Mine is 7 weeks on Wednesday too and I've had the exact same problem all day! Normally his dummy settles him instantly if he's upset but nothings working and he's having quite a few proper wailing moments. It's so unlike him to be unsettled :( I was thinking it might be teething. Although it's...

Oh also! We have about £70 in our bank account. That's it. Well as he's little brother is 15 we've obviously gotta pay for this cinema trip. Just got the email confirmation come up on my phone that he's booked 2 adult tickets, £22... It seems so painfully obvious to be that we're short on money...

What comes next after you give up asking OH to help, or to do the things he promised? I wouldn't mind but he KEPT saying "don't do that, I'll do that tomorrow" so I leave these little things and then he doesn't do them and they build up into a massive chore! I wouldn't care so much of he was...

I don't know if it's an option but a couple of years ago when I was with my ex he had an abscess removed from his back days before a uni field trip and we managed to persuade the doctor/nurse to show us how to do it and supply us with all the packing materials and I just went with him to repack...

You can print off the SMP1 form online yourself, then just take it in and get someone to fill it in in front of you. It's literally a few tickboxes and signatures, should take 5 mins :) xx

Oh god I get the "oh sorry do YOU have to be at work in the morning??" card if I dare mention anything!! Seriously pees me off!! Agree about the single parenting thing, maybe then I'd get acknowledged as doing all the work on my own instead of everyone assuming he's a top guy and I'm getting...

I only have experience of neonatal impetigo as that's what my LO got but his spots didn't look like those at all so I'd rule that out at least :) Keep an eye on them though and go straight to a&e if the spots develop any fluid or pus under them as that's the warning sign on that one! X

So I'm not the only one! I was going to say that, I'm way more bothered that he's not bonding with our baby.. He freely admits he finds the baby 'boring', which I can understand but does that mean he will have as little to do with him as possible until LO is walking and talking?? I might do...

Goes to me. Feeling sooo resentful... DH hasn't helped with baby for quite a while. No feeds or changes for going on 5 days now. He sometimes carries him up the stairs for me at bedtime. Today he went to the gym after work for an hour or so, came in, had dinner and said he felt sick so went...

My LO was apparently a big baby but he's only starting to grow out of some newborn stuff now at 4 weeks old, and everyyyyone bought us outfits and babygros in 3-6 months. A case of everyone thinking "oh everyone else will be getting them newborn stuff, I'll get the next size up" lol. We had to...

No way on earth I'll have a vbac.. I wouldn't trust the midwives to look after me through labour again - they left me sitting on the day assessment unit for 8 hours after my waters had gone with meconium 24 hours before! I already feel 100% after my section a few weeks ago so looking forward to...

Thank you all :) Birth story is now complete and in announcements :) I think I need to request my notes so I can get all the facts and properly complain. So much of it is hazy from being ill and tired! xxx

Ooh it's been a while. SO much has happened so here goes: Labour It all started at 41 weeks and 4 days. I'd had my second sweep the day before and at 3am I felt my waters go. No 'pop' or huge gush, more than a trickle though. When I checked my pad there was thick yellow discharge-like...

I WILL get round to doing my birth story soon, it was full of dramatics! But just a quick question.. DH wants to seriously complain to the NHS as I'm pretty sure we were neglected, but what's your opinion..? Basically after my second sweep my waters broke at 3am and seemed yellowish. At 8am I...

I too asked the midwife to be brutal on the first sweep cos I was 41 weeks and reeeally wanted it to work! But 4 days later the second sweep did the trick, my waters went the next morning xxx

Think I'll go to the same! They send you home after they've inserted the pessary, hopefully things kick off overnight if not you go in the next day for them to kick things up a notch... So thinking I'll be 42+1 at the EARLIEST! 42+2 will give me an April fools day baby though - that's gotta be...

Gotta be me! 41+3!! Haven't been able to get on here much as we just moved and got no internet :( ...just had second sweep today and booked for an induction at 42 weeks - Friday :( I think this baby would stay a whole extra month if he could!!

I have this very horrible feeling the midwife isn't turning up for my stretch and sweep. She said someone would be here between 9 and 12, wrote it in her diary, but knowing my luck so far this pregnancy I've been forgotten about and will have to wait until tomorrow or even longer for it :( I...

Very disappointed - even castor oil failed me!! That means I've officially tried EVERY old wives tale I could find, except acupuncture :( I guess my body just isn't up for labour! Definitely having that sweep tomorrow (that I expected on Monday - hmph!), so it's my last hope! Looking quite...

Nah, mixed it with chocolate milkshake and barely noticed the taste or texture so it's relatively painless :) I had a 150ml bottle which is now more or less empty, about 5oz taken. Think i took about 2oz earlier and 2.5 or 3oz just now. Haven't needed the loo for a few hours so thinking I'm...
