How does everyone dispose of their shop bought nappies. I don't mean the ones with liners in.

Just wondered how long after having your baby you waited to get pregnant again.

In Hospital they told me I could only have a shower after a C section, as the wound shouldn't be soaked. It's been just over 3 Weeks since my op, so would it be OK to have a bath now??

When am I likely to get my period after having a C section???

Has anyone else who has had a C section know how long you have to keep the flight socks on? I was initially told 5 days after the op. Then another Doctor told me yesterday 6 months, then changed it to 6 Weeks?? All a bit varied! Anyone know for sure how long you keep them on??

I'm so tired after having a C section last Friday. I have to express milk in the early hours and it's such an effort to get up and do it! I get up feeling tired and by evening I'm having difficulty keeping my eyes open! I feel totaly shattered. Anyone else feel like this after a cessarian?

I had an emergency C section on Friday 13th!! Had high blood pressure throughout pregnancy and baby was on the small side. at a scan last Tuesday I was told that the placenta wasn't letting enough nutrients through to baby. Had to have heart trace on baby twice a day as an outpatient. Consultant...

Went in for routine scan and anti-natal appointment on Tuesday. Scan showed baby not as big as it should be, so they did a scan on placenta to see if nutrients were getting through to LO OK. It showed up as not being as effecient as it should be and baby is short of nutrients. They've put this...

My morning sickness started at 6 Weeks and lasted to 12 Weeks. The last couple of Weeks I've been getting those horrible hunger pangs that leave you feeling sick if you don't eat straight away. This morning I was incredibly hungry and had toast as usual. Still felt hungry and then started to...

Had MW appointment this morning and baby is very low down in cervix, (2/5 engaged). Have terrible pressure and pain low down in my abdomen and get out of breath easily. I can't put socks on without being in pain and had to ask Mum to do my shoe laces up this morning! I'm just so uncomfy ...

I've had a browny colour discharge in very small amounts on and off for the last few Weeks. It's not continuous and not always there. I see it on my knickers and sometimes feel it trickle out! Once I wipe there's not a lot there and it's got clear bits in it too, so not totaly brown! Also, I've...

Just been looking at my notes and on the 23/03 when I was 34 +2 it says under "presentation" ceph 3/5. I know this is in relation to how far down baby's head is in the pelvis. I have noticed that bump isn't as high as it was. Just wondered if it gets to 5/5, does that mean labour isn't far away????

Just wondered if maternity pads were any better/more absorbent than sanitry towels? I have a load of "Always" sanitry towels and just wondered if I could use these instead of spending more on maternity towels??

Sorry for such a strange question, but just wondered if with all the pushing during labour you actualy poo too?? Also, what if you need to wee during birth?

I mentioned to my darling OH yesterday morning that if our baby was to come early we didn't even have the nursery ready. Yesterday morning it was just a spare room full of junk! He came home early and started on it yesterday afternoon and by the evening we had a nursery! All cleared out, cot up...

Saw my MW on Friday and mentioned the painful pubic bones which I've had for about a Week now. She said I have slight seperation of the pubic bones and it will only get more painful. Oh joy!! She referred me to the physio dept at the Hospital and gave me a letter to give to them requesting a...

I have been putting off OH having sex for about 3 Weeks, as have felt too uncomfy. Today I gave in and after only a few minutes felt too sore to carry on. Afterwards when I wiped I had a slight pinky coloured discharge. Nothing awful and not that much of it, didn't even stain my pants. Sorry if...

I have read on here I think as well as other forums that when pregnant we shouldn't drink Ovaltine because of the Vitamin A content. I have just received an email from "Bounty" promoting Ovaltine and info on a competition to win some. It states that it has all the Vitamins that you need when...

I'm terrified about giving birth, worried about how we're going to manage financialy when baby is here as we struggle enough now and today it just all came to a head and I've cried on and off all day. My OH keeps asking me what's wrong, but he suffers from depression and I don't want to burden...
