Some of you may know that I have written off and obtained my hospital notes from the births of my daughter Josie and more recently little Emma who is now nearly 3 months old! It took a few weeks but I now have all the documents back from the nhs (cost about £15) and I have typed them all up...

Does anyone have any experience of C & G COMFORT milk? I put Emma on it because she was very colicky.. screaming, crying, going stiff and red etc for a good few hours a day. i also tried infacol and then dentinox but she still seems to be doing it and suffering with wind/tummy pains.. it is...

Today my friend called me and said "just wondered if you wanted to pop round this afternoon as the fire brigade are coming to fit smoke detectors in our house and wondered if Josie wants to see the fire engine?" So I say : "don't be silly they're not going to send a whole fire engine out just...

this is SO SO true!!! Your Clothes 1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your doctor confirms your pregnancy. 2nd baby: You wear your normal clothes for as long as possible. 3rd baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your normal clothes. Preparing for the Birth 1st baby: You...

Has anyone else had "gaping stitches"? I had a 2nd degree tear which for about 3 days after the birth didn't hurt at all.. but then they started pulling a bit and now it's hurting if i stand up or sit down.. i showed the midwife today and she wrote down that they are "gaping". She was...

Just wondered those of you who has stitches when they started hurting? I had a 2nd degree tear and I've had no pain at all from them up til yesterday and then started to become really sore. I've got bad piles again too and it could be them that are causing the pain? I managed to look at the...

Emmas Birth Story Bit lengthy but wanted to write it all down before I forget any bits! On the morning of Sunday 29th May after an uncomfortable nights sleep, I started to felt a tightening at around 11:30 am. Didn’t think much of it and then had another one at about 12 midday and...

Just a quickie update... thank you so much for all your messages, and to Jodie for being a star text buddy! Will type up a proper birth story soon but basically i got sent home at about 11pm last night as contractions were irregular and was still only 2cm... well by the time we walked off the...

i think i might be in labour :shock: been getting pains every 5 or 6 minutes lasting 30-40 seconds since about 2pm... Been to Frankie and Bennies for lunch and spent the whole time timing the pains, struggling to the loo yet still managing to eat my yummy pizza inbetween... so far the...

just wondered as i read something online about it being dangerous to be induced if the heads not engaged as the cord can come down through the cervix when they break your waters etc? i'm not too worried as with Josie her head was at -3 station and gradually came down as the induction...

Yowchers... the delights of being pregnant and having piles... just went to the loo (only for a wee) and the biggest pile i've got just burst! Bright red blood everywhere... i tried to bob over a mirror to check it was deffo coming from the pile and blood was just dripping rather rapidly from...

Nearly finished now.. just got to get curtains and pictures / shelves etc...

this is a bit of a random thread but I just wondered if you have all heard of freecyle? i only found out about it a little while ago but it's basically a site where people list items they no longer need / use rather than chucking them out (local to where you live). People then apply for the...

aarrgh - we just cannot find a name we both like and only 10 days til my due date!!! (although if this one is like my first she will be 10 days late!) So, i had a scan at 18 weeks which said it's a girl (although this is so long ago now and quite early to have a sexing scan so i don't even know...

Hi girlies Had my 38 week check up today... baby is now only 3/5ths palpable (was 4/5ths 2 weeks ago)... i thought it felt like it had moved down even more! just a quickie - does anyone know anything about ketones in urine.. mine were showing positive in urine so they have sent my sample...

well... off i went to the salon this morning after dropping my little girl off to nursery... the therapist was lovely and said so your having a "high maintenance" today are you? (apparantly that's what they call not quite a brazilian)... well the first few wax strips weren't too bad (round the...

Normally I shave but it has become too difficult to see now... i am very tempted to go and book in for a bikini wax tomorrow .. possibly a brazilian (eek)... but i only ever had waxing done once a few years ago... i seem to remember it not being as bad as i thought but i don't want to come up...

Hi all Had my 36 week check up yesterday and have got some firm dates and a sort of “plan” now for if the baby doesn’t put in an appearance by herself! With my first baby I was induced at 7 days over and finally had her 10 days over so this time I’m really “expecting” to go...

Well, went for my 34 week check up today and after previously measuring "large for dates" for the last 2 appointments I am now back on track and spot on for dates - 34cm! And that sleepless night last week where i thought the baby had moved down WAS the baby engaging.. Midwife said the head is...
