Hi all! I'm trying hard to lose my pregnancy weight now, but it's really not working out. I'm walking a LOT and also doing some running and bodyweight exercise, and for the past week I haven't eaten anything with added sugar except 4 squares lindt dark chocolate, and no bread except a little in...

Thursday so... I was having a lot of BH, or tightenings of some sort...and decided to start timing them. For the past 50 min I've had tightenings every 5/6 minutes, lasting ca. 1 min each... My lower back has been numb/tingling/a bit painful most of the day, kind of spreading towards my but...

Woke up today with a sore throat, kind of stuffy nose, light chills and pressure in my ears. I haven't been ill since July... so why now!? Only 6 days until Pips due date, I don't want to go into labour with a cold :( Been sleeping all day... and hubby is being an angel bringing me tea and...

Sooo. had a baby shower on Thursdag night, and it was great :D 29/30 people in total I think :) Both friends of my husband, uni friends and people from church. Nice to have them all together. My friend who threw it for me had done a great job and there was loads of food, nice games etc :) And of...

So.. I was sick yesterday, on an empty stomach in the morning, and again today, as soon as I got out of bed. Many people say being sick can be an early sign of labour, but I haven't been able to find any articles or anything about it, it's just what people say in forums that they've heard...

I'm considering buying/renting one, but have no clue what are good deals, bad deals, good TENS machines and not so good ones, so I could really need some advice on what to look for... There was an ad for some on emma's diary, and there's one that's for sale half price, so it costs 30£ to buy...

BUT I'm glad I went :) For one thing, at least I feel that I have read up on enough and that I'm well informed. It's nice to know I know what they want you to know! Also, it seems like they are quite "natural" at the birth center where I plan to give birth, and even in the hospital if you're...

So, what are your thoughts about the vitamin K shot they give babies after birth? Are you having it (had for those of you who are already mothers :), would you rather have it as a pill, or not have it at all? And why? I think I've made up my mind, but not quite sure yet... also, if you've read...

I'm only 36 weeks today, but feel like labour can't be tooooo far away. Week 33 I felt pip starting to move down, and the midwife confirmed this at my 34 week checkup. During week 34 I also felt like my bump shrunk. I read a thread here about checking your cervix yourself, and did this...

1.How many disposable breast pads should I bring? 2.Bought some loose labouring/button down the front clothes today at primark, should I wash these before I pack them? Thinking maybe I should since we're supposed to wash the baby clothes... what have you done? Packing right now, so will...

I really really want a waterbirth, it just seems so much better to me in every way, so hoping I can have one at the maternity unit. I also really want to have skin to skin with baby right away, and allow for him to do a "breast crawl" where he himself will instinctively search for the breast and...

I noticed baby moving down a bit around week 33, which was confirmed at my 34 week midwife appointment where she almost seemed surprised his head was as far down as it was, and asked if I had been feeling any pressure etc (which I had) and now, almost 35 weeks I'm pretty sure my belly has...

So I managed to squeeze a we bit of milk out of my left nipple this morning, less than a drop.. and this afternoon I tried again and got some clear sticky stuff coming out of both. Guessing this is a good sign? When do most people start having some milk? I'm 29 weeks so guess it's kind of...

My mother wants to know what she (and other family members) can get Pip for Christmas (We think he's big enough to get gifts when I'm 32 weeks pregnant :P), And I really don't know. I don't know what's good for him to have! We already have quite a lot of clothes, mostly from e-bay, as well as...

And it feels good! :) I've been noticing I've been reading more and more on the tri3 threads the past week.. so I guess it's a good time to switch, as everything really does change and your questions, problems, worries and joys change with your pregnancy... so here I am, and now I'm here...

:D

Hi all! I would really appreciate some advice! I think I might be having braxton hicks contractions. I've just been sitting still in front of the computer for the past few hours, and kind of suddenly my lower abdomen felt really tight, not directly painful, but definitely uncomfortable. Almost...

anyone else who has this? I started to notice it yesterday, and it'a a lot worse today. Hurts when I sit for too long and hurts a lot when I stand up from a sitting position, and kind of when I walk, esp. after sitting... Hoping there's something I can do to make it better, but after...

It's all arrived finally and I've taken pictures of it all :) I can't believe I got all this for 40£ (including shipping!! :D) Had a rough day at uni, so I wanted to take all the clothes out and look at them and re-sort them now :) Here are the clothes for newborn:

Anyone else feels their baby kicking their colon? Don't know if that's actually what I feel, but it definitely feels like it... It's really weird :P
