Definitely stick to your guns and don't give in! Those first few weeks are so important - as you know from your previous babies, your hormones will be all over the place and you NEED that time to establish some sort of routine without spectators offering advice and opinions. My baby girl is 6...

I had to have a spinal with the birth of my daughter 3 weeks ago as we had to go for emergency forceps - they used the same tube as the epidural (which I'd had a few hours before), so the actual needle going in was just the epidural one - and as others have said, they numb you first so you don't...

Hi all, Just thought I'd tag onto this thread - I had my beautiful daughter Isabella Rose on her due date (25th July) weighing 7lb 4oz. She's just over 2 weeks now and I'm exclusively breastfeeding so don't know how much she's getting at each feed, but she's piling on the weight and is 8lb...

Hi all, After a nightmare birth 2 weeks ago I've had a UTI and constipation, along with my episiotomy stitches, which I thought was all starting to get better - but now I think I've developed a pile!!!! Only seems to be 1 and I know it could be worse - but can anyone suggest what creams /...

Hi all! I never really understood just how busy a new baby keeps you - now I do! It's taken me almost 2 weeks to announce that my baby girl is here - and arrived on her due date! Saturday 23rd July 9pm ish - I was starting to feel weird and getting aches across my tummy and back; bounced on...

Me too! Where are you going? Might have to ear mark it for our next holiday after Baby Brady arrives! x

That cocktail sounds AMAZING!!! x

It's gorgeous - the gingerbread pony was the very first thing my hubby bought when we found out I was pregnant! Whole nursery is gingerbread now - love it! x

I went through this when I first started maternity leave at 35 weeks - I think you have to force yourself out of it otherwise you'll end up bored at home too much! I make sure I get up and showered and make up before 10am and it does make me feel more normal! Still get very tired but that's...

Congratulations! Beautiful name, xxx

:rotfl: I like this idea!

Totally - I've got absolutely NO patience for anyone or anything nowadays!!!! My MIL and gran in law are driving me mad, my cat grooms himself too loud, my dog barks too often, my husband needs reminding every day to do the simple things that I just can't do with this big bump, my sister in...

I hate it - I wish people didn't feel the need to comment, I never did to a pregnant lady! I got asked in the changing rooms at Champneys "Ooooh, look at all your stretch marks, aren't you big? When arfe you due?", when I told her I had 4 weeks to go (at the time) she said "Ooooh, you must...

Oh bless you - that's so unfair not to even examine you! In my NCT class we were told that women know their bodies - not everyone fits into the "normal" contraction cycles and if you're struggling you should absolutely insist on at least being checked! Some women can be having short, irregular...

Ooooh exciting!!!!! Hope it is the start of things for you, I've been getting pains on and off since about 3am this morning - nothing as regular as yours and no plug - but I understand how much you want it to be the real thing and not just a false alarm! Good luck, xxx
