Thanks - yellow and leaky here too!!!!

sorry...that should read 15 weeks, not 15 wees!!!! (I clearly have wees and poos on the brain....) :rotfl:

Hi all, Lottie is 15 wees old and still doing completely liquid poos. Is this normal? She is exclusively breastfed. My HV has told me not to worry but of course I can't help it. Can anyone help? Thanks! Jo x

Can anyone help? Lottie (15 weeks) is finally starting to take short naps during the day for the first time since she was born. Which in some ways is great, as I'm hoping it will make her less overtired and maybe sleep better at night. However, she will only sleep on my chest. As soon as I...

Hi, I don't often post on here, but couldn't walk away from this. Your GP or midwife should have already referred you to see the anaesthetist at the hospital already!!!!! I can't believe they haven't done this. I'm also allergic to all sorts of painkillers, so I had to go and see the...

Oh dear, seems we both had failed sweeps today then! From what I gather, reflexologists generally won't try and induce labour until you are actually overdue - and even then there is no guarantee (unlike the "guarantee" I was given for acupuncture!!). But if nothing else, I've found it has...

Hi Charlie, How fab that your hospital are offering things like this! I don't think mine has even heard of acupuncture. I'm now 40+5 days pregnant, and had acupuncture hugely recommended to me, so I gave it a try on Friday. The practitioner told me it was highly effective, and I should...

I've got one! Haven't used it for BF yet as I'm still pregnant, but it's very comfy for watching TV in! Got mine on ebay - brand new from the factory - for £120 inc. postage. A third of the price of something very similar I tried in John Lewis, so I'd say it was a bargain.

Hi all, I'm 40+1 with my first baby, and desperate not to have to go down the induction route. A friend of mine was induced on Monday, and all her hopes for a calm, mobile, natural birth went right out the window. Also, my SIL went 10 days overdue with her first baby and almost lost him as...

Thanks Sherlock :hug: I guess I have to try and stop worrying!! xx

Hi all, Thanks for your really kind and helpful replies. I got quite a few more movements in the evening, and then yesterday they were almost back to normal. I've been given a kick sheet to fill in, so we'll see how today goes - seems quiet so far, but maybe that's just the pattern we are...

Hi all, I'm 37 weeks pregnant, and the baby's been very active over the past week - lots of kicking and squirming all day long. But yesterday, by late afternoon she had hardly moved at all all day - just the odd little squirm here and there. I was a bit worried, so I called the midwife and...

I went to Boots today, and found arnica tablets in doses in 6C and 30C, with no indication on them as to which was the stronger. The pharmacist told me that 6C is definitely the stronger, as the C refers to how many times it has been diluted. However, since getting home I've seen lots of...

Hi all, I am trying to choose a swaddle blanket, but there are so many types available, and now I'm confused! For those who have swaddled previously, would you have any recommendations? Velcro or no velcro? Specially shaped, with a pocket to put the feet in, or just a basic square...

I'm getting all the stuff for my hospital bag from the Mothercare website. I was shocked that it was adding up to over £100 - obviously it's not just me then!!!!!
