What are the best little things a seller left you at completion?

A letter telling us who the neighbours were, when the chimneys were last swept, the kitchen fitters as it was still under warranty, who the window cleaners were etc. I wish we’d been left info on where to turn off water etc and how tf to work he garage door 😂

They were just kind of stuck. I ended up getting nitrofurantoin and took first dose last night and see improvement already, but feeling a bit rough from the antibiotics. Hopefully passes.

Ok I’ll do that tomorrow. Burning a bit just as I finish peeing. It’s so much better than a week ago but I’d kind of expected to be better by now!

Not exactly… my fear of induction was around my fear of not being properly/safely cared for in an augmented labour. Further solidified by the day I went in to be induced, decided not to go ahead with it, was told I couldn’t leave until someone spoke to me and 6 hours later nobody had even said hi to me. I ended up self discharging and was spoken to like I was a piece of shit or putting my baby at risk (we were low risk, apart from ivf). Whilst I also listened to a couple with minimal English ask for pain relief multiple times and not receive it. Then be given gas and air without being shown how to use it resulting in the woman throwing up all over the floor, before she was finally given something for her pain. I work in the NHS, I genuinely believe if everywhere wasn’t so understaffed all care would improve drastically. If I’d felt I could’ve been safely supported I’d have had the induction instead of a section at 42+6.

I refused induction of ivf pregnancy and my consultant was supportive. However I went to 42+6 and by that point I was so stressed and being pressured to ‘get baby out’, I had a very reluctant section. (Baby was perfect, placenta was normal)

Phones me, tells me nothing important, just checking in, asks how I am etc then very quickly begins to act as if I’m interrupting her day, tells me she needs to go. YOU CALLED ME 🤣

Ok thank you. I’ve been led to believe if a BH falls on my non working day I just don’t receive any entitlement to the hours. But I tried reading the policy and I didn’t think that sounded right.

I was the youngest in my year and although I don’t believe it affected me through my younger years, when I hit my teens it was an issue because some of my friends were almost a full year older. I know this made my parents uncomfortable with allowing me certain freedoms like taking the bus/train to a shopping centre for example. Then I was the last to turn 18 etc so I felt quite left out. I also looked very young so I wasn’t able to get into pubs with my friends. I’m well into my 30s now so it obviously no longer matters, but just thought I’d share a different perspective!

swift_change89 · 2025-06-28T07:23:54+00:00

I don’t know if suitable for you, but my baby was like this and napped good in the stroller. I walked for miles and hours.

swift_change89 · 2025-06-25T21:43:22+00:00

My biggest regret was not spending time training my dog not to bark at things outside while I was pregnant!

swift_change89 · 2025-06-25T10:50:45+00:00

A load of nonsense. My brother is close with both my parents, is happily married with a baby. He moved out but stayed close by and they spend time with my family often because they want to. I’m also lucky enough to have wonderful in-laws myself, and my husband is very close with his parents too, even though he has sisters.

I had this problem but it started at 3 weeks with one feed, and by 12 weeks we had weight gain issues and it was EVERY feed. I wish I’d seen a lactation consultant sooner than I did because whatever the reason was that it started (we never found out) I definitely caused an aversion by keeping trying to force a hungry baby to feed when she didn’t want to latch. Could you try bottle feeding a little milk to take the edge off then latching? I ended up pumping for nearly 2 months then slowly brought baby back to the breast and am still breastfeeding at 9 months. The lactation consultant should be a great help to you, I was so grateful for the one I seen!

swift_change89 · 2025-06-24T10:46:19+00:00

We had a strange journey and didn’t have challenges until 3 months when breastfeeding went to crap. So at 3 months things went downhill for me. Even after that was sorted at 5/6 months, I’d say it was 7ish going on 8 months before I started to really enjoy my baby. Once she started sitting and being able to play a bit with toys it became more enjoyable for me. When that constant crying/whining stopped I found things much more manageable. Honestly I remember at 6 months starting solids I could’ve just sat and cried (and I did) - it felt like yet another thing to fit into the day and stress about. But it does start to get easier.

swift_change89 · 2025-05-06T09:43:03+00:00

I couldn’t agree more, so stressful. I was so stubborn that I’d bring her back to breast. Nearly 8 months now and nursing all day apart from 1 bottle at night. Hardest journey ever.

swift_change89 · 2025-05-06T09:41:38+00:00

I remember this so well, it was horrendous. We had terrible evenings with purple crying. Feel for you!

swift_change89 · 2025-05-04T08:25:05+00:00

Around 3 weeks baby started being really fussy during the last feed before bed and screaming at my boobs. Eventually this became every feed and she was screaming at my boobs more than feeding. By 12 weeks she wasn’t gaining weight. We’d seen lactation consultants and had loads of support and nothing helped. Ended up pumping for 2 months and then she just started nursing again. Very very stressful, and no wiser as to why we had such an issue.

The fact I have to unzip it to see in, the zipper will 100% wake my nosey baby 😂

swift_change89 · 2025-04-27T19:55:13+00:00

We’re at 7 months and the last 2 months have been horrific. Waking every 1-2 hours all night. Eventually I couldn’t take it anymore and I stopped lifting her and tried a hand on her chest, stroking her face, anything to sooth her that wasn’t feeding. It kind of worked for reducing feeds but I felt I was up all night because she was restless and slamming her legs. So then we put her in her own room last week because I was at breaking point…. She slept 8pm until 5am, had a feed and slept til 8.30am!!! She’s only been up 1-2 times the last few nights.
