If I get my 5 month old a jumperoo will I A) get a few minutes peace to make my lunch while she has great fun bouncing or B) ruin her hips, back and emotional development for life Any thoughts?

Any recommendations of what I should get as a first sippy cup? My LO is just over 5 months and I want something I can give her water and expressed breastmilk in when we start weaning in a few weeks. I'm hoping to do blw if that makes a difference.

Hi Girls, First I want to apologise to you all, I had such a severe case of baby brain after my bubs was born that I forgot about how brill you all are and have barely been on here (apart from the odd sneak into tri3 to check all my Tri3 buddies had had there babies, they were all beautiful...

Hi girls, I can't believe it has taken me this long to let you all know but it has been a crazy few days. On Thursday morning I was reading in bed (the joys of maternity leave before baby) and at 9.50am I felt a weird pop. I remember reading on here that some people felt that as there...

What is it about the 34 week midwife check. After Jayx yesterday the same has happened to me. Went for routine midwife this morning and my blood pressure has gone from 120/67 last check to 128/90 today and then she re-measured it and it was even higher so I have to go into the hospital in an...

Different web pages say everything from beginning of Tri3 to 38 weeks or as late as possible. Any advice don't want to leave it too late as it will get harder to get into town to get them as I get bigger and don't want to go into labour without them but I don't want them to be too small.

I have been really set on having a home birth but it is my first baby so gp and midwife aren't that keen (I'm low risk, so far). I've heard that latest research does suggest worse outcomes for first babies with planned home births although no increased risks with home births for second or more...

I've spent the whole of my day off today spending money online and have finally got my first big baby bits :dance: Been researching everything for weeks and tried out loads of stuff at various stores but finally taken the plunge and ordered Baby jogger city mini pushchair and carrycot (I...

Have been thinking about the name Keeley for our little girl. Internet searches says it means beautiful but they also say it is irish. I have irish family and spend a lot of time in Ireland but I have never heard this name in Ireland and the spelling certainly doesnt look irish. I I know...

This has nothing to do with pregnancy really but I just wanted to tell you about this to share my pain or give you a giggle. I've been struggling to get to sleep recently as my bump seems to get in the way. So last night my hubby was away and I went to bed late as I had today off so I would...

Just taken my bump to her first fireworks display. For the last week or so she has really startled with any loud noises but although a got a few firm kicks when the bangs started after a while I she seemed to get used to it so I didn't get as mad a reaction from her as I expected. I enjoyed...

Made it to V-day! :cheer: So pleased but for some reason I've been in a right grump all day. Don't know what is wrong with me I was fed up with everything and everyone at work, I can't decide what sort of pushchair I want and I can't decide on a name for baby. I think I need a good nights...

I just wanted some advice about this girls. Every year for February half term my mum and dad go on holiday (usually the canaries) to get some winter sun. My Mum is a teacher so they can only go away in school holidays. As my due date is just 3 days after the end of half term I had assumed...

Please vote for your favourite girls names. Our surname is Thomas (so ideally looking for something more unusual but as you can see a few common names have also made the list. Don't worry about spellings we can finalise those later. Please also post if you totally hate any of these for a girl...

What do you think about unisex names for boys or girls? Do you always think of one sex or the other and do you think it causes confusion? I'm thinking of Riley/ Rylee for a girl (love it or hate it, what do you reckon?)

and we have a healthy baby :pink: We are team pink!! I'm so delighted to have a healthy little baby girl on the way. I was so sure it would be a boy and I really didn't mind which it was but deep down I did kind of hope for a girly. The scan was actually really scary because she wouldn't get...

My boss wants to know what my thoughts are what date I will start maternity leave but I don't really know. I feel pretty healthy at the moment but it is very difficult to predict how I will feel in 10 or 15 weeks. I work in an opticians so not exactly manual labout but I am on my feet a lot...

I have to wear black knee highs for work but they and constricting my legs and I worry I'll get varicose veins (I'm on my feet a lot). I've seen some maternity support knee highs from scholl and others online but does anyone know if they are any good and if I can get them on the high street...

No I'm not going mad, or posting in the wrong section and I have had 15 weeks to get used to the idea that yes I am pregnant. But... I went on holiday 2 weeks ago and I had no bump of any kind, couldn't feel any proper movement from bubs and generally had no signs that I was pregnant. I came...

Hi girls. OH and I have seriously started to toss about names now. For a boy Michael (Mikey) Jack was the fav for ages but I think I might be going off it what do you lot think. I really want Jack to be the middle name as it was my grandads name. For a girl the only name at the moment...
