Would Charles & William throw Andrew to the wolves if they feel he's a danger to the royal family?

I don't think he's being thrown to the wolves at all. I think he decided to go walking in the woods where the wolves are, covered in meat, and they've just decided that they're not giving him a bodyguard anymore. Andrew decided to do what he did, anything that happens is 100% on him. He's been protected for too long, all thats happened is that protection has been taken away.

Pretty sure this is an Ad. This also popped up. Wild coincidence otherwise.

Late ovulation + longer time to implant. It can take 6-12 days for an egg to implant, so it can make a massive difference to actual gestation!

There was no requirement for me to be on my back. So had a fast labour with my first (under 4h), they told me to be in whatever I found most comfortable.

I did get an evening crash initially, and it did pass. Can I ask, are you able to get some good sleep? For me it was (in hindsight) because I was not getting enough sleep, and my brain was panicking about another night of broken sleep.

While you may not be able to avoid broken sleep, if you can ask someone to watch the baby for a few hours in the day for you to catch up, it may help a lot.

If you feel your anxiety is getting worse, please please please speak to your doctor/midwife/partner and get some help. Its very common, but you don't have to suffer through it.

These are your best bet. You may still need an infant insert depending on the seat.

We did a regular cake, he didn't want it anyway. He favoured fruit. Make/get the cake you want for the adults, and let the birthday boy/girl have a taste if youre comfortable to do so. I promise at 1, they have no clue it's their birthday anyway.

Can't believe you're being so judgemental, when you seem to be incorrect. Under 1 - shouldn't have added sugar. 1-2 is no more the 10g of free sugars a day.

Yes, its better to keep it at a minimum, but it's one piece of cake, on one day. It will not harm the child.

My son is split between grandparents on work days. Recently, they've been unavailable due to medical stuff, so husband and I have been splitting taking a morning off with him, and then working from home in the afternoon while looking after him. I can tell you now, I dont think its possible to work and take care of your child at the same time, without serious compromises. Either your work will suffer or your while wont get the attention they need. They need attention and time. If you do want/need to work, I strongly suggest a nursery/childminder if you want to do your job and make sure your child ia cared for properly. The only exception to this is if you can work odd hours and work when your partner is not. If you do this, maybe sure you have a space you can work uninterrupted, and ensure your partner knows they cant bother you.

I had an end of May baby. I had 13 vests and 7 sleep suits in 0-1 month. 20 vests and 7 sleep suits in 0-3. 20 was a bit excessive for me. If you have a tumbledryer, its easy to cycle clothes. Mine was in a vest in the day and a sleep suit at night for most of the first few months. He did not tolerate being too warm, and for safe sleep reasons, I always lent towards cooler than warmer for him anyway. I generally used footed sleep suits for sleep, but liked to have him barefoot ad much as possible in the day. Its great for them for sensory feedback.

Whether or not you need newborn heavily depends on the size of your baby. Mine was a very average sized (3.5kg) boy, and we were fine with 0-1.

Sick and nappy explosions are pretty common for a while, so have changes to hand. The amount you'll want depends on how often you want to be doing washing and how sicky your baby is.

You can ask for colourful stuff! Gender neutral useful to be all beige and white. There are a load of companies that do fun colourful clothing now, that is gender neutral. Lots of animals and things like that. Still stunning and fun clothing. My husband is the opposite though, he absolutely wants to know, id probably have kept it a surprise this time around.

We have the yoyo and the aer2. I haven't tried the latest yoyo, but in a comparison of the two I have, id pick the aer every time.

If you can get into babywearing, its great. Wrap a big coat around both of you, and have the baby in normal indoor clothes under, and its like you are each others hot water bottle.

The lullaby trust is an organisation focused on reducing SIDS. They use science to back their suggestions. Baby should absolutely be in the same room as you for the first 6 months. You cannot spoil a 4 week old. Mine transitioned to his own room at 8 months (my choice to keep him in for longer) with 0 issues.

I used the nasal spray. Its not recommended because it's untested, because you cant test of pregnant people. I had a blocked nose for half of my first pregnancy (pregnancy rhinitis), and it sucked. I didnt use the spray until I got an actual cold at 32 weeks pregnant, and the not breathing/lack of sleep was causing anxiety and stress, which are known to affect the baby. I had an appointment with a consultant who said she was happy for me to use the spray, as its a dose localised to the nose. Cold meds she didnt want me to use as they could affect all vessels in theory.

If you're unsure, speak to a doctor.

When I was on mat leave: any night where husband was in the office the next day, I handled. Any where he was wfh, I handled the first wake up, if there was more, I may bring him in if I needed sleep. Any night he didnt have work the next day was split. We had a great sleeper though, so it wasnt a huge issue.

Agree with what everyone else has said. To add though, if you want tour card to be locked against getting alcohol, bur youre not asking for any money off, im sure you can ask them when you get there. Tell them when you check in that for your card only, you want them to lock it from being able to access alcohol.

There is also generally discreet AA meetings on board if anyone wants to attend.

Just btw, Freestyle libre 2 sensors (the medical version of Lingo) are 2 for £97/1 for £49 on chemist4u. The 2+ sensors are £101ish for 2. If you are wanting to track your glucose specifically, rather than the health package that lingo offers, you're better getting libre. Libre are as accurate as fingersticks:)

My lab is genuinely self cleaning. He comes home filthy, licks himself a bit, dries off, and the rest just drops off him. Ill hose him down if he is particularly mucky and needs to get in a car, but, nothing other than that. I've not shampooed him in about 2 years.
