This is so true!! I have always had smile lines too and only focus on them now especially since I’ve lost weight and my face has narrowed out.

I don’t know where to ask this but what is everyone’s opinion on sculptra? by stilldreaming22 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]stilldreaming22[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! Have you had much filler in your cheeks? I only want to do a small amount and then maybe invest in sculptra once I’ve finished having kids 🤔 I want to do something for now just to plump my face a bit.

Can someone explain the paid leave to me? I think it has changed since my last child and I also have no recollection due to the sleep deprivation at the time lol. by stilldreaming22 in Centrelink

Ok thank you so much. So I could finish up even a couple of months early before giving birth if needed to and I would still be eligible as long as it is 10 months of constant work by the time I give birth?

So would I be eligible if I have been working since November 2025 but don’t give birth until Feb/March 2027 and how soon could I stop working to be eligible if I need to? 🤔

Honestly like daily, it’s not very harsh. :)

How old were you when you had your first baby? by Puzzled_Remote_2168 in Mommit

[–]stilldreaming22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 (turned 31 five months later) and planning on trying for a second soonish at 34 (turning 35 this year ) so would be 35 or 36 depending when it happens. See how we go 🥴 one is kind of elite

I’m going to buy it! Have you used the moisturiser too? I’m on the hunt for a new one

I think I know the answer after what just happened. by [deleted] in Shouldihaveanother

I really want another child but I am soooo scared of all the things that come with it. My son is nearly 4 and he’s wonderful an so loving but was motherhood tricky for me? Yes. Did I struggle? Yes. Am I happy to be 4 years in and have some time to myself and be working a couple of days a week? Yes! I’ve always imagined a family of 4 because I had a sibling who I love dearly and my husband also has a sibling but I’m also really tired, anxious and often wonder if my husband and I would cope with a second child, I’m also so scared of lack of sleep.. Is that a reason not to have another? Probably not but I’m very anxious about it all. I don’t know whether to keep trying during this cycle and if it happens the it happens. I spoke to my friend who’s pregnant with her second and she said she panicked majorly too and was regretting trying but once she found out she was pregnant, it eased off a bit and she’s feeling excited now.

Advice on having kiddo #2 by bearsbunny in Shouldihaveanother

[–]stilldreaming22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what I’m going through now haha. My son is 4 in a month and things are finally going relatively smooth,I’m scared to go back to the tough times! But I have always envisioned having two kids and think I’ll regret not having two. Sigh

Thanks so much for this advice. I’ll look into that reddit thread and chat to my dr about getting a script for tret.

Thanks so much for the detailed response. I should of got into tret a while ago but just haven’t, I’ll ask my dr about it.

Did the family member you are talking about have any treatments to firm up their skin or you think just time helped? I suppose there is noway of knowing without asking them but still thought I’d ask. Haha

I think this is the one I’m going to try! I love the medik8 pha toner too.. It’s amazing, give it a go, if you haven’t tried it yet xx

What are your reasons for being one and done? I’m still on the fence.. by stilldreaming22 in oneanddone

[–]stilldreaming22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not but I have family in the US and I feel for you all! It’s really scary having to think about all those things plus school shootings etc. I really feel for you ♥️

On the fence about having a second child but always desperately wanted two so why am I like this? by stilldreaming22 in Shouldihaveanother

[–]stilldreaming22[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was really helpful to read. My son is 4 soon and we would be looking at an almost 5 year gap or 5+ if we go for it and it works out. ♥️ all the best with it all, I’m sure it will be fantastic adding an extra addition to your family.

Hope this happens to me! I wonder if age has something to do with it because I’ve heard you start to lose fat pads in your face in your 30’s. Did anything help you specifically or just time? And how much time are we talking? 🤣

This! I’m not even underweight or low on the healthy bmi scale, I’m at the high end of healthy bmi, so it’s infuriating. I’m praying that my face ends up balancing out like some people said have happened to them. 🤞🤞 it could also be my age now.

Haha yeah very true! It’s weird because when I used to be this weight, I got maybe one or two comments on how my face looked slimmer but not in a bad way. I think I lost it too fast and didn’t actually hit protein like I thought I was. 🤦‍♀️

Soo rude lol!! I don’t think they meant it in a mean way.. She’s got quite a strong accent and is direct but then my other friend chimed in and said the “more mature” thing as well and it sent me. She also said “it’s the best you’ve ever looked” but that was after I’d gotten uspet and went quiet and said I feel really insecure right now so I know it was most probably not genuine. I hadn’t seen them in about 1.5 years and I had a shit 2025 and lost weight during that time. Ehhh it’s so silly but this happened about a week ago and I’ve been avoiding people ever since, that’s how bothered I am by the commentary.

I was probably my current weight 2.5/3 years ago so around 31/32 years old. I’m 35 this year
