After the growth scan and doppler scan yesterday I was told that the baby is still not growing well. She has now dropped off the 10th centile by some margain but the good news is that the blood flow is still doing well. On talking to the consultant he said that we can take it week by week; he...

I'm off to see the consultant and have yet another growth scan this afternoon. Fingers crossed I will get some answers as to why the baby is small!

Thanx for the replies ladies, I have used my doppler at home to check the HB and sounds ok although she still isnt moving like before. I will keep a check on it this evening, my partner is the accountant for the maternity ward at the hospital so if I need to be seen he can pull a few strings so...

As the title says really I'm measuring small for dates. I had my routine appointment with the consultant last Thursday (I have pre-existing high BP) who measured me at 30cm when I was 34wks. So she sent me for a scan which showed the baby is only on the 10th centile on my chart. I was a bit...

For over a week now Freddie has had very runny poop, its sometimes just like water, almost as tho he is peeing out of his bum! Then it seems to be getting better so I put off ringing the Dr but today he has had slimy jelly like stuff coming out with loose poo, does anyone know what this is...

Yep I realise why I am waiting for my period to return but I'm still confused as to when I need to make the appointment to have the coil fitted? The Dr I spoke to before was a bit unclear and in my haste to get away and being a bit dithery that day I didnt really understand, do you have it...

I found myself in a kind of similar situation and I found that it is very emotional and hard to give up breast feeding and I'm sure that your amazing expressing is the same. You have done such a good job, I hand expressed a few times and it really is hard going, well done. I knew from the start...

A quick question...I was as the title says talking about contraception with my Dr at my 6 week check and I've completely forgotten when the best time to get a coil fitted is, I had read that after giving birth you can have it done at anytime but the Dr (who was a bloke and told me that if I want...

We saw the Dr yesterday and she has booked us in to see a consultant as it was getting louder. Hopefully all will turn out ok when they check him out at the hospital

I had a GP's appointment last week to check my BP whilst there I asked her to check Freddies chest as he had a cold and it didnt seem to be clearing up after 2 weeks. She checked and said his chest sounded clear but did I know he has a heart murmer? NO! Nobody had mentioned this at the hospital...

I dont know about this test but when I took my first it was very very faint because I took it so early. I used sainsburys own brand pee on a stick and wait the old fashioned way...this digital thing means nothing to me! You can pick up cheap tests from supermarkets and pharmacys for less than a...

This is interesting...Can you tell me where you got info on the net, Freddie has some symptoms and he too constantly wants to feed, have tried infacol and gripe water with no let up on his moans and groans especially at night, he is almost always awake throughout the day and night looking for...

As some of you may or may not know I have high blood pressure (not pregnancy induced), it is still really high and I have been advised to start a knew type of medication when I finish breast feeding. The thing is how do I phase out breast feeding without too much uncomfort? I currently give...

Thanx girls, I will ask my GP wen I see her tomorrow, Freddie has an appointment to check his chest as he has a suspected heart murmer (sp) I'll double check with her that all is as it should be with me too but by the sounds of it it sounds quite normal xx

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, let me know if its not! Freddie will be 5 weeks on Tuesday all is going well with him apart from a bit of colic. After he was born I had a fairly light bleed, in fact I didnt have to change my pads very often at all and I only changed them when...
