How do you cope or come to terms with guilt? Ellie never latched on properly, i had so much trouble and i ended up nearly from the beginning expressing soley. I have tried and tried in the mean time to get her latched on, but without success. Except for one random feed, which she wasn't...

I have put Ellie on one bottle of Formular a day, since Sunday (OK so that is only two bottles). How has others got on with Aptamill, or would would you receommend a different brand. Just interested in which formular you use and why, and what ones you haven't got on with. Thanks

Ellie is 6 weeks today and had got up too taking 150ml of exprssed milk at each feed and finish it, at about 6 feeds. Last 24 hours she has had still 6 feeds but only taking 100mls. Should i be worried and speak to hv or gp, or do they all have stages like this??? Bit gutting having to...

The last two nights i have woken with sore boobs that need expressing to find that Ellie has slept for 5/6 hours. She is only 3 and 1/2 weeks old. Should i go with her sleeping that long, or should i set the alarm and make sure she has a feed within 3 to 4 hours?? After the first long period...

i am just under 5'2" , does these moby wraps still work the same if you are short?? I know that might sound a silly question, but thought worth asking before i slash out. Just waiting for amazon vouchers, ordered via nector points, so nice treate ;)

Do you own either of the above and if so would you recommend it?? Not sure which to go for, they both seem the same, except for the close baby one looks a lot easier to pop on, but more expensive. Where the Moby looks harder to pop on, but cheaper in price. Advice and recommendations please...

Hello everyone soryr not been on line for ages, will catch up with everything when i get chance. Me, who wasn't keen on breast feeding was very upset and felt a failure when it didn't work out. I came home and started expressing. With in a few days Ellie was on soley expressed milk and has...

If baby doesn't arrive by next Thursday the consultant wants me to be induced (Friday DD). This is due to the monitoring and doppler being raised. I am after good and bad stories, bring them all on, would rather be in the know than not. Any other advice as well please. I have to admit...

I don't know if any of you read but Sunday night i had period pains and BH all night, baby was very, very active during this time. Well since then baby has had a lot less movements to normal. So spoke to the mw today and went in to have a few check ups. CTG all seems normal, but when she got...

I was wondering if i should be worried and contact the MW. Due to the time of day i don't want to, but feeling not very happy. Since about 6pm (Now 1.30am) i have been getting strong period like pains, with a lot of pressure downstairs, and baby hasn't stopped wriggling (which seems a long...

Hello All Just wondering on averge how much weight does baby gain in the last 6 weeks. I am now 34 weeks, and had a scan today, to make sure the placenta has moved up (was too low). All ok and everything has moved up. Baby yawned whilst being watched, LOL. Everything else as far as the...

Is anyone else having horrid nightmares about the baby and birth etc. Is this normal??

OK, sorry ladies, but had a read through the thread about the hospital bag, but it really doesn't go into much detail about what i will need to pack for the baby. So i was wondering if i could have a list from you lovely people, so i make sure i don't forget anything. It will be my bag next...

I am sure the first of many questions along these lines. Did you pack a bag for baby and then also take in the changing bag, or did you put everything for baby into one bag. Also how many nappies did you all take in. Sorry i am sure this one has been asked time after time. I will sit...

I was wondering what the weight gain for the 3rd trimester is meant to be? In the 2nd trimester i know they said you should gain about pound a week which i did like clock work. I have been weighing myself once a week on the same day at the same time, since the beginning, so i have a record...

We have a dinner and dance in a few weeks time and was wondering where would be a good place to buy a smart, maternity dress. I don't really want to spend lots of money as it will only get worn the once. Any ideas of websites that i could have a look at tomorrow. Right off to bed for an...

Just wondering at what stage of pregnancy did your tummy bottons pop?? I am just coming up to 31 weeks and mine hasn't yet, is there still plenty of time, or do you think i will be lucky and it will not pop if it hasn't already??

I know we have had thread along the same lines before, but when in the third trimester can you start taking Raspberry Leaf Tea and Oil Of Evening Primrose? What sort of doses and what can you increase it too?? Also what are the benifits meant to be??

I am sitting here with tears rolling down my face, i can't help it the pain is awful. I had lower back pain, that caused a lot of pain into the hip, my bum and down my top half of my leg. But now it is both sides, both bum cheeks and i am struggling to get around. Which ever side i lay down...

I thought it might happen but was hoping that it wouldn't. Last Friday friends arranged a girly night, on Facebook and not even a word to me to see if i wanted to go. They must have decided between them that because i am pregnant i wouldn't be interested and not even asked. It didn't both me...
