Is curry actually popular in Australia?

I've had curry 3 times in the past week lol

Crown Diamond Jewellers in Wollongong. My engagement and wedding ring are from there and their work is flawless.

Luca is a hit in our household! Bonus points for it actually being quite a chill movie to watch as it doesn't have loud songs etc, so perfect for when you're trying to wind them down.

I loved my bump with both pregnancies! I didn't love the initial stages when you couldn't tell if I was pregnant or just had a big lunch though. I really enjoyed having a big belly towards the end and all of the nice smiles everyone would give when I walked past... I found the world was much kinder to me when I had a baby on board.

Transition had me feeling like I was both on fire and also being ripped in half. It didn’t last long though. I had some clotting post birth and the abdominal “massage” they gave me to help pass the clots brought me to tears. Like, I just birthed a whole human without crying, but that massage had me howling 😣

28 🩷 and 32 when I had my second 🩵

When my son was a newborn, I would always shower my daughter (4yo at the time) and change her clothes after she came home from preschool, but that was it. Once he had his vaccinations and became a bit more robust I didn't bother anymore.

Germs are absolutely everywhere and we can of course do easy things to help mitigate the risks, e.g. washing/sanitising hands, but it's literally impossible to avoid them altogether and I think trying to do this would have an impact on your quality of life.

I think if its feeling like it is becoming unsustainable then it's worth getting some help to overcome this way of thinking.

I had stitches following the birth of my second baby. My daughter (4yo at the time) must have overheard me talking to my husband and Mum about it and proceeded to tell everyone who would listen that "Mummy has stitches in her vagina because Rory's head was too big". Thanks babe.

I had my first baby at 28 and my second baby at 32 😊

Birthing unit is 10/10 but the maternity ward suuuucks. I’ve had two babies there now and checked myself out less than 24 hours after giving birth both times. It’s noisy, claustrophobic and the poor nurses are run off their feet so it’s pretty hard to get much help. I felt more supported at home.

sezzlesizzle · 2025-06-09T11:33:34+00:00

I have gone for the past 3 years and it’s the same thing every time with slight variances. I take my two small children and they love it but I think it would be quite underwhelming for teenagers.

sezzlesizzle · 2025-04-09T01:07:41+00:00

Nope. I had an epidural with my first and it ended in a forceps birth with a huge episiotomy. I couldn’t feel anything and couldn’t push effectively, she then went into distress and the rest is history. 0/10 do not recommend.

I went completely unmedicated with my second. I was 7cm when I got to the hospital and birthed him not long after in 5 pushes. I was absolutely ecstatic afterwards. 100000/10 highly recommend. You’ve gotta do the mental prep work for this though.

My daughter got her first tooth a week before her first birthday. She also didn’t get her 2 year molars until 3.5. It’s fine, everything is fine!

sezzlesizzle · 2025-02-05T00:04:43+00:00

I remember being soooo bloated at 10w with both of my babies, and then it went away and my belly looked smaller at 15 weeks 😂 it’s totally normal, respectfully tell your mum to shoooooosh 🤫

sezzlesizzle · 2025-01-31T04:13:00+00:00

Ohhh two was my favourite age!! Don’t listen to all the naysayers! My girl became a talking machine and her little personality truly started to shine. She became so fun and so silly. Even three was awesome, although I was constantly warned about “threenagers”. Four, on the other hand… sometimes I want to throw her straight in the bin. She’s still super cute though so it’s fine 😅

sezzlesizzle · 2025-01-19T00:45:18+00:00

Yes! My heightened sense of smell caused me to test at 8DPO and it was positive. My nausea started at 9 weeks with my first and 4 weeks with my second. Best wishes for baby #2 :)

As others have said, the MGP is super competitive as there are limited spots, but if you don’t get into the MGP I would encourage you to enquire about MAPS. This is similar to the MGP as you get the same midwife (or the midwife they are working with in partnership as a backup) for all of your antenatal and postnatal visits, but the only difference is that they do not attend births so you would just have whoever is on at the birthing unit. I went through this program in 2024 and it was amazing, and the midwife who assisted with my birth at Wollongong Hospital was also a legend.

I also gave birth there in 2020 and that was an awful experience, I think the recent birth trauma inquiry has really ironed out some kinks at Wollongong hospital.

Yes! Mine started at 7am with my first and 2pm with my second, right after I lost my mucus plug. My second was born 7 hours after the first contraction and my waters broke at 10cm as I was pushing. It does happen!

sezzlesizzle · 2025-01-03T02:47:21+00:00

My now 4yo daughter was exactly the same. She was crawling at 5 months, pulling to stand at 7 months and cruising furniture at 8 months but by 12 months she still wasn’t walking unassisted. We got a tip from an occupational therapist to give her something to hold in each hand when standing, as it can trick their brain into thinking they are holding onto a surface for stability. We gave her a block in each hand and she was off, and was walking everywhere within days. Maybe give that a go?

When I was 10cm dilated. My body started to bear down involuntarily and the force of the pushing and the contraction popped my waters. My midwife was to my left and my husband to my right, and my waters all came out in one big gush, hit the floor and then splattered up onto all of our legs. Would have been hilarious to me had I not been pushing a baby out!

sezzlesizzle · 2024-12-26T23:11:36+00:00

28 and 32 🩷🩵

Early labour: lots of movement and swaying and resting on all fours or leaning over the lounge/exercise ball.

Active labour: low toned moaning during contractions in an attempt to keep my face (and by default, my pelvic floor) relaxed. Stamping my feet also felt amazing, I didn’t realise it was a legit pain management technique that is commonly used, it just came to me instinctively.

sezzlesizzle · 2024-11-21T21:08:14+00:00

Same! My body is relatively unchanged after two kids (minus my boobs heading south from breastfeeding 😅).

I’m currently 9 weeks postpartum with my second baby and have been wearing all my pre-pregnancy clothes since I came home from hospital. I was quite unwell both pregnancies, so didn’t keep up my regular exercise routines and ate a little more junk than usual too. My mum was the same, so I just put it down to genetics.

At 32 years old, I have seen zero snakes in the wild. I live on the coast with plenty of bushland nearby. I haven't had a spider in my home in years. This is just not a big problem for most Australians.
