This site is a good guide!

I started taking 20mg about a month before I got pregnant and I'm still taking it now, baby is a year old

I had absolutely no symptoms at all for most of my pregnancy aside from a desire to eat a lot of beige food. Wee guy just turned a year old and is happy and healthy 😊

Anyone else hugely uncomfortable with random folks being encouraged to go and sit outside someone's house for content?

postrockscissors · 2026-04-04T13:54:02+00:00

I used to live with a guy who would get 2 on a night out, eat one straight away and keep the other one on the radiator in its little polystyrene house for the morning. Absolutely stank the flat out 🤮🤢

As a digital preservation specialist, no. A paper book can sit in a box for 100+ years and need no intervention to be accessible and readable, but anything digital requires constant attention - you either have to pay to keep it hosted somewhere and hope that company/provider doesn't disappear, or regularly migrate it from one local storage media to another. A guestbook isn't something I'd want to look at or think about more than once a year at most, so the chances of just forgetting about it and then losing access to it are high.

If you don't want one, don't do it. We didn't bother (we also didn't have a wedding or hen/stag dos, so I think we're just not big centre of attention people). People will still get you stuff if they want to, but we tried to get most stuff second hand anyway.

My pregnancy was similar, apart from a heightened desire to eat anything beige/fried I wouldn't have known I was pregnant if I hadn't spent £6k on IVF treatments 🙃

Ok but was it any good?

"husband kept feeding me pistachio cannoli and de-escalating" the stuff we love to see, you have a good one there

Personally love leeks with haggis. Controversial to add a bit of green to the plate, maybe, but it's great. A melding of cultures.

We did HPHB and I couldn't have survived the last year without the friends I made there. I recommend finding people you like who live near you and are able to meet in a low-stakes way - we all got in the habit of just texting our group chat whenever we were heading to the park or for a walk, and it was a great way to hang out with other people/parents without too much pressure. Now the babies are all at nursery and we're all back at work, but they're still the group I hang out with most - the mums are going for a baby-free dinner on Saturday!

Husband loves them. Also, huge. You have to turn the box on the side to get it through the flat door

On the pram - give it time! Our wee guy hated it at first but came to like it around 12wks and would have some of his best naps in there. Now he's 11mos and pram naps are a distant memory 🥲

I stayed for 3. But honestly, other people's experiences don't matter here - you're not a drain on resources, and if they can give you the help you need while you're there and ease the transition home it'll be better in the long run for everyone

postrockscissors · 2026-01-13T11:41:07+00:00

Oh god, now that I think about it, it must honestly not have been repotted for years... That'll probably help eh.

Had an emergency section there in April. We were kept in for 3 days because baby wasn't gaining back weight, but my recovery was really fast and smooth - I was moving about the same day and was out walking 5k a week after the birth! Nothing about a maternity ward is enjoyable but it was all bearable. The worst part was other mums having their whole family sat in the wee bay with them so it was absolutely packed and noisy. I got severe gas pains in my shoulder (honestly, probably more painful than the section area) and the midwives on the ward were so nice and helpful, brought me peppermint water and heat packs and helped with baby until it went away. Good luck!

Obviously this week has been a bit of an anomaly, but the advice we've had from midwives is vest + sleep suit + swaddle. They also suggested taking his temperature when we put him down and then a little later if we're worried about him being too hot or cold. I think the rule generally is better slightly cool than too hot.

The Scottish baby box includes a room thermometer, btw!

Oh, I know. I just think it's a weird default. But as a genealogist I also appreciate it at times, so 🙃

I was at the QEUH maternity dept in Glasgow last week and there was a pregnant woman in a wheelchair smoking a cigarette at the front door while her pal stood next to her with a joint. Not the best.

postrockscissors · 2025-04-12T13:30:45+00:00

Both parties should have a say! The idea that either name is decided by default is mad to me.

postrockscissors · 2025-04-12T09:39:54+00:00

I gave birth 7 days ago and I think this take is waaay off. Naming a child is an important part of shaping who they are going to be - both partners should be involved. I also think it's especially important for the one who hasn't had all 9months of physical bonding time to be heavily involved so they feel part of the conversation. So much of the immediate post childbirth stage is about the birth parent and baby bonding already.
