I had pretty bad SPD during pregnancy, and along with low placenta, pre-eclampsia, emergency c section & serious wound infection, I am unlucky in that I still have it after birth. Am peed off that it's not gone, I am peed off of hearing that I've been one of the unlucky few for all of these...

I don't know what's wrong with him! I'm guessing colic or reflux but it really is just a guess! The last few days he's been quite grumpy - normally he only ever cries when he's hungry and in the evenings from 6pm till about 9pm when he gets a little bit colicky. But now from about 11am till...

Well felt ready to have sex for the first time since Asher was born 4 weeks ago - was totally shocked to find that the pain was AGONISING!! Wasn't expecting that at all seeing as I didn't have a vaginal delivery - honestly it was so painful and burning that I had to tell him to stop! The pain...

Well what a few weeks I've had, just thought I'd say a quick hello and update you. Was induced on 21st April due to early onset pre eclampsia but after 12 hours in labour I was only 4cm dilated and they felt it was too risky to go on any longer so I was rushed in for an emergency c section. I...

So the results of the 24 hour weeing in a jug test were not good....normal protein result would be around 3 and mine were 7.7!! No other signs of pre eclampsia, they said blood pressure was 'ok' but they think the high protein could be a sign of slow early onset of pre eclampsia so are inducing...

My routine midwife appointment yesterday showed up 3+++ protein in my urine which is very high so I've been referred to hospital for tests. Pre-eclampsia has been mentioned but my blood pressure is fine and I have no other symptoms so I don't think they seriously think it's that. Have been to...

I really hope I can successfully establish breastfeeding and am really going to try my hardest. But watching that 'Breast is Best' doc the other day did raise an important issue for me.....I really can't see myself being able to get my boobs out in public!! There was this young girl who had the...

Mrs last minute.com is finally actually thinking that this baby IS actually going to have to come out at some point and I AM going to go into labour sometime soon....am thinking of hiring a TENS machine (quick sharp!!).....any thoughts? Seen them for £19.95 ....are they useful? Easy to use? xx

When I hear people talk about tightenings, they talk of Braxton Hicks type contractions that are painful but come and go and can be timed. The last couple of day I have been experiencing a really tight belly....but it seems to stay that way for hours and isn't really painful, just uncomfortable...

Has anyone else had this...it's becoming a nightly thing for me now and I'm realising it's a big part of my trouble sleeping. I've often complained of waking up every hour or so and I realise it is because after lying flat for that amount of time I am feeling quite sick and light headed. As soon...

Was discussing pain relief choices with my midwife and she told me that Sheffield hospitals don't give Pethadine injections, instead they give morphine...has anyone ever had this? I did some research on Pethadine online but can't find much info on morphine in labour....am sure when the time...

Was meant to be seeing a physio today at 5pm for my SPD....it was booked about 3 weeks ago and my pain has been pretty bad on and off, so even though I haven't got long left I thought it was worth going. Got a call at lunchtime saying they needed to cancel and rebook it because I'd been booked...

Does it matter which you have? Is one better than the other? Tesco have offer on half price Tomme Tippee at the moment so want to buy one. Microwave one is a bit cheaper but if it's rubbish I'd rather spend a few quid more for electric....any opinions?? Ta! xx

Well I thought I was sorted and had bought 4 fitted sheets, 2 cellular blankets and 2 sleep bags. Put up the crib on Saturday night and have found the fitted sheets don't bleedin fit! Despite being a standard crib size from Mothercare...I guess my crib is a little bigger than standard! So that...

Wow am suddenly noticing how hard things are becoming! Not just a little uncomfortable but really damn hard!! Went out with hubby this afternoon just to do a few errands and boy was it hard! We don't drive so it was buses here and there and walking around town and supermarket, and we ended up...
