I wear the sling inside my coat and the coat open, but I noticed today I was still a bit cold. I got this scarf come poncho thing when I was pregnant, as I couldn't do my coat up then either, and that is great to add a bit of extra flexible warmth. I'm sure they have a proper name but its like a...

Mine came back when I started weaning at 6 months but I don't think there is any logic to it.

Congratulations Emmie

I had something similar last sunday but I think it was the baby moving - he was engaged on the tusday and had turned around. Doesn't seem to have been a sign of anything else though

They generally say after 38 weeks.

A coulpe of my friends have bought the old fashioned style dryers - the type that attach to the ceiling and go up and down - they swear by them. apparently Asda were/are selling them. I have a pull out line in the utility room, but used to be in the bathroom in our old place.

I used one for the pump and EBM bottles, but didn't get it in advance - you could wait and see if you need one. I never sterilised toys

We started trying as soon as periods came back when Charlotte was 6 months. Unfortunatley I lost the first baby but got pregnant a couple of months later. Now I will have an 18 month gap. It is a bit scary and being pregnant is a bit harder when you have another LO to look after (esp mmorning...

I was going to make this point as well - olive oil is a good fat but loses the goodness when heated to high temperatures. (Rape seed oil is better) I would have thought though your LO will just start eating more when he starts moving around - not needing fatty foods! It does seem like a bizarre...

Personally I wouldn't bother expressing this early and the faff probably won't be worth while. You would have to stop anyway to feed, so either stay in the car (I always found the car quite a comfy place to feed) and send everyone else off, or find a quite place in the service station. Like the...

Oooh that was sooooooo lovely. I will never forget that first feed and am so looking forward to doing it agian.

I bought mainly 0-3 to get some wear out of them. She would have fitted newborn but not for long.

I've been having regular tightenings for a good couple of weeks now, like you fairly constantly. According to my book, increased BH's can start 6-8 weeks before so its nothing to worry about. It also says that if the backache can be releived by moving position, it is not contracting/labour...

It really depends upon how much support you are going to need - I needed as much support as I could get as my boobs are quite big and were heavy once my milk came in. Most of the nursing bras are comfortable though - they tend not to be underwired (although underwired ones are available) and...

Watch this space - my first was 39 weeks - just waiting now to see if her brother is as impatient! MW says there is more of a chance your second will be early if your first was, but no guarentees.
