Hi Everyone, We started out BF and managed well for 3 weeks, but then I got infective mastitis and a breast absess and ended up in hospital for nearly a week. During that time my milk supply stopped, even though I was trying to keep it going with a breast pump. So we've now switched to...

Originally posted this in BFP announcements by mistake - new borns are very tiring! Well, Ben and his daddy are both asleep so I've finally got 5 minutes to get back on PF, catch up with everyone and write Ben's birth story. As some of you know we did hypnobirthing classes a few months...

Sorry posted this birth story in the wrong place - sleep deprived!

Well about half an hour ago I came up to go to bed, went to the loo fine, but then as putting pjs on a little more fluid leaked out . Now sat on loo with small trickle coming out quite regularly. No contractions yet, so going to try and get some sleep while I can. Will update if anything...

Just had my 37/38 week midwife appointment and baby is still doing fine. He has finally started to move down though and is 2/5ths engaged! I know this doesn't mean anything and baby can stay like that for weeks, but it's good to know he's heading in the right direction.

Woohoo made it, we're now full term and ready for baby to come and see us! Time to start the perineal massage too :shock:! I finish work on Friday, then after that will start doing all the things to try and get baby out, but it feels like he's so high up he's no where near getting ready to come...

We were originally going to wait another couple of weeks to collect the pram, but then I realised we need to collect it from a store in the middle of a retail park. Taking my husband to a retail park just a couple of weeks before christmas would not be a good idea! He hates shopping and...

Hi Ladies, Woke up at about 3.30 this morning to go for a wee, but by the time I'd walked the 4 steps to the bathroom I was in quite a lot of pain down the right hand side of my bump. Sat on the loo for a while and didn't subside. Tried to go back to bed, didn't help. Ended up having to go...

When i was in Mothercare the other day I decided to have a look at maternity bras and prices etc. but as I was looking I realised there were none that were anywhere near my new size. Currently I am wearing a size 40B non wired bra, but need to put a bra extender on, so technically I'm a 42B...

I think I'm currently having my first braxton hicks contractions. My bump just keeps tightening and releasing. There's no pain, it's just a bit uncomfortable. Was thinking I was going to get away without any! Pointless post I know, but I was excited!

Well went out at the weekend and bought the first proper bits and pieces for the baby. I picked up a moses basket in the Asda baby event a few weeks ago, but that was a bit of an impulse buy. I actually spent the whole day shopping yesterday. Went to Mothercare, Mamas and Papas, Babies R Us...

We've got several family members asking us what we want them to buy us for the baby. We find it really difficult to ask people for presents. When we got married we didn't have a wedding list at all and just told people the best present they could give us was to just come and celebrate with us...

Think it's time for me to move over here. I can't believe how fast this is all going!

Hope to see you all over there soon xxx

As some of you know hubby and I are doing HypnoBirthing classes to help us have a nice calm, relaxed pain free birth. Before I started this I didn't really think about where to have the baby, other than knowing I wanted to be in hospital in case anything happened. Now we've nearly finished the...

Woohoo! V-Day reached for me, and I see from earlier post for Smokey08 too!

Well, we had our first hypnobirthing class last night. It was really great. DH really thought it was going to be all hippyish and tree hugging and was just going along with it to support me. But it wasn't like that at all. The lady taking our class is a Midwife in the Antenatal Day Unit at...

We've been trying to think of names for the little one for a while. We've had his middle names picked out because DH family has a tradition of using the grandfather's (or grandmother if it's a girl) names as the middle names. So our son will have the middle names of Keith (my Dad) and Joseph...

We've decided to try playing music to the little one and see how he reacts. Tried classical the other day and didn't get much response, but played The Feeling's first album, 12 Stops and Home last night and baby finally started kicking me. Not only could I feel it, I could actually see my...
