Hello everyone! I have a wonderful little 3-month old boy, Leo, who has been an angel so far. We flew to Ireland (from Spain) at Christmas and we stayed 3.5 weeks where he was showered with attention constantly. Now I am back and I have started to work again (from home) but surprise surprise...

Anyone got any suggestions to satisfy a very hungry baby (being bottlefed)? He is already taking 30 ml more than the recommended amount on the tin per bottle, and he takes 7 or 8 bottles per day rather than the recommended 6. I was told to give him a thing called Blevit Digest (dextrose...

I know you are supposed to be pregnant to ask a question in this section but I need some advice from some mums that have had a caesarean... (sorry, I didnt know where else to put it) :think: How long after the surgery should the staples come out? I havent been told, and I dont want to return...

I have now posted my birth story... :)

MY BIRTH STORY - 20TH OCTOBER 2008 22,10 On Sunday morning, 19th October, I woke up @ 7 am with contractions every 15 minutes. I was due to go in to hospital for an induction if they hadn’t started by 12 noon that day so I was very pleased. This advice had been given to me by my gyno, who...

Finally, after a very traumatic 5 days, we are home. Leo is perfect... a real dote. I will post my very long birth story soon. Thanks for all the support... :hug: :hug: p.s. there is a pic up on my journal - click below... and thanks for being my text buddy Sherlock.

My due date has finally arrived!!!! Woohoooooooooooo!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: I am so happy. Baby Leo now has 3 days to get himself out of there naturally or else I have to go in to be induced on Sunday afternoon. I really don't want this, so please keep your fingers crossed for me that I...

Anyone got any tips on getting rid of a sore throat as quickly and effectively (and safely for baby) as possible? :(

10TH OCTOBER Update: Just been to the doctor's for something called "monitores" in spanish; it basically means screening and involved me being hooked up to a monitor for 25 minutes to check the baby's heart beat against contractions. All good in that department. He also checked the amniotic...

Does anyone else's bump feel constantly hard lately? People tell me what Braxton Hicks are like, and I feel like I am having them constantly, as my bump goes hard all the time. (oh... and am I going crazy? where is the labour symptom spotting thread gone....? :oops: :doh: )

Just realised I am full term now. Yippeeeeeeee! I am so excited to meet our baby boy now. Bring it on!! :cheer:

So here is the update on my baby boy: - Baby now weighs 2.5 kilos (5.5 pounds) and the doctor estimates that he will be 3 kilos (6.6 pounds) when he is born. I am a little shocked at this to be honest as it is smaller than I expected. :( - He is starting to engage, which explains the...

I am due to have a Strep B test on Monday - is this done in UK too or is it ANOTHER one of Spain's peculiarities....? :roll: (the test doesn't sound nice... that's all :shakehead: )

I cannot believe it is one month from my due date!! Yipppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :D :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

As some of you may already know, I am giving birth in Spain, not UK, so things are a little different here. For one, we do not have the option of gas and air; the only pain relief is pethidine and epidural, and I am not keen on having either. One thing that is really freaking me out is that if...

Hi everyone, I have been giving the whole text buddy thing some thought and I am thinking that as I am not that well-known on here, there is not much point. What do most people do? Does everyone have a text buddy? Or do some people just disappear off the radar for a few days and return with...

Hi everyone. :wave: For the past week or so, I have been feeling a lot of pressure in my pelvis and I am wondering is that normal at this stage? From my 32 week scan, I knew he was head down so maybe he is engaging? Is this normal? Anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance! :)

Finally, it is finished. I am so pleased. Hope you all like... :)

Last night I looked down at my feet and noticed for the first time in MONTHS that I have ankles again!!! OMG... not sure what caused the puffiness to go down at all but I am well chuffed!! My feet look so slim again.... :dance: Anyone know why this might be? If so, tell me please!! I want to...
