Does anyone else get this? Not sure if I’m just hyper alert of my vision but I’ve noticed I get this whenever I’m in bright light (e.g driving, even looking at the ocean, bright sky) and it goes away once I go into a darker / dimmer environment or am not focusing so much on the bright light

Hi all, so I’m having problems with a car seat I ordered from Amazon I also have Amazon prime it was meant to be delivered 3 days ago and still hasn’t. It then said today but still nothing also no updates including the “our for delivery” one has updated. I contacted Amazon 2 times now requesting cancellation and a refund they reckon they have I asked for confirmation and they literally just sent a copy of the transcript of our conversation and it’s still showing on my Afterpay and Amazon account as an active order. I’m so confused and just frustrated at this point. Anyone know how long it actually takes IF they have even actually cancelled the order to atleast show in the Amazon account? In my experience if they cancel it on Afterpay it shows almost immediately I know the refund can take a few days but yeah nothing no confirmation or anything seems they are just bullshitting or something at this point.

Thanks everyone

What should I do? I purchased a car seat was
Meant to arrive on the 11th then it said 13th today is the 13th and still haven’t received anything or any updates including the “out for delivery” one. Can I cancel and request a refund?

Hey mummas, looking for recommendations from fellow Aussie mums on where they buy their maternity tights / biker shorts that are supportive of the tummy and just comfy to wear? I tried EMAMACO and that was horrific so I have no idea where to look for some decent ones that also don’t break the bank. I don’t really wanna get Kmart or big W even know it’s more budget able I just want something that is comfortable and will support my tummy being a bigger weight.

Thank you 🌸

Hey all, so I have just upgraded my toddlers car seat and we found the one we wanted on her partner ordered it on Amazon rather then the baby store as he has prime and uses it quite a lot. I just feel a little anxious are they definitely genuine seats? Like the safety standards etc are Australian and no different to getting one from the baby shop or something? I don’t know I’m just over thinking a lot, it was meant to arrive yesterday but is now expected tomorrow apparently.

Hey fellow mummas and mummas to be, I’ve been very nervous about my weight this time round I’m much heavier then my first pregnancy. My first started at 76kg and finished at 103kg this time I started at 96kg and last I checked a few weeks ago I was 105kg. This really gets to be over wall I am okay I am uncomfortable around the pelvic area and lower back but I’m just nervous how much I will weight come the time bub is born cause it’s still obviously a fair few weeks away. So far the minor complications as of presently I’ve encounter is bub is measuring slightly smaller I have my next check up scan on her growth next week and that it looks as though I have a slightly resistant uterine artery, so far I haven’t been found to have gestational diabetes or preeclampsia but I’m so nervous about all of this. Pregnancy in general is more of an anxiety hell for me rather then an exciting blissful journey lol.

I suppose just abit of a rant and I’m curious how fellow mums went getting the weight back off and if any pregnancy / birth issues came to the table with being a higher weight. My Bub will be delivered via electrive c section same as last time as this is the safest route for myself to deliver due to some neuro medical stuff (unrelated) of mine.

Hi fellow mums, so it looks as those at my last scan about 22 weeks - I am 27 weeks now as of then I had a slightly resistant uterine artery. Drs said at that time they won’t too concerned but will monitor it and if it became a problem further in the pregnancy an intervention option could be bub being delivered earlier. I am not due for my next scan until next week and have been curious I didn’t think to ask here has anyone experienced this before and what happened?

Hey all does anyone get this? Not sure if I’m just hyper alert to visual changes since getting auras but its spooks me a little and I guess just yet to find out what causes this also. When I’m in sun light/ bright environments I get this wavy glow in my vision which disappears when I go into a darker setting like inside the house or something. It doesn’t come with a headache blurriness etc just temporary when in the light. Sunglasses do help minimise it. But yeah it doesn’t affect my vision or make it hard to see etc it’s just a minor bother and causes some anxiety not knowing if it’s normal or not.

I swear this reddit family is all I have my neuro team is so hard to see unless it’s a review of my appointments. It’s 540am this is probably the shittest sleep I’ve had in a very long time I’ve been very up and down tonight I’m also pregnant 25 weeks I woke up around 3am and had an aura and now I’ve just woke again to an aura finishing. I haven’t had a back to back aura in over a year anyone ever get this? I’m lost for these auras at this point I have no idea in hell what to do I am defeated from them. Could this be from a few poor sleep tonight? I don’t even know why I’m waking up so much tonight and I know in the past occasionally if I’m getting disturbed sleep during the night it can trigger one but two I haven’t had and I wouldn’t even know who to ask from here.

Hey all, for those who take baby aspirin to help with their auras how long did you begin taking it to see a positive change in your auras if you did see a positive change in them? I was recommend it by a DR mayb a week or two ago but haven’t been consistent I only took it for day 4 days in a row then stopped cause I over thought it (I’m pregnant) and was worried so wanted to ask some more questions to my dr about it. But yeah anyway fast forward my last aura was a week ago ish and now I’m having another. Praying that this baby aspirin does work for me but I know it would likely take a few weeks of taking it everyday for you to see a change if it is to help with them.

Hey all, so I have a nearly 2 year old Catahoula x bull arab i have had him just over a year he is a very highly anxious dog / lots of separation anxiety to the point he frets even being inside and I’m just in my bedroom with my door shut (I don’t like my pets in my room). I’ve tried so damn hard and tried to narrow down why his pooping (he is toilet trained btw) I’ve changed his diet, some nights he sleeps in with my mum in her room, I control how much water he has and when for example k take his water bowl away sometime after his dinner which is about 5pm, I let him out just before bed say 10pm for a late night toilet sesh but yeah seems this is separation anxiety aside from night time or the nights he isn’t sleeping in mums room we are 99% of the time always with him so it’s not like his left alone for long periods or anything. He has been the most challenging dog i have had big breeds in my family since I was young and never thought it would be this hard. I am honestly at my wits end. This isn’t the only issue I’m having with him and yes I’m in the process of consulting a trainer but for the meantime it’s just a day to day can just feel like a nightmare nightmare.

What I’m asking is has anyone else had this issue? I’m considering if appropriate implemented correctly a crate for during the night for sleeping in the hope this makes him feel more calm and stops the pooping. Does anyone think this could be successful? I feel like the last year I have tried SO hard for this dog there’s so many issues his previous owner didn’t tell me about he was handed around / back to his owner by other people due to him being HARD work. I just need to find ways to help minimise atleast some of these issues and whilst I get some extra funds up for a trainer.

Thanks everyone !

Anyone else feeling this? This is my second pregnancy and I can’t remember if I felt this heavy sore sometimes and uncomfortable this “soon” last time. I’m fairly heavier then my last pregnancy which I know is likely playing a role tho I don’t think surely all this extra weight (9ish kg gain so far) is just fat weight gain. I’m dreading 30+ weeks i feel like I’m even showing like I’m nearly or am 30 weeks lol I feel so big in the tummy and just heavy bloated and ughhh I’m so over it. I don’t know how I worked till 38 weeks last time as a care worker, this time round I’m a SAH mum and it’s not that chaotic but it’s definitely feeling exhausting. I’m trying to also keep up intimacy with my partner and just the feeling of feeling so heavy is such a killer and just exhausting.

Anyone else feeling this? I know this might sound like a silly question but my gawsh to think I still have another 16 weeks of whatever 🫩

Hey all, so I’ve just now been suggested after over a year of having these damn things with no really initial cause to them to be recommended BABY ASPIRIN! Took me to fall pregnant(second bub) for a dr who I see for a pregnancy check up to recommend this. So I’ve just started taking it today and I’m nervous but excited and praying this will help them. I didn’t get them in my first pregnancy and they’ve been abit off / irregular now I’m pregnant and was getting them before falling pregnant with this bub. I would love to know others experiences did it help / work? I know if it even does it likely won’t completely take them away I mean that would be a dream they scare the 💩 out of me but to even minimise them a little would be amazing.

Hey all, so I’ve just hit 24 weeks and I’ve gained about 9kg I’m worried this isn’t a steady gain with my first bubby I started at 76kg and I was 103kg by the end of the pregnancy. This time I started 96ish and and now 105kg and it’s stressing me out lol

What’s everyone else’s experience? I’m so over pregnancy 🥲

Hey all, so I first started getting auras about a year ago now they would usually come upon waking in the morning or maybe around midday if light triggered it. Since been pregnant however they are mostly coming during the night now? Where as it was more rare I got them during the night before where they would literally pop up in your dream and you would wake up during the night with it. Has anyone else experienced this change? Not necessarily in how long they last but when they come? They continue to absolutely scare the shit out of me, I had MRIs etc a while ago and all was clear, I have a pre exisiting medical history stuff to do with my brain but neuros said they weren’t concerned and don’t think anything with that is linked to the auras so honestly I’ve never known what’s caused them maybe apart from stress or dehydration, the only thing I can think of is I was taking that weightless injection over a year ago and stopped a few months maybe 1-2 prior to the auras becoming a thing so always wondered if that was the birth of them 🥲

Basically what the title says 🤍

Hey mummas, so I’m pregnant with my second bub and my first was via a c section as recommended at the time due to my medical history (stable brain tumour that 10 years ago caused a spinal and head injury all recovered thankfully but yeah resulting in a shunt / drain being placed in the brain as tumour is inoperable for those curious)

So to the point first bub via c section medically recommended for me and bub at the time, I wanted to try for a natural this time round but I think drs are leaning toward c section may be my safest mode of delivery just to eliminate any risks, I asked if VBAC was safe but yeah seems c section could possibly be the higher recommended mode of delivery whenever I am to have a baby. This makes me very anxious as even know all went thankfully well the first time during the c section is caused me a load of anxiety as I think I mentally went into shock when it was happening I was completely disassociated from the moment and I fear this will happen again, I also worry my tummy will be just a wreck if I am to have multiple c sections as I definitely do want more then 2 babies. My QUESTION is have any women here had more then two / multiple c sections? What was their experience where you able to work on your tummy during and after pregnancy to help repair it? I’m also just worried as I’m at a higher weight this time than I was my first.

Thank you to anyone who shares their experiences 🌸

Hey everyone, I’m currently pregnant 22 ish weeks with my second bubby recently had the anatomy scan all looks really healthy but they mentioned her head is measuring smaller so I’m to have a follow up ultrasound in 2 weeks and that will determine I’m pretty sure she said if a fetal mri with be needed or not, apart from this she is happy and not concerned. However I am freaking the hell out. I am absolutely so grateful for the positive results I do have, my first baby is a healthy little gal however this feels a little traumatic to me even know she’s great when I was pregnant with her they found a liver haemangioma which thankfully was benign and caused her no problems and is now basically cleared up but the fear, anxiety etc experienced through that I just feel like I’m back here again. I have done everything right to the best of my ability in both pregnancies so receiving these results is defeating, daunting, makes me feel like my body is nearly a failure but I feel selfish saying that also as again I am so very very grateful for what I have and being able to conceive and carry etc 1000%. I am just so scared, even know she’s “not concerned” and apart from her head measuring smaller and just trying to wait to compare measurements in the next scan etc the rest of her appears structurally healthy etc I can’t stop thinking about it whilst we wait.

Has any experienced this with their bub before? I’m honestly at a point I’ve never really been one to enjoy pregnancy but this is just really turning me away from ever wanting to do it again. I want more babies in the future but for god sake how are you meant to enjoy pregnancy when the anatomy scans to me now are just terrifying.

Thanks everyone I would be so grateful to anyone who is happy to share any similar experiences etc 🌸
