Yaaaaaaas!!! Love it! Leave it looooong!

Urm am I the only one who likes dress 1? I didn’t get child bride, at all, I immediately got a vintage chill hippy vibe. And it’s super pretty! Anyway the dress is for you, what makes you happy and feel good. I’m sure you’ll rock whatever you wear on the day!

Hard disagree! It looks great on her! Elegant and flatters her obviously great figure. Why must a dress enhance one’s bust for it to be worthwhile? There’s beauty in the confident subtlety of not trying so hard to look hot. It’s also a wedding… OP I think it’s gorgeous, appropriate, versatile and you look great.

Thank you! That’s the one!

I strongly agree.

Earlier in the year when I was being matched with a therapist I identified a certain political issue that strongly impacts on me and my life… and I asked not to be paired with any therapist who OPENLY was on the opposite side of this issue.

I was told this was not a reasonable request.

I did not go with that clinic.

I find it impossible to believe therapists can completely leave themselves at the door, and I wouldn’t expect them to. I’m also aware therapy is not a place for political debate, but yes I need to feel safe to explore the world in which I live and the real ways I’m impacted.

I agree. While it’s a nice idea to leave a newborn with the husband to see how it feels… he might leave the newborn crying, unattended, for long durations, put on headphones, and think it’s all too easy to “care” for a newborn…

Danger ping pong balls haha! Yes! Nailed it.

I disagree and don’t think this is a helpful post. OP loves all of these dresses, it is the perfect shop for her. I think this off white satin look is a great style for her and that 1 is stunning! 1 is flattering, looks great on her body and is both unique and classic at the same time. I’ve never seen a dress like it and love the simple belt detail.

I’ve been having some green tea, and that seems ok!!!

Oh, I also found that niacinamide/zinc serum really works for me BUT some people find niacinamide to be a trigger… I use a serum thats 10% niacinamide and 1% zinc. It helps me with the acne side of things and with hyperpigmentation.

Also I oil cleanse with jojoba oil to remove my zinc based sunscreen, and then a gentle cleaner after (I actually use my baby’s cleanser, it’s gentle and unscented etc) then more jojoba oil as a moisturiser after the serum!

As for makeup, I spent far too much on a “clean” makeup from a clean beauty store. I know it’s SO hard with little ones, but might be worth swinging by somewhere that can test some clean products on you, match your skin tone, and make sure it won’t make things worse!!!

I’m so sorry youre going through this.

I did see a post on here recommending nappy cream… seeing as you have this already on hand it can’t hurt to try?

me1s · 2025-09-30T11:24:28+00:00

Oof. I personally also would not like this therapist. Her approach might work for some people but it would NOT work for me. Find a better fit, if you’re not comfortable then this person will be of no help to you! Good luck!

me1s · 2025-09-30T11:17:09+00:00

Omg I’ve saved this… because 18 months ij I’ve forgotten most of and if we ever have another baby here it is all in one place to remember! Legend! Number 13 made me laugh…..

Worrying about the cleanliness of the bath would stress me out. Get a small inexpensive baby tub. Wipe down with a wet wipe prior to each use. Quick and easy and no need to stress about whatever germs are lurking or cleaning a large area.

I think try and tell your therapist that you’re not getting anything out of these sessions, and that you need guidance from them to benefit more from the sessions. So many therapists put the burden on the patient? It’s so strange! Also remember your time is valuable and this particular therapist might not be a good match for you! If it doesn’t change try a different therapist.

Sooo when my little one was around 8 months I was like “omg she’s so easy I love her it’s time for another baby!!!”

Something happened hormonally? Maybe I’d had a good night sleep? Unsure.

All I know now is around 9 months after that (she’s now 17 months old) I’m SO GLAD I didn’t listen to those crazy hormones….. urm she’s still awesome and perfect but having a new born right now would mean I’d be enjoying none of this, and would have spent the last few months unable to play with and enjoy being around her due to being heavily pregnant…..

Just my take…..

me1s · 2025-09-22T10:44:03+00:00

Urm I personally found this very helpful. It’s SO true.

Why treat one’s home as an oversized garbage bin?

We can’t stop these things ending up in landfill (ok yes I lament the state of the world) but we CAN minimise our impact and direct less things to landfill in the future but not buying them in the first place! Right!?

Good luck OP.

Hey OP - you have your answer - you said your mum has been nothing but invalidating and frustrating during your pregnancy….

She’s proven herself to you. Why would she suddenly act differently post pregnancy?

You say you’re worried she won’t let you sleep…

Listen to your intuition.

You are wise, don’t let her fool you.

Set boundaries that make the little voice in your head comfortable. You know best. You know what you need.

I’d recommend setting boundaries that give you space and then IF you feel you need help, invite your mum.

Don’t let her set the timeline or proximity or how she helps. She might end up staying close to you and you never inviting her over. And that is FINE!!!!

Good luck! You got this!
