Had my consultant appointment today - well, actually saw the registrar who was okay. My background is that I have previously had 2 big babies, 9lb 5oz and 10lb. My youngest had complications during labour because although her head was born normally, her shoulders were actually broader and she...

I have a bit of a dilemma. My middle daughter has an ongoing medical condition that is controlled by regular operations at Great Ormond Street hospital, which is about 2 hours drive from our house. She generally only has to stay in one night after the operation. Normally her dad and I both...

I was so excited when it first started snowing on Sunday night, especially as we don't get it much here. My daughters were sent home from school and preschool on Monday lunchtime and then were off again on Tuesday so we had a lovely time making snowmen and curling up in duvets in front of the...

During my 2nd pregnancy I craved ice obsessively, but had no cravings in my 1st or 3rd. I never really believed in them till it happened to me and I swear it is worse than a nicotine craving - I have even had to get up at 5 in the morning for a fix! This time around, I began to get the ice...

Oops :oops: ! I have just realised that I should have gone for my 28 week bloods over a week ago and I have completely forgotten. It was my oldest daughter's birthday last week and my middle daughter had an operation and we also had a long weekend in Devon before that, so with all that going on...

Edit 6.45pm - A few more details coming through now! Fraser Charlie David was born at 6.09pm weighing 8lb 5.5oz. He has a healthy pair of lungs, big feet and dark hair. Her official labour length was 1hour 39 minutes :shock: Becky is doing well and I'm going to see them now! Sure she'll be on...

I wonder if anyone else has found themselves more scatty since becoming pregnant? Sometimes I find that I can't remember things I know I should or do really stupid things. Here's my latest: Last week we had to go into the congestion zone in London. I phoned up the day after and paid the...

After having 3 beautiful girls we have now found out that our 4th baby is a little boy. :cheer: So far we only have one name that we both sort of agree on, which is William (Billy or Will for short). He will definitely have the middle names David Christopher, which are family names and...

My friend gave birth to her second daughter on Monday. She didn't breastfeed at all with her oldest, partly because she found the idea weird and partly because she had to go on medication shortly after the birth. This time round though she had talked about 'giving it a go' as she has seen how...

The first thing I ever bought for my very own baby was a little white hat with ears from Boots. I had just got my BFP which was a total shock as I was 17 and in sixth form at a posh girls school doing my AS levels. I was a 10 a day smoker at the time I bought the hat with one of my only friends...

...............BLUE! We are in total shock! :lol: After 3 girls we just kind of assumed that we were having another girl, although we did really want a boy. So my OH asked the sonographer if she could see a willy, just joking, and never for a minute thinking that she would say yes! :shock: OH...

I used to be at least a 2 glass a day girl when it comes to diet coke, then went off it completely during my 1st tri sickness. I've started fancying it again for the past week or so and have allowed myself a glass a day. But I've had my glass today and want more now! I don't drink tea or...

We have our 2nd scan coming up in a few weeks and I am going back and forth trying to decide whether to bring the kids or not. When I was pregnant with my 2nd, Chloe was 2 and came along to see. When I was pregnant with my 3rd, Chloe was at school for the scan but Molly came along, aged 2. Now...

We've just got back from our first scan so are pleased to finally have a due date as my periods hadn't come back after Roxy was born so didn't have anything to go by! So the big day is 8th March :cheer: . My 2 spontaneous labours started at 40+5 so I'm gonna expect the 13th with this one :lol: ...

Well I had my first midwife appointment this morning and practically the first thing she said to me was "Well maybe you'll get a boy this time." Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh! We have 3 beautiful girls and while of course we'd love a boy, I would honestly be just as happy to have another girl. For...

I have 3 daughters and they have each been bigger than the last! Chloe was induced 4 weeks early due to pre-eclampsia and weighed 5lb 13oz (hospital - epidural) Molly was 5 days overdue and weighed 9lb 5oz (waterbirth at home - gas and air) Roxy was 5 days overdue and weighed 10lb (waterbirth...

Well we really have to work out what's causing these babies! We have 3 beautiful girls already and I was feeling sick the other day and have been feeling quite tired so thought I'd do a test to rule it out and guess what... 2 lines!!! I have just stopped breastfeeding my youngest and gone onto...

Hello! I'm the big sis of an existing member, maybebaby and after years of her telling me about what she's been talking about then I'm going to experience it firsthand and probably annoy my OH by spending too much time on the computer and not enough time doing housework!! I hope I can bring a...
