Mother of five boys did #AD 4 in less and 18 days. In stories only though so easy to miss. Think Hungermama went up to 28k with the drama but she's also dropped back down to 27k.

I think with the first it’s easier to take it mega steady but when you have the second or more that’s impossible. I thankfully had two very straightforward natural births. I remember within week 2 of having the second baby, we were visiting our local country park and I was jumping on the big bouncy cushion with my then 3yr old 😳😳😳 i did spin realise bouncing with weak pelvis might not be a good idea, but I just wanted to make a fuss of my eldest after not being as active with her. I think it all depends on how your birth was and how you feel. You can not make a blanket rule to cut off for two weeks it’s not realistic.

@rainbowlemon sorry, I’ve tried to reply twice to your vegetable growing comment but it keeps going weird 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or I just can’t use the site properly 😬 Was going to say what I meant earlier was that I’d have to give up my job to have enough time to keep up with both this thread and the FOD one! But your growing produce suggestion was a good one! 😆 We’ve just started growing tomatoes and they’re looking really good! 😊 🍅

Ah that makes sense hun.

I hope they come out okay. You might need a frame to support them later. My grandmother used bamboo sticks and would tie the stalk with cloth to the frame. Ginger and mint is also super easy to grow. My mum just chucked them into the soil and they grew themselves.

Oh I've never thought to grow ginger - is there a specific time of year to start growing it? I have a mint plant, albeit potted separately from my other herbs as I read it can run rampant sometimes - not sure how true that is but it's definitely hardy as it keeps coming back really well.

It was a bit funny first thing this morning but think that was more likely my wifi as the threenager had been switching the network extender on and off!

I'm kinda confused. I reported a photo and got the first message on the left. I clicked on the bit that said "think we've made a mistake". Got the second update today. It say's MY photo was removed but the image I reported was still online unless I'm confusing who I've reported- or read it wrong.😅 None of my pictures are missing.

I think as long as it's sunny! She planted hers in march. We had lots of mint everywhere and it did at times look like a weed! If you're into basil there's also lots of propagation videos too.

@rainbowlemon bloody hell, I can’t get the hang of replying to your posts, I keep cocking it up 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyway, yes the bamboo is a good idea, that’s what we’ve done although the plants are getting reaaallllly tall now so will have to move them. Also growing cucumbers, peppers and got pears and cherries on our trees 😊

Woah that's practically plant porn- you need to put a warning on it! I'm glad things are growing well. You have a lovely garden BTW! There's also a few urban gardens I love that manage to get huge harvests without extensive up keep- maybe 4 hours a week .

I also love plant shelves ad you can grown more stuff in the same amount of space.

I have no idea what this thread is about and I didn’t read though it but just wanted to point out when scrolling Tattle I thought it was called “the clit chat thread” 🙃

Does anyone know why Meldrum deleted her SM ? her threads gone ..(We were discussing it on another thread but noone knows what happened).
 
For about a week every month I struggle to sleep. I’m pretty sure it’s hormonal, pms symptom maybe. I’m wide awake at nearly 4am and every time I close my eyes, my brain goes into over drive thinking of any possible thing to cause anxiety and my usual tactics to block them out and divert my thoughts don’t work and I also feel fidgety and like my bed is super uncomfortable. I have to literally force myself to stay still enough to drop off. I do often get to sleep, eventually but I’m not sure if there’s even any point in trying at this point. Does anyone else get this?? I googled and it does seem to be a thing and not something that’s in my head. A lot of people get fatigue during pms but not being able to sleep/insomnia isn’t talked about it as much it seems. I know it’ll catch up with me tomorrow, hence why I usually force myself to bed. But with the lockdown im kinda thinking what’s the point I don’t even have anywhere to go tomorrow, although it is my turn to get up with the children. But again, my dilemma is would it be easier to sleep for a couple of hours and wake up with them or just stay awake?

Ugh, sorry for the ramble. Whether I get a measly few hours sleep or not, tomorrow is going to be a long day.
This happens to me! Its horrendous 🙁
