Lily has days like that. She is now 3 months old but has done this quite often. When she has a sleepy day she will wake for a feed and is very alert but goes back to sleep again fairly quickly. I was told by a friend that this is normal and it could be she is just sleeping off a pain as lily...

Hi, I gave birth in Edinburgh on the 20th March and had a good experience. I was induced as i was by then 12 days overdue and it didn't look like my body was going to do it naturally in the next few days and my blood pressure was slightly raised. I wasn't keen on being induced but the...

Hi, I gave birth to a baby girl on the 20th March this year and she was delivered by a student midwive. I couldn't have asked for a better delivery and the student was very good and talked me through the labour and delivery. The delivery was quick and stress free. I had an epidural and she...

Hi, I was due on the 8th March and my due date came and went. It's now over one week and I'm getting really frustrated and down. I know first babies and usually late but I thought the baby would have arrived by now. I was at the midwive on wednesday and she gave the option of an internal...

Hi, I had this in early pregnancy which was also the first time I had ever had cramp in my leg...so sore I had to get out of bed to relieve the pain. I found that I only stretched my legs when I woke in the middle of the night and could feel the cramp coming on. Instead of stretching my...

If I were you I would do as FeeFee has suggested and do another test. Make sure you do it first thing in the morning a you will get a better result. As you have already had a faint dot with your last test this one should be stronger. Early in my pregancy I only had faint lines. When I went...

Hi Laura, I bought a pack of 2 maternity nighties from asda for £8 so I will not feel bad when I have to throw one away. One buttons all the way down the front and the other is just at the top. Hope this helps. Sally

Hi Heather, I wasn't sure myself but found this on the internet: ****** What are "AC", "BPD", "FL" and "HC" in ultrasound measurements? Abdominal Circumference (AC) measures the mother's belly in cross section. Especially later in pregnancy, it is used as an indicator of fetal weight...

Hi, We had our 4D scan on saturday...totally amazing and well worth it! Found out we are having a Girl!! :D We were shocked as we thought it was a boy but we're very pleased. I would recommend it to anyone who was thinking of having one. Our baby was being difficult and always had...

Hi Amy, I didn't feel anything until about the 18th - 19th week and even then I wasn't very sure if it was the baby or wind :lol: !!! Everyone is different and every pregnancy is different and some women don't feel anything until about 20 -22 weeks. As for a bump, I think it really depends...

Hmmm I have been eating chinese or indian food once every two weeks and so far everything is fine. My blood pressure hasn't risen at all. I have cut down though since I found out i was pregnant and usually make it myself anyway.

Hi, I know how you feel. I have changed size twice already during my pregnancy. I went to m+s and was measured properly the first time at 8 weeks then had to go back a few weeks ago to get measured again as my bras were uncomfortable. Found out I needed a 38 (previously 36)! I would recommend...

Hi, I have just booked my 4D scan for the 2nd Dec. I was just wondering if anyone else has had one yet? If so was it worth the money? Did you get good results? And did you also find out the sex? Sorry for all the questions but I'm really looking forward to it but don't know if I should...

Mine took under 2 weeks to arrive and they said I was low risk. so glad I didn't need any further tests.

Hi, I'm due on the 8th march next year! :D
