Catching up with TTC #1, thread 8!

[MrsEG]

Getting a new one started before we are full! I’ll go back now and add people - answering everyone’s last posts here!!

@MrsR16 Nesting sounds like a good idea! Our house is such a mess at the moment mid-decorating and I cant wait for it all to be done so I can tidy!!

@BabySquid Fabulous bump! Glad you had such a brilliant time. I’m starting to think that pain sleeping is all just part and parcel of being pregnant now! At my yoga class everyone complains of it!

@Tropicana1 I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about!

@purplefig Yeah it was amazing to hear! Apparently IVF twins are more likely to be small but she never explained why. But yeah, induction is less likely for growth - it could still be needed for other reasons but it’s nice to have one of them off the list! How are you feeling, sleeping any better?

@ELW85 I did sleep a little bit better! I still woke up about 4:30 but slept all the way from 10 til then which is amazing! I feel like I’m slowly getting used to just being tired now! Glad you managed a better sleep!

@PippaPug Glad you got the radiator sorted! Yeah I’m amazed at how care changes from place to place but I think the main thing is as long as someone is seeing us at least once a month then that’s great!! How have you been feeling? I’m 24+4 today and really starting to feel uncomfortable now. My bump measured approx 32 weeks yesterday!! 32!!! She thinks they must be lying all at the front.

@cupcakesandglitter From doing some googling I think at the 28 week appt they’ll more start telling me what I can and can’t do in the birth - like start laying out all of my options? So I’m not gonna worry too much and wait to see what they say! My only ‘preference’ is everyone arrives happy and healthy and all are safe and well! I love the bong haha - how are you feeling today?

P.S. I meant to ask in my last post - has anyone tried a perineal massage? There's some good research for it, especially for first time mums. More info here: evidencebasedbirth.com/what-is-the-evidence-for-perineal-massage-during-pregnancy-to-prevent-tears/

Anyway, as I'm now over the 34 week mark I decided to give it a whirl last night. It's not the nicest sensation in the world, but I'm going to try and stick to it. If you're interested, there's a great instructive video taught by two midwives here: .

Cross post!

@MrsEG while I'm sure everything will be fine, given what you've read and how you're feeling I think it's well worth a call to the hospital (who will hopefully be able to reassure you). Wednesday isn't far away, but if you have an anxiety spiral it's a bloody long wait. Big hugs, it's a bloody mind bender this pregnancy I tell you! Let us know how you get on.

Yeah they deffo won't be dropping in every day for a month - so I'll just get DH to reiterate that we really will be playing things by ear and they'll just have to go with the flow. I remember your in-laws asking if they could stay with you 2 weeks after - just nightmarish! I've got a strict 0 house guest policy in place for a quite a while x

@purplefig Perineal massage was discussed at our NCT! Our teacher was a bit 🤷‍♀️ about it as she said the research is still very new, and that there are other factors much more beneficial for reducing tearing (like a strong pelvic floor, and gradually birthing the head). She said something like ‘nothing will stop a tear if it’s going to happen’ kinda thing - but she did say as a doula she thought even just the psychological aspect was beneficial and that mothers birthing who thought ‘it’s okay I’ve done my massage, I’ve got this!’ seemed happier and calmer pushing etc. If that makes sense! I haven’t looked in to it any more as my chances of vaginal birth are so small but I think there’s absolutely no harm in trying.
I am going to call DH in a bit and see what he thinks. I hate Google I really do; I’m so mad at myself for searching it. I just don’t want it playing on my mind!

@MrsEG it's so hard to resist the lure of google, but I agree with you that it can be a total nightmare for sanity levels. Good idea to call DH and chat it through with him. But honestly, if it's still playing on your mind I really would ring the hospital. It'll only take a short amount of their time and their reassurance will make a world of difference.

That's interesting about your NCT teacher; weirdly, my very hippy dippy teacher didn't mention it at all! I think there's some pretty good evidence for it, from what I've read at least. I'm particularly compelled to give it a whirl after reading through the 2013 Cochrane Systematic Review:

"The review of four trials (2497 women) showed that perineal massage, undertaken by the woman or her partner (for as little as once or twice a week from 35 weeks), reduced the likelihood of perineal trauma (mainly episiotomies) and ongoing perineal pain. The impact was clear for women who had not given birth vaginally before, but was less clear for women who had. Women should be informed about the benefits of digital antenatal perineal massage."

(www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD005123.pub3/full)

Even if it doesn't stop tearing, something the midwives in that video say is that it can be useful psychologically to just get used to the sensation of stretching in that area, ahead of birth.

Can you tell I'm procrastinating from work today?!

@MrsEG I'd definitely give the hospital a call. Googling can be a minefield but once you've read something, it's hard to forget it so best to get some reassurance from the hospital. It's what they're there for. Good luck! I'm sure everything will be fine 💛 Our dog is 2. She's very sweet.

@purplefig someone recommended this aniball thing which is not so much a massage but is suppose to help prevent tears. aniball.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrMW13qva5gIVg7HtCh0xjgE4EAAYASAAEgKNaDBwE
I read that 'how to have a baby and push it out' and she recommends perineal massage in there. Probs can't hurt to give it a go! (I too have had way to much procrastination time on my hands!)
Also - great that you partner is going to speak to his parents and set boundaries!

@ELW85 Oh god, we discussed getting another puppy, luckily I got pregnant first - a new puppy and a baby might have been a bit too much! We're looking forward to our dog meeting the baby though - too cute.

@MrsH497 Hope you're bath and early night sorted you out and you're less exhausted today!

I'm spending my Friday tidying the house. We still seem to be living in chaos after hosting everyone at Christmas/ new year. Feels good to get it all a bit sorted!

@purplefig I love the idea of your NCT teacher - in my mind she’s like a sitcom character!! Yeah she definitely stressed that psychologically there are great benefits. There doesn’t seem to be any harm in it at all! Ha, procrastinate away - you’re on that final countdown now!!

@purplefig @Larrydavid Thanks both - you’re absolutely right, once you’ve read something scary you think of nothing else! I called hospital and they were lovely - they are going to get a doctor to have a look at the numbers and call me back today. I feel a lot better for it!

@larrydavid Ah she is so cute. Still in that fun pup stage too! Our dog is 4 now and has started slowing down; he spends a huge portion of the day these days just sleeping! So nice to think that our babies will have an immediate furry best friend though :) Enjoy all the tidying!

@Larrydavid initially it did then got woken up early by mum calling me saying my grandpa had been taken into hospital so I've had better days. We are still waiting to find out what's wrong/happened. Same routine tonight dinner bath and bed!

Hope everyone is doing ok

@mrsr16 Awww 🥺😭

@elw85 glad you enjoyed your break 😊 oh god isn't it horrible being in!! Glad everything is okay though - If they didn't say anything I'd take that as a good sign - did they mark it on a chart in your notes by any chance?

@MrsEG definitely a wise decision, we were stuck outside of Deansgate car park for nearly two hours!! Awful 😭 glad both babies are okay - don't regret going in, although we can never be too sure it's much better than risking it and worrying at home instead... how exciting that next week you're talking about actually having them out!!! How amazing! Are you excited? 😊

@purplefig glad it's not just me!! She doesn't kick as much, it's just rolling and spinning around 😂🙄 ooh that sounds good!! I'm not veggie but don't tend to eat meat home, I'm thinking about cooking a load of veggie lasagnes 😂🤤 also I'm with you on the boundary situation!! My mum has assumed she'll be in the room with me when I give birth, ive not yet bought it up to say no but will do nearer the time. She also asked if I'm moving back "home" as in to her house, my home is my house!! No way in hell. I really don't want to be overcrowded or uncomfortable at all!

Ahh @larrydavid that's going fast!! In my area they don't listen until 24 weeks 😞 hope you've managed to get some sleep?

Nursery is so very close to being finished!! I'm just waiting on a few more things to arrive and then I'll share pictures 😊

Hope everything's okay @mrsh497 xxx

@Larrydavid it's funny you mention that aniball contraption, the midwives actually talk about it in the video I linked to above! They aren't a fan in that it's expensive and the research is very limited. Apparently they're super popular in Australia though! I'm with you on getting the house sorted - it's so nice to have a fresh, clean house for the New Year. I've started making a list of some of the bigger jobs I'd like to get done before bambino arrives too...we'll see how much I actually get around to

@MrsEG yeah she is a bit of a yoga/NCT teacher hybrid parody! Glad you called the hospital, hope they get back soon and can put you at ease.

@MrsH497 sorry to hear about your grandpa, I hope everything is OK.

@cupcakesandglitter Oooo a lasagna is a great shout - you can pick up those big foil dishes in places like poundland too which would be ideal for just chucking in the oven. Oh dear - your mum deffo needs a lesson in boundaries I can't think of much worse than going to live in another house postpartum. Well done on getting the nursery nearly finished, that must feel great.

@larrydavid @purplefig I've seen loads of adds for the Anibal - someone I follow on insta said she's trying olive oil on a pad to prevent tearing. Not sure if I'm going to try anything but I guess it can't hurt!!

@purplefig definitely, I'm only pushing to get it finished because my bedroom needs doing before the baby is here. And the kitchen 😅 that's what I was thinking of doing! I made two lasagnes a couple of days ago, with the thought to freeze one but ended up being hungrier than I thought 😂 I like ellas kitchen for recipes, she's got loads of vids on YouTube - I made a lentil and coconut something stew and that was amazing. Definitely worth checking out!

@cupcakesandglitter - that’s a really lovely way of thinking about them, it’s just that they look so raw and horrid and people keep telling me they only had one stretch mark with quads - isn’t helping me!!!

@MrsR16 - Ethan is such a poppet! How are you finding motherhood?
No DH’s really don’t know what to say do they?! Sometimes I do feel sorry for them as pregnancy/labour/birth is all about the mother and baby and sometimes they need someone to check in on them too - I’m trying to remember this for DH that sometimes I’m a bit overwhelmed or panicked he may be too.

@ELW85 - how are you and your little one getting on? I know - and I would agree with you, but the way I felt and was treated was horrid and feel like I was a child again....But I’m trying to remember at the end of the day these are my babies and if I’m worried about them, then so be it I will get checked out no matter what they think or say to me.

@MrsEG - I’m very jealous of your one stretch mark - I have about 20 now 😭 didn’t the hospital call you back since your last message? I’m sure everything is fine but like the others have said it’s better to put your mind at ease and Wednesday is a long way if your stressing about it all!

@Purplefig - no I understand what you were saying and yes it helped, Our bodies are amazing at what they are doing and I need to try and accept it more, it’s just hard going!
Have you had any more thoughts about PIL? I would strongly advise you to put some boundaries in saying yes that’s great but I need time with the baby to get to grips with bf (if your planning on doing that) or catching up on sleep and recovering...be strong to start with and they shouldn’t try and change your mind - if something doesn’t work for you, say it and don’t change your mind.

@Larrydavid - I’m trying to change my mind set - I’m talking to bump and massaging bio oil (which is doing nothing 🙄😂) but trying to accept these changes positively.
How are you getting on with your pregnancy pillow?

I had my extra scan yesterday at 30 weeks plus 5....Both babies were breech 🙄 but I’m still holding on to Pip turning! We shall see though. Pip is 4lbs 2oz and Pop 3lbs 13 so have both put on over 2lbs each in 6 weeks!
Slight issue with Pip - they have noticed that he has a slightly dilated renal pelvis - they will be a prenatal alert in my notes and when Pips born they will just check that out, but nothing currently to worry about, has anyone else has this?
Apart from that - babies are doing very well! I on the other hand not as well, I’m joining MrsEG for PGP 😭 and my goodness it’s agony! Hats off to you for having it so long, don’t know how you have coped, it’s so painful and only realised that I had it all over Christmas and it wasn’t getting better. I have a physio apt on Monday so hopefully they can suggest a few things.
Also I went to hospital around 16 weeks with pain in my stomach - thinking it was the babies, it was a small fibroid - unfortunately with twin hormones I have two one at 6.5cm and one at 3.5cm and with another potential 8 weeks of growing it may get up to over 10cm which can cause extra blood loss and may need potential blood transfusion if I have a c section 🤨 I’m feeling a bit weird about it all - considering I wanted a non medicalised birth it feels a bit overwhelming. I had a chat with the midwife (and cried twice 🙈) because everything I was asking for isn’t possible - can’t have a water birth or use water for pain relief as they don’t have the specialised equipment needed for twins for that - can’t be on the midwife led unit must be with the consultants, so no birthing ball etc, when I have a induction I have to stay at the hospital, singletons can go home, if I try for a natural birth they want me to have a Canula in ready for a c section, they also prefer to give me a epidural so if I need a c section they can just top it up.....I know it comes across like me being a spoilt brat and generally there are reasons for some of it, however some of the info feels like they prefer to give me a c section - and I really wanted to try for natural. I know what will he will be but I’m feeling a lot of my choices have been taken away purely because of “twins” and just feel a bit deflated by it all....I’m kind of wondering if it’s not worth me resigning my thoughts to a C section and then if I have a natural be pleasantly surprised! Sorry very moan self indulgent whinge!

@cupcakesandglitter Two hours!! Oh my god I bet that was so uncomfortable in the car! Good luck with the nursery - I need to give mine a bit of a tidy and then put up the shelves, and then it’s done!

@PippaPug Oh hun it’s hard isn’t it - the way I’ve been thinking about it and looking at it is ‘grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change’ - it’s hard to get your head around just how many people need to be involved in a twin birth but all of those restrictions and interventions are in place for a reason, and that reason is keeping us and babies safe! In one of my earlier appointments when I was asking about birth options (and realising there aren’t many with twins!) the consultant said something that stuck with me, something like ‘When you fell pregnant what was that for? To give birth or to have a baby?’ and she just said the doctors and consultants will only ever have both the NICE guidelines and our safety at the forefront of their minds - at the end of the day, no matter how we give birth we still get our babies - it’s the next 18 years we need to be worried about haha!
Those are fabulous weights!! At my 30 week scan both were breech but yesterday twin 2 had turned head down! Twin 1 is still breech so it changes nothing at the moment haha but don’t give up hope. They can spin!
Oh I’m so sorry about the PGP - it’s horrendous, there’s no two ways about it! I hope the physio sees you soon. Sleeping is hell - I’ve started sleeping sat up otherwise the pain is genuinely unbearable!

Spoke to my Doctor earlier and she has eased my mind completely :) They would only worry about blood flow if the reading was over 95% - mine was 90-95% so close but to them, not clinically an issue. The next step would be an additional growth scan which I already have booked for Weds so all on the right pathway! I feel much calmer now. Thanks ladies!

@PippaPug you are not coming across like a spoilt brat in the slightest. It is perfectly acceptable for a woman to want to have control over her body and choice about what happens to it in birth, so it's understandable that when the choices you want are being removed from you it's frustrating. Do you know any other twin mums or are you in any twin FB groups etc.? Also I can't remember if you did the PBC course - but the FB group there might have some useful info. I'm just thinking those sorts of places might have some practical help / real life insight. Fundamentally though, remember you always have a choice and ultimately the decisions are yours to make. E.g. Yes the hospital might prefer for you to have an epidural in so it's easier for them to top up if you need a c-section, but you don't have to go with that if you don't think it's the right decision for you. It's tricky because you essentially have to advocate for yourself when you're in a vulnerable position and in a hospital setting we're very much used to being the patient / being totally led by the medical experts. Sorry if that's a bit of a ramble, I just wanted to tell you that it's not selfish/spoiled to want to have an active voice in your birth and feel like you're in control.

@cupcakesandglitter How many weeks are you? Hopefully plenty of time left for DIY!! Also FWIW I can very much see me eating my batch cooking before he/she arrives...I've got a right appetite at the moment. I'll check out Ella's Kitchen, thanks.

@MrsEG cross post again so glad they got back to you today with good news and you're already on the right path anyway, that must be so reassuring to hear!

@purplefig So reassured after the horrors of Google! She was so, so lovely on the phone too. I feel so relieved that me and DH are actually going to leave the house this evening - only to another seat (cinema!) but still!

@PippaPug One other thing I just thought of - what is it about the c-section that worries you? I never previously wanted one at all, but have done my research since carrying twins on elective sections and ‘soft’ c-sections and they’ve made me feel a lot happier about that option. You can still have a lot of control in the room, your own music, delayed cord clamping, skin to skin etc. Also - there’s a fab group on FB called Twin Mums in the UK that I am on and often mums post about their births and there are some wonderful positive section stories on there that I read a lot! Maybe find that one and join? I find it really nice to have a read over their birth stories!

@MrsEG ahhh I'm so so happy for you. Cinema definitely counts as going out! We went to watch Star Wars the other day and I took my own cushion and hot water bottle with me . I have no shame!!

@PippaPug to add to what MrsEg said - have you looked at any videos of gentle c-sections? So gorgeous!

Afternoon all

Not a great day today. Went for the midwife appointment and when I looked at my notes, realised she’d plotted the baby’s growth wrong. I’m 29w tomorrow and she’s meant to have measured him from 24w and hasn’t.
Anyway, if she plotted him on the growth chart properly, he’s showing as on the 5th centile, so very small.
I called her to chat about my concerns and she shouted down the phone to me: “I’M THE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL, NOT YOU” blah blah blah.
So I rang the hospital (booked in at a different hospital) to speak to the MAU there and they were wonderful.
I went in and showed them my chart and they confirmed she was wrong.
Hooked me up to monitoring straight away and have booked me in for a growth scan on Monday.
Obviously I’m beyond upset and am completely panicking now but trying to stay positive.

@ELW85 oh I’m so sorry you’ve had such a bad experience with your midwife. I’m glad you followed up with the hospital. Try not to panic (I realise the irony in me saying that after falling in to my own Google anxiety spiral today) - the hospital are on it now and you’ll have your growth scan really soon. Remember - the accuracy of bump measuring is said to be fairly pants; you could find all is perfectly well and fine at the scan - baby could just be curled up or tucked away. I’ve had a couple of growth scans now and they are extraordinarily thorough (mine take a good 45 mins) so hopefully on Monday that can put your mind at ease. And complain about that midwife!

@MrsEG - Partly it’s due to twins I can’t have certain things, but it’s also partly because the hospital I’m under doesn’t have equipment to support me in what I want - which is frustrating, I have read the NICE guidelines but what I’m being told from the midwifes don’t match up -
I came away feeling like I had been listened too but I’m still going to end up with a c section from the way she was talking.
I understand that there is “natural c sections” which is a more gentle approach and if I have a C section I will hopefully have this option.
Mainly my reasons for not wanting a c section are - and yes I understand I may or may not have some of these but it’s how I feel:

• Recovery rate - Husband won’t be around and it’s a harder recovery then with a natural birth
• I’m scared of it being out of my control, the anaesthetic/epidural/spinal block - the fact it can go wrong, the fact that so many people I know have had issues from a epidural with back issues
• I really hate the idea of not being able to move (yes I know it’s irrational but that’s how I feel)
• Superficial - but the scar along side my stretch marks I just feel my stomach will be a train wreck
• Infection in the C section wound - longer recovery
• Due to fibroids I’m more likely to bleed and have a blood transfusion - they won’t remove my fibroids whilst I have had my c section however.
• This one is a hard one but personal - These are going to be my only children so I really wanted to try at natural birth - I have nannied for almost half my life and so I have done 95% of things with newborns apart from pregnancy/Labour/Birth and breast feeding - and I know it’s doing to be different anyway with it being my own children - but it’s just something I have always wanted to do. I’m sure you’re all reading it and thinking these are just silly things but to me they are real concerns and I am trying to overcome them but it’s not easy.

@purplefig
No I didn’t do the PBC course....I have tried to read up on positive c sections, but I always come across bad ones and panic myself! Your right I need to make sure I (and DH) take each decision and think about the pros and cons - I think half of why I’m worried is because I feel like I’m already being forced into a C section, it’s not a joint decision where they point out pros and cons and then I choose it overall - it’s more like it’s already a forgone conclusion. How are you?

@ELW85 - please report that midwife! Do you have to see her again or can you ask for another one? Glad they are taking you seriously and will have a growth scan on Monday to check. How are you doing now?
The percentiles are always a guide - and it’s just saying that the 50th percentile is average for a baby at this stage, there will always be babies under and over the 50th percentile - so please don’t need worry - I have looked after babies who are on the 1st and the 99th percentile - all of which are normal for their height/weight :)

@MrsEG @PippaPug - thank you ladies, and I’m so bad I’m being an awful thread friend and not replying thoroughly. I’ve pretty much spent tonight crying.
I’m 100% reporting her. Aside from her horrendous attitude, getting that graph wrong could ultimately cost babies their lives. It would have taken her 5 mins to see me again and check.
Correct I’m not a healthcare professional, but I know when someone hasn’t put a cross on the right line.
Sorry, clearly I’m still not ok.
She also had the cheek to say to me that my worrying was creating an “inhospitable environment” for the baby.
I can’t fault the hospital though; absolutely amazing.
It’s so reassuring to hear your takes on it too.
I’m sure once I’ve got some sleep I’ll be ok.

@MrsEG - are you feeling better now? The google spiral is a double edged sword isn’t it, but it sounds like they’re being so thorough with you, which is fantastic!
When the midwife at the hospital examined me, she said that she thought the other midwife hasn’t measured properly but that she wanted to get the scan booked in. She thinks he’s way higher up than the community midwife gave him credit for, so I’m clinging on to that.

@PippaPug - none of what you’re saying sounds silly. Pregnancy and birth is a very personal experience with a lot of deep meaning for a lot of women. It just needs to be respected and where what you want is medically possible, why shouldn’t you make your own choices??

Sorry again for being an absolute mess. Here was me looking forward to a happy third tri!

@ELW85 - Don’t be silly, your fine!
Well done for having the strength to report her, she could of really done some damage and at the end of the day, your baby is the most important thing to you and rightly so!
Very rude to say a inhospitable environment as well - how dare she!! Please say you don’t need to see her again?
Can you go and snuggle in bed with some chocolate and a good film with DH?

I think that’s what it upsetting me - where I want us medically possible, I don’t understand why I can’t but they are pushing so much a C section which is ironically panicking me more, where as if they said let’s just see where T1 is next scan and take It from there I would be happier - however the way they are going atm is making me dig my heels in! (When I cried and may of uttered the words “it’s not fair” 🙈🙈) reminded me of a toddler tantrum 😂

💐💐💐💐💐 - sensing you some flowers, just to cheer you up!

@PippaPug - I’m definitely not going to see her again. When I go in to the hospital on Monday, I’m just going to request they transfer me under the circumstances and see if that works. If I have to go to her boss and ask for a different midwife, that’s totally fine. They need to understand what she’s like.
Thank you for the flowers - and here are some right back at you 💐 🌷 🌹
I’m sorry you’re having a rubbish time and are being cajoled down a certain route.
Is there a way of getting a second opinion or just asking them to explain why the c-section is necessary? There’s a huge difference between it being ‘usual’ practice and what you want/is feasible.
You have to be happy with it, so make sure you get your answers 😊

@PippaPug It sounds so frustrating for you, and the complete opposite of my experience too. I still haven’t been asked to make any decisions and don’t feel like I’m being forced down any route and I’m nearly 33 weeks. Is there anyone else at all you could speak to about your concerns at the hospital?

@ELW85 She sounds absolutely dreadful. Why even be a midwife if that’s your attitude. Please do complain and transfer away from her! That’s so reassuring what they said at hospital about measuring too. I have high hopes you’ll have a much better day on Monday!

Ladies I feel very peculiar this evening. During the cinema I’ve had cramps in my pelvis and some cramping also in my upper thighs. I’ve never had any Braxton Hicks that I’m aware of so wonder if it’s that but I’d say some of the cramping feels a little painful more so than uncomfortable. Me and DH are both a bit 😧 going to take myself off for a late night bath now and see if it stops.

@ELW85 she sounds like a witch! Defs report her. Sorry that you had to go through that - if she's going to be crap at her job, she should at least rectify her mistakes. I'm glad you're getting the growth scan - I'm sure it'll be ok. Try not to let her affect you - people like her need to get in the bin!

@PippaPug all your concerns are totally valid. You don't sound silly at all. I can't offer much advice - I'm working through the opposite at the moment - I'd like an elective c section and I'm trying to convince myself that a V birth is the right thing to do. I guess having a baby is scary and unknown and we all have to get our minds in the right place to do it. It sounds like they're not really listening to your concerns - can you get your partner to help explain them? I'm sure he's already well and truly in your corner - but maybe both of you explaining again could help? On another note, my pregnancy pillow is wonderful. I had my first proper sleep last night in ages!

@purplefig My house is an endless to do list of small unfinished jobs! I have a bit of time to get them done but I am moving at a snails pace!

@MrsH497 How is everything with your grandpa? Hope you're ok.

@MrsEG Keep us posted on the cramps! Hope you're ok!

I've been doing my expenses all evening with a cup of tea. When did my Friday evenings go from cocktails and dancing to tea and receipt sorting?? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hope you all have good weekends planned!
