Congratulations hun. Glad you and bubba are doing OK. Im due to be induced at Queens on Wednesday - really not looking forward to it - just hope I have a decent midwife. Take care XX

Hi Hun, Ive breastfed all my babies and as you get more confident you'll find easier ways to disguise your feeding in public places. I always took muslin squares out with me and i learnt to drape it discretely if I was wearing a normal top. The bit of the top that is raised will be covered by...

Congratulations hun - at wot a beautiful name.

Had my consultants appointment today and they have booked me in for an induction next Wednesday (4th). They did want to do a membrane sweep today to see if they could encourage natural labour but I declined purely on the fact that I have huge piles (tmi) :oops: and there was no way I wanted to...

From personal experience I think the contractions are far worse than the actual pushing. Obviously your contractions are at their strongest when you have fully dilated and are pushing the baby out but i think because you are able to bear down you are so focussed on that part that the...

Hoping mine will be coming soon too. Going to see consultant tomorrow - hoping he'll give me a membrane sweep to get things going - fingers crossed :D

Anasol cream :oops:

Buckets n buckets of spinach hun - also marmite if you like it. Good Luck tomoz. xx :)

Id mention it to your midwife at your next appointment. I have had high blood pressure in a previous pregnancy and remember them mentioning to look out for visual disturbance and sudden sharp abdominal pain - get them to check yours just in case. Doesnt sound like braxton hicks - although...

From my own personal experience I find they start off as a constant bad period pain but when they are in established labour they are more like really really painful cramps which reach a peak and then subsides for a bit then starts all over again.

I always add Anti-Bacterial Wipes to my bag. Although most mums leave the toilets clean, it can be a messy business and as we are sometimes "open to infection" I much prefer to know that the loo is clean before I use it. I also took in the water measuring container from my iron - OK OK Ive...

Ive been told on two occasions that im having a girl. I must confess ive bought quite a few pink things but if its a boy i'll just take them back - im not fussed either way. On my second scan I asked the sonographer if it was still a girl and although he said that they dont normally change sex...

Hi hun, Ive had a Glucose Tolerance Test and it only really takes an couple of hours. You basically give some bloods and then are given a really sugary drink. After 2 hours they take more bloods and you can go home. As far as im aware they anaylse both your before and after blood...

Kirlykird - Im expecting the safe arrival of a baby girl :D

Had the most awful nite last nite with hardly any sleep. Went to bed with belly ache - not sure now if its period like pains or cos I have a really upset tummy. Couldnt get comfy at all - kept on waking up with wot I thought was indigestion - so decided to get up and have a warm milk. Hadnt...
