Dr Martens sandals squeak

I bought myself new dr martens sandals, model blaire. This is my second pair, I returned first ones because they were squeaking when I walk, and now I have the same issue with second pair, although it is much less noticeable now, and only on left one. Is that normal, do they just need to break in and it will go away? Is there anything I can do to make it go away. Any advice and experience welcome :) tnx

I don’t have docs but I’ve always squeaked in my Nikes. Never wears away. Some shoes just make noise I think

@Sarah I find it very annoying 🙈🙈 And I really like them, I don't want to return them either🫠

I’ve got a few pairs of doc and have them all for a few years, even my oldest pair still squeak now 😂I think it’s just something that comes with the shoes.
Anything that’s leather always comes squeaky because it’s not worn in.

I have them but not shiny and they don’t squeak , could be the material

I have them and I found that using stretching spray helped with my squeak (I work for Schuh so any other shoe related questions fire them my way 🤣)

@Amy Rebecca where did you spray it? This is coming from inside the sole... at the front.

I just sprayed the entire thing, in the sole and on the straps

It’ll go away when they break in, if they want to break in.. also you got the patent. Patents a squeaker.

Sounds daft, leave them in rain for an hour. It’ll ‘relax’ them a little. Then wear socks in the house with them. I have these obese in leather.. still trying to break them in.

Any guesses?

I just had my 12 week scan today! Any fun guesses on the gender using the nub theory? 🥰

Emergency scan

Hi! I went to triage on Saturday night for reduced movement as I hadn’t felt baby all day. I was checked over with Doppler etc and sent on my way - midwife said everything was great.

I’ve just been called by the hospital that I’m booked in for an emergency scan and it’s just taken me by surprise. Has anyone else experienced this?

How does everyone do it

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have a 3 year old and I can’t even get out of bed without being sick, can’t even stand for longer than 2 minutes, my toddler is basically living on snacks as I can’t get out of bed to cook, I can’t even take him to nursery I feel terrible, I’m only 8 weeks and have so much longer to go 😭

Early labour?

Im really unsure if what I’m having is the start of labour or just digestive pains? I’ve been getting sharp/crampy pains across my abdomen and back which come and go every 10/15 mins, not really typical period like pains yet but they are very noticeable. I feel like it’s been getting more painful since this morning, but at the same time I’m having diarrhoea and nausea. The only difference I’ve noticed is the pain is not going away after going to the toilet or position changes. I’m going to call triage but I thought to wait and see a few more hours. BTW I’m 37 weeks

Help please!

i have a c section booked for 5 week today, but i have this massive fear that im going to bleed out. i don’t know why because i get the odds aren’t that high but im like so sure its going to go wrong and i will end up bleeding out and not being here to watch my son grow up, did anyone else feel like this and does anyone have any advice?

Birth plan

Debating between natural birth vs C section.
Labour lengths, recovery times afterwards, control involved in a c section, pregnancy again after c sections.. give me your experiences/opinions. 😊
(Also, if the hospital was 1.5 hours away would that affect your decision)
