Hi Caz Sounds like it could be normal, but i would be suspicious of a urine infection - did the midwife check your wee yesterday? If she did and it was ok, it probably isn't, but they can cause the nausea, lower back pain and uterine contractions. Just to be on the safe side, drink plenty...

Hiya I agree with the other posters. I've had teeth out and it really hasn't been that bad (as long as you take pain killers!), but you're already in a lot of pain so it can't be worse than that. My OH had a root canal done and said it was the worst pain ever (even more painful than when the...

Hi Paradysso Hopefully the midwife has put all your fears to rest this morning, and that Harriet continues to be healthy :pray: The best information on the web that i have found is http://www.gbss.org.uk/section.php?sect ... =downloads which has a number of information leaflets...

Hi Paradysso My son developed GBS infection when he was 15 hours old. I knew that i was positive for GBS, and i received the intravenous antibiotics, but unfortunately he still got it :( He was born be emergency c section, so i was in hospital still, and he started to have difficulty...

Hi, only just saw your post! I've got a sling very similar to the one in the link - mine can also be used for babies over 5 months (sitting on your hip style). I also had a c section and tbh it was at least a couple of months before i could even try to use the sling (achy pain around...

My son was engaged at 34 weeks and fully engaged by 36 weeks - still didn't go into labour until 41 weeks though! I got all excited and was expecting labour to start any day, and it didn't! :roll: (even though the midwife kept saying that she probably wouldn't see me in clinic next week cos...

Hi Laura I tested positive for GBS at 19 weeks in a urine sample, and again not long after so i was put on oral antibiotics for the rest of the pregnancy. I had the intravenous antibiotics during labour (nothing too major - drip in back of hand). Not sure if you are/were planning a water...

Hi Not quite the answer you were expecting - but my midwife fainted during my labour!!!! :shock: She hit the floor and another midwife had to bring in a wheelchair to take her away! I think i was to blame as she had spent her entire shift with me and not eaten or had a break - didn't...

they are blimmin brilliant and i would say definately get one! I used mine for 12 hours at home and then 24 hours in the hospital and didn't use anything else :shock: (until i had an epidural and emergency c section right at the end :rotfl: ). It really does work wonders and i will def use...

Hiya I know what you mean about feeling sorry for your lo being sick all the time - my son is nearly seven months now and i think we have finally got this reflux thing under control! He's on ranitidine, domperidone and gaviscon; so similar to the drugs your daughter is on except the...

Hi My son is on hypoallergenic milk formula (nutramigen - similar to neocate and apparently tastes worse!!!). He had trouble for a few days when we first introduced it because he was used to breast milk or cow and gate. Pretty soon he accepted the taste and has been on it for four months now...

Hi All GBS can show up in the urine - I had a positive urine culture at 19 weeks. It only shows up in the urine if it has travelled up to the bladder via the vagina. It can be quite serious to have GBS urine infection ( i was told it increased my risk of miscarriage). Because I tested...

Hi Hope it went ok yesterday, I know exactly how you feel. I'm happy to let my mum and dad look after my son but they live far away so are not available very often. My OH's parents and very near and are desperate to look after him, but they are the same with the constant holding and jiggling...

Hi Vicki I have experience of this. My son had a tongue tie and had difficulties feeding for the first three weeks of his life until it was diagnosed. The Health Authority that we're under are very proactive in sorting out tongue ties and my son had the 'snip' within three days of diagnosis...

I agree with not washing all of the new clothes that you have - leave some with the wrapper and tags on - my son was born weighing 11 lb 5 oz and never wore any of the new born baby clothes because he was already too big :shock: He's just over seven weeks old now and just gone into 3-6...
