I have a three week old baby boy who I am breast feeding with the help of breast shields, I wouldn't be able to do it other wise. I have been advised by my Health Visitor to wait until he is four weeks old until I can express milk? and need some advice. I have no storage bags to freeze the...

Thanks you all for your words of encouragement. We did have a better night last night and although still very sore my breasts are calming down. I think due to the fact that my milk supply has now settled down has helped. Thank you once again, it really helps to know others have had the same...

I have been feeding my newborn for five days now and it is beginning to take its toll on my breasts. Dispite all of the professionals I have seen, who have said my baby is latching on really well I am as sore as hell. I am not sure if my cup size makes a difference (38GG). My nipples are red...

Please help me choose a boys name, We already like Elisa for a girl but I can't think of any boys names. Open to suggestions.

Thank you all for your advice. I have just got back from hospital and heartbeat was detected but I have still no movement. However, the trace did detect movement. They are sending me for a scan next week as there is a skip in the babies heartbeat which they said is quite common 1 in 100...

It has started to concern me that I have not felt baby move all day. I have tried the usual chocolate, walks and patting tummy but nothing. I am 37 + 3 days. Do you think I should call my midwife or wait until the morning?

My hubby and I have considered having a 4d scan, it seems so long since the 20 weeks scan as I am currently 30 weeks. I am finding it really difficult to find anywhere in Wiltshire area, any ideas?

I have been experiencing a pain in my groin area for one week now which is something I have never had before. I don't know if it is related to being pregnant or not. I can only explain it as feeling like I have had sex with a marrow (even through nothing has been near, it feels musclar and is...

Please vote on the possible girls names listed. I do not know what sex baby I am having but have that sixth sense that it is a girl. As you can see I have a difficult surname, therefore forenames have been very restricting.

I have just had a combined Nucal scan at 13 weeks and it was amazing. Although I am only 30 and had no real reason to be concerned, it is something I had to do to ease my mind. The test itself doesn,t cover everything, but it is so lovely to see the baby again, hear the heartbeat for the...

We only told the immediate family at 8 weeks, will be 12 weeks on wednesday and will then tell work collegues and freinds. It is so hard keeping it from people. One because we are so excited but secondly the symptoms are so visual. You should tell poeple when you feel it is right, everyone is...

Can anyone tell me if this is pregnancy related or not. Everytime I sleep on my right hand side a get a numbness in my hip. It doesn't happen any other time and I have tried changing night clothes, just in case it is the stitching pressing against my skin. It is causing me difficulty in...

I just wanted to let those know who think they may never concieve after using the depo that there is hope. I was on the depo for 10 years and through most of that time I thought I never wanted children and so it was never a consideration that I may have difficulties concieving later. I go...

This happened to me, I thought I was 12 weeks pregnant and went for my dating scan to find out I was only 9 weeks 2 days. Although I was very disappointed, I was also very pleased that everything was OK. I am going private for another scan at 13 weeks as I want to check that everything is...

Has anyone considered or even had the combined Nuchal Scan and if so what was the outcome. I am 10 weeks pregnant and have booked the scan in my 12th week for two main reasons. Firstly we have history of Spinia Bifida in our family and need reasurance that everything is OK. Secondly, although it...
