I don't get one... I'm in hampshire x

I've just bought the tomee tippee ones that say they are the closest to breast but being my first I am just going to see how I go with them for one feed per day

Sorry you have to go through this. She will be unaware of what she's doing at the moment due to the drugs she's on and probably won't remember any of it in a few days.... Always worse for loved ones watching. I'm sure she'll be back to normal soon xx

I was exactly the same from about weeks 15-23 after hardly eating anything in Tri 1. Luckily it seems to have slowed down again now but my bump is suddenly growing at a rate of knots! I can't get enough of sweet things though... dread to think how many easter eggs I'll polish off tomorrow ;)

It has sped up slightly for me... when I think that I'll be 30 weeks in 3 weeks time then it seems quite fast, but when I think I have to wait until July to meet my little one it seems to drag! I think with being my first pregnancy I am aware of every day and the countdown seems to take forever...

Is anyone going to pay to have a private Strep B test? I spoke to my midwife about it and she said it was totally my choice whether I pay for one or not, but even if the test shows up negative there is no guarantee I won't have Strep B when baby is born. However, from doing my research online I...

Epidurals are very safe..they are a routine form of anaesthesia these days..so I guess it's just a personal chouce :-) I don't like the idea of not feeling my baby being born and there is also an increased risk of needing an assisted delivery simply because you may not be able to push as...

We only told family and friends who we wanted to share our exciting news with. Havent put anything on Facebook except for the odd reference in status comments but only my true friends read them anyway! Won't put anything blatant on until after baby is born! Silly as it is I'm still nervous...

Congrats! See you there on Monday :-)

Hope pip comes for you soon beckyboo! Lovely neat bump!

It may just be some of the ingredients in that particular brand...they all make the capsules differently etc. I've been taking the Tesco fish oil capsules 2-3 times / week just to boost my intake a little and I'm fine with them. If you are still struggking try eating omega 3 enriched eggs. When...

What sad news :-( so sorry to read of your loss. Thinking of you xx

Meant to say I'm not scared of the pain!!

Haha! I've always thought of epis as cheating a bit too and I feel they over-medicalise a very natural thing, but it truly is each to their own and as long as mum and baby are OK that is all that matters! I am pretty good with pain though..It is very much mind over matter for me, so maybe that...
