The last time I posted here I was definitely fed up. It has taken me 4 months since the birth to get online again. Talk about a rough time! Who ever said childbirth was easy? I haven't had time to post since being induced on 18th November 2006. I think I will post my traumatic birth...

I want my own body back. The more I am overdue, the more pain I suffer. Most days I feel like I want to throw myself off the roof. Cant sleep at night because of pain in hips. Weight cuts off circulation to my legs. Walking is agony every step I take, can here back and hips grinding when I...

Was about to go into hospital today, cuz I've had terrible pains and contractions since Monday night. Luckily I phoned the midwife from the car, cuz she said not to come in as I am only showing signs of very early labour. I was panicked because I didn't know why I had menstrual type cramps going...

Oh yeah sorry, the midwives said the citrus in grapes and oranges upsets the baby's tummy, as it affects the breast milk.

I have been packing my hospital bag for months! Now the novelty is wearing off, haha. Went into hospital for an emergency a couple weeks ago and they provided me with a free overnight bag, full of everything I needed! Also when I took the hospital tour, they have a room there stocked full of...

I have a stupid sore throat, so started drinking lots of orange juice for the vitamin C, which helps immune system. Asked the midwife if its ok for me to take chewable vitamin C supplements and she said it should be alright, as long as I am not taking antenatal vitamins too. In my parenting...

Glad you are doing better now!

I agree! Your baby moved around a lot and seems to have posed for some great pics! :D

Welcome! And good for you being organised. My third tri-mester has been different daily and each day feels like a week! Waiting for baby to arrive. Yesterday I actually got to just sit around and read a book. Which is unusual, considering I am normally bed ridden with pain. Hope to be able to...

With my first pregnancy I was worried about being overdue, so I went on a walk, stomping up and down the hill. Later that night my waters broke and baby was born the next day!

Ew! I wouldn't want to have sex for months after baby is born. I imagine, well definitely not until bleeding has stopped and any stiches healed.

Is it really? Shoot, I had to use a pessary recently for stupid thrush. Thought the applicator went in a bit far. Farther than I have ever been able to even put a tampon in! Uh oh ...

Its easy to research with google and I gathered a list for myself of ways to naturally encourage labour. Of course there are other things you can eat and herbs you can take, but thats not for me. Also, encouraging labour is never really recommended until after your due date. So I will ease into...

Thanks but I just had parenting class tonight and it left me feeling anxious and nervous. I think I have information overload about the birthing process now. It creates all kinds of worries in my head. Need to just relax now and wait for the babe to gestate in her own time.

I met my partner at a nightclub, on 19 July 2003. It was a Saturday night. My first night out at a nightclub in England is where I met my current BF. Hadn't been out clubbing since I moved from America in 2001. Been together 3 years and 2 months now. Expecting his first child and my second...
