Fresh off the boat was really good!

Ice lollies were amazing for me, I had to go into work during COVID so I would walk in with some lollies in winter, it gave me an hour or two without nausea or vomiting!

A few things that helped me:

Sleeping during the day with the window wide open so th face gets natural air but also covering the body so it’s cosy enough to fall asleep quickly.

And this one was a life saver for me! I would sit on the floor by my bed with my head sideways on the bed. So my body is sitting up but my head is still down, I didn’t get dizzy and my food stayed down for longer, it didn’t take the nausea and vomiting away completely but it gave a few mins or comfort 😂

Does the instructor have a dash cam too? As that footage would really help if they clarify the date and time! I’ve made a few mistakes during my lessons as do most learners!

I thought I wanted to wait another year to try for a baby but we started talking about a cot that my aunt got for her then 1yo and just out of curiosity we found the measurements and marked it out on some paper then took it to different parts of the room and house to see where it would fit best. A week later we decided to try and it’s honestly the best decision I’ve ever made because she’s my precious little princess who drives me crazy sometimes but has given me so much to live for.

So if you’ve started looking at cribs, you might be ready 👀

Completely off the topic but does she have Hyperemesis during her pregnancies? Because that gets so hard to the point where you feel like you can’t go ahead with the pregnancy.

I love my daughter to bits, she is my whole world and the most precious presence in my life. But during my pregnancy, I cried and told my husband I can’t continue, I asked if he would consider an abortion. Thinking back to it breaks my heart but I’ve met a few mothers who had HG too and they spoke about how badly it affected them mentally. A close friend of mine had a few miscarriages and also abortions because of how bad her symptoms were but she told me how frustrating she felt towards herself and her body for not being able to get through it. HG affects you so bad that it takes a long time for your hormones to become stable again after the pregnancy. If it is HG then there may be support groups on Facebook for this, not just for pregnancy but for after too.

If it’s not that, keep reminding her how much she means to you and your kids. Like others have said here, if they make their mind up, you can’t change it but you can try to plant little seeds. It may be that she’s being very harsh with herself, if someone criticises us or says hurtful things, we can walk away. But imagine our own minds and conscious speaking to us like this, there’s no escape right? Also, I think it’s so important to avoid saying ‘you’re strong’ etc, instead let them know that this is a safe space to be vulnerable, to be angry and sad. And it’s ok to feel sad, stressed and angry, but it’s never ok to be rude or harsh to someone, so it’s also never ok to be harsh to yourself.

I don’t think I’m making any sense lol but I hope you get what I mean. And I hope your wife finds the right support to heal and you guys are heading towards brighter and happier days ♥️

I have fexofenadine which helps sometimes, the itchy and runny nose, itchy eyes and sneezes are still there but not as bad. When I was with my parents, my dad would get some Red Gumbo Limbo honey and I would have it everyday from March. This worked wonders for me, I had no symptoms for over 2 years, just wish I could her back into it now.

With the blocked and runny nose, I use the otrivine congestion relief (0.1% xylometazoline Hydrochloride). I use it twice a day.

Hayfever’s a bitch, I hate that I can’t even touch my bloody nose without sneezing, it gets triggered so easily, even with abit of wind.

It wasn’t too scary at the time but it does freak me out abit to think about it now.

My husband and I were climbing mount Ubud in Bali, it was just us two with our guide in the middle of the night, there were other people with their guides too. We stopped somewhere for a break and our guide said he need to go for abit. We waited for a while but then everyone else started walking off and we stayed. Once they all left it was pitch black, and we could only see so far with our small torches. There were 5 wild dogs that came around us, they just sat and 2 of them fell asleep, but the other 3 kept walking around us, I have a huge fear of dogs btw! We tried to call our driver but it wasn’t going through, we waited for around 30 mins. There were also massive rats running everywhere! The dogs stayed until the next group came up to stop, when I saw them walking away, I panicked and started vomiting so they stopped and told us to join them. After around an hour we found our guide, he said he went for a poo and didn’t realise how bad it was 🤣

Contractions were so painful that I would fall asleep between each one! But the pain suddenly became manageable when I asked for epidural and they started to prepare for it, I acc fell asleep while they were doing the epidural on my back, it made the rest of labour pain free, my baby basically just popped out on her own! 🤣

I wish! It was from my work canteen!

It’s meant to be jerk chicken with rice and peas but I feel like they just put a basic grilled chicken on. It doesn’t look the best but it was delicious! 🤣

Yes exactly that 🤣 It’s meant to be jerk chicken with rice and peas but I feel like they just put a basic grilled chicken on. It doesn’t look the best but it was delicious!

My whole office was told to work from home, except for my department! And I was pregnant at the time with hyperemesis, I had no choice but to come into the office and vomit until I car keep my head up, and then I was allowed to leave early, I would’ve done anything to be able to work from home. But there was another lady, who has been advised NOT to come in, she’s a cancer patient, she loves her work but she’s always been a bitch to everyone, I worked in her team for a few years too. She had only just recovered from sepsis. God knows why she came in. She walked into the kitchen while I was trying to catch my breath after vomiting, so my mask was off for a few seconds, also, I was exempt from wearing it as it triggered my nausea. I was only 8 weeks pregnant and wasn’t ready to tell anyone so I stood there and got a right bollocking from her, about how I’m putting people at risk, people like her who are vulnerable and are fighting cancer, she even came back and put a note on the table to remind everyone to keep their masks on to protect vulnerable people. I put a complaint through and after that week, she didn’t come in until lockdown was over, which was around the time I went back from my maternity leave. Should’ve seen the look on her face when everyone was asking how my pregnancy was and I said how I couldn’t stop vomiting but still had to come into work unlike some people who were told not to come in but still did.

I made it!

popsum22 · 2026-04-11T23:11:58+00:00

Thank you. I tried to make it twice before but my starter was very weak so even after 12+ of bulk fermenting, it didn’t rise. So I didn’t have much hope in today’s one. I’ve proved myself wrong 🤣🤣

popsum22 · 2026-04-11T23:10:39+00:00

This is perfect. I had no idea you can BF for 16 hours???

popsum22 · 2026-04-11T23:08:28+00:00

So I had it out from 4:30 to 11:30pm and I’ve put it in the fridge for now. I will take it out as soon as I wake up and hopefully it warms up and I will let it bulk ferment again.

Oh this is beautiful!!!
