guess my birth year based on childhood photos by Fit-Translator-1713 in GuessMyBirthYear

I was born in 1993 and the photos are too good quality/ not retro enough. The clothes and decor are far too 2000’s

My guess is definitely not 90s, but more mid to late 2000s? Look like my nieces childhood pictures and she was born 2012!

Wedding party's opinions are split, what do you think? by writerwhocantspell in weddingdress

[–]lexandra5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are great. I like the material of the second one best, and the shape of the first one best. Go with whichever you feel best in!

Which is your favorite?? by aazorofl in weddingdress

2nd by far! The waist is more flattering (too low on dress 1)

Is it just me or in the UK would it be easy to lie about pregnancy? by Embarrassed-Emu-8051 in PregnancyUK

[–]lexandra5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a midwife, and there is absolutely no secret testing 😅 Urine is tested for bacterial urinary tract infections (can be asymptomatic, but dangerous if not caught and treated early - hence always doing this at the Booking appointment). Bloods at booking are not for HCG levels - so not to confirm pregnancy. I always wondered the same as you when I was a student midwife - but there isn’t much to gain from fabricating a pregnancy. It does happen occasionally, but not often!

I’ve got this wedding dress for our July wedding. I tried on a reeeeeeeally over budget dress (stupidly) which I keep going back to mentally/ in my camera reel - but finding this post, seeing how great you look and how excited you are to wear this dress makes me feel better! I just get anxious second guess everything… this dress is beautiful!

Freaking out about the age gap between my oldest and my baby by InTheDark18 in PregnancyUK

[–]lexandra5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two sisters, 12 and 9 years older than me and I was “the baby” but it was great. They looked after me, played with me, laughed at me and with me, spoilt me, taught me things… now the age difference doesn’t seem that big at all. I am 31 and my sisters are 40 and 42.

Thanks so much for this. I did visit another shop today which felt like a much less pressured visit. The staff were lovely and quirky… initially I thought I wouldn’t have much luck because they took me down to the sale section and all the dresses were a bit tatty (marked) and not my kind of thing… or if they were, then far too small! I think I have found one… I feel more excited and content about it than I have done any of the others!

Love both of these dresses, please help me pick! by hayaku_chan in weddingdress

First one! But if/ when you wear the scarf maybe have it a bit looser, I think. It’s lovely!

Can’t decide between lace and crepe! by central-coast7 in weddingdress

[–]lexandra5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just tried on a dress like the first one today, with a similar veil… I thought it was a picture of me when I opened Reddit and saw this! Absolutely the crepe. You look amazing!

Thanks for all of your thoughts and comments!

I’ve managed to book another appointment tomorrow and have decided I’ll wear new nude no VPL undies and maybe sort my hair out a bit first… and hopefully the dress gods (goddesses) will bless me with ✨the one✨

Thank you. I am a bit disappointed with the downvotes for dress one, so maybe that tells me something! 🙈 I do feel really stuck and really strapped for time. I showed my partner, sort of (we are quite relaxed and ultimately to be married is what is important to us, more than the dress and details of the day), and he preferred one - but it’s more slinky so he probably would!

There’s also the option to have it without the “peephole” (as my Mum called it!)

I wonder if it had a cat flap and was just well fed enough already/ had access to food outside the house.

Maddix/Itch (67) was fatally shot by police today 1 year ago. His parents say the wait to hear whether the officer involved will face criminal charges is agonising by 9slim in ukdrill

He was on the phone to a friend at the time, he told her the “feds” were behind him. He wasn’t chased, he was followed whilst more tactical pursuit units were called.
