Huge congrats Maybe. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months xx

I don't post here often but I feel I had to comment. I was lucky enough to be a BF mum and very proud I managed 6 months before going back to a highly stressful full time job in the NHS. I believe your comment/flippant joke was highly emotive, from someone who claims to be 'educated.' If you...

I was induced and established labour was 3 hours. Coped with G&A and Morphine and would do it again 2moro. I didn't read any birth stories or induction stories so as not to panic. Just chill and enjoy, and know that when they start the induction its the beginnings of finally meeting your LO :)

Honestly, don't freak yourself out with a routine. I worried to death that we didn't have one and everyone did but secretly my LO was developing his own routine. We now have bathtime @ half 7 and he will scream the house down if his bottle isn't ready the minute he gets downstairs. He'll nod off...

^^ WSS. I was induced, I had 4 six hour pessarys and then went into labour. if I hadn't progressed from the 4th pessary they would have put me on the drip and I was happy with that! To be honest, I think once you're there in the flow of induction u won't want to stop. I don't think induction is...

I was induced and it was all so quick when it finally kicked off. I went to 8cms dilated on just paracetamol, granted, it hurt but u cope. G&A worked a treat and to be honest looking back now I don't think of the pain, I just remember that amazing feeling of my little man appearing. U soon...

I popped at about 20 weeks. Before that I just looked like I had eaten 2 many pies!

^^^ WSS. I secretly hoped for a little girl as my OH already has a son. We stayed Team Yellow as I wanted the surprise. We had a little boy and I adore him. He's my little man and I wouldn't swap him for a girl if u paid me!

I gave up the day I got my BFP. I was a smoker of 20 a day for 10 years and I thought it would be hard but it actually wasn't. The thought of my LO inside me kept me going. He's 4 months now and I still manage to not smoke, I couldn't imagine hugging my lovely clean baby with horrible smokey...

Primark? Lovely and colourful. 3 for £6 and worth it, especially as babies are growing so fast!

I don't think you should be trying to convince women about what jabs to have. As you were told in the Flu Jab thread, the benefits far outweigh the risks and if women are concerned about the jab then to discuss it with their healthcare provider, not make a decision based on a scare-mongering...

You shouldn't feel anything but a slightly sore arm as it is not a live vaccination so doesn't contain any active ingrediants. E.G. Despite popular opinion it doesn't contain a small amount of 'flu!' I had the swine flu jab last year when I was 14 weeks pregnant, and touchwood, my little man has...

My LO has his bumper, a sheet and his sleeping bag. They advise no duvets till LO is about 1, but I know some people do what they are happy with.

I've just googled it and it appears u can! Babyzone have a good article on it. I took my LO up North when he was 4 weeks old, on my own. My HV suggested if I'm travelling alone and he's rearward facing then to turn my front passenger airbags off and have him in the front so I can see him. She...

I've started to lean back more and it has settled him slightly. Only problem is, I got a back injury at work doing CPR about 4 years ago and so if I sit lean back and compress my lumbar spine for to long I'm in agony! Paracetamol doesn't cut the mustard :(
