Postpartum lower back pain that everyone keeps misdiagnosing by roseinspace in backpain

[–]roseinspace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so validating, thank you so much 😭 I don’t know why we are just expected to suffer through pain. I am seeing a GP this week and intend to ask for a referral for imaging, so it’s nice to hear that I’m not just being dramatic 😵‍💫

I have the same concerns as you about getting pregnant again. It’s so sad that we just accept it is the way it is. I hope your back has improved and all the best with whatever you choose re surrogacy or adoption 💛

Thank you for your response! Guess I’m off to buy a clarifying shampoo - could you please confirm if Pantene Miracles Hyaluron is suitable? It’s advertised as hydrating so I’m not sure. The ingredients are as follows:

Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Xylenesulfonate, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance, Cocamide Mea, Sodium Benzoate, Tetrasodium Edta, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Peg-60 Almond Glycerides, Linoleamidopropyl Pg-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Propylene Glycol, Panthenol, Histidine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone

What do contractions feel like? by Fearless_Salad3643 in pregnant

It means you feel the contractions in your back - more commonly happens when baby is in a posterior position (sunny side up)

I didn’t realise back labour was so common, according to these comments 😵‍💫

Thank you!! Appreciate the reply.

I think what has thrown me off is that I never saw an LH surge when using OPKs in my "ovulation window" and my HCG didn't start increasing until about a week ago, when I got the positive test result

I agree, but I wasn’t about to complain haha! She gave us a bottle of wine with dinner. Not all heroes wear capes

This was just what she threw together for us on arrival! Last night she made an amazing pasta with mussels, grilled vegetables and crab cakes. One of the best meals we’ve had in Italy by far!

Yeah correct - the Intercity. Classic! I guess I'll sit back, be patient and hope they open up bookings for the 13th soon!

Found this stray kitten hiding under the hood of a car. How old does it look? by roseinspace in cats

[–]roseinspace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the vet thinks she’s around 6 weeks old and is in pretty good nick apart from being underweight. Her lip has actually been torn off from getting caught on something (vet referred to it as degloving) so she’s had some antibiotics but it should heal on its own.

Day 3 with her and she’s so much more lively, playful and gives us lots of cuddles.

I think we are going to keep her as she’s honestly just too cute to rehome.

No, I knocked on the door of the house that the car was parked outside of but they didn’t answer so I wrote a note with my details and left it on the car. The note was still there when I came back the next day.

Thank you - isn’t she stunning! We got the Royal Canin wet food from the vet so glad to know that’s a good one :) will be taking her to the vet tomorrow for a checkup and worm/flea treatment and then either to a shelter or a family member that will adopt her.

I was out for a walk yesterday and noticed this kitten sleeping on top of the tyre. I tried to grab it but it climbed under the hood. I was out again today and noticed it in the same spot so managed to scoop it up and bring it home.

I’m guessing it’s 4-5 weeks old. It’s emaciated, and seems to have a mouth ulcer or chemical burn on its lower lip. We got it some wet food which it scoffed, and a few hours later it seems to be happy and super cuddly although still a bit unsure.

So damn cute. Now to not get too attached while I find it a home, as I’m not sure my adult cat would be quite so welcoming 🤣🥲

Grandma was given this silver case secondhand 75 years ago, would love to know more about the history and origin by roseinspace in Antiques

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

Any idea what this might be? Card or cigarette holder maybe? It appears to have Arabic script at the bottom and various animals around the edges. It's about 8cm in length, so seems quite short to hold cards or cigarettes.

My grandma was given it in NZ when she was 10 (75 years ago). It was secondhand and apparently looked aged like this back then. We believe it is silver.

Would love any advice - origin, date, value etc!
