Weddings

Does anyone regret spending ££££ on their wedding?? We are currently pricing up our wedding and the budget is getting blown out the water 🤯 I want to see if it’s worth it or if people regret spending as much as they did

My only advice is don’t restrict the things that matter most to you and your soon to be husband!

I don’t think it’s worth being tight on things like a photographer, your dream venue (if it’s special to you and doesn’t just look good etc). I also found wedding favours could get quite expensive and can be quite forgetful. X

Sort of the opposite, but my husband and I went for cheap and cheerful and we have ZERO regrets.

Our day was perfect, and it was us.

I would say maybe decide what’s important to you. Some people see it as you only do it once, it’s the best day of your life, make it perfect and enjoy it. For us, we just didn’t want the big fancy day and something more low key just suited us more.

My brother in law and sister in law got married in registry office and then just paid for a meal afterwards for their guests, so you can do it honestly however you want it - that’s the most important thing. Do what you want to do, not what you ‘should’ do x

Does this scan look normal?

8 weeks today. Private scan. Healthy heartbeat and sonographer noted no concerns. I’ve worried myself that the babies head isn’t forming properly😩

Woke up to This ladies!!!!

I had some eye twitching and was feeling exhausted 😴 and overly tired these past couple days followed by nausea something told me to take this test top of the morning Ladies 💥

What to pack for postpartum & the hospital?

Hey girls, new mum to be here 😅! Idk what else to pack for hospital or what else i’d need for hospital? I’m trying to be minimalistic and just bring what I actually need! I don’t live far from the hospital.
If anyone has done this before please let me know what you think and fill me in with your must have products 🩷🤗

Braxton hicks??

Am I getting Braxton hicks or is this just new symptoms you deal with in the 3rd trimester.

I have a lot of pain in my bum bone ( forgot what it's called) it's like someone has hit it with a hammer and it's bruised. It comes and goes but is mostly there.

My belly will get tight all around then go back to being squishy. Then I keep getting this pain in the entrance to my v. Which will take my breath away. But again comes and goes. I'm 31 weeks. Ftm should I call the docs or is this normal ( I don't want to waste the docs time )

Big baby?

Hi, has anyone had a similar experience to me?

I’ve been told my baby is on the bigger side. They were not worried about all measurements, but at 39 weeks his abdominal circumference (belly) is measuring on the 97th centile. They said they would recommend either induction or a C-section while his growth isn’t too excessive. His estimated overall growth is on the 86.6th centile, so he’s bigger than average but not considered extremely large he is 3,775g which was 38+5

I’m exactly 39 weeks tomorrow and will be seeing a consultant to discuss it. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What did you decide to do, and how big was your baby (centile and birth weight)? Was it just the baby’s belly measuring large, or was the whole baby measuring big?

Also, does anyone know why only his belly would be measuring large while the rest of him isn’t?

Pains

Currently 36 weeks+5 with my first. Was still working today but have had to come home due to really sore back pains (paracetamol not touching it) but now have cramping higher up at the front! Think I'll phone triage again but just wondering if anyone else experienced this and if I should be concerned or not! Back pain seems to be getting worse/duller!
