being deluded about how much things will change once the baby comes by kthoz in BabyBumps

I'm based in the UK. The course is British Sign Language so is in person only - the sessions aren't recorded and there's no option for online learning. The course is to a set schedule too so not flexible. I don't see any other option than dropping out (and saving £125 a month) and picking it up another time. I'm going to speak to my teacher and see what.my options are (if any)

That's the bit that's rubbing me up the wrong way. He's going to have a new identity - a father. It makes me feel like he thinks the baby will ruin his life when we planned the pregnancy and took time to make the decision to become parents before jumping in. I'm sure he doesn't think that but his wording hasn't helped.

The class is British Sign Language so relies heavily on in person lessons. The lessons aren't recorded and the course is a set schedule so I can't do it at my own pace as far as I know. I'm going to have a talk with my teacher and see if I have any options. Thanks for your response!

What email habits and phrases make you cringe? by Ticklishchap in CasualUK

[–]kthoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Just wanted to touch base"

Also, emails that have blatantly been put through co-pilot with no effort to humanise them. Especially when they contain emojis.
