I’m excited to marry my SO in a few months but I have severe stage fright and do not like being the center of attention. Any advice on how to reduce the anxiety and just enjoy the day?

I tried to ignore everyone else, especially in the ceremony. Eyes on the prize!!

Another random tip - make sure you don't lock your knees when standing up there or you'll risk getting dizzy/ fainting. Didnt know that was a thing until I was standing forever having my dress fitted and almost fainted. The seamstress is the one that told me, and that it's a super common issue.

Have a few drinks

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

I give massive kudos to all the parents out there juggling work and home life. But it’s starting to feel like I pulled the short stick by not having a kid.
