Hiking whilst pregnant

At what point in your pregnancy did you stop doing long walks / hikes?
I'm 25 weeks, still comfortably walking for 3 or 4 hours at a time.
The past couple of days, I've had a really strong urge to do snowdon again, and now I'm set on doing before baby is here.
So I'm wondering at what point am I going to be too uncomfortable to do long walks? Do I need to do it in the next couple of weeks 🤣

You know your body best! Stop when it tells you to stop. In the meantime, enjoy 🩷🄰

Agree listen your body… I’m 36 weeks tomorrow and although not going to attempt showdown anytime soon🤣 still doing muddy walks and when I feel I can 2+ hour walks… unless advised otherwise or my body doesn’t feel good about it I’m not going to stopā˜ŗļø

Exactly what Nicole said. Honestly, i still can walk up to 10km, but not every day. On my 34-week, i went on a city break with my husband to Dublin and walked the first day 25 km and the second day 17km. Now i'm 39+1

If you really want to do it pregnant I’d suggest doing it sooner rather than later just incase pgd sets in. My hips stopped me from hiking in the 2nd half of my pregnancy but if you don’t have any issues then you can keep going for as long as you’re comfortable x

Perfect, thank you all. I think I'm going to look at going before 30 weeks, just incase!

@Lexie I hope I'm still able to walk that far at 34 weeks, that's amazing! x

Just listen to your body. I would t mind doing snowdon while pregnant . At least I can say I conquered something.

I've just come back from hiking at 32 weeks, not at my usual speed I will say... Just POV, make sure you're drinking enough water (more than you think) and having regular snacks is all I'd suggest. Your body will tell you when you've had enough and take a break. ā¤ļø

@Abby what a lovely picture šŸ˜
I love seeing how active all you beautiful mommas have stayed.

It's definitely made my mind up to stay active, and conquer snowdon again before baby comes! Thank you all ā¤ļø

I was the same as Helena, right up until a few days before! And started to do less rural walks too šŸ˜†

I was still scrambling at 6 months pregnant! I felt ok, it was slow but still did it 🤣

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (ā™„ļø vinted ā™„ļø). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of Ā£ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.


I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Advice

Hi everyone! I honestly have 0 social queues when it comes to talking to anyone in general. I definitely have a hard time talking to other women and making new friends. I can 100% relate. I just don’t like the idea of texting or meeting up but when I do I’m like ā€œoh this isn’t bad.ā€ Any advice? I also have a hard time getting comfortable and just feeling judged by other womenšŸ˜… I’m also 19 so maybe making a change in this now will help in the future making mom friends/friends in general. Thanks in advance!

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? šŸ˜…
