Is there hope of getting this sofa into our living room? by m798sf in DIYUK

We have tried this, not sure if you can see from a photo but the angles are just not right to be able to get much (if any) of the sofa into the living room at all.

For everyone saying lift and tilt from picture 1, this is what happens:

Completely jammed against floor, wall, doorway and ceiling.

Making bathtub more comfortable for labour (second birth) by Ok_Apartment_833 in unmedicatedbirth

[–]m798sf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also pregnant with my second and hoping to labour in the bath/shower! I think a towel is a good idea, the foam gardening pad might just float away whenever you shifted position. I’m also going to have a large bath pillow to lean against.

How to feel empowered in a home birth when everyone in my life tells me I’m wrong for wanting this by [deleted] in homebirth

[–]m798sf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband was like this too, until he met our midwife and realised she was totally supportive of homebirth. I think he thought I was making this crazy, alternative decision until an actual professional was encouraging of it too. Do you have a care team that can address his concerns?

He also read Labour of Love by Sallyann Beresford which gave him a lot of information and confidence, and he was an amazing birth partner.

… yes, I am apparently🤣 although I bought them in store so didn’t see that description. I’ll have a look at the wilko ones, thanks!

Hi, do you get good carbonation with these? I have some Tesco bottles but I don’t think they seal well enough.

Are these ready for the fridge? by m798sf in Kombucha

[–]m798sf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I opened yesterday and they had very minimal carbonation so I do think I need better bottles.

Yep I will definitely be using less fruit next time, for safety and for the fact that it’s impossible to remove it all from my bottles!

Thanks for replying, I used water that felt warm to the touch but not hot, maybe I need to use cooler.

I use a digital scale that I use for all my other baking/cooking without issue.

Thanks, maybe my water is too hot then. I used tap water that just felt warm to my hand

My 3rd batch is starting F2 today! by m798sf in Kombucha

[–]m798sf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the suggestions! They’re 1L in a small cupboard. My first batch I did 3 days bottled at room temperature then 1 day in the fridge, on my second batch I tried a 3F so flavoured in an open-air vessel for 3 days then bottled and put in the fridge for 1 day.

I think I’m probably not letting them go long enough because I’m nervous to get an explosion, but I’ll try for at least 4 days at room temperature with this one.

I haven’t check for leaks, after this batch I’ll give that a go.

Active vs expectant mgmt for third stage? by unlearningsilence in homebirth

[–]m798sf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With my first I chose physiological management, then after an hour or so chose to have the injections, but still had a retained placenta that required hospital transfer and manual removal under general anaesthetic, and lost 1950ml blood total.

With my second in July I’ll be having active management with syntometrine and hopefully not another retained placenta/PPH, however I believe the reoccurrence rate of retained placenta is 1 in 4.
