No....I can't think who i would want to show it to afterwards...i'm not that close to any of my friends...in any case it can be a little undignified sometimes Kieren

Being male myself, I have to agree it is good to see other men using the site. Primarily though i think it is a good support network, so any man who can offer advice and support, and wants to genuinely learn from other women, then i feel they should be made welcome. I feel welcome here anyway...

Hiya What gestation are you and how many babies have you had? The cervix is about 3-4cms long in a non-pregnant woman who has never had a baby (primigravida...or primip) and can be a lot shorter on a non-pregnant woman who has had a baby before (multigravida...or multip)...this is known as a...

Hiya Pansy i think if the cramping pains are waking you up, you should get checked out. Pity you have to pay to see the ER Dr's, it's easier for us as it is free at point of service. Hope al is well :) Kieren

Hiya I recently posted this on my thread to someone asking about Anti-d. I have tried to explain it as best I could...any problems let me know!! Hope this makes sense guys love Kieren xxx

Hiya there is absolutely no problem with drinking orange juice during pregnancy...the vitamin C is brilliant for you and baby. The only reason i can think of your midwife suggesting you lay off the stuff is that it can increase your heartburn...cause it's quite acidic. What would make it...

I really like it!! :wink: Kieren xxx

Hiya Interestingly most pilates courses state that you can do this form of exercise whether you are 1 week or at term. I think the problem with vidoes is they have to cover their backs in case any women miscarry during the first trimester and try to blame it on them (thus being the chance of...

Hello everyone! It is with sad regret that I am no longer going to be here to give advice. I have been strongly advised by certain people in my profession (actually told!) that it isn't a good idea for me to continue offering my support and guidance as it could affect my registration as a...

Hiya Your Hb is going to drop in pregnancy anyway. This is mainly because you retain more fluid, hence your hb is diluted, giving a smaller reading. anything above 10 is deemed ok, but ferrous sulphate tablets should work...seldom do women get given the injections. The injections aren't...

Hiya First of all let me reassure you that I would never look down on anyone. In fact I respect you for tackling an addiction, twice during your pregnancy. This already shows to me that you have the baby's interest at heart...so you should be applauded for what has been an extremely...

Hiya Try not to freak out too much. Lots of women do have bleeding in the earlier part of their pregnancy. It is always a tense time when you see some bleeding, but rest assured that much of the time it resolves itself. Fingers crossed for you all Kieren

Awww.I'm glad your hubbie is supportive. :D Look forward to hearing from you again soon kieren

Hiya just wanted to say that vaginal discharge is normal during pregnancy, and you may find that increases in the third trimester. The consistency is just as you describe..creamy, white. It is caused buy the hormones that help your little one to grow and develop, and the changes of your...

Hiya...sorry I'm so late in replying Most women don't feel any signs until the fertilised egg attaches itself to the uterine wall - here you may get what is known as implantation bleeding. You may experience all or none of these symptoms: Food Cravings Darkening of your areolas...
