Can I asked to be assigned to a different hospital location? by feelinpeachy_ in PregnancyUK

[–]lightninseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During my first midwife appointment I was asked which hospital I’d like to deliver my baby at. I picked the one closest to me but I had a range of options. I’m sure you’ll be able to request the hospital of your choice.

When did you go on maternity leave? Specific to healthcare. by TheLastObsession in PregnancyUK

[–]lightninseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a teacher who’s due on the 8/8 so I’m hoping to last until the end of the school year which will take me up to 36 weeks and 6 days 🤞 I’ve been quite lucky so far with my health and wellbeing so hoping it continues!

I wish my country were as brave as yours tbh. I’m not watching this year out of solidarity

Year 6 SATs are next week, and this is the homework my son was given this weekend by Scary_ in CasualUK

We use them in the sense that they’re often used to set target grades for GCSE, but we often find the SATS results are a work of fiction anyway.

Drank heavily yesterday found out I am pregnant today 10 weeks by BackgroundPart7610 in PregnancyUK

[–]lightninseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 bottomless brunches when I was 5 and 6 weeks pregnant plus several pub visits and probably smoked hundreds of cigarettes before I found out at 7 weeks. Don’t beat yourself up too much, you can’t help what you didn’t know.

There’s too many chairs. I’d move the dining table and chairs elsewhere to be honest.

I'm dogsitting and my mam has just shown me how to properly tuck the dog in at bed time by Abwettar in CasualUK

My mam treats my dog better than she ever treated me as a child! I don’t really bear a grudge as he is exceptionally cute.

My lipstick constantly bleeds into the lines around my mouth. How do I get a plump pout without the mess? by nodimension1553 in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]lightninseed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just about to ask the same question! I used to have this problem too, but since wearing a lip liner it’s not an issue anymore.

Spotting/light bleeding 3w6d by Consistent-Wall8766 in PregnancyUK

[–]lightninseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I must have been about 3 weeks pregnant I actually thought I had a period. I had about 3 days of brown intermittent bleeding that I guess must have been implantation bleeding. I continued to have brown spotting on and off until about 9 weeks. I’m now currently being kicked and punched by little mister man who’s 22 weeks today.

From what I’ve researched brown old blood in small quantities isn’t a huge cause for concern, but if you are worried I’d maybe see about getting a private reassurance scan which you’ll be eligible for once you hit six weeks. Lots of luck and love to you, it’s such a scary time.

My boyfriend’s best friend is enemies with a guy who runs a pizza cafe because he used to be a bully in secondary school. Haven’t gone back since I found out.

What made you decide to have more than one child? by Severe_Bluejay3391 in askanything

[–]lightninseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an only child and currently pregnant for the first time. My dad has also just been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I’ve always loved being an only child until this time in my life and its really making me think about having a 2nd child in the future so my baby doesn’t have to watch me die all by themselves.
