I also had the dizziness and weakness you describe - I was recovering from a very serious wound infection but also I think it was cause I was very low in iron after losing alot of blood during and after the c section.I had to take iron pills for a while but it took time to feel better. I felt...

Oh Crimson, sounds awful! Sorry you've had such a hard time...me too and I appreciate what you're going through. Hope it gets sorted soon - pregnancy and childbirth totally mess up our bodies! xx

Congratulations Miss - Georgie is a cutie pie! xx

Congratulations Claire - you did so well! xx

Thanks all....yes JJ mum the name Asher is from a book....The Bible!! Lol. It is an old testament name he was the son of Jacob and it means blessed or happy :-) I love it! Thanks for all your comments - SPD is hormone related apparantly and I've also heard that it can take a year or so to get...

I had pretty bad SPD during pregnancy, and along with low placenta, pre-eclampsia, emergency c section & serious wound infection, I am unlucky in that I still have it after birth. Am peed off that it's not gone, I am peed off of hearing that I've been one of the unlucky few for all of these...

Congrats again Sunny - Holly Rose is a beautiful name :-) xxx

Yes thanks Setse and Jodie - I was thinking along the same lines....am going to get some shopping in this weekend so at least have everything in I need to have some healthy lunches. Few tins of soup too I think for something super quick! xx

Hey there mummies - has anyone got any ideas for quick, low fat vegetarian lunches? I want to avoid bread - but am finding myself just buying cheese sandwiches or cheese pasties because they're quick (and yummy, lol). Initially after Asher was born I lost 2 and a half stone in 3 weeks and...

Congratulations Shauna - you did so well hun! The midwife sounds awful which is such a shame for you, you were so anxious about the birth and a gentle and kind midwife can make all the difference - I was lucky, I had 2 and they were both lovely. And don't worry about the screaming - you did what...

Good luck Claire - won't be long before you have Jack in your arms xx

Congratulations Sunny on the birth of your baby girl - a nice big weight too! xx

Congratulations flopsy!! xx
