I want my own body back. The more I am overdue, the more pain I suffer. Most days I feel like I want to throw myself off the roof. Cant sleep at night because of pain in hips. Weight cuts off circulation to my legs. Walking is agony every step I take, can here back and hips grinding when I...

Was about to go into hospital today, cuz I've had terrible pains and contractions since Monday night. Luckily I phoned the midwife from the car, cuz she said not to come in as I am only showing signs of very early labour. I was panicked because I didn't know why I had menstrual type cramps going...

I have a stupid sore throat, so started drinking lots of orange juice for the vitamin C, which helps immune system. Asked the midwife if its ok for me to take chewable vitamin C supplements and she said it should be alright, as long as I am not taking antenatal vitamins too. In my parenting...

Its easy to research with google and I gathered a list for myself of ways to naturally encourage labour. Of course there are other things you can eat and herbs you can take, but thats not for me. Also, encouraging labour is never really recommended until after your due date. So I will ease into...

Anyone got them? My bump is really stretching now and always itchy during the day. I always apply stretch mark cream, but I heard theres nothing you can do about getting stretch marks. I wish I could afford that BIO-OIL, but its a tiny bottle for £10 ! I try not to scratch my belly, but...

Went to our 1st of 3 antenatal classes tonight. Was good for me, but BF was so tired from 11 hour shift at work. The class was very informative and I'm glad I get to attend. Even though I have already had a daughter it was 12 years ago and I never did any lamaze classes. Plus they have info...

Is anyone here working while pregnant? How far along will you be when you stop, or how far along were you when you left work for maternity leave? I stopped working when I was 4 weeks along! Got extremely danger zone ill.

I just woke up and its 4:40 pm! Slept all day. Don't know what my problem is lately. Can't stay awake for more than a few hours at a time. Is this normal in the final weeks? Anyone else here feeling over tired? I don't remember sleeping this much with my first, but that was 12 years ago ..

Is your due date the 9th of November? Wow! you and I are really close. Wouldn't that be awes if our babies were born on the same day? :wink: Although I am going in for a scan on 16 October, to see if my due date might be 2 weeks earlier now :shock:

Is anyone here doing any pregnancy safe exercises or working out? I keep telling myself it will do me good to get out and go for a little walk, but I either forget, or feel too huge in the day to get going! I know it is recommended that I do a bit of exercise while pregnant, to keep good...

Wow! My OH has been unusually supportive today. When I woke up depressed, all I had to do was mention feeling low and he jumped up and started cleaning the whole house! He did the laundry too and got my spoiled 12 year old to do the dishes for once. Then OH tackled the big project, which...

Ok I have tried to stay positive through all the worrying things that have happened with this pregnancy, but now I just have to vent. I suppose all my worries have been valid. Every time I have gone into hospital, its been for a good reason. Just got back from hospital again, where I...

Just a shout out to my ex sister in law who just had her baby girl today. Weight only 6 lbs. because born 4 weeks early and only two hours of labour! Wish I could be so lucky :) Her lovely new name is Isabel Victoria AW!

I just found out that celebrities or the rich, have a tummy tuck done at the same time as an elective caesarean. So that's how they all look so slim the day after giving birth! What I want to know is, would any of you choose this form of child birth if you had the money for it? I would...

Are there any mothers here who were over due with the birth of their child? Or anyone who tried methods of encouraging the onset of labour? I am just looking to see if a bit of extra exercise on my part might help stimulate labour. At the moment I do zero extra work outs. Its because I find...

So when I post a picture by adding it to my signature, does that mean the picture comes up in every post I write? I just wanted to post a cute baby picture once. Can you help please? Thanks!

Sorry just a bit frustrated sometimes.. Not only can I not sleep when I lay down, due to big boobs and baby smashing air out of my lungs. But as soon as I doze off, baby starts kicking! Its nearly 3 a.m. and I'm up because when I lay down I just start bawling as I cant sleep. Tried...

Does anyone know where I can get a girdle? I need some tummy support for after the birth. My tummy was saggy and floppy after the birth of my daughter. I have seen those belly support belts for pregnancy, but are they comfortable enough after the birth? I was even thinking to get some stretchy...

Has anyone else here lost their appetite during the 3rd tri-mester? I can't seem to crave anything anymore, except cereal with lots of milk. I think all I have eaten today are 4 different kinds of cereal. Don't eat much of it either. I take a few bites and my tummy gets so full I feel like I...
