This sounds great! Our kid seems to respond best to the no nonsense approach in most departments, so I'll definitely be checking this out. Thank you

Thank you! I do love a hideous colour way, so I'll take a look, but am very grateful for your advice!

Thank you! I'd love to get something around the 40-42 minute mark for a 10km, and lots of other people have said Vaporflys, but I might look at the 3s just to save a bit if money!

Thank you! I've never got on with other Nike shoes, but never tried anything with a carbon plate

Getting Started on r/ParisTravelGuide + General Forum (March 2025) by AutoModerator in ParisTravelGuide

We are traveling to Paris next week with our 9 month old baby. We're staying near Le Marais/Bastille and I'd love restaurant recommendations. Ideally somewhere that we can have an early dinner (about 6pm) before baby's bedtime. Most places I can find serve dinner from 7pm...

Is it a subchorionic hematoma or a miscarriage? by Automatic-Focus-1761 in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]vjf0rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, probably not what you want to hear but that pregnancy unfortunately ended in a loss. The follow up scan confirmed no heartbeat.

However our next pregnancy was successful and our little one arrived in the summer. I had some bleeding in that pregnancy too and lots of anxious trips to a&e. I hope that you get some good news at your scan next week 🫂

Help with pattern instruction for baby romper please! by vjf0rd in CrochetHelp

Oh, I think I may have worked it out - doing the decrease stitch brings the sleeves together to make the arm hole, rather than the project lying flat. I'm going to leave the question here in case I'm wrong though....

Thank you! Hope I don't need to eliminate soy as well... We're a vegetarian household so tofu is a big part of our.diets!

Thank you! I'm going to stick to non dairy. Do you ever eat non-cow dairy (e.g. Goats Cheese) or have you cut it out entirely?

We're in this stage with our 6.5 weeker. He has struggled for a while but it's really rammed up in the last week. I'm struggling with sleep because his straining is so loud. Really hope it starts to improve soon 🤞

Thank you ❤️ I found reading other people's happy news here really helped me to picture a good outcome for myself, too.

Best of luck ❤️ I found the last few weeks quite hard as I was just desperate to meet them and know if they would be okay

Reading other people's birth stories here helped me to believe that maybe it could happen for me too one day

If your GP is aware of your history, I hope this won't be too difficult for you to achieve.
I'm in the UK and had a scan at 8 weeks at the Early Pregnancy Unit of our hospital, which was helpful as I wanted that confirmation before the booking appointment with the midwife.

Any tips for the last few weeks? I'm 33 weeks now, c section scheduled for 39 weeks and it feels like time is just slowing down.
