To ask for facts. Having a miscarriage - give me fun facts and a handhold please

Hope you're OK OP.

Richard Gere's middle name is Tiffany.

that sounds too heavy - if they are heavy flow pads, get yourself to a GP or phone 111 for an emergency appt.

You don't want to sit on a hard chair in A&E for 14 hours on a friday night while going through this

I learned this morning that until 1840 Bristol had its own timezone

No its not normal.

Please go and get yourself seen.

Not at ALL helpful when someone is current miscarrying...

I've been there too. In fact, my username originates from leaving marks on the paper covering the scanning couch 19 years ago.

I found out yesterday that bindweed grows/climbs anti-clockwise.

I'm sorry for your loss @Chez2306, I lost my first pregnancy many years ago and still think of the baby that might have been sometimes.
Fun fact (weird fact actually!) babies are born with full sized eyeballs which gives them the appealing "wide eyes" look that makes us go gaga 😉

I’d get to the EPU or at least call them based on your update. I’m so sorry, I’ve also been there and it’s fucking nightmareish and bleeding so scary.

My fact is that everyone gets asparagus wee but only some people can smell it.

But I’m now worrying about you and you really need proper advice. Can I ask how far along you are? The longer the more that has to pass and it can get stuck and cause mad bleeding and pain. Please call someone.

The Michelin Guide was invented as a marketing tool to sell tyres.

1930's (I think) France - Michelin Tyres see low sales as most people only use cars for very short trips (to the theatre etc, and ownership is low/by the very wealthy).

They created the Michelin Guide to encourage people to do more mileage, and subsequently need new tyres.

1 star = a restaurant worth a stop on your planned route.
2 stars = a restaurant worth a detour
3 stars = a restaurant worthy of a dedicated trip

Or something like that..

This too shall pass.

Much love to you OP.

A group of flamingos is called a Flamboyance

Movie fact! The real life age difference between Regina George (Rachel McAdams) and her mum (Amy Poehler) is only 7 years. Actors ages always blow my mind.

'Come On Eileen' speeds up at the end because they were running out of tape and wanted to fit the whole song in!

The barnacle has the largest penis to body size ratio.

The view from window of Monica and Chandler's new house when they move at the end of Friends, is the same view as from the window of the McCallister's house in Home Alone. They just grabbed some stock footage they had lying about when they cut the final episodes of Friends, which happened to have been filmed originally for Home Alone.

What is Microchimerism?
During pregnancy, foetal cells cross the placenta and enter the mother’s/pregnant person’s body, where they can remain for decades – sometimes forever. Similarly, maternal cells can enter the foetus, creating a permanent biological connection between a mother and her lost baby.These cells can settle in various places – including the brain, and aptly – the heart.

As Myleene points out, microchimerism offers a quietly powerful reminder that the connection between mother/birthing parent and child can live on at the cellular level. Through microchimerism, science affirms what many of us already feel: that our lost babies, however briefly with us, remain part of us. They leave a biological imprint – not simply a memory – but a presence, which can be lifelong.

While this knowledge doesn’t erase the grief, it offers a new way to understand the depth of the connection between parent and child. It provides scientific validation that your baby’s existence was real. That they made their mark, and part of them is still with you.

A comforting fact from the Miscarriage Association that helped me. 💐

Cities that end in -chester or -cester are built on Roman fortified camps or towns 🙂

The ink used in seppia pictures comes from the cuttlefish. Seppia is the Italian word for cuttlefish

Erm ahem um…
Darn it. Can’t think of a single solitary interesting fact. Less unfamiliar fact- menopausal women with fibromyalgia have issues accessing their own brain contents.

Our bodies aren't aware of our eyes, and if they were the body's immune system would attack them! 😲

The joke in The Simpson's about Mr Burns being so old that he answers the phone with "ahoy hoy"

On a similar note, there were wild wallabies in the peak district that had escaped from a zoo

Dogs use up more energy sniffing than running. Apparently ! 🤔😀

Apparently the paste inside Kit Kats is made of squished-up broken Kit Kats that can’t be sold

In some years, boxing day occurs before Christmas day (well, sort of).

If a bank holiday would otherwise occur on a non-working day it gets moved to the next available working day. Therefore, when 25th December falls on a Sunday, the Christmas day bank holiday gets moved to Tuesday 27th because Monday 26th is already a non-working day due to being the boxing day bank holiday. Therefore in years when 25th December falls on a Sunday, boxing day (techincally) occurs before Christmas day.
