Morning ladies, I joined this forum for number 2 (hence my user name!) but Im now on number 3, less than 2 weeks to go! I was planning a homebirth, having had lovely straight forward times for my other 2. My midwife informed me last week that in my area the GP's don't come out to check the...

Just wondering what you guys think. My 2 boys are Alex and Austin, so not sure whether to keep with the A names now. I was never intentional to start a theme! But now wouldn't want this one feeling left out! Also any ideas which names might go with Alex and Austin? Boys and girls names...

Hi girls, Can;t believe Im back here again, seeing as DS2 is only 14 months. But everything went to plan, got married, honeymooned, tried and caught on month 2, chuffed. Pretty sure this'll be our last, 2 is pretty tough at times, can't quite imagine 3 right now! All seems so surreal...

Hi girls. Can't believe Im back on this site, Im sooooo excited! My username is number 2 as I was expecting number 2 when I joined up, and now were trying for number 3! EEEE! We just got married so this is our first month of trying again. Bit tricky to track everything as I was feeding...

Any advice appreciated! Austin has woken up 7 times for the last 3 nights. Not crying or anything, just routing for me, (we co sleep and Im still feeding him) It had been going down to feeding 2 times a night, and then last week he slept all the way from midnight to 6am. Bliss! The next...

Hey, Austin is almost 5 months now, and I'm still feeding and loving it, and very proud of myself tbh! Just wondering if anyone got a routine for their breast-feeding? With alex he was on bottles by now and was just 8, 12, 4, 8, 12, 4. Austin can go 1 hour, 1/2 hour or 3 hours for no reason...

Hi, Austin hasn't pooed for 3 days now, having gone from having probably 5 a day. He's trying to go every few hours, having a strain and a cry, but gives up pretty quickly and settles again. Shall I try some warm water? I've tried the bicycling his legs but that's not worked.

Just received my medela swing in the post this morning, sterilised it, and given it a go whilst Austin was feeding on the other side, and got 4 ozs within 5 mins! Am really pleased, definateky worth the money! With Alex bought an avent manual pump and never worked well, certainly never...

Hi girls, Just looking for some tips on clothing for feeding. I'm not very 'up' with fashion, and have so far stuck with vest tops I can pull down, and cardigans over the top. No chance want to be pulling tops up and getting my tummy out! Did just buy a couple of 'nursing tops' from H&M, and...

Well, here goes my story... Was overdue by 2 days, which I was pretty shocked about as had really thought second babies came earlier than first ones, and my first was a day early. Hadn't had a show, a twinge, nothing. Off I went to the midwife and she gave me a sweep, and told me I was...

Just got back from midwife, really nice new lady, she gave me a sweep and said I'm already 100% effaced and 3cms dilated! She was hopeful it will be very soon, she could feel his head, which made him wiggle around! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and my legs uncrossed it'll be very soon...

Wouldn't believe this my second sometimes! Now when people say getting tightenings/ braxton hicks, this is not the same as when baby 'comes up to the surface' ie when you can feel a hard bum on one side, and your bump looks all lopsided, is it?? I always figured this was just little man...

I feel a bit of a loser asking, but I don't have one! And wouldn't mind having someone to tell when things kick off with me, and in turn I'd get on here to tell all about them?? Or has everyone got someone now? Left it a bit late I guess.

Well here I am on my due date, already had a million texts. How many times can I say 'As soon as I know, I'll text you/put it on FB' :wall2: I of course can't wait to meet our little man, am all ready with the house etc, but it is funny I'm just sat here wanting to feel pains, hoping each...

So I'm 39+3, I am really hoping this baby comes in the next couple of days, but I am starting to think maybe not. Maybe he'll be late, and if he doesn't come out on his own I'll have to be induced on my DS1's first day at school. Not handy! OH has gone on paternity leave now, so he'd have to go...

I've been joking for a couple of weeks now that I'll get on DS trapoline come 37 weeks, never thought about it seriously really! But now Im sat here wondering if it really wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Im not forking out for a ball thingy now, but a few gentle bounces on the...

Hi girls, Just wondering if anyone has claimed Maternity Allowance without payslips? I haven't got my payslips from my job last year anymore, and for personal reasons really don't want to contact my old company to get duplicates, so thought I might be able to send my bank statements instead...

Anyone else crunching their way through these babies all day long? My indigestion started a few weeks ago, and Im now addicted to the crunchy little mints. I was exactly the same last time round. Ive tried all the Supermarkets own brands, my favourites are Tesco and Morrisons, which I think...

Hi girls, Alex is starting school in September, and is absolutely ready to read, he knows quite a few words by sight, and learns new ones easily. I've got the Jolly Phonics series as I know they use that in schools, just wondering what your LO's are bringing home to read? Is there a...

Well, here starts the beginning of the third trimester. Don't know if its because Im 5 years older this time round, although im still only 25, or because this baby hsa a different daddy, but by goodness this pregnancy is nothing like last time! Last time I sailed through to the last week...
