It's been 2 weeks since my beautiful daughter was born so here comes her birth story. I had a consultant appointment on her due date - 26th Sept. To my surprise I was offered a sweep which I eagerly accepted. I was 1cm dilated and my cervix was described as moderately soft. Saw the midwife...

Well I had a sweep on Friday and it worked a treat. I had backache and felt discomfort low down in the pelvic area in the afternoon. Mid evening I noticed tightenings in the same area, low down in my pelvis but they weren't that much stronger than Braxton Hicks. However, they were coming every...

Well I've reached my due date which I'm pleased about after having a premature birth first time around. Saw the consultant this morning, she gave me a sweep and said I was 1cm so things are slowly started to get ready for labour. Midwife has just been around though and she said sweeps aren't...

It's been a strange week for me, had stomach ache and regular tightenings on Monday night for a few hours, they settled down after a hot bath and I was able to sleep OK. Next day I felt fine. Later on Tuesday night I started with stomach ache again and had severe stomach and back pains, which...

I had a consultant appointment today, arranged because my waters broke prematurely first time around. Baby has been flipping between breech and transverse for several weeks now and I was convinced he/she was still transverse but baby has turned :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: They...

Had my scan today :D Everything is well with baby, lovely to see him/her again. We didn't find out the gender. Already the consultant was talking about putting drips into me during labour to help avoid having a retained placenta like last time :( Count down to my 4D scan now in 7...

Hi, I'm officially joining you guys today as I'm 13 weeks pregnant today :cheer:

I can't quite believe it but I'm 13 weeks pregnant today :cheer: :cheer: It's been a long first tri after finding out I had my BFP at 3.5 weeks gone. Since 8 weeks, time has flown by. I hope it's the same for the rest of you eager to get past 12 weeks. Congratulations to all our newbie...

I had an early scan this morning as I've been spotting on and off since I got pregnant. But the last week it's been persistent. Thankfully everything is well with bubs, he's/she's doubled in size since my private scan 2 weeks ago. I think I'll continue to spot for the rest of first tri as...

I booked a private early scan which I had today and saw my little bean :D The scan has put me forward by a couple of days, a lovely boost and we saw a strong heartbeat. It's little arm and leg buds are just starting to grow. Feeling much more reassured now. Really happy :D

Saw this on another forum today, it made me laugh. It's just a bit of fun :D : http://www.babygenderprediction.com/old-wives-tales/index.phtml

Hi, I got my BFP yesterday after thinking my AF was on it's way because I've had a few days of IB :D My cycle has been 6 weeks, does anybody know are due dates calculated in the same way for long cycles i.e. first day of last period? Doesn't seem right :? I have a 19 month old son too.

It was my birthday on Monday, despite my lovely gifts I received the best one last night..........a BFP!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Really didn't think it was my month as I was suffering another 6 week cycle after ov'ing on CD28. Plus I started spotting on Wednesday, I've been having a...

I've been suffering with thrush for a few days, (sorry TMI :oops: ) I want to get rid of it before we start BD'ing again. Just at the tail end of my AF at the moment. Do you think it's safe to take the oral capsule for thrush at this stage of my cycle or avoid it altogether. I used a...

Thinking of using pre-seed on my next cycle. Anybody else use it? If so, do you recommend it? Have you had any problems with it? Also, does it cause any problems in identifying what type of CM you have the next day after using it?

Hi, Does anybody else suffer with IBS? I've recently been diagnosed with it after suffering with dreadful stomach cramps since having my son. I started taking Pregnacare vitamins and since taking them 3 days ago, I've had IBS pains every night. Looks like they're too strong for my stomach...

Hi, My last 2 cycles, I haven't ovulated until day 28/29 where I normally ovulate around day 18/19. Delayed ovulation can be down to various factors, stress, illness etc... but the one thing I can definitely say that's changed is that I've been taking Evening Primrose Capsules from day 1...

I've worked out the average cycle length over the last 6 months and they are on average 28 days. They've varied from being 16 days to 32 days on my last cycle. I normally ovulate around d19, I know what to look out for now after my last pregnancy and only use the OPK to confirm that I should...
