Hey all, about 2 or so months ago I was recommended baby aspirin daily for my visual auras and since then I haven’t had any surprisingly I was also suggested it as I’m pregnant with my second but I only started getting auras a little over a year ago so they where not pregnancy related. My question is how was everyone else experience who has taken baby aspirin to help their auras? I’m really nervous if I stop taking it they will definitely come back. I think one of the drs have said it’s safe to take long term but I mean if where talking as a nearly permanent thing to keep clear of the auras I’m nervous is this dangerous?

Hey all I’m really hoping this post gets looked at I’m so lost and really just need some advice without judgement.

So my partner at I have been together nearly 7 years we have 1 toddler and I’m having our second baby in the coming weeks, our biggest struggles are communication and partner has had struggles consisting of porn which in the past lead to dating apps, web cams etc sort of thing. He never physically cheated thought it made it no easier it was just as devastating. Last year we officially broke up he moved out etc, he eventually after a month or so reached out and wanted to work on things fast forward we got therapy lived apart for a little and things had their tough days but we pulled through and found better versions of our selves and the relationship. He had a few slip ups (visiting porn only) but remained transparent with me, communicate with me about ways I could support him and we found healthy alternatives that both he was happy and I was comfortable with and I managed to also rebuild my trust toward him. For over 6 months he hasn’t visited porn and things have been great in that regard. Aside from this also his a beautiful guy and a great dad, I genuinely love and care for him deeply.

Things during the pregnancy have been tough family and work stress pregnancy exhaustion etc so arguments are had etc, however the other day we had quite a heated argument it was honestly kind of silly (I was worrying about being late a check up, we had a house inspection the same day etc it just got past us voices where raised and what not we both upset it other quite abit in the end) anyhow he went and visited porn. I am completely devastated, confused and feel like everything we have worked on together my trust etc has been completely reset and I don’t know why To do from here moving forward. Basically I either have to put this behind me which makes me feel like a fool he KNEW how damaging over the years porn became so once we got back together it was our family, the relationship or porn full stop. Or I leave my family breaks apart which the thought of that again just breaks me. If I go ahead and stay I fear what stops him another time? How do I even feel emotionally safe again when he did the one thing that he knew absolutely cut me deep out of frustration? I’ve tried to have a conversation with him but this has never been his strong suit and I know his feeling shame to a degree and likely trying to avoid the situation. I am not trying to antagonise him by any means but I simply can’t just put this under the rug and be all happy and fine about it.

I think this just hurts so because it hasn’t been apart of our relationship so for so long, we’ve worked so hard and found again healthy alternatives that work for both of us and I am pregnant and struggling to accept a body that’s feels so foreign to me right now and he went ahead and did the very one thing rather then anything else.

I would appreciate no judgment in this I know “porn” is a controversial topic in this world and everyone sees it differently. I once thought it was harmless in a relationship until I experienced the damage it causes a woman and a the trust of a relationship. I truly would just be so grateful for some advice, I have no one really to talk to about this.

Thank you all

I am at such a loss 🥲 my girl is nearly 3 and has been going believe my words PERFECT at day care she wears her “big girl undies” goes to the toilet like an angel hasn’t even had an accident at daycare but absolutely REFUSES to even try at home and has had multiple accidents (i know this is totally normally to happen) but she will hold it for hours and hours until she’s physically uncomfortable and wet herself in the floor. We have tried everything changing the toilet set up, the undies, our approach, rewards the list goes on and she just still straight up refuses at home. What on earth do I do? I’m on the urge to go back to nappies even if it’s 1-2 a day but even still she is now confused when wearing a nappy during the day?! I’m so lost and exhausted.

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 🥲
