That's what mine looked like and she's here now so fingers crossed for you xxx

My LO was all over the place as I had excess fluid, last MW appointment think she was breech! but she came a week early and was the right way round. My friends baby was engaged and baby must have turned breech in the last week so she ended with emergency c section. I think there is no rule to it...

I exclusively breastfeed and waited til the recommended 6 weeks to try some expressed milk in bottle so oh could have a go. She had no idea what to do with the bottle, thought it was a toy to chew. We've tried since but still no luck. My other half doesn't mind, he works all day anyway and it's...

Me neither, the worst I said was oh my goodness to which they all laughed at my politeness.

I wouldn't worry about people you know at the hospital. On one born every min there was a midwife who gave birth with her co workers helping. They were crying too when her baby came out as she meant more to them. I think everyone understands especially if they've been through it themselves. And...

Definitely recommend hypnobirthing! I stayed very calm because of it and baby stayed very chilled all the way out.

When I had mine she had to go in at a completely different angle to see those parts- right up from below beneath the legs. They were crossed for quite a while but then baby gave us a glimpse and she pointed it out. It wasn't even an obvious thing to my eyes! I agree with the others, she didn't see.

Great thread, super ideas!

We did the same experiment and it was the same, as soon as she went on her tummy the crying stopped. Think lying that way closes off some valve that stops some contents coming back up but don't quote me on it. Like the others have said we have the breathing monitor as I knew i'd be in checking...

These are my favs for bf - I have 2 as they were more interesting because of the layers and very handy for feeding without clips. covers up tummy too...

Very bizarre to not say anything. Surely it's a normal/ polite thing to ask first? I even ask OH if I can take her when he's holding her. ( that's usually for a feed as he's welcome to hold her- I have her all day afterall) My mum always says 'can I have a cuddle now?' yeah I think the not...

Totally recommend hypnobirthing and tens. I got to 6cms at home with total focus on breathing and visualisation. Was 8cms when I got to hospital and then had some gas and air on the pushing part. I just wasn't prepared to feel so weak afterwards (maybe because I laboured in the night with no...

If it was me the next time he went off I'd probably go somewhere else so when he returned he'd come home to an empty house not knowing where you were, probably call you loads and start getting worried. You'd have to not answer any calls to get him really worried. You can always make up an...

When we first bathed LO she screamed loads and after I got a bath thermometer I realised I had water way too cool! She loves it now it is proper temp. I think she might scream at a swimming class as the water is tepid! After reading your story I think I'll take her on my own to the pool to get...

I'm not one for believing all I read but thought I'd share this just incase it stops an incident happening. I just typed in 'Sophie the giraffe thinking of getting one for LO to chew on. When I did, it came up with a thread 'sophie giraffe dangerous.' I looked and someone posted a link to the...
