No questions as such, I just feel I need to write things down so I can start looking forward a bit more rather than dwelling on the what ifs. Baby Jessica was born last Wednesday after a rather traumatic birth (I can't remember much of the last 7 hours of my labour so certainly more traumatic...

Petra gave birth to her little boy this morning at 7.18 weighing 3.48kg and measuring 51cm - he sounds perfect. :clap: He is called Miran and Petra says he is breastfeeding well. :cheer: Well done Petra, so very proud of you. :hug: And welcome to the lovely Miran - he sounds gorgeous (and...

I'm afraid I just wanted to post a self indulgent moaning post! :oops: I've come out in a hideous cold the last couple of days - aching all over, really chesty cough (that makes me cough so much at night my throat bleeds :( ), really snotty and my ears feel all blocked up and hurt too. Baby...

Wasn't sure where to put this so sorry if there is a more appropriate place! I'm thinking ahead as this isn't applicable yet but I was just wondering if anybody had gone along to the Sure Start schemes that are run in some places? We are not eligible for the grant or anything and I can't find...

I bought some capsules from H&B (400mg I think) but completely forgot about them! :wall: Is it too late to start now for them to have the desired effects during 2nd stage and postnatally? Also, what sort of dosage should I be thinking about if I am still in time? :think: Baby is due in 2...

I think I may be mad for even considering this! :doh: We haven't had a 'proper' holiday for about 3 years as what with buying our first house (with all the added stresses of our first property fallling through and almost being homeless) then having to spend lots on the house to fix things...

At my routine midwife appointment today she booked me in for a GTT at the hospital next Wednesday. :( I'm petrified of needles and it has been a fairly horrific experience the last two times that the midwife has taken blood so I'm not looking forward to it. :shakehead: I'm upset because I...

:wave: Can I join you all? I can't believe how quickly it has gone - I thought it would be ages before I got here! :shock:

Are they okay okay to use instead of a traditional wooden cot? For some reason, I just feel travel cots should be for 'occasional use only' (like they say for sofa beds etc) but I can't find anything to that effect anywhere... :think: Could a travel cots be used all the time in place of a...

Exciting but oh so scary - I want to stay here!! :shakehead: I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. The week's up until my first scan at 11+3 seemed to drag (but I think was because I was also worried because of bleeding etc) but since then it has flown by - I don't know where the...

Eek! How did I get here so quickly?!! Count down now! :cheer:

Quick background info below - I'd just like a few opinions or if anyone thinks I should specfically mention (or not) anything else etc. I'm rather nervous about the whole thing but feeling better that they are finally taking me seriously. I work for a company of about 30 people although we are...

My lovely mum has bought us a 4D scan as a present. :cheer: I've been having a tough time at work recently and it's really cheered me up to think I'll be able to see baby again 3 weeks on Sunday! :D Also, we will hopefully be able to find out what baby is (other than an elephant!) as it...

We don't know whether baby is a boy or girl yet so this isn't a dilemma quite yet! :lol: However, we have had terrible trouble agreeing on names (and we started discussing prospective names years ago :oops: ). The only boys name we truly both like is Harrison. I don't like abbreviating...

Had my scan yesterday and it was lovely. All is well with baby but as it is breech at the moment (and had its legs crossed! :roll: ) we are now team green by default! :lol:

My scan is Wednesday at 9.20 but I am sure I am going to burst from being impatient before then! I am also slightly worried as we are hoping to find the sex out and I don't want Neil to be disappointed. :( He says he doesn't mind but it is definitely a girl so it doesn't matter and refuses...

I have to book all my own appiontments but have a list of dates that I need to be seen. (And my memory is so bad I only worked out today where I had 'safely stored' my list! :wall: ) So, my next appointment should be at 20-22 weeks after my scan apparently. My scan is next Wednesday at 21+3...

When are you meant to book them? My midwife told me about them at my booking appointment and something about ringing someone (I don't know who, I just have a phone number) at 16 weeks. However, all the antenatal classes that I have heard about (admittedly not in my area) appear to start around...

People seem amazed when I say my parents haven't met Neil's parents. I was just wondering how long you had all been together before your respective parents met each other (and how it went!)? I have known Neil for (counts on fingers) 7 years and been together for almost 6. We've lived together...
