HI NIE, I think Ruby is roughly the same age as Adam and she too has a cold and has been feeding well and then feeding badly. I brought her to the doc today who said that it's hard for them to take in formula with a stuffy nose and that they tend to wear themselves out quickly. hence the...

Hi Amzhunny, Thanks for replying to my post re episiotomy. Is there anything I can do to help the healing process? My local gps says no and live normally that it will knit together itself from the inside out. One midwife said the same and the other said try to keep still and let air at it...

Thanks so much everyone. I've been to the hospital and my local gp and the infection has gone. I've just been anxious that it won't heal naturally and will need surgery - which I really don't want - so it's so reassuring to hear that it does heal by itself. Is there anything I should do to...

And to you too laetitia. I was delighted when I saw your news. How are you feeling? s

Hi All, I've been absent from the forum for quite some time but wanted to let you know that my little gorgeous girl arrived safely. My waters broke early so I had to be induced and put on a hormone drip for what became a pretty intense and painful labour. I was 33 hours in labour and when...

Hi Sarah, One is enough. It's a pretty harrowing experience. Two mcs seem to happen to a lot of women and there's no reason why your next pregnancy isn't going to be a joyous experience. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. s

I hope this isn't insensitive but I wanted those of you who have experienced a miscarriage to know that there is hope. I had two, one of which was at 13 weeks and affected me deeply. I was sure I would never get pregnant again or that if I did get pregnant that it would end in tears or sorrow...

Hi, Ive been unfortunate enough to get a gaping wound following my episotiomy. I'm finishing a course of anti biotics now following an infection. I'm really anxious that the wound will not heal but everyone tells me it will. Has this happening to anyone else? S

That is just the best news. I'm on the forum really sporadically now but I'm so glad I came on tonight. Fantastic. Congratulations. s

sorry I haven't been on in such a long time and sorry this reply is late and probably no use to you NIE but what you're feeling is completely natural. We're not sleeping. We're uncomfortable. This is all new to us and we've got a million trillion hormones doing our heads in! I have up and down...

You poor thing. I too have it and it's horrible especially when it's so hard to sleep now .I've had it for years. My doc told me a few months ago that tonic water is really good for RLS something to do with the quinine and I have to say mine did ease for a well but its' back now. Give it a go. s

I live near Kingston in London and was wondering if anyone knows of a good pregnancy yoga class there. Cheers S

Sorry I haven't been on the forum for ages but you're all bloody brilliant. Thanks so much for the positive stories. Absolutely fantastic. s x

That answered your question!! We all feel the same. I feel like a beached whale and like Anne Marie have fat on my arms which I hate more than anything. And my boobs are HUGE so much bigger than my bump. So I guess we're all feeling it. Sorry Squiglet that you've been made redundant. That's...

I went to the Mamas & Papas factory shop in Yorkshire. It's brilliant and full of great bargains. I have to say I did find most of the prams quite heavy so still not sure what to choose. s
