Thanks, Moss.....yes I am sure it is sciatica. Had a really bad bout last night and could not sit or lie down with the pain. My hubby was sent to Tesco to get the strongest painkillers he could by and a back heat belt. Even called the out of hours doc for help.... Will def get it checked...

Thanks for all your supportive replies! Some days I am fine and others I am not...will put it down to hormones. I don't think I will ever stop worrying about my parents or my children - I suppose that's human nature when you love and adore your family. When I think of some people, I am very...

Hi Mums, Just a quickie - is it normal, after birth (well, 11 weeks later) to have sensitive areas in thighs and bum? I keep thinking I am pinching nerves in bum and legs - really bad during night and after exercise. Normal?? Common? Julia xxxx

Hello! I have been through a miscarriage (with my very first pregnancy).......the pain is unbearable - I was bent over double and bleeding like I have never done before. For me, there was no doubting I was losing the pregnancy. I went on to have another 2 successful pregnancies (a girl and a...

Think the guilt trip lasts forever!! Thanks for the facebook acceptance! I was friends with you before so don't know what happened there?? Fab pics of your little one! Would be nice to stay in touch as they grow up!

Thanks, Claire.... We have had a family day out today at a local farm. Feel a little less guilty today as I have not lost my patience with my little girl - she is sooooo good. I am not actually working at the moment - but still get frustrated! I adore my job but I am going to work 4 days a...

Hi All, I had a wonderful childhood: I was adopted when I was a tiny baby and my parents (adoptive) gave me all the love, attention and care that I needed throughout childhood. I am still very very close to them now - they mean the world to me. I suppose I have been spoilt but I don't mean like...

Thanks, NickyB, I know that it is completely morbid and horrible to think of these things but I just can't help it. It has reassured me that you have also been through this weird phase (although obviously awful for you also). I am not having dreams, thank goodness - just thinking "what...

Hi Mums, I gave birth to my second child 11 weeks ago. Everything was fine with the birth and I just had the usual post baby blues - up and down from day to day. However.....I can't stop thinking and worrying about either myself dying OR my mum dying. I also worry about something terrible...

We first tried on Valentine's weekend....I am 11 weeks past birth. It was fine! I was a bit tense but I knew this would make it worse!! I had a natural birth but no stitches so this may very well have made it easier. It was really funny - our both children were going away for the night and...

Hi Mums, I have just had my second baby (well, nearly 9 weeks ago). I feel like my life is just taken up with nappies, puke, poo, toys, tidying up, crying etc.....you all know what I mean. It takes forever to go anywhere. My parents and in laws have been very good and have taken my little girl...

Thanks, Chelle, You have made me feel loads better...thought I should be losing it quicker! Julia x

Just sat down for a few minutes and read all your supportive replies! Thanks very much.....yes, even though I want to lose weight quickly, I don't want to put it all back on again. I have always been body conscious but been fortunate to be slim all my life...apart from now! I have 2 lovely...

Hi Mums, I changed my little boy (8 weeks) yesterday to find a really angry looking lump in the crack of his bum. I got really distressed because it was shocking to see on such a tiny baby. I took him straight to the health visitor this morning who said it looked like a boil. She gently...

Hello! My little boy (who is 8 weeks old) has exactly the same problem. I am just assuming it is trapped wind. He has it late at night and first thing in the morning (about 5am onwards). It really frustrates him and he goes bright red with the struggling. Nothing comes out until about 9.30am...
