By 6 to 8 weeks old, my first daughter (who was bottlefed from 8 days old) went through the night. Daisy is different. I breastfed for just over 2 months (then expressed til 3 months) and now she's 4 months. And she still wakes. Saw Cherelle yesterday who mentioned a little babyfood before...

My eldest is 4 this august, she was bottlefed as my milk didn't come in til after the first week, there were probs, I was stressed etc. Daisy is 12 days old and I'm demand breastfeeding. I'm so proud of myself for doing it, and getting it 'right' so quick. I feel overwhelmed by how demanding...

So. Went in for induction on friday 20th May. Didn't get started with the Propez (sp?) which is the goo on a string, til about 11pm. I think. Spent the next 24 hours experiencing mildish tightenings but nothing was actually happening. Martin only pops in for a little, we mostly play cards...

It's happening... It's really happening... I will keep Cherelle posted the best I can, signal is shite or non existent in my hospital, but when whatever happens, will let her know and she can update for me. Though it'd be ace if she went into labour herself! In which case, I can text her, she...

Last thurs, I was dicked about yet again by the consultant-led dept. After refusing to leave til they gave me my induction date (they couldn't because my consultant was away) I got a sweep, as much as they could do anyway seeing as my cervix wasn't entirely favourable. Had period-like pains and...

I went into delivery suite to be checked out last night, I'd had a sweep on thurs and was told to come in and be checked if I was worried. OH was yet again absent, at a gig - in London this time, and we live in Cardiff... Well, I've done every appointment this pregnancy, on my own, since after...

Well................. Despite putting my iPod through the fecking wash yesterday (I shall have to borrow my OH's) I was compiling songs for hospital, and it occurred to me - what would your top ten songs be to have playing while yer in labour? I've thought of some funny ones. 1. New Model...

My post just arrived and the swab they took from me ladygarden last thurs has come back positive for group b streptococcus. The leaflet enclosed says it's possible the baby can become ill within 12 hours of the birth. :help: Tis bad enough I'm shitting myself over my piles, my chronic spd...

Has anyone previously given birth naturally, who had piles? I felt fine about everything until I realised I was developing them. They are on the outside, and it's not like there's that much space between Le Bumhole and the ladyhole. I am crapping myself (not literally...) about how different...

Apologies if I don't reply to things quickly, we've just the one machine between the lot of us now. Right - I've had some questions answered in the main pregnancy chat section, and I now know I'm being induced around 8 weeks time. I'm hoping I will hear from someone or some people who have...

Last night's post in labor and birth section has disappeared :( Basically, I've got chronic spd and other probs and have given birth naturally before - but am shitting myself about a natural birth this time because the spd is there 24 hours a day, every day. Can anyone who has given birth...

Things are not good. I'm having huge problems with my OH, my pregnancy is not going easily, and I still don't have any friends in Cardiff. I've been coming down off the amount of antidepressants I was on, for the baby and so I can try and breastfeed better this time. So never mind a lack of...

How many of you have been a birth partner? How many of you have had or are planning to have a or some birth partners as well as or instead of the baby's father/your partner? I'm just curious. I had wanted my mum outside the room incase, with my first, but she turned up just after I gave...

Hello, I chose the ticker I'm using, with the size comparison to fruit, because it's funny and also should give me an idea of how big my baby is. Thing is, is when this ticker says (for example, it's a banana now) or when the pregnancy book says, that baby is such-and-such long, is it crown to...

They had me in there for over an hour. Baby was laying face down the WHOLE time despite their manipulating my tummy. So, we're to go back on the 31st - they will also hopefully have a better idea of the gender. But provisionally they think she's a girl. Whatever sheis, she's mine :dance:

This is my fourth pregnancy. It is the first where I have developed some semblence of a bump, and it's the first where my boobs have exploded outwards... I thought I'd finished buying maternity bras. where am I supposed to find the money for new ones!!! B*gger!!! Anyone else care to share their...

Today we're 15w 5d pregnant. I've been coughing for a month, probably due to my bad habit of not taking my purple inhaler every morning and night as I'm supposed to. I managed to start remembering to take it, and then the cough got worse. I've now got a full on chest thingy with added flying...

The subject says it all :dance: I'm known as Dj, am 28, I have one manic but fun 3 1/2 year old girl, my blokey has a 9-on-monday boy, and this will be our child to bind our family :) This is my fourth pregnancy, my body doesn't seem to like being pregnant, and I've had two ops previously due...
