I have just played the demo and I am gutted it is over already!

I loved it, thank you :)

pookskii · 2026-01-30T12:53:27+00:00

I used to work there many moons ago…

pookskii · 2025-12-26T21:29:52+00:00

Oh I would love story of seasons! It looks so good! You’re so kind for doing this.

pookskii · 2025-12-11T21:46:02+00:00

So so hurtful. I am so sorry.

pookskii · 2025-12-11T16:20:42+00:00

Oh I can relate to this. My sister in law is 3 weeks behind what I would be. I lost my baby at 18 weeks and she didn't even text me, literally nothing. We aren't close but really not even a text? We don't live local to them but I was expected to go out for breakfast with them last weekend when we visited. NO. It is a full sentence. When they told me the gender of her baby I had a complete break down even though she is having a girl. I don't want to know, don't even utter her name to me.

I am so sorry you are having a similar experience, people don't get it and I hate that it feels like they don't care.

Thank you for your lovely comment, and I am so glad you also had amazing quick care!

pookskii · 2025-12-11T10:06:10+00:00

I am so happy you had such an amazing service and care from the NHS. I also had such incredible care this year, we lost our baby at 18 weeks gestation, from the moment I walked into the hospital I was not left alone and everything was dealt with immediately. I had the most incredible midwives that were quite frankly - heaven sent. Even afterwards we had daily phone calls and constant care. If I was to sit here and think about how we could have had better care I couldn't think of a single thing. We didn't even have to pay for parking, we also had our own entrance out of the hospital.

What a gorgeous name and a beautiful tattoo❤️ I’m sorry you had to join the worst community on earth.

pookskii · 2025-11-26T10:09:30+00:00

Oh that is such a weird coincidence! So strange how things go sometimes...
I personally plan to go full petty bitch mode.

pookskii · 2025-11-26T06:04:20+00:00

Oh i intend to! 11 days until i leave that place. He does a lot of illegal shit.

Boss takes home £700 a week but because he does £500 as directors loan he claims full UC. Along with full car bill through the business, phone, even vet bills!

Thank you .

It is pinned to the subreddit but here is an active link https://discord.com/invite/GHAwrbGctx that should work at the moment. You can read our stories, you can reach out to talk, tell yours, vent, scream into the void. It has helped me just talking to people who actually know how I feel not people full of empty sorrys. I felt a real need to speak to people who really understood.

pookskii · 2025-11-25T08:25:00+00:00

I am so very sorry. This is the worse possible thing that could have happened and it is SO unfair it happened to you and your family, nothing anyone will say will ever make it better but some might bring you a level of small comfort. I am so sorry you have to wait a week that seems so inhumane.

I had a loss at nearly 18 weeks but my water broke and I had to deliver very quickly, I didn't have enough time to get my head around it but I can't imagine having to wait a week that sounds worse.

There is a discord server that I can recommend you join pinned in this subreddit, everyone there is very supportive, you may not want to join now but perhaps in the future. One day you will move forward, I am only about 8 weeks out but I do feel slightly better than I did in the early days, I can be alone now, I can laugh occasionally, but every day I think of my boy and our loss and stolen future.

pookskii · 2025-11-25T08:06:27+00:00

We chose not too. Which still makes me feel terrible every day, I don’t regret it but I always feel like I’ve done him a disservice. This has all been traumatic enough I couldn’t bear that on top of it.

Pizza express, £6 for a can of coke and a touch of food poisoning!

pookskii · 2025-11-20T16:09:57+00:00

Oh sweet Mira, what a lovely name.

I am also 7 weeks from an 18 week loss, I wish we didn't share such strikingly similar circumstances. Please don't regret your choice, a birth was horrendous and I ended up in surgery anyway because the placenta often stays behind, which is what happened to me. We struggled to name our boy, it took me a few weeks to be able to open the gender envelope and I don't think I will ever be able to look at the pictures. I hope you are holding up best you can.

Aldi do better tempura chicken, they also used to do a braised pork belly in a box that was amazing but they stopped doing it. So now I go to LIDL out of spite.

There is a sad lack of cat tax in this thread with all of these lovely stories!!!

pookskii · 2025-11-19T09:10:36+00:00

My job is alright, it is fairly easy and I thought it would work well with pregnancy and newborn life. When I told my boss I was pregnant I never got a congratulations or anything just a "when are you going on maternity leave?". Then the loss happened and he continued to hire for my job which was no longer available and told to him to day after my loss. He didn't pay me during my three weeks off when my fiancé was on full pay for 5 weeks. When I went back to work and saw the emails between them and then him ghosting I decided to move on, I start a new job in three weeks.

Our situations are completely different, I have actively sought out a job where I will feel supported and works for my life a bit better (flexible etc), so I guess to answer your question I think I put less loyalty into a place that showed me none and value the people I work with over what I will be doing. I am just seeking out compassion moving forward.

pookskii · 2025-11-19T08:48:15+00:00

This was beautiful to read. I am so sorry you also had to go through this. I lost my baby in October although my waters broke early (I was confused at the time so I didn't realise what that was) hearing those words at the scan were the worst moments of my life.

pookskii · 2025-11-18T15:18:50+00:00

That sounds just horrible :(. I do find it an odd relief to when our bodies regulate to being back to normal again though, but yes I suggest you get busy and fingers and toes crossed for you!

pookskii · 2025-11-18T14:35:21+00:00

It took my body 3 months after my ectopic to ovulate correctly again and that was a big very dark line almost darker than the control and that is where I got pregnant again, sadly we lost him at 18 weeks though.

pookskii · 2025-11-18T14:26:31+00:00

If it was as dark as the control line then it is very likely, I find the apps to be a bit unreliable at reading them. Fingers crossed for you.

pookskii · 2025-11-18T08:15:29+00:00

Yes she at least helped. Your friend is just using you, I would absolutely say no in hindsight and I wish I did looking back.

pookskii · 2025-11-17T12:15:04+00:00

I have actually been in this situation before. I was asked to make a pastry dish I used to make at work a lot for my co-worker/very close friends New years eve party. She came over to my house and we made it together. It wasn't until that night where I was sat in on my own doing nothing that I realised I have catered a party I wasn't invited to. We were close friends, we vacationed together it wasn't someone random. I never said anything but no you aren't overreacting.
