I massively craved pickled beetroot straight from the jar. Found out the day after.

I could smell it. Increased sense of smell and I could actually smell the hormonal changes in my urine. Smelled like grape juice.

Sickness and heightened smell from before a positive test same with the second pregnancy

Sore nipples. Felt unusually sore more than just period soreness. Found out I was pregnant a few weeks later. I had a miscarriage a month prior so I figured my period was just irregular. Made sense when I saw the positive test.

Hugo, wanky or ok?

Hey,

I would love your help. I have my girl name but am in a pickle when it comes to a boy name we’ve chosen.

I’m Australian and my husband is Irish. The baby will be born in London, not sure where it will grow up long term but it will be one of the above.

I adore the name Hugo. My husband took some convincing but is now on board.

However! Since deciding, the reaction has been that it’s ‘upity’ ‘wanky’, ‘linen boy vibes’ and signals ‘social reaching’! I was shocked - after some research it seems in Europe it’s a pretty chill normal name, which was my interpretation, but potentially in Ireland / UK that’s not how it’s perceived.

It’s really spooked me, and totally turned my husband off.

Any help would be much appreciated - is Hugo considered a wanky name?

Should I wear the dress?

It’s my 40th birthday party on Saturday. I still have the dress I wore to my 16th birthday, so I tried it on and it fits (a bit snug).

Should I wear it to the party on Saturday?

C section massage

I am almost 8 weeks pp after having a surprise c section. I’ve been cleared to return to any and all activities for a few weeks and have seen a lot about c section massage to reduce the appearance of the shelf (which seems to be the result of internal stitches and a tiny bit of extra fat/skin left over from pregnancy) but no one has given much guidance. When can I start massaging the scar and how do I determine how much pressure/movement is appropriate? Just by how it feels or should I wait longer before starting? Thanks in advance!

Saw a ghost??

I'm a sceptical person so any perspective on this would be great, I feel like my friends and partner would not understand.

Fyi I am sleep deprived yes with an 11month old, averaging 4-6 hours of sleep a night. For the last 11 months.

But anyway here is my story.
I saw like a little girl shape in my 5 year olds room out of the corner of my eye, then when I got back into bed I opened my eyes and this like smiley exagerared face was like right there, when I blinked it was just a bunch of blankets but the face kept coming back, smiling inches from my face.

I didnt react btw to either. I also a few weeks ago saw the dame figure/shape almost on top of where my daughter was sleeping in the middle of the night. I was reading her a book to help her fall back asleep and I could not bring myself to look directly at her as I was freaked out.

I dont want to believe if it is a ghost that is is malicious, but my child has been having more nightmares the last 3 weeks or so and this all happened in this time span.

Im tempted to just politely say out loud you are welcome here but you have to be nice lol any thoughts? Have I gone nuts? Can anyone relate?
